Death

I just wouldn't feel right if I didn't put down some words regarding a couple of recent deaths. This will nor be horribly sarcastic like my usual writing because it is about people that I respect. In less than a month two people that have shuffled off their mortal coil and joined the choir invisible. Harvey Korman of movie and television fame, too me best known for playing Hedley Lamarr in Blazing Saddles, recently died at the age of eighty one years old. Korman had been suffering from an aortic aneurysm for several months. I have to say even my dark heart was saddened by his loss. You always hope that one day you might be able to shake hands with a legend like him before it's too late. It's about as big a pipe dream as being kidnapped by a bunch of Victoria Secret models and being forced to be their naked sponge bath slave and, just like that scenario, it never really happens. Harvey Korman always made me laugh and I was a huge fan of his since I was a kid and would watch him and Tim Conway on the Carrol Burnett Show. Hilarious, One of a kind and a true comic genius. The world will miss Harvey Korman just please don't forget him.
The other tragic death recently was another favorite of mine. Tim Russert of Meet the Press died of a heart attack at the age of fifty four. Now you might have guessed that I am a news addict and you would be right. I have logged several thousands of hours on global events and when it came to American politics, Tim was one of my favorites. I think it is because I felt he was relatively genuine. He was not another out of touch, blow hard (O'rielly and Limbaugh, I refer to you. Oh and if I misspelled their names I really don't care, they are not worth the time it would take to spell check it). Mr. Russert seemed very easy going and real when he reported discussed a topic, like a normal guy talking about something during a commercial while he waited for the game to pop back on. I was pretty knotted up when I found out about his passing and, if you know anything about me, you know that the death of public figures rarely bothers me. Tim was different, I never met him but I liked him and I am pretty hard to impress. I will miss him and his, let's call it, easygoingness.
That's all, just wanted to say that, I am sure you know about all that anyway but I just wanted to say a few things.



Come on, tell me these guys weren't awesome.
