All good things must come to an end

News came out today that Robin Williams passed away. It is amazing how someone I have never met could have given me so much.

He helped me understand the value of art, and specifically writing poetry, in Dead Poet's Society.

Robin Williams and the story with him an Christopher Reeve gave me an understanding about what true friendship means.

Mrs. Doubtfire taught me that sometimes you have to do crazy things for your family.

Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting gave me my philosophy on love.

It is hard to know that someone who gave so much to others ended up taking their life after struggling with depression and alcoholism. Rest In Peace Mr. Williams, you have given a generation of people more than you could ever know.

From the Treasure Trove

So I finally moved to a new place. Here are some interesting things I found as I cleaned out the old place.

For Halloween my friends went as Salt and Pepper. I, like Ted from HIMYM, went as Cumin.

The Avengers poster. Pretty sweet.

A timeline the bro gave me of all the generations of Pokemon.

My first set of glasses from HS. I went for the HP looking ones.

I was awarded "Best Trainer". I think this was for a summer camp?

I saw contemporary "Two Gentlemen of Verona". I have a soft spot for modernized Shakespeare.

For one of my friend's bachelor party, I made a game where he had to guess what his wife chose or to take a shot. He guess BSB correctly.

The new place is a mess, but once I clean up, I'll try to have something interesting. I really want to do a rant, but I think it will end up being too disjointed. Maybe I might have another zany dream.

That reminded me. I had a crazy dream where I was helping my friend move (this was ~5 years in the future). As we were packing we came across a poem that she had written in a local magazine. It was amusing because I had suggested the topic (a gender-bend with the poem being a woman's expectations when she gets home from a hard day of work) after she had brought up something about gender roles right before I went to bed. The last part might be a true story, but I guess we will have to see how the future turns out xD

Lyrics of the Day:

S.O.S (Anything But Love) - Apocalyptica

"So go on infect me

Go on and scare me to death

I’ll be the victim

You’ll be the voice in my head

You could give me anything but love

Anything but love"
