Yes I know I have been missing. I had a migraine. And its hot here, so I was in a dark cool room, with my puppy and thinking hateful thoughts.
Also… One of the greatest comedians and actors passed away this week. I remember Mork and Mindy. It was one of the first shows I was allowed to watch, and he cracked me up. I remember seeing Good Morning Vietnam, loving his performance in it.
It was not until much later that I ever saw one of his comedic specials. And I couldn’t stop laughing. I cried.
From there, I watched his movies, though I did skip the one One Hour Photo and I watched scenes from Insomnia. But I thought he was a great actor for being able to play roles so far from his normal. Yes, his part as the Genie is one of my favorites, it was pure Robin Williams, and I loved Hook. In fact a lot of it, is hidden in Best, since I came up with the idea of Hook in Once Upon a Time being Peter Pan from that movie. I have the music downloaded, so it probably affects me since it is part of the songs I listen to at night.
Good Will Hunting affected me a lot. I was often thought of an outsider, and hid me being smart. I was no where as smart of Matt Damon’s character, but I could emphasize with him.
The man was a genius. He will be greatly mourned. And at the same time, he brings home something clear. Depression is not easy to get out from under. This man who brought so much laughter to others, and that most had described as a happy person, suffered. I suffer under it, and it is an insidious beast that I have to fight against. My writing, and even you guys make it easy to help, but I will admit, there are times I want to give up, and then I list to myself all the good things and then work to get it beyond it. I am not suicidal, but there are times that getting out of bed seems too hard.
So get help. It is not the end all solution of everything. I have help and I fight it. Robin Williams had checked himself in to get help. But remember there are reasons to get up. Reasons to go on. And if you need a list, contact someone.
Here is the next chapter of AIW, and I will try to get back on schedule here, Mr Kittyinaz is going to be out of the country starting Saturday so I will be available more, but I have been taking it easy to spend time with him before he is gone for 3 weeks in China.
If you can’t tell from the banner, here are some warning for this chapter:
As you may have heard, I won the Kelpie’s contest. The story will be broken in more chapters, and more detailed. I will tell you more on it, but if you want to read it, click the banner below, it is the one I made for it. Thank you to all who voted for it, and your reward is that I am planning to expand on it.
The Angels Through the Fire contest is closing Friday, and I will tell that 1st and second is one vote apart, as is 3rd and 4th. Now here is a secret. The IP address’s reset every day. So, If you had one you liked, you can vote on it again. The ballet is on the side, so give a vote for your favorite. Obviously, the voting is close.
Enjoy the chapter, and remember a great man.
It’s hard to remember my first Robin Williams film because like so many of us, he grew up with me via his movies. I likely started with Aladdin, Hook and Jumangi, moving to Dead Poets’ Society and Good Will Hunting as I grew. As an adult I’ve taken great joy in his comedy specials – his energy and vitality both funny and admirable. We fell in love with ALL of Robin Williams’ facets and he is a person that will be sorely missed, not only for his contributions in the entertainment industry, but also his contributions as a kind and caring human.
I loved your contest story and cant wait to read more of it!!! <3
