It seems like every week these days we are writing posts about someone dying. Today it happens to be Patrick Swayze who lost his 20 month fight with pancreatic cancer. I know many people said it was bound to happen. But I was hoping maybe Patrick could last forever.

I want to remember Patrick the best way I know. As Johnny Castle from Dirty Dancing. I used to watch that movie as a little girl and wish that I could be Baby and dance with him. I even bought the soundtrack on record so I could listen to it all the time. Yes, I said record.

Celebrities took to Twitter to pay their respects to this amazing actor that we will all miss dearly.

Our thoughts are with Patrick Swayze’s family and friends as they get through this time. I hope they can find peace soon. I hope that Patrick is happy where he is because his fighting and pain are over. You will be missed my Johnny Castle, you will be missed.

This spoof done by Channing Tatum and Charlyne Yi was released this morning. I can’t believe how good Channing does the impression of Johnny from the movie Dirty Dancing. His motions and the way he talks is dead on. I remember back when that movie was released in the 80’s, I think I watched it a million times. I remember wanting to learn how to dance like that.

The girl playing ‘Baby’ says this line: “I’m scared of being put in the corner, Johnny, and most of all I’m scared of walking out of here and never feeling my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you. Dance with me.” Doesn’t it make you want to just go rent the movie in VHS and watch it again?
