Silly, maybe

It's sad. That's all the input that I really have.
Any untimely death is sad.

I don't know why I feel so bummed about the death of Heath Ledger. I think it might have something to do with the fact that he seemed to have just hit his stride in his career. He had some silly movies behind him, some terrible movies behind him, and he had just hit a crop of really good projects that allowed him to stretch himself as an actor. I feel like there was so much just on the horizon for him. After he lost the Oscar for "Brokeback Mountain", I remember thinking that it was okay, that it was his first nomination and if he kept this up, he'd have many years of nominations ahead of him. It's just sad to think that now he won't.

And it makes me think about my friends. How devastated I would be if it were one of them.

Everybody just has to take care of themselves. And anybody else that will let you take care of them.
