RIP COREY HAIM

I am not one to go cry and get all dramatic over celebs when they die. Some people no matter who the actor, singer, athlete is, they become instant fans after they die. When Kurt Kobain died I was a big Nirvana fan way before that, but was labeled a "Poser" and I was jumping on the "Kurts dead now I love Nirvana band wagon" No man...fuck off.
When Michael Jackson died, yeah it was sad, I owned Thriller in grade 5...but after that I never owned a M.J. record. So I was not running out and buying up all the CDs in the store and talking about how much M.J. changed my life. When Jam Master Jay from RUN-D.M.C. and Roc Raida died... it sucked, a part of something I loved died. Music is big in my life, and when parts of it are gone... it bums me out.
Movie stars are pretty much the same, I wont watch the T.V. marathon because the actor died. Patrick Swayze, I had nothing against the guy but I never watched his movies so why should I fake it and start now?
As a youngster in the shitty 80s I started going to the movies with friends and one movie that got me good was THE LOST BOYS.  What a bad ass movie, Vampires, blood, pretty cool action, the Frog brothers!
From what I know thats were the 2 Coreys got there start, then they did "License to drive' which was ok, I am sure I wouldn't like it now as much.
The T.V. show "THE 2 COREYS" I did enjoy and I am not a fan of reality T.V.. I use to laugh at how much Haim was a slob, and how Feldman was on his ass. I could relate to both these guys, and the friend relationship they had was very close and similar to the way my close friends and I interact.
From what I have been reading he was out and about in my neck of the woods in Toronto. I would have loved just to chat with that guy man.
I am not here to cry and go on about his career... I just think he had some demons that got the best of him. It can happen to anyone and that is part of life, some get the sugar some get the stains!
I am a fan, it is sad to see him go... I will make it a point to watch "LOST BOYS"
RIP MR. HAIM, TORONTO LOVES YOU!
