“Low plastic stool, cheap but delicious noodles, cold Hanoi beer.” This is how I’ll remember Tony. He taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. We’ll miss him. pic.twitter.com/orEXIaEMZM— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) June 8, 2018
I didn't like him, and I'm just not surprised. I don't have a hatred of him, but what I saw of him repelled me in the same way I avoid other self-destructive people. He exuded that to me in everything I saw or read about him. So I didn't watch him, and I watch a lot of TV chef personalities. That he took his own life only seemed inevitable to me.
ReplyDeleteHeavy drug habit, so that played some part.
ReplyDeleteMarried twice, but driven to be... what?
Plus wasn't he cucked by his gf?
ReplyDeleteAnd who gives a shit what obama or his husband thinks?
