I am in absolute shock over this news. He's always appealed to me due to him being so funny (comedians are funny, obviously). Anyways, here's a news article about his death:

Goodnight Vietnam.

 

I know I already posted this in the daily blog. But it's more appropriate here in this thread.


I heard about it around 7:30 tonight. He's had an on-again, off-again substance abuse problem for much of his life. Including drugs and alcohol. He also had heart problems. I don't know what was going through his mind this morning. What was he thinking about that put him in a desperate mind set? It's really sad that he decided the only way to deal with the condition he was in this morning was to take his own life.

Most of us think that because the rich and famous have lots of money, they can afford the best care, the best help, etc. We often think that their money will help them get out of the worst situations. That they can always buy their way out of an addiction problem, with expensive rehab clinics, etc. We now know that money alone doesn't always solve your problems. If it did, rich people wouldn't die.

Addiction and depression problems have taken far too many people we love and admire. Robin Williams is the latest victim. A man who fell victim to the personal demons in his head.

 

Those personal demons can be quite something, and some people don't understand that. Seen many statuses on facebook about people hoping his passing brings depression to light.

 

Indeed, Mr. Robin Williams has checked himself out, his race is run.

I wonder if he just gave into his vices and lived his life like a millionaire wino if he would still be alive today. Always have the peer pressure, Stop it, you can do better, you can be better. Perhaps if he lived for himself he would have been more happy and not of jumped off the cliff. Sure people around him would have been disappointed, but they would get over it or stand back in the shadows and let him be. GUILT GUILT GUILT, I drink I drink oh no, now it's game over. I mean there is a shovel of dirt waiting for each and everyone of our faces, might as well die with a few scars from living on the edge it thats your home.

Good bye Sir!! Truly a one of a kind personality. God speed on your journey off into the vastness of the next phase in your souls journey. You won't be judged, it's all good bro. Finally peace has found your mortal soul.

 

I had a hard time when I first found this out... He was always great to watch and listen to. Such a wise man and such a funny actor.

He will be missed.

 

He won't be missed...

If you have seen the movie "The Razor's Edge" with Bill Murray you will understand the sarcasm in my statement.

 

Hmmm that's a good way to make 2 hours go by quick at work.... lol

 

Like Robin Williams Bill Murray is one of those classic versitile actors. I think this is one of his best movies. His brother is in it with him, the sarcasm and dry humor, love and lust for life, searching for ones meaning all from the privilege of being alive. And then learning most things in life are so trivial and that "it just doesn't matter".

 

I've seen a couple of his movies, but probably not nearly enough lol

I'll have to look into that one!

 

A true great actor that just made you smile and laugh and that makes life a little better.
