Goodbye, Mr. Rogers

Faithful readers, I hate to be the bearer of sad news, but Fred Rogers, known to us all as just Mr. Rogers, passed away this morning at the age of 74.

We should mourn his death, but likewise, we should celebrate his life. Mr. Rogers taught us that each of us is special, not for our posessions, but for who we are and how we live our lives. He taught us that kindness is important above all, and that everyone, no matter who they are, deserves to be treated with respect. Mr. Rogers is the one person whom no member of my cynical generation has ever doubted or mocked. He built a neighborhood in which each of us feel like we belong, where we're going to be just fine.

Thank you, neighbor. Thank you for everything.

Giving The Devil His Due

Me and my buddy Mo went to see Daredevil last night, and it was alright. Colin Farrell is awesome in it, despite being just a supporting character. And Affleck... he's Affleck.

See ya with the next post.

Movies, Funerals, and New Clothes

Hi folks. Two posts within a week? I'm as shocked as you are.

Me and dad saw Final Destination 2 last night. Not having seen the first one, I can't compare them. But, however, I enjoyed the film. Not great, but watchable. On the topic of movies, I bought the DVD of Manhunter at Wal-Mart today. I must say that I think it's just as good as Red Dragon (both films were based on the same book).

I also bought a new leather jacket and shoes today. Why? I needed some new clothes for a funeral. My uncle Milton died yesterday. :(

That's all.
