RIP fellow gamer Gary Coleman.

In your role of celebrity I thank you for the laughs!  I really hope your life was full of more joy than the news would like to portray.

Kinda strange how time flows so fast and the legacy one leave can be corrupted by some well publicized poor choices. No one is perfect and he did some stuff I really didn't like. But I appreciate his humility (at moments), and recognize that he was a frustrated guy who wanted to live well and rise above his mistakes and limitations, like so many. Easy enough for me then to recall the man and the cautionary tale that he lived, but focus on his joyful contributions as young boy more.

Yeah, he lives geographically not far from me. He was always in the local news for his legal issues. He said not too long ago that he hopes that the world will remember him only for his "whachoo talkin bout willis", but I don't know if we were ever given enough to make that image go away. Just another child star from our generation that dies way too young.
