I was at the store about two hours ago, and the Enquirer had a headline that he went home from the hospital, so he could die at home....Guess they had that story right.

He made several EXCELLENT Movies in my mind.

Dirty Dancing, Ghost, Road House, Point Break were very good,
and even Uncommon Valor was entertaining.

RIP Patrick, you gave it everything you had.

I had a friend that passed in May, that reminded me of the Swayze character in Roadhouse. Super nice guy, that wouldn't back down when it came to standing up for what he believed in.
I liked Uncommon Valor quite a bit. Ghost was entertaining, but I don't believe in that concept.

He wasn't into scientology was he? I hope not.

Last night I was watching a movie called 11:14 he had a small part in it. This morning I was wondering how he was doing. RIP, for a Hollywood star he seemed like a nice guy.

You know, I don't think I ever saw Point Break, but now I think I will!

"Red Dawn" for me was the favorite. I watched Dirty Dancing for the first time at a sleepover when I was 13, so what 13 year old didn't have a crush on him by the end of the movie, but the scene in Red Dawn where his younger brother shoots his first deer and they make him drink the blood....

That scene stuck with me for a very long time!

RIP Swayze.
