Yeah, 93 is a pretty good life. Thereā€™s not a chance Iā€™ll live to see that. My chances of making it to 55 are pretty slim.

If only New York was down under.

Someone actually shared this in CS, so I thought to share it here.

Have you been? I loved Manhattan and how walkable that place is.

Iā€™m going to be totally devastated when Stephen King dies. Heā€™s been a part of my life since my Mom handed me Pet Semetary when I was like 10 or 11. Heā€™s the one that convinced me to try my hand at writing.

Now Iā€™ve never met the guy, but that doesnā€™t mean it would be any less devastating.

I cried when Bowie died.

Sometimes people donā€™t have to be directly in your life to have an affect in it.

RIP James Earl Jones.

Very sad news. He was a talented actor and had such a powerful voice.

The man made his film debut in the legendary Dr. Strangelove, went on to be THE voice of Darth Vader. Along the way he provided memorable roles in Conan the Barbarian, Field of Dreams, Best of the Best, Hunt for Red October and its sequels. Whether it was the Silver Screen, Television, or the Stage James Eart Jones dominated the scenes. He will be missed.

Glad to see someone else linked and thought of this moment too.

As many of us knew him for his movie roles, his work in the theater was incredible too.
Warning: harsh language, minor slurs due to the 80ā€™s.

You have a terrible sense of humor then.

Oh. Youā€™re just trolling. Nevermind.

Considering people talk about what food they eat etcā€¦
I donā€™t think you should see this as like farming since I donā€™t get anything for any likes.

Relax there bucko.
