How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Gord Downie is dead. Have to say I am skeptical of people saying they wept at the news.

I was too young for Benson but Robert Guilliaume played Isaac Jaffe on my favorite television show, Sports Night.

 

 

RIP.

I just saw Fats Domino passed. Ain't that a shame. He was 89 and surrounded by family. That's the best way to go I guess.

Yeah I'd found out because of Gfted's post.

 

Was always partial to his "I'm Walking".

 

 

And of course his The Fat Man is legendary -

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

There's a certain point in one's life where one occasionally feels like they're measuring their years not by birthdays, but the rapidly increasing number of celebrity deaths per year that have you actually standing up and taking more personal notice, if that makes sense.

 

RIP to all the ones so far this year.
