It is going to be one of those days, I tell you. I have the simple numbers of 012208 scribbled around my various internet hot spots to see if anyone does recall what these mean to me. So far I don't think anyone has gotten it right, but that is fine with me.
For those of you who don't know, this was the day that shook the entertainment world. A day when a legend fell before us whilst in his sleep via drug overdose. Accidental or not, he was a reason to get up and actually go pay money for a ticket to see a movie.
His name was Heathcliff Andrew Ledger and he was my idol.
Not many people cared about this God of the screen dying, because that is all he simply was to them, a God on a screen. I felt that perhaps I could relate just a little bit more, I grew attached to a man I haven't ever met before, (at least in this life anyways) so I am not going to lie, I wept when he died.
Today I bring back this memory simply because I have, what else, an attachment to it. It's nothing too huge, just remembering what I felt should be remembered. You should try it too sometime, it really feels good.

Also, anyone who has their birthday on this day of rememberence, well happy birthday, I hope you really enjoy it.
