So I have recently finished Patrick Swayze's Biography....and it was every bit amazing as he was.
This man had such a hunger for life, and it was so insightful and so fearless.
Ever since I was a kid I have been in love with Patrick, I used to dream I would marry him LOL, I first discovered him in Dirty Dancing, and i used to dance around the house singing the songs from the movie.
I desperatly wanted to be Baby.

Later Ghost came, and at 6 i made my dad take me to the hairdresser and chop my long beautiful blonde hair into a bob just like demi moores from the movie.

Reading the book it was interesting to discover that he suffered from a long life of depression and alcoholism.
someone with so much passion and determination, he was rather inspiring how he took on the lows and faced them head on.

The book also talks alot about his relationship with his wife Lisa, The way he spoke about her, and their love. He stated for years that he didnt believe she truely lved him as much as he loved her. Now Im sorry but i just dont see how that is possible...hello....its patrick bloody swayze.

The good thing about this biography, is that he was brutely honest, he didnt hide behind the pages...he told it how it was, now matter how ugly it got.

He also happened to write my all time favourite song, that I hope some day i get to play at my wedding

Patrick Swayze



She's Like the Wind Lyrics
 
She's like the wind through my tree

She rides the night next to me
She leads me through moonlight
Only to burn me with the sun
She's taken my heart
But she doesn't know what she's done

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league

Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind
I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream
Am I just fooling myself
That she'll stop the pain
Living without her
I'd go insane

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league

Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind


Feel your breath on my face
Your body close to me
Can't look in your eyes
You're out of my league

Just a fool to believe
(Just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
(Just a fool to believe)

She's like the wind
