Goodbye, Heath

RIP Heath

It was the first thing I saw this morning...Heath Ledger is dead. I wasn't even sure what I was reading was correct and thought it was just my sleepy eyes but then I read it a second time. Then third. Fourth. Fifth. 

It all said the same thing.

Heath Ledger is dead.

That was this morning. It's past midnight now and I still can't believe that he's just suddenly so...gone. Less than a week ago it was Brad Renfro, and now him? What is going on?

Normally, I wouldn't be so worked up over an actor's death--especially one revolving around drugs but for Heath, this is just so unexpected. Too unexpected.

It is truly tragic. He really was one of those actors that had an exceptional screen presence and his acting was nothing to mock at. He was as good actor and his films were all brilliant and he made the silver screen industry a little brighter with his talent.

I've been a big fan of his since I first saw him in 10 Things I Hate About You. I'm sure if I ever saw any of his movies I would feel really sad that he will no longer grace the screen with his presence. 

Watching Dark Knight would be painful. Everyone's eyes will be peeled for him. Not for Batman, not for Christian Bale or any other big movie star name in that movie. 

No.

All eyes will be on Heath Ledger and the last of his greatness.

RIP Heath Ledger
You will be sorely missed.
