Re: In today's news...
Here it is, The evening before. Ready to roll, ready to bail......
And I almost want to stay... There's a tugging here at my heart I didn't expect. When I first found this little shit hole of mine, and repaired it, made it really mine, I named it Shangri la. My own personal paradise, something to truly call my own.
I spent days with my best friend as my roommate in Shangri la, Met my Wife, got married, had and raised my daughter... In Shangri la, in my little Haven repaired and maintained with my own hands...
9 Years. 9 Years and that decade after the flower of my youth has been the most hectic of my life so far. Any excitement aside, none of it measured to the 9 years in this place, my little corner of the world, with all it's flaws, and little problems that made it unique, that made it mine...
It will be torn down within hours of my leaving, and that tears at my heart as something newer, something... different takes it's place, and it's history becomes nothing more then a memory.
As I carve it's name into the wall as a final farewell... I cry, soft tears, quiet tears for what is almost the death of a silent friend. Material, certainly, but a memorial to my marriage, to my daughter, to the breaking of that marriage, and to all the years and memories that took place within this small, unique little home.
Wish me luck, raise a drink... For me, All my friends here, if you call me friend, raise a glass to Shangri la. A toast to the closing of another chapter of my life. A toast to the memories that now will only stand monument within my heart and mind. A Toast, to years passed and the birth and death of a family, and to bonds that transcend blood, all within these humble walls.
To Shangri La.

Re: In today's news...
Indeed, a glass I raise in toast, in memory of Shangri La and its passing. Though it shall be torn down, the walls of it within your memories can never be torn down. Many family and friends have I buried in the last few years... too many. But my memories of them can never be buried, just as yours of your beloved Shangri La. So think not of this as the sad passing of a dear friend though I say. But more a fresh brand new start of a new adventure.
But a toast I raise indeed, to both my very good friend, and his Shangri La. I can only hope that I am lucky enough to one day have my own Shangri La like you had yours. One which I can call my own, and that I can dedicate to my friend's own Shangri La.
*raises a glass of his most expensive scotch and takes a drink*

Cheers, CW. Here's to the memories of the most recent chapter in your life, and to penning a brand-new adventure. Stay safe on the road.

Re: In today's news...
According to one random commenter on his video, the only reason he ever got funding for his movies in general was due to abusing some kind of "tax shelter" investment loophole in German law. They recently fixed that shit, hence why he's been begging on crowd funding sources lately.
I hope he does go play golf til he dies, and finally leave cinema and games alone for good.

Another legend of the screen departs us. This has been a horrible few years for film- losing Ivan Reitman, Robin Williams, Leonard Nemoy, and now Christopher Lee... ;~;

Iceland has been getting close to a full recovery after the whole crisis thing, while the rest of the world is still struggling

Just shows that the world had to put the bankers causing it in jail, and not give them more money as a bailout

Re: In today's news...
He's in the Guiness book of world records for being in the most movies with sword fights... and the most credited roles ever (or at least he used to be.).
He allegedly met Tolkien once in a pub and got the permission to play Gandalf if there ever was a movie adaptation. And he used to read LotR once every year. On the set the other actors tried to stump him on random facts, like, what's the name of Frodo's dad and such, but Christopher Lee always knew the answer.
And then there's the heavy metal album he relased when he was in his late eighties. It made him the oldest charting artist on Billboard I think (or maybe it was some other list, still, hella impressive.)
If they ever make a biopic about his life... God dayum they have a lot of material to choose from.
He'll be sorely missed.
Ah man, you have no idea - the dude killed nazis during WW2 (some operations he was in are STILL classified). He also saw the last person publically executed by guillotine ever. And he met with Rasputin the monk(!)

Re: In today's news...
Another day, another shooting
Claimed to be racial or religious motivations (But seriously, it's probably racial this time)
Apparently taken into custody, and apparently the guy was atheist
And apparently it's already being used as a panic thing by gun control advocates
This was happening at the same time as the white house is holding stuff on TPP, also known as "Another one of those 'trade agreements' that give corporations full power over everything"
They passed it apparently
Edit:
The patches/flags were edited onto the photo. Probably. So it's litterally being called a false flag
As for more lighthearted news while the world goes to shit,
