****ing great post Bat. I've often thought, if I could have anyone's life, who would it be? It always ended up Tony. Dude didn't pay for an extremely high end meal and hotel stay for the last two decades. How much higher on the horse could a person ride?

I'm still gutted.

Dude was an Ace, through and through. From his books to his television series. He also practiced Jiu-Jitsu, which makes him a badass. Sucks that he thought the world would be better off without him. He was wrong. Very, very wrong.

My mom got home yesterday and told.me she was feeling the way I was feeling when Chester Bennington died. It's like a depression but not entirely. It's like losing a family member or someone really close to you. It's weird in some ways because even though we never meet these people, watching them on tv or listening to their music makes you feel connected to them.

I was sad when David Bowie died, I didn't expect it but I was. But the comeback and run up to the album and the timing and content of it all made it worse, it was like watching a really tragic film if that makes sense. Unbelievable 'ending'.

Especially when you watch the video for Lazarus and realize he knew his death was coming.

I have two deaths in that deep family sphere.

I remember crying so hard I couldn’t hear anything else. Staying up all night sobbing. My head hurting like hell from wailing in grief. Barely able to drink a glass of water.

No one goes through deep grief because someone they watched on TV died. Get some ****ing perspective.

Call your boss and say you need a week because a celebrity died.

I don’t want to hear it.

:laughing:

Well OH, I'll just say this: nobody deals with grief the same way.

I didn't know this guy, don't even know who he is, but I can respect that his death has hit some members here particularly hard. Hawk should also respect that, but I guess you can't expect miracles. The most we can hope is that he gets bored and moves on to something else, like questioning my sexuality or raging about some humanitarian disaster in a place nobody but him cares about.

Or that he falls asleep early.

I agree with The Hawk about perspective I think but then I said similar re: pets dying.
