General / Off-Topic SO, this year the predator took my father

this year the predator took my father

His name was Orazio *

...
it's many years now that i have this odd ritual during the summer.
At the 5/6 of july i begin to watch the original movie Predator (1987)
And i watch it for some days till the beginning of august.
This is because it always gave me the idea to travel away for the holydays, away from anything.
And the idea to die killed by the Predator in the jungle it's always been a fantasy whos intrigues my mind.

But this year it's special, since my father is gone .. the 8 of july.

And again this year like always, i'll watch the movie, thinking to be the next in the predator's list.

Dad, you fought with honor.
See you soon in the unknown.

Actually, I do. Sorry for your loss.

It's just not something I would discuss on the internet.

I have real friends and family for that sort of thing. Pixels would not bring me comfort.

Best wishes

K so.. i know...you probably didnt mean for that to sound sh**y or insensitive...and im gonna give you the benefit of the doubt on that..

Annnd i really...REALLLLY dont wanna get into an arguement right before bed here..so im gonna preface this by saying IM NOT TRYING TO START AN ARGUEMENT AND IM GOING TO BED NOW SOON.

HOWEVER- i gotta say it man.

That was a really shi**y and insentive thing to say. And at a time when a guy is reaching out here to the Elite community to try and cheer himself up..you come in and say...i have real friends to do this?

REALLY?

Anyway. Had to say it.

You can go back to ...whatever it is you do now.

Condolences to you, and your family Sterlino.

A truly great movie, remind me of Star Trek Generations too .. "time is a predator that stalks us" (Sorin)
But time is also (scientifically proven to be) relative .. and, "if it bleeds, maybe we can kill it" ~ Dutch

All the best and God speed Cmdr Orazio.
