Adios Patrick Swayze...

Today I, as with many, mourn the loss of one of the greats....Patrick Swayze. This was a man who set the bar for all my future boyfriends after I watched him in Dirty Dancing and then Road House. To me this man was my youth, every weekend for a full summer after Dirty Dancing came out my friends and I would rent it and watch it back to back leaving only enough time to rewind the tape. We taped the the movies dialogue on cassette tapes so we could listen to it everywhere there wasnt a vcr. I can quote all the lines from that movie, word for word and dance every dance step by step. Point Break made us all want to be a surfer and hang out on the beach, the Outsiders made us all want to rumble, Ghost made us all believe that love lives forever. I want to believe that now.
To his family and friends...my thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of loss and thank you for sharing this great treasure with us for so long. For the other fans...lets remember this icon and honor his memory by sharing with the next generation all the laughter, love, honesty and general bad assness that he gave to all of us...may his memory and his art live forever!
R.I.P. Patrick Swayze, you will be truly missed and you will always be truly loved!
This weekend will be a Patrick Swayze marathon at my house...every movie he ever made will play in honor of this great artist...I encourage each of you to do the same...a tribute to a great and talented and handsome man.
