IT SUCKED.
So many good people died. The economy is in the shithole. Barack Obama is president. Global Warming stuff is still going through. Chris Brown beat Rihanna and things are getting overhyped.
So, without further adieu, my word of the year and the song of the year (that described it).
RIP
and
"Death is the Road to Awe" by Clint Mansell from The Fountain OST

2009 Celebrity Deaths Tribute Video:
So, going along with the word of this year, I must state the deaths of each year that made me sad... Well the saddest...Or just in shock...
2007 - Anna Nicole Smith was the big one... There was also Angelina Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand. Luciano Pavirotti made me sad.
2008 - There were more than 2007. There was Yves Saint Laurent, a pioneer in fashion. I really did love his work. There was Bernie Mac, resident funnyman, and great actor. There was Isaac Hayes, chef of South Park. Roy Scheider, of Jaws. Paul Newman... :( LeRoi Moore, of the Dave Matthews Band... And then, at the beginning of the year, was Heath Ledger. Too young...
2009 - So the deaths I listed above... Out of those it was pretty much all of them. Well, some I cared less than others (sorry), but out of those, six made me really sad. Ok maybe more.
Natasha, David, Jett, Michael, Adam, Patrick, Billy, but most of all, Brittany...

Oh, and just so you know, "Death is the Road to Awe" is my new theme song.
UPDATE: I forgot some that made me sad (which makes me a terrible person I KNOW), namely The frontman of Quiet Riot (hello reunion tour!) and Eartha Kitt, possibly the best Catwoman and a great voice actress (and of course regular actress).
