corey haim died today. lost boys. license to drive. lucas. he was my contemporary. we grew up with him. not quite a shock but still a surprise. i can't quite get my head around it. maybe it's because he was a jewish kid from toronto. like me. not a great actor but still a part of my childhood. part of my memories of growing up in thornhill. i remember running into him at yonge and eglinton years later as an adult. there he was in the flesh. he was real. yes, he had problems. but he was one of us. and now he's gone.
