I don't like to fill this blog with the sads, but sometimes people die. People who used to be hot but then got really, really old and even though they were still good looking describing them as "hot" was maybe a stretch; like Tony Curtis. You never know when somebody is gonna get called up to heaven. It can be devastating to lose a loved one when there is so much left unsaid. Tell them all those things NOW because if you wait it will be too late. Call your mom, your grandma, somebody you hold in your heart, to tell them they're special. Yes, it sounds supremely cheesy. Mmm...supreme cheese...
A few years ago, when I'd gotten myself cleaned up, no longer clinging to my party boy ways and finally in stable enough shape to travel back home to Ohio, I was flat broke and could not afford a birthday gift to give my dad, grandfather and younger brother as they all share the month of February. Instead, I wrote them an essay detailing how they have influenced me and are a part of my life each and every day. It totally made them cry. Then I cried, and we all cried. Point is, they know how I feel. Not only did I get to say the things I wanted to say, but it changed the dynamic. Now we always say "I love you" when we talk to each other. It makes a difference.

I have no idea who this man is.
I've seen about a million "news" articles about his death but can't be bothered to read any of them since I don't recognize his face.
Rest assured, however, when Cher finally kicks the bucket the epic fan base memorial will be spearheaded by yours truly.
I'll be right there by your side in my "Cher" sequin jeans jacket!
Tony Curtis was in the film classic 'Some Like It Hot' with Marilyn Monroe; he played the part mostly in drag so it has some LGBT significance because of course a "straight guy" falls for the dude in a dress. Oh, he is also the father of Jamie Lee Curtis.
