Re: Perez is a Balding Hasbeen – wow, were u molested as a child? You have serious issues, get help
that's really sad. odd how the only two survivors both happened to be celebrities.
I love how you only hope that those two people who are famous (and help you make money) are the ones you care about. Just because they are famous doesn't mean that there should be a stronger push for them to live. Those other people may have done more to help "humanity" than the ones you wish weren't dead.
This is just a unbelievable…. what are the odds? TRAVDJ-AM definitly have unfinished business to tend to. My thoughts & prayers are with everyone that is feeling pain from this incident.
