Dustin Diamond Passed Away At 44

Better known as "Screech" from "Save By The Bell" actor Dustin Diamond passed away from cancer today.

Now, I will NEVER make light of the death of someone, especially if it is my contemporary and also because it was something not of their doing (Heath Ledger and River Phoenix....bleh). But I was shocked to learn of his death. Apparently it happened quickly.

We will all leave a legacy in this world.
A lot of us will not be remembered fondly. Because, Let's face it, we're all opportunist out here.
But look, Dustin brought a TON of joy to a lot of people's lives. Laughter and the ability to look weird, act weird and still have friends. But his personal life outside of television seemed to be saddled with controversy. You can do the research, as I've said, I won't mention here.

It is always weird when someone younger than you dies. It doesn't feel right.
The last school bell rang for Dustin. May he finally have peace.
