RIP Patrick Swayze


We will miss you.

I think this excerpt from the NYTIMES article sums him up very well:
Mr. Swayze said publicly more than once that he was determined not to be typecast. In a 1989 interview with The Chicago Sun-Times, he said, “The only plan I have is that every time people think they have me pegged, I’m going to come out of left field and do something unexpected.”

He also expressed concern about the dangers of Hollywood superficiality. “One of the reasons I bought my ranch was because I didn’t want to hear the hype,” he told The A.P. in 1985, referring to his horse ranch in the San Gabriel Mountains. He added, “Your horses don’t lie to you.”

We really owe a lot to Patrick Swayze and I'm very sad about this news...
