...an ode...

listening to : porcupine tree - a smart kid

one of my favourite actors died yesterday...patrick swayze... i was and am a die hard fan of his movie..."ghost"... one of the greatest romantic movies of all tym...
it's one of those secret wishes of mine..yeah, this is gonna freak ppl out...to become a ghost..not to haunt people..but to keep up with my loved ones...and to see what becomes of this world :)
and he was a real cool dude...now, this was a guy who could act and still got a rough deal from the critics...am guessing this year they will do the formality at the oscars..that is they myt give him a posthumous award or something...sux..
just read this excerpt frm a NYT obituary by anita gates...am giving the link below...

Mr. Swayze’s cancer was diagnosed in January 2008. Six months later he had already outlived his prognosis and was filmed at an airport, smiling at photographers and calling himself, only half-facetiously, “a miracle dude.”

He even went through with plans to star in “The Beast,” a drama series for A&E. He filmed a complete season while undergoing treatment. Mr. Swayze insisted on continuing with the series. “How do you nurture a positive attitude when all the statistics say you’re a dead man?” he told The New York Times last October. “You go to work.”

The show, on which he played an undercover F.B.I. agent, had its premiere in January and earned him admiring reviews.

A week before the series began, Mr. Swayze was the subject of a one-hour “Barbara Walters Special” on ABC, in which he talked about his illness. “I keep my heart and my soul and my spirit open to miracles,” he told Ms. Walters. But he said he was not going to pursue every experimental treatment that came along. If he were to “spend so much time chasing staying alive,” he said, he wouldn’t be able to enjoy the time he had left.

“I want to live,” he said.
