I was very shocked to hear just now about the passing of Robin
Williams, but I'm even more in shocked that they are calling it
a suicide. I'm not a fan of anyone taking their own lives. It
just p*sses me off to no end. I don't want this to be his
legacy. I don't know what was going on that would drive him to
do something so drastic. There hasn't been an official ruling
and may not in fact be what they are saying at the moment.
Whatever the case may be, today is a sad day. I'm a fan of his.
Love Mork & Mindy. Loved a lot of his movies like Mrs. Doubtfire
and Goodwill Hunting. Love his stand up comedy. I'm glad that I
took a chance on watching The Crazy Ones when it was airing. I
thought it was great. It was classic Robin Williams humor. RIP.

undiscovered little gem.

I like hearing Christopher Reeve telling the story. I miss him
as well. The BEST Superman ever!

It's a touching story, but they don't tell the whole thing,
because you can't have a touching tribute that includes a joke
about a colonoscopy.

Such a sweet/sour thing. Sour is not the right word.
To hear a story a make me smile, while sadness hangs over both
of their deaths.

[glow=red,2,300]Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne Grateful for Robin
Williams’ Kindness During Sharon’s Cancer Scare[/glow]
[quote]Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne were among the first celebrities
to publicly share their grief over Robin Williams‘ death, and
for good reason: Williams earned the Osbournes’ eternal
adoration with a gesture of kindness after Sharon’s cancer
diagnosis in 2002.
“I’m forever in debt to Robin Williams,” Ozzy explained to VH1
Radio Network’s Dave Basner. “When Sharon was diagnosed with
colon cancer, I’d seen the film ‘Patch Adams’ and it was a very
— I don’t know if you ever saw that film he made. It’s about a
guy who was a male nurse or something in a hospital and he was
working with terminal people, and I thought, ‘What a great thing
to do, and he’s a very funny man, Robin Williams.’ I got my
agent to contact him and ask if he’d be so kind as to come
around and talk to my wife, which he did. It was very nice of
him.”
In a 2002 talk with National Enquirer, Sharon set the scene. “I
was in bed when he came by, half asleep and a little woozy from
some of the medication the doctors had given me to take
Suddenly, there’s a knock on my bedroom door and I say, ‘Come
in.’ And there’s Robin Williams standing in front of me,” she
said. “Well, I thought I must be dreaming. In fact, I thought I
was hallucinating from the drugs I’d been given! I couldn’t
think of what to say, so I said, ‘Does Ozzy know you’re here?’
Then, Robin got in bed with me and said, ‘Shhh! No, he doesn’t
and don’t tell him!’ Well, that just cracked me up. I was in bed
with Robin Williams. I started laughing hysterically. For the
next two hours, he just cuddled me.”
It continues to be a precious memory for Sharon, who tweeted
that “The entire Osbourne Family is grieving the loss of a kind,
funny, generous and talented man.” As she told the Enquirer, “He
was just the nicest, most giving guy in the world — he did so
much for me.” Added Ozzy, “Forever and a day, I will love that
man.”[/quote]

I've been trying to disassociate myself from the sad turn of
events and just focus on all the good stuff from his career.
Really no need to dwell on the negatives at this point. Will try
to find some time to watch his full stand up shows.
