Fly the like the wind...

Sadly today we learn that Patrick Swayze has passed on.  For many girls of my generation Patrick would have featured on their folders, diaries or bedroom wall.  I first saw Patrick in The Outsiders in which he played Darry, the eldest brother struggling to keep his troublesome kid brothers on the right side of the tracks (sigh).  Dirty Dancing made me want to dance, dance, dance - who didn't want to be pulled from the corner by those brooding, strong arms (sigh).  Pointbreak caught me right in the middle of my surfie phase and I would always choose Patrick over Keanu... those salty blonde locks, the rough and tumble stubble, the banged up knee and tormented morality...  sigh.  RIP Mr Swayze.
