“I don’t smoke, I don’t drink… I recycle!”

Once in a while I stumble upon a good drama, and 50/50 is one of them, also having some funny moments here and there. It’s has some good acting – the “inceptor” Joseph Gordon-Levitt does a great job, Anna Kendrick does too, plus she is fuckin’ gorgeous and so does Seth Rogen who I don’t really like but somehow he is associated (acting/writing) with some good movies, so he knows his thing. The supporting actors do a fine job as well. It has a nice good, believable, real and raw story, well written and directed…

…and it has the deja vu (with its specific touches, of course). The shock, the denial, the acceptance. The people around who “gawk and lie about how you look” and are more annoying than supportive, the desperate and irrational parents. The puking, the fatigue, the pain, the physical and emotional changes. The sympathy, the empathy, the nervous breakdowns, the depression, the coping. The good jokes, the bad jokes, the morons who react as if it’s leper, the ones who care but don’t really know how to show it, the ones that don’t and betray, the ones that are fucked just like you… the ones who make it and the ones who don’t…

…when even all those billions cannot get you good health and salvation… Whether it was because of pancreatic cancer, which is one of the biggest bitches out there, or because of something else, we are getting worse and worse when it comes to this disease (at least in the developed countries… the poor ones still die from diarrhea and respiratory infections). Nowadays you’d rather have (in comparison, of course) HIV (not AIDS) instead of cancer because the treatments are better and better… heck, Magic Johnson has been living with it for 20 years now…

Sante peeps!

This year, this “god”, and others as well, were just mere mortals… but that’s how life is…
Goodbye hero! Take a well deserved rest now, and may you help & save as many unfortunate people as possible.

…and here’s a cover that does him justice…

“Ajutati-ne sa salvam viata lui Sorin Gologan, un copil de numai 14 ani, maturizat inainte de vreme. Acest copil sufera de NEUROBLASTOM TORACIC, o forma rara de cancer, foarte grava, care evolueaza foarte rapid si ii ataca pe zi ce trece corpul si mintea.”

Dormit 3 ore. Trezit la 7 dimineata. Plecat cu masina cu niste “trebi”… Inainte de asta insa am stat la comp vreo 10 minute. Si am vazut stirea la VisUrat pe blog… Vroiam sa scriu atunci dar nu stiam ce si eram in intarziere un pic… si nu mai are rost oricum…

…poti sa te amagesti pana la un punct doar… si pe altii dar mai ales pe tine… I know that… dar in final, pe langa lucrurile pe care le poti face totusi, depinzi cel mai mult de (ne)sansa. The “Ghost” is just a ghost now… Rest in peace…

Nu am fost un fan al Farrah Fawcett (nu imi iese genitivul lu’ peste cu numele asta). Nu ca as avea ceva impotriva ei sau ceva. Ci pur si simplu… alte vremuri nene. Nu am vazut filme cu ea, sau poate accidental si prea putine si oricum nu imi mai amintesc. Trebuie sa recunosc insa ca a fost quite a big thing la vremea ei (it is said). Nu stiu cat a fost de “talentoasa” dar a fost sigur frumoasa. M-a impresionat insa felul in care a sfarsit. I’ve seen one too many similar situations lately. De trei ani s-a batut cu cancerul si, ca in mai toate cazurile de genul asta cand ajungi la doctor prea tarziu, inevitabil, a pierdut azi lupta. La doar cateva ore de la deces, blogul ei numara peste 600 de comments. So long and farewell, beauty queen… More on this news here.
