Hi everyone! I need your help!

So a friend at work was telling me the truth about what people think of me. She said everyone thinks I'm really sensitive (which I am) and that I care a lot about others (which I do). But, I guess the fact that I care about the people around me is a bad thing because the group of girls she's talking about say I just need to stop.

Stop caring about others? Sense when did caring about fellow human beings become such a bad thing? Is it because they aren't used to it? Now... this is what I do... so that you don't think I care too much: When someone is sick or tired I let them rest in the fitting room while I work (I work at a clothing store); if someone is having a really bad day I'm there to ask them whats wrong and listen to their problem; I do feel protective of anyone around me who is hurting, so If I have to protect them in some way then I feel like I should.

An example of this is when a fellow co-worker was going through a really hard time. I was helping her up to the employees lounge because she asked me to... and she started crying. She fell against me while we were on the escalator and I held her until we got to the employees lounge. We walk in, and another employee says, "What the fuck is wrong with you? You're always walking around all sad and shit, what the fuck's your problem?". SO.... the obscenities and her attitude just made me react. I said, "Just leave her alone". And then this girl goes off and says that I don't NEED to speak for her, she can speak for herself. Now... was I wrong to feel protective of the employee who just finished crying in my arms? I don't think I was. If I was her... I would want someone to be there for me. I don't expect it, but I would appreciate it.

So... apparently I "take the extra mile" with my caring. But I don't consider any of this as taking the extra mile. It's SO natural for me to care about those around me. I can't just sit there and watch someone cry... I can't... I have to comfort them. Is that so wrong? I just don't understand. When they say they are okay I don't keep pushing myself on them... I then leave them alone.

I want to take her advice, but I don't feel like I should. It feels wrong, and against my nature. She says that by acting this way it'll be easy for people to take advantage of me. But, I don't feel taken advantage of. I don't help them because I expect something in return... I do it because I want to help.

What do you guys think?

Thank you everyone for getting me to 30,000!!! You guys are the sweetest bunch of people... thank you so much.

I just finished a phone interview and have to say that I'm scared... so scared. I have never interviewed over the phone (I'm already awkward on the phone), and it's also been my first design job interview. He asked me if I was "Straight Edge" vegan.. and I'm thinking... "strict". Lol... I'm such an idiot. I'm like, "Oh yea... I'm straight edge!"... which really means I don't drink or do drugs. This I didn't know... because the job is for a soap company that makes a product out of beer. I'm TOTALLY fine with that, even though I don't drink. However, I feel like an idiot for not knowing what "straight edge" was... I didn't realize what it was until he started talking about the company. Wow...

Here's hoping he can look past my awkward interview and think I am worth going to for the job.

Thanks again you guys!

Here's the cuteness:

Olumide and I have been stuck in the house for a while so we needed to get out and see one of the movies we've been waiting to watch. During the first minute or so I was wondering if the movie was going to be as good as I thought it was going to be. But once they get in there... and you know whats going on... you are in a for a ride! Not an action ride... but an emotional one. District 9 is an AMAZING film. It is pretty much the tale of Apartheid in South Africa only with aliens. They are called the derogatory term "prawn" and the things the humans do are just... well... it's realistic. This film reminded me of why I'm a vegan. The horrible way that humans treat each other and other living things is just repulsive. I felt like crying during a good portion of the film. I WAS PMSing at the time... but still. The story really takes a look at humanity and how easy it is for organizations, like the government, fall right back into the habit of treating people or "creatures" poorly because they are different. I think the movie shows how human kind would truly respond to beings of another world. I won't go into the film any further because I don't want to spoil it, but I do recommend it. The only thing I didn't like was the ending... I felt sad and unsatisfied... but I think that was the point.

So I'm watching "To Wong Foo", one of my all time favorite movies, and I just have to share my love for this movie with you guys. Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, and John Leguizamo do such a fantastic job! The film is about three New York drag queens who embark on a road trip and must spend a few days in small country town until their car is fixed. I can't get over it... every time I watch it I'm just in awe of their performances. Especially Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo... as they are not really know as feminine guys. Leguizamo's character 'Chi Chi' is so cute... and he does a brilliant job. If you guys haven't seen this movie, and you are open minded about drag queens, then you have to see this movie! It also stars the lovely and fabulous Stockard Channing, whom most of you know as Rizzo from Grease.

What kind of owner would take a kitten from their own home and toss it in the garbage? What kind of children would beat up an innocent little animal? What are their parents teaching them? It seems like people around here are so concerned about their own lives and well being that they can't find a little bit of compassion for another living thing. Parents should be teaching their children that animals should be treated as a fellow living creature and not as a play thing that can't feel pain. I'm disgusted.

This is a little kitten that my boyfriend and I rescued from being abused by some neighbor kids and "thrown away" by it's original owner. It has a boo boo on its head. His tummy is bloated... and he hasn't gone potty yet. I'm afraid he won't be around for much longer... so lets all hope he can be treated and live a long full life. I'm currently trying to find him a home, or he is going to go to a no-kill shelter where he can be treated and given the best care. Everyone pray for him...

I get hurt so easily. Someone gives me attitude about my "sob story" for a Craigslist items wanted ad and my heart drops. A woman gets mad at my driving, pulls next to me, and starts cursing me out and flipping me off... and I start to cry. Olumide says I leave myself wide open... but I prefer to be that way. I know that if I start getting tougher... that I will go too far. I might become numb to emotion. I love being honest and open and loving. It's completely unnatural for me to be any other way.

If Michael Jackson could be sensitive but tough... then I should be able to as well. I just don't know how... it's not in me. It takes so much energy for me to be like that... I don't know if I even have it in me...

I just don't understand...

This woman who was watching some of my things while I moved to Chicago... has "lost" all my clothes. She claims she never received them. Her friend, who took the tote of clothes down to his car, also claims to have never received them. After realizing that my stuff was gone, all I cared about was getting the rest of it back from her. Through a ton of lies and unrelenting defensiveness... this woman has finally given my stuff to my parents (a week later) and insists that Olumide and I betrayed her and accused her. I never once accused her. She tried to pit Olumide and I against one another. I was nice, polite, non-accusatory, and apologetic to HER when I found out about my clothes. And yet... she has been completely unreasonable throughout this entire thing. She didn't even show up when I went to her apartment to get my things during an agreed upon time. She claimed her friend had cut her hand open... at 7 in the morning... on the day she just happened to have to meet me. It all seems fishy and she is acting like someone who is guilty.

I don't know about you guys... but if I was watching stuff for someone and something was missing... I would show my sincerest apologies and make sure that they got the rest of their stuff back. Then again... I guess that's what a nice person would do.

I just don't understand people like her... I was nothing but nice and I still got bitch thrown at me. As a lesson to you all... don't trust friends! Unless you grew up with them and they have shown that they can be trustworthy...

ugh... I need focus on letting this go... people like that do not deserve my time.

RATING:

This is neither rant nor praise... just feelings about the film. There might be spoilers... I won't know until I'm finished writing.

I am only familiar with the x-men series through the previous films and the original animated series from the 90's (not X-men: evolution). Olumide (my baby) has also told me tons about origins of several different characters; so it is from this rather virginal view point that I make my opinion of this film.

I liked the intro... though, people seem to be using the same effects for intro's more and more now. It reminded me of the intro from Watchmen; they both go through the scene, pause, spin around the scene, and start it up again. It's cool and all... but it's becoming predictable and tedious for me. Still cool though.

I liked the relationship between Wolverine and Sabertooth... I thought their sense of "brotherhood" was too cute in the beginning. I loved the scene with the swords stopping the bullets AND a big plus for me was that they went to Lagos, Nigeria! That was Olumide's birth place and home until he was 5!

Anyway... blah blah blah... there was a little too much action for me in the beginning. I like seeing big battles at the end. I felt like the film was over every time they had a big action scene. And is it just me... or did the special effects look pretty fake for a good portion of the film? His 'knuckle knives' looked SOOOO fake. Especially in the bathroom scene. It bothered me so much that it took me out of the film.

The naked romping was too funny. And the helicopter scene's conclusion was SO MUCH BETTER than that scene where Lagolas takes down that giant elephant in LOTR. I compare the two because when I saw LOTR, everyone cheered and clapped when he took down that elephant all by himself. The taking down of the helicopter in Wolverine was way more applause worthy.

Scott seemed too old for the time period. He should have been much younger. And despite what other people say... it does make sense that he doesn't remember Wolverine. It's not like Wolvie walked in there and yelled "Hi kids! I'm Wolverine! I have knives that come out of my hands, and I'm going to use them to free you!". So yea... continuity worked... except for Scott's age.

Ending was fine. Deadpool was creepy... and I'm kind of sad that they messed him up so bad. It doesn't really mean anything to me, but I know it does to those who read the comics.

I wished the story would have focused on more specific mutants origins, instead of just cramming in a bunch for a few minutes. OH! And I liked gambit! I was waiting for him. I wish they had given him the black and red eyes... but it probably would have been too distracting.

*UPDATE* ANGRY RANT AT THE END ABOUT IGNORANT IDIOTS...

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

On Obama's second day:

So that draft he circulated yesterday to close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay... well he signed it today... and now it will be closed within a year. Can you believe this guy?

"President Barack Obama moved quickly Thursday to reshape U.S. national-security policy, ordering the Guantanamo Bay prison camp closed within a year, forbidding the harshest treatment of terror suspects and naming new envoys to the Middle East and Afghanistan-Pakistan. "We have no time to lose," he said at the State Department as he welcomed newly confirmed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to help him forge what he called "a new era of American leadership" in the world.

He said his administration is committed to lead. "We can no longer afford drift, and we can no longer afford delay, nor can we cede ground to those who seek destruction," he said.

On his second full day in office, Obama moved to reverse some of the most contentious policies of his predecessor, George W. Bush.

By ordering shut the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, closing any remaining CIA secret prisons overseas and banning harsh interrogation practices, Obama said he was signaling that the U.S. would confront global violence without sacrificing "our values and our ideals."

"First, I can say without exception or equivocation that the United States will not torture," he said. "Second, we will close the Guantanamo Bay detention camp and determine how to deal with those who have been held there."

Look at him go! And also... look how cute him and Michelle are... awwww....

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

On Obama's first day:

"In a Day One burst of activity, President Barack Obama stepped into the Oval Office for the first time as chief executive Wednesday, summoned advisers to begin dealing with war and recession and ordered new ethics rules for "a clean break from business as usual."
Obama also froze salaries for top White House staff, placed calls to Mideast leaders and had aides circulate a draft executive order that would close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay within a year."

I knew he would work on fixing things right away. Here is more from the article:

"The way to make government responsible is to hold it accountable," Obama said as he unveiled ethics rules that he portrayed as the fulfillment of a major campaign promise. He said the action was necessary "to help restore faith in government without which we cannot deliver the changes that we were sent here to make."

In his phone calls to Israeli, Palestinian, Egyptian and Jordanian leaders, Obama emphasized that he would work to consolidate the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, said the new White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs.
Gibbs said Obama expressed "his commitment to active engagement in pursuit of Arab-Israeli peace from the beginning of his term."
A multi-denominational prayer service at Washington National Cathedral and an open house at the presidential mansion were also on the schedule of the 44th president, taking office on a promise to fix the battered economy and withdraw U.S. troops from the unpopular war in Iraq on a 16-month timetable.

The shift in administrations Â former President George W. Bush was back home in Texas Â was underscored in far-off Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where a judge granted Obama's request to suspend the war crimes trial of a young Canadian. The judge issued a one-sentence order for the 120-day continuance without so much as a hearing, possibly the beginning of the end for the former administration's system of trials for alleged terrorists.

A draft executive order made clear the new president intends to go further. It called for closing the facili... ]]> =PinkLace So Proud... http://PinkLace.deviantart.com/journal/22692273/ http://PinkLace.deviantart.com/journal/22692273/ Tue, 20 Jan 2009 11:43:51 PST The Animatress Myspace Blog LiveJournal Princess and the Frog Facebook

Why are you so lazy?

There is a trash can two feet from you WITH an ashtray just aching for the taste of your finished cigarette. Instead of satisfying that poor ashtrays hunger... you toss your cigarette on the ground, and stomp on it right in front of him.

Person after person has the nerve to commit this same act, in the same way, leaving their garbage for others to clean up. Is the world your trash can? Apparently you think it is.

Seriously... people like me are not the one's who should be picking up your shit. So walk those two, or three, or ten extra steps to that trash can... and throw your death sticks away. It's the LEAST you can do for killing people with your second hand smoke.

Please People.

Not to sound preachy.

But please, try to live your life caring about more than just yourself and your families. Live for something bigger. Believe in something.

Animals.
Children.
Elderly.
Homeless.
Environment.
Social Conflicts.

Pick one... or two. Or three.

Caring about something doesn't mean you have to care about everything. But it's worth doing. Make your life that much more meaningful. Fight for something.

I do it every day of my life. I feel sad for those who think my passion and dedication is an extreme obsession. I'm proud to represent that which I believe in. And I can tell you... it's the most rewarding thing you can do for yourself, this world, and the future generations in your family.

I fight for for animals rights. For equality. For our planet. What do you fight for?

I couldn't afford the amount to bring them with me so I'm just waiting for either my parents to save up some money to send me some... or for me to pay for them to be shipped. I literally only have the clothes that I wore on the plane. I have barely any personal belongings... no makeup, no hair dryer.. no flat iron. Not even my shampoo! So yea.... I'm desperate

I have not yet expressed my overwhelming joy over Barack Obama's victory... not online anyway. So I would first like to point out how amazingly happy I am that we will have our first African American president. What is doubly touching about his win is that he has an African name... which made it even more unlikely that he could ever be in the position he now posses. Olumide, my husband, is from Africa... my kids will have a father who is African... and they will grow up in a world where another man with an African name and an African father was capable of making it to the highest office in the United States. This is incredible to me... and it has given me hope for the future of my children, as well as for the country. I can't help but get choked up when I see his face. If I watch a news broadcast about Obama long enough... I eventually start tearing up. What he means to this country is just.... you can't even put it in words. What he means to my family is indispensable. My kids will have a different world presented to them then what was presented to Olumide and I... and I'm so thankful for it. This country has redeemed itself in my eyes.

A Republican who doesn't fully vet is a 'maverick.'

If you spend 3 years as a community organizer growing your organization from a staff of 1 to 13 and your budget from $70,000 to $400,000, then become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new African Amerian voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, then spend nearly 8 more years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, becoming chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, then spend nearly 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of nearly 13 million people, sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you are woefully inexperienced.

If you spend 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, then spend 20 months as the governor of a state with 650,000 people, then you've got the most executive experience of anyone on either ticket, are the Commander in Chief of the Alaska military and are well qualified to lead the nation should you be called upon to do so because your state is the closest state to Russia.

If you're a black single mother of 4 who waits for 22 hours after her water breaks to seek medical attention, you're an irresponsible parent, endangering the life of your unborn child.

If you're a 13-year-old Chelsea Clinton, the right-wing press calls you 'First dog.'
If you're a 17-year old pregnant unwed daughter of a Republican, the right-wing press calls you 'beautiful' and 'courageous.'

If you kill an endangered species, you're an excellent hunter.
If you have an abortion you're not a christian, you're a murderer (forget about if it happen while being date raped.)

If you teach abstinence only in sex education, you get teen parents.
If you teach responsible age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

If you're a Republican senator who solicits gay sex in an airport bathroom, you get to return to your job in the Senate and are encouraged to run for re-election.

This is from FROGLEGS, a livejournal dedicated to The Princess and the Frog

"Randy Newman commented about the film in the Rolling Stones magazine. Here's what he said:

"This is a song I had to write for a go**amn alligator," Newman says.

The alligator song is for an upcoming Disney film called The Princess and the Frog. "They showed me a clip," Newman says. "It's set in New Orleans in the Twenties. It was a scene in a restaurant with white people and black people all sitting together, laughing. I said, 'Oh, you're making a science-fiction movie?' The studio people said, 'Ha ha . . . uh, what do you mean?' " Newman shakes his head at the stupidity of the world... "

So basically, Disney are ignoring the racism that would have been rolling thick and fast in the 1920's (which I actually think is right of them because of the fact that this is a children's movie), and Randy Newman doesn't seem at all excited about working on this film.."

Personally... I also think it's good that Disney is ignoring the racism in the 20's. Disney is all about taking us to places we can't go in real life... a world without racism and discrimination can be included in that fantasy. Is it likely for a Middle Eastern Prince to marry an African-American girl from New Orleans during that time period, or even now? um NO, I don't think so. We are going to see the jazz age as it should have been... racism free... like ALL the ages should have been. Besides, when my little girl looks at this movie and see's a Disney Princess like her, I don't want racism to have any part in the story. It wasn't a part of my favorite Disney features... well... accept for the actual LACK of black characters... but I was young and didn't really think about it until my teens.

Randy Newman needs to understand what he is working for... and what it represents, before getting all pissy on us.

You know how you have those days where everything goes wrong? Yesterday was one of those days for me.

I have been feeling incredibly shitty lately. My energy level is always low, no matter what I shove into my mouth. I have hit a slight depression, which is hard for me because anyone who knows me knows how happy I am all the time. I am the kind of person where even if I was in the deepest depression known to man, you would never be able to tell. My smile and laughter are a guise for my true feelings. I still feel fat even though no one thinks I am and I weigh 120.... which to me is 10 pounds too much, but I won't get any deeper into that. My body feels like it's betraying me... I keep getting these broken blood vessel marks where Daisy kneads my skin. Anyone who has a cat who likes to massage knows that it's not that hard, but her slight touch has managed to mark my skin. There are two more points to make, but they are gross and too personal to spill to you guys...

To get to why I'm writing this....

I drove my hubby to work, switched cars with my mom, and came back home to take a nap because I had no energy. I woke up at 1:30 to take my computer to this guy to fix it. As I was making my way down the stairs I thought I had reached the last step when... BANG... I fall forward, drop the computer, and scrape the skin off my lower thigh, and both my knees. Not one to be phased by such things, I pick the computer back up and went on my way. After dropping off the computer, I headed to the doctor where I had to have all of this stuff done to me, gave 'em some blood, and left not knowing anything about my failing health. I was done! Wanted to go home... it was 90 something degrees and I was tired. Why was I tired? I don't know! I ate. But eating doesn't seem to matter to my body. Anyway... on my way to go pick up my boyfriend I got a ticket. For speeding? Nope. For not wearing my seatbelt. If I had not worn the black strapless dress, I probably would not have that added on to my current list of stressors.

May not seem that bad... but it was for me. The 3 weeks of freaking out about my health added to the pain of that day. Got some good news though! I know that IÂm not pregnant, and not anemic. So now I could possibly have diabetes or something wrong with my thyroid. Guess weÂll see! Thanks for reading

love you all ^_^

I went to the Obama rally! There was a record 75,000 people there! "This was the largest crowd of any event in the Democratic Primary." I got atleast 20 feet away from him... but during the speech I was about 40 feet. He is such a nice man! He came out with his family and kissed them while we all stood in the blinding heat. I almost fainted... I should have ate before I went but I didn't because I'm stupid... I also got burnt... again, because I'm stupid. He was truly inspiring and I'm glad I went. If he becomes Preisdent I can say I was a aprt of history! I went to the first Black presidental candidates rally in Portland, Oregon. That's something I will always remember and hold dear to my heart. Here is some footage from that day [link]

I know I'm going to get some backlash for saying this... but the only reason that Hilary Clinton won the votes in Indiana is because of all of those racist seniors!

For those of you keeping up with the elections then you know that Hilary Clinton won Indiana, and Obama won North Carolina. When CNN went over the voting numbers in Indiana they pointed out that the majority of voters under 65 had overwhelmingly sided with Obama! So Hilary only won the state because of the senior citizens. Now I know that a part of the reason for them siding with Hilary was her contributions to veterans, and of course they may just like her views more than Obama's... but come on... these are the same people who abused, ridiculed, and looked down upon the African American race. In my own experience... I have noticed that my husband (who is Nigerian) and I mainly get negative looks from the elderly. They stare, they give us the stink eye... they have a problem with it. So no matter how many people are going to state other wise... Olumide and I both know that the reason she won the state is because those people don't want a black man as president. I'm not saying all of them are racist... but the amount of tolerance between age groups is pretty obvious. ThatÂs all I want to say...

I know people are going to be mad at meÂ but IÂm so sick and tired of the racial intolerance in this country. Those of you who think everything is fine now and everything is equalÂ well you are seriously mistaken. My boyfriend canÂt even search for jobs online because as soon as someone reads ÂOlumide SaidÂ they either think terrorist, or some African who canÂt speak English. And of course the fact that they donÂt know how to pronounce it will keep them from calling as well. It just drives me nutsÂ I have to witness what my husband goes through everyday and it hurts to know how ignorant people are.

I guess I sound biasedÂ but can you blame me? The chances of those elderly voters being at least a little racist are extremely high. AnywaysÂ if you read thisÂ thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my rant. I love you all and hope you have a very nice week ^_^

BUT! There is now a great example of how it should be used! See, you don't want to use it in traditional animation because youÂre adding human movement to animation - which usually has exaggerated gestures and does look like actual human movement when compared. So the only good place to use it is when you want human-like movement... but you want to do it with a style... with a creative flare... that fits the medium. The best example of this to me is the promos for the FX show Dirt.

The only official pictures we have so far from Disney...

:Information Provided by Wikipedia:

The Princess and the Frog is an upcoming animated feature film currently being produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. It will be the first traditionally animated (2-D) feature film in Disney's animated features canon since 2004's Home on the Range. When finished, it will take its place as the 48th animated film by Walt Disney Animation Studios. It is being directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, directors of The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, with songs and score composed by Randy Newman. Anika Noni Rose is providing the lead character, Tiana.

The film, which began production under the working title The Frog Princess, will be an American fairy tale musical set in New Orleans during the 1920s Jazz Age, and Tiana will be the first black Disney Princess.

:History:

Disney had once announced that Home on the Range would be the studio's last 2-D entry to their animated features canon, but after the company's acquisition of Pixar in early 2006, it was reported that Ed Catmull and John Lasseter, new leaders of the animation department, were interested in going back to 2-D. Ron Clements and John Musker, directors of successful 2D Disney films Aladdin and The Little Mermaid will be writing and directing. About a month later, at the Comic-Con, Disney animator Eric Goldberg confirmed the news and also mentioned that Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken would be in charge of the music.

The film is believed to return to the Broadway-style musical in the style of the successful Disney films of the late-1980s and the early 1990s., but as the film is still in development, it is unknown at this time what direction it will take. Wickham also reported that John Lasseter had personally asked Ron Clements and John Musker to direct and write the film, and had let them choose what form of animation (hand-drawn or CGI) they wanted the film to be in. As of June 2006, no artistic staff had been hired for visual development or storyboarding yet, but the script was expected to be finished by Autumn 2006. New and updated software will be used in the digital processing of the film, as the old CAPS system from Disney has become outdated.

On November 13, 2006, it was revealed that Randy Newman, who was responsible for the music of many Pixar films, would be in charge of the music in the film instead of Alan Menken and his new lyricist Glenn Slater.

E! Online
Coroner: Heath's Death Accidental OD
-02/06/2008

The results are in: The New York Medical Examiner's Office has announced that Heath Ledger's surprise death on Jan. 22 was the result of an accidental overdose of potent prescription drugs.

"Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine," medical examiner spokesperson Ellen Borakove said.

"We have concluded that the manner of death is accident, resulting from the abuse of prescription medications."

Although the coroner's office did not reveal the drug levels in Ledger's system, the actor's family, through father Kim Ledger, released a statement indicating that there were only therapeutic amounts present.

"While no medications were taken in excess, we learned today the combination of doctor-prescribed drugs proved lethal for our boy," the family statement said. "Heath's accidental death serves as a caution to the hidden dangers of combining prescription medication, even at low dosage."

Wednesday morning's announcement should quell lingering rumors that illegal drugs may have played a part in the Brokeback Mountain star's untimely passing, despite denials from police that any such substances were even found in the actor's SoHo apartment. It should also end any Mary-Kate Olsen-related conspiracy theories.

Shortly after the body of the 28-year-old actor was found, police confirmed they had recovered six different prescription medications, among them sleeping aids, anti-anxiety pills and an antihistamine. Borakove's rundown of the lethal combination of pharmaceuticals that felled Ledger included the generic names for the painkillers OxyContin and Vicodin, the anti-anxiety drugs Valium and Xanax, the sleeping pills Restoril and Unisom.

Three of the medications the Oscar-nominated actor was on were prescribed in Europe. All of the medications were issued in Ledger's name.

"Today's results put an end to speculation, but our son's beautiful spirit and enduring memory will forever remain in our hearts," the Ledger family said. "Few can understand the hollow, wrenching and enduring agony parents silently suffer when a child predeceases them.

"To most of the world, Heath was an actor of immeasurable talent and promise. To those who knew him personally, Heath was a consummate artist whose passions also included photography, music, chess and directing. We knew Heath as a loving father, as our devoted son, and as a loyal and generous brother and friend."

The official cause and manner of death was originally expected to be announced Tuesday, though the NY Medical Examiner's Office delayed relaying the news for unspecified reasons.

Prior to the results being announced publicly, Ledger's family, currently back in their hometown of Perth, Australia, after attending several Stateside memorial services, had to be contacted and informed of the information.

The family returned Down Under Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday afternoon, local time, Ledger's former fiancÃ©e Michelle Williams and two-year-old daughter Matilda touched down in Perth in anticipation of a weekend burial for the actor.

Williams donned black and carried Matilda, who was hauling a white stuffed rabbit, through the airport terminal while surrounded, as Ledger's family was just one day prior, by tight security.

Once outside the airport, the duo were escorted to a waiting car, which drove them directly to the suburban home of Ledger's mother, Sally.

"We treasure our beautiful granddaughter Matilda (to our dear Michelle) as well as an unbelievably wonderful network of close friends, forever, around the world," the family said.

While the family has kept mum, and indeed issued repeat requests for privacy, a funeral for the actor is expected to take place this Saturday at Perth's Karrakatta Cemetery. He will reportedly be interred in a family plot, alongside two of his grandparents. In the wake of the toxicology reports and the amped-up reporting on the service, the Ledger family has, once again, requested privacy.

"Families rarely experience the uplifting, warm and massive outpouring of grief and support as we have, from every corner of the planet. This has deeply and profoundly touched our hearts and lives. We are eternally grateful.

"At this moment, we respectfully request the worldwide media allow us time to grieve privately, without the intrusions associated with press and photography."

I have loved Will Smith ever sense the early days of Fresh Prince. He is not only a very talented actor, but he is such an incredibly nice guy that no one in Hollywodd has a bad thing to say about him. But as talented as he is... sometimes his performances were kind of limited. His emotional scenes are usually quite similiar to one another and he always has to be the tough guy. However, his performance in "I am Legend" is that of a truely outstanding actor.

His range of emotion and how he dealt with it in this role was absoluetly amazing. In one particular scene he protrayed real, honest to god fear in a way that I have never seen before. You truly believed this man was not only in fear for his life, but for his only friend. When his sanity broke and we saw the sadness one feels when they are alone in the world... for three years... you believed that man was beyond his breaking point.

If you have not seen this movie... see it. Please see it. His performance is definitley Oscar-worthy... even if it is a zombie-type movie.
