Another link to my childhood - gone

Summer 2009 can end now.

Fare thee well, Patrick Swayze. Rest in Peace.

NBC Nightly News just started their western edition with this as their lead story. I already knew about it, but this is making me so damn sad.

Dammit...dammit...I hate you so much, summer 2009.

ETA: The finale from Dirty Dancing (embedding disabled). You will be missed, Mr. Swayze.

This has been a huge year for loss, and we're not even done yet. I'm a little frightened to see what the rest of this year will bring. :/

Same here. I mean, it's not like this was totally unexpected, but it's still so sad. 1987 for me was all about Dirty Dancing. I was at a slumber party once where I think we watched it 3 times in a row. We had the entire movie memorized. We tried to learn the dance moves. We all had the soundtrack.

And Ghost...I will probably never be able to see that movie again now.

This is so sad. I'm not really shocked...but at the same time I am in a way...I thought he was still doing fairly well. 2009 needs to be over with nao. :(
