elvis

i spent the night watching vh1's most shocking moments and
one of them was elvis's death. after thinking about it, i
don't think elvis actually wanted to die. sure, he had a
drug problem, but when an autopsy was done on his body, it
wasn't street drugs that were found in his body, it was pain
killers.
personally (not that i've ODed) but sometimes you expect
pain killer drugs to take away the pain you're emotionally
feeling. i think elvis had a lot on his mind, and i don't
think he was ready to be such a big thing. i sympathize with
him a lot. i mean, he had a wife who he loved and a home and
a family, so why would he have wanted to kill himself? i
know he did drugs, but almost every rock star does, and
elvis was more than a rock star. i think the reason he did
drugs was to feel. to feel anything, to get away from the
"elvis" label. he might not have been perfect, but you can't
say he was sinful because if you were to listen to the
speech he gave about his pelvis shaking, you would know that
he meant no harm in what he was doing. he was simply singing
and enjoing making music. that's what he did, and he did it
well.
he was what, 42 when he died? i don't think that's a
normal age to go about comitting suicide, i think 20's or
60's is the time people kill themselves. elvis isn't what
everyone thinks he is. his image wasn't that of a hard
rocker, even if he became big in the innocent era of the
50's. he wasn't someone who tested the boundaries, he
followed his standards, and i'm sure that he didn't want to
kill himself.
no, i'm not 100% positive, but i have a strong, very
strong feeling that he didn't want to die. i have a feeling
that he had plans for his future and his family's future.
i know writing about elvis isn't that important, but it is
to me. elvis is someone i look up to, and i aspire to be
someone like him. watching his movies makes me who i am.
and now i'm going to sleep.....
