To Wong Foo .. Thanks for Everything! Patrick Swayze


Just like the movie title Patrick Swayze has starred in .. Thank you for everything. Patrick Swayze passed away yesterday at age 57. He may not be the grand star of all the superstar, however, I grew up in this generation watching 'Outsiders', 'Red Dawn', 'Dirty Dancing', 'To Wong Foo..' and 'Ghost'. At that time, like the young teenagers out there today, we were so hyper and will watch any movies which is a blockbuster. Patrick Swayze had definitely made a few during my era.

At the same time, I felt sad somebody in my era has passed away. A sign of old age (although not so old). When Patrick Swayze announced his fight with his illness, some reporters already ruled out he was dead because they have not seen him for a while. Now he is really dead, I guess the entertainment news can cash in with such a news. Isn't it funny, when we hope for speedy recovery, the media preferred the opposite.

Whatever, it is, thanks for everything Patrick Swayze, especially the classic movies of my era.
