Hey Everyone
Haven’t updated in some time now. Two days ago I was given the news that Marlon Brando, one of my favorite actors had passed away at the age of 80. I don't know if many people on tig are familiar with his work but he was a genius when it came to acting. Movies like "A Streetcar Named Desire," "On the waterfront," "Apocalypse now," and "The Godfather" depict how far brando's talent reached. So I just wanted to salute a great screen legend and leave ya with a quote from his book "Songs my mother taught me" that displays his feelings about life and death.
"There isn't any end to this story, I'd be happy to tell it to you if I knew it. Just as i cannot imagine where i was before I sat under that elm tree at the end of Thirty-second Street with my hand stretched wide for those magical pods, so I continue to be an enigma to myself in a world that still bewilders me. While life itself remains incomprehensible, there is no point in wondering where I will be in the "never-to-be-known after-time," but I am certain that when my breathing comes to an end, the change will find me no more astonished than I was back on Thirty -second Street.
My mind is always soothed when I imagine myself sitting on my own South Sea island at night in a gentle chiffon wind, with my mouth open and my head way back, watching those twinkling points of light, waiting for that eerie, silent streak to spread across the black sky and stun me again. I don't stretch my hand out anymore, but I never get tired of waiting for the next magic."
- M.Brando (1924 - 2004)
Well I must go watch Greece hopefully defeat Portugal, just thought I’d share with you all.
