008 Not-so-random JD post

I'm trying out this new thing where I not complain about the inevitable. It's not helpful, but I'm thinking maybe I'll be less stressed. Haha.

Anyway, to share a really interesting article about a guy who probably would be inconsequential today if he hadn't died young: James Dean. The icon for angsty rebels may possibly become a god (and do read the article, it makes a really interesting argument). =P

Aside: back in grade school, my sister made me read the first in the series Teen Angels. The main plot doesn't matter to my discussion, just the side character JD. Supposedly he's the mentor of the main characters as they learn to be angels and thus earn passes into heaven. Anyway, one of the leads always had the nagging suspicion he was James Dean. By the end of the novel, he leaves them, saying something like he doesn't want to be late for his date with Natalie.

Of course nothing definite is said, but it's fun that it brings up the rumored relationship of James Dean and Natalie Wood during the shooting of Rebel Without A Cause. Haha. I know, several biopics have said that they were never an item. It's still fun though.

Have fun traipsing around the US, Sheng! XD Hehehe.
