Hollywood woke up this morning to the news that actor-comedian Bernie Mac has passed away due to complications from pneumonia. He was 50.

The actor-comedian, who told jokes on train platforms and plugged away for decades before coming into the spotlight on his own Fox sitcom, the Ocean’s movies and more, died today—one week after it was learned he’d been hospitalized with pneumonia.

A spokesman for the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office confirmed to E! News that Mac had been a patient at Chicago’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital for “over a week,” and that he died this morning of “natural causes.”

I loved Bernie Mac and watched his show late at night all the time, he was almost like a member of my family since I don’t get out much! Bernie, you will be dearly missed..

OUR FREAKIN’ AIR CONDITIONER BROKE!!!! in the middle of August no less… I can’t tell you what a happy camper i’m going to be in the broiling heat, craving cigarettes, starving, with no money to do anything about it. I’m mean I’m like this little flower anyway, EXCEPT when you take away all my resources, then well i’m like the female version of the incredible hulk, bad things happen when i get angry, you don’t want to see me angry, no , bad.

and I’m still up… i have been working on templates for this blog all night. It seems I’m never satisfied. I’m sure that if I found the perfect blog template, i would get bored with it anyway. Besides, the ever searching gives me something to do.. like the quest for the holy grail… well sorta. I have a headache now, but I’m wide awake in spite of taking enuff pills to drop a horse. but i don’t like being out of bed when i can’t afford cigarettes, i just like to sleep those days away, and that makes not being tired all the more poignant.
