Time flies.....

I remember that day like it was yesterday... When i get up in the morning i always watch NY1 to see about the weather and when they said that a member of TLC was killed... I knew it was Left Eye before they announced who had died

So, what's the "news"?

Vh1 is airing the Left Eye documentary May 19th 9/8 c

I was just thinkin about Left Eye
congrats 2 T-boz who looks exactly the same

every April 25th I think god, why is this date so goddamn familiar? Who's birthday is it? Then around evening time I remember...ugh, she really was my favorite for a minute. Miss that woman like hell. So creative, spontaneous, pure rock 'n roll (though her music was hip hop).

It was my first day home after my freshman year of college. I remember turning on MTV, and being shocked that they were playing old TLC videos during the early evening, and afterwards, they announced that she'd died.

Wow, 5 years already...

1986: Nuclear disaster at Chernobyl

The worst nuclear power plant accident to date occurs at the Chernobyl nuclear power station in the USSR. The explosion of the Soviet reactor spurred a radioactive scare in Scandinavia even before it was publicly confirmed by the Soviets. Radiation levels jumped to 50 times normal in Sweden and at Chernobyl 32 people died and dozens more suffered radiation burns in the opening days of the crisis. Only after Swedish authorities reported the fallout did Soviet authorities reluctantly admit that an accident had occurred. An estimated 5,000 Soviet citizens eventually died from cancer and other radiation-induced illnesses caused by their exposure to the Chernobyl radiation and millions more had their health adversely affected. In 2000, the last working reactors at Chernobyl were shut down and the plant was officially closed.

Me too. I was watching the "Hat 2 Da Back" video the other day and it brought back so many good memories.

So The Last Days of Left-Eye is supposed to premiere on VH-1 on May 19th.

Wow, it feels like it just happened yesterday. I'm still just as sad.
