Hollys rant #1 (Yes, I have a few today. .and my brain isnt even awake yet! ) Being a realist doesnt always mean youre cynical, does it? The stories all over Facebook about the actor dying have been rather tiring, but whats upset me, whats bothered me more than anything about it is watching intelligent people with intelligent opinions fall under massive attack via comments on their own posts. Im really sick of it. Im sorry to say it but there are just as many, if not more, people in this country NOT mourning as there are mourning. I was relieved to find out by one post (That nearly fell under attack) That Im not the only one who had no idea whatsoever who Mr Walker was. I didnt even recognize the pictures of him. .I dont watch those kind of movies, I feel my brain rot and lose IQ points anytime I do ... kinda like when I watch Spongebob. Lol. I know people loved this guy u he was famous. ..ok, I get it. But it does just bug the ever living shit out of me to read comment responding to a post about how upsetting it is that this actor gets so much more attention in death than all of our recently fallen soldiers COMBINED. ...the comment was that Mr Walker represents this country as much as our soldiers. Im not, nor is my husband or any close friends, enlisted for service. Why? My psyche couldnt handle what they go through. My father served before I was born, but it wasnt something we talked about much. Until recently I didnt know that he was in the service when both my brother and sister were born and left two years before I came along. But when you hear about (easy example cause my brains still half sleep) two Navy Seals fighting off an onslaught, never giving up, holding their posts and waiting for help that never came like at Benghazi..... how can it be that an actor whom several people dont even recognize represents this country. ...MY country. ...as if he were more than the people who fight like hell, it really pissed me off last night. ..and it saddens me so much today. I dont want my country represented more by an action actor than by true heroes. Its just not right. .. it breaks my heart to hear that people feel this way... and SO strongly at that. I was a teenager still when Kurt Cobain died and still deluding myself in the belief that I would someday be a musician. I wont lie. ..I cried when I heard the news. After a few days, Id kind of heard enough of it though. I was still a kid And kids are usually the ones who most idolize celebs. Im sorry the man died, Im feel for his family as Ive lost so many that I love in my life and understand that pain. .. But I ask the same intelligent question so many have been verbally abused over. ..what makes this actor so important?
