Nobody puts baby in the corner

My biggest teen heartthrob died today. Patrick Swayze was THE guy in the late 80s. Our prom's theme was "I've had the time of my life".

I was so crazy for him that I even stalked a local movie rental/tanning salon asking nearly daily if they would give away their lifesize standup of Swayze and Jennifer Grey dancing!!!! They finally got tired of me so they gave it to me.

This is a pic of what my standup looked like but I had the full body version. http://l.yimg.com/eb/ymv/us/img/hv/photo/movie_pix/lions_gate_films/dirty_dancing/_group_photos/jennifer_grey8.jpg

Eat your heart out girls! Jennifer do you remember my standup? Whole family probably thought I had lost it.

Think about it. Me driving around town in my 2-door black TBird (I loved that car!) with a lifesize Patrick Swayze in the passenger seat! It was AWESOME!

It stayed in my room at home forever. I wonder what ever happened to it..... Here are some more pics to bring back memories. http://www.google.com/m/search?oe=UTF-8&client=safari&q=Patrick+swayze+and+Jennifer+grey+picture&hl=en&site=images&ct=title&oi=image_result_group&sa=X&ei=ZAuvSqChKYquMquo3NMD&cd=1&resnum=1#

And don't forget about him in Ghost and Outsiders and North and South. And all those cheesy movies that were only worth watching with the sound off and the fast forward button ready for the few scenes he wasn't in.


All reminiscing aside. I am SICK AND TIRED of young people dying from these crazy diseases! Where is all our research money going? I am angry my mom was taken away from me. I am angry I lost my little niece. I am angry my grandma and aunt died from cancer. I am angry that my friends have lost their mothers, fathers, loved ones.

God bless each one of us.
