Patrick Swayze Just Died


Patrick Swayze just died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 57. He has been battling the cancer for almost two years.


This really has been an awful year for celebrity deaths. Like John Hughes a month or so ago, Swayze's death really bothers me. I grew up watching Patrick Swayze movies because of my parents. I used to watch Ghost, Dirty Dancing, The Outsiders and Red Dawn all the time. A few years ago, I re-discovered Swayze through his awesome role in Donnie Darko as Jim Cunningham, the self-help guru who also happened to be a pedophile. 

Earlier this summer, I even had two characters in my web series Bags and Boards be really big Patrick Swayze fans. I had them say a lot things that I thought were cool about Swayze and how it was a travesty that he had cancer. 

For me, Patrick Swayze is just one of those actors who you don't forget. The guy was a super star. The fact that he is dead really just is hard to fathom for me. To make things worse, he went through two horrible years of literally wasting away. It's just not fair (btw, why haven't we cured cancer by now... it seems like something we should have figured out by this point). 

So, while this news isn't surprising, it's pretty upsetting. Patrick Swayze was awesome and he didn't deserve to go out this way. It's a really sad day.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go listen to "Unchained Melody" by myself and cry myself to sleep.


R.I.P Patrick. You will be missed.
