There isn't a person that I know of that hasn't heard or seen anything with Robin Williams. Funny man, and a great actor. Can only hope he's up in that comedy club in the sky with John Belushi, Chris Farley, the Three Stooges, and continuing to do what he loved. RIP Robin Williams.

We lost one of the best. You will be missed Robin Williams.

I might go down Luc's route and watch Good Morning Vietnam, and maybe one of his stand ups.

Comedian Robin Williams has passed on, at the age of 63.

Likely going to watch Good Morning Vietnam, in his honor

That's so sad. He was really awesome. RIP Robin. Sad

It appears everyone's favourite church is planning to protest at Robin Williams' funeral (The link I saw is an Australian newspaper, so I don't think the link will work here).
Seriously, can't Westboro just fuck off & get out of our lives already? I'm sick of seeing & hearing their garbage

Just found out that Jimi Jamison, who replaced Dave Bickler (lead singer on Eye of the Tiger) in Survivor, died. He was 63 and it was apparently of a heart attack. Chances are you might not have heard of Jamison, but I'll bet you've heard this song.

The Paraplegic runner from South Africa who ran in the Summer Olympics in 2012. Dude killed his wife (allegedly, he claims intruder) like a year ago.

I'm not seeing much from that over here in the states other than Al Jazeera and BBC and they hardly even cover anymore.

He actually claimed it was an accident. His defense is he thought someone had broke in while they were sleeping, and went into their bathroom. The "intruder" that went into the bathroom was actually his girlfriend, he and shot her, thinking she was the intruder.

So i just made the biggest change in my life. The place i worked at closed, and i was transferred down to Springfield, IL. They kept my pay the same, so i can actually afford to live on my own out there. I found a great apartment (for literally half what it would cost in Chicagoland) and moved saterday. My fiance is coming down in two weeks. Final stage of adulthood achieved! Very Happy

They have a right to vote just as much as anyone else. Just sucks that they disagree with the younger generation, I guess.

It's questionable whether 16-17 year olds should have the right to vote though.

Serious question for you guys. To help promote my new videos, what other websites should I check out? I've got accounts here and at SimRacingDesign. I've also posted to r/nr2003, but haven't gotten much success there.

I guess what I am asking is, how can I better promote my videos? (Btw, if you have seen my videos, thank you so much for doing so. I greatly appreciate it).
