heath ledger



wow.

what the fuck. this is fucking bullshit.

i never write about celebrities b/c i dont give a fuck, but i actually really dug heath ledger. he just seemed like a really cool, genuine guy who cared about the craft and art of his work-- not so much about being famous. i was stoked out of my mind about him playing the joker. i was convinced he would wipe the fucking floor w/ nicholsons performance. ask anyone who knows me and theyll tell you how unabashedly geeky i am over the dark knight, particularly over ledger as the joker. in an age of celeb-fatigue, ledger was one of the few i wouldve considered approaching and giving props to if i ever saw him on the street.

theres more to say, and im really quite surprised b/c ive written quite a bit about this, but it isnt the time yet. this is still breaking and theres still far too much speculation going on, so out of respect for him, and his friends and family, im just going to hold off for now.

ugh. this is fucked. you will be missed, absolutely.
