heath ledger
I am in shock right now. I arrived at home a few minutes ago and the first thing that popped up when I started up my laptop is the news story about Heath Ledger being found dead.
What an incredible waste of a beautiful and talented man.
I had ginourmous crush on Heath from the moment I laid eyes on him and then he completely blew me away with his extraordinary presence on screen. And oh man, he sure did remind me of someone in my real life on whom I had a terrible, terrible crush. Sigh.
I cannot believe it is true. It feels altogether too much like the day River Phoenix died. The only difference is that I knew River had a drug issue. I had never heard of Heath Ledger having any of those types of problems.
I feel so sorry for his baby daughter and his family. What a tragic loss. Why does it seem that so many people with these amazing talents have the darkest demons that become their undoing?
And even though Heath didn't say it, I will leave you with my favorite qoute from 10 Things I Hate About You....
I have a dick on my face, don't I?

Seriously, I thought it was sweet. RIP.
