It's a Killer Rush

Ok, so I didn't do my homework before I posted about Patrick Swayze. I didn't consult IMDb, nor did I even dig very far into the annals of my movie loving brain, because if I had, I would have remembered that Patrick Swayze starred in the best surfer movie ever made, Point Break.

OMG, I love this movie.

Patrick played "Bodhi", a word that translates into "enlightenment" or "awakening." Buddha actually means "one who has achieved bodhi." So you can see how appropriate it is that Patrick would play the part of such a spiritual outlaw.

Other Swayze movies I (shamefully) overlooked are: To Wong Foo, Donnie Darko, the Outsiders, and North and South. The latter is an incredibly racist, soft-core-porn-set-on-a-plantation/made-for-tv-mini-series.

He really has given us so many memories to cherish. Let's do like 9/11 and never forget.
