R.I.P. Carrie Fisher 1956-2016

Ironically i do not have a single Leia item in my SW collection... well i did have a vintage Kenner Bespin Leia when i was a kid a million years ago but nada in my current 'collection'... what can be said about this woman has already been said today on the internet. As a kid who grew up on the original trilogy she was the first 'princess' i knew of... before Diana... before our own princesses here in Brunei especially Sarah.

Anyways this was a shocker and unexpected cos it was just days earlier the mother announced that Carrie was in a 'stable' condition after the heart failure incident on a plane. This proves once again how mortal we all are but this lady and the others whom we lost this year will remain immortal in our hearts as fans. Thanks Carrie and thank too George Micheal. 2016 a shitty year indeed.

David Bowie 1947-2016

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom (Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (Five, Four, Three)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (Two, One, Liftoff)

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in the most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here am I sitting in my tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear And I'm floating around my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."

RIP Roddy 'Rowdy' Piper 17.4.54-30.7.15

One of the greatest heels in pro-wrestling... that entrance with the bagpipe music and the kilt... this guy was Bravehart. My most favorite of his matches was the backlot brawl with Goldust...
