Just wanted to share this with you guys - I follow an artist who calls himself "Chris (Simpsons artist)", basically he is this anonymous fellow who draws these sort of abstract portraits of people and attaches messages about them. He has a "stream-of-consciousness" style of writing these messages and they come off as very sweet and genuine if you can look past the many issues in grammar. He's pretty well-known in the UK from what I've seen on the internet.
Anyway, he did a tribute to Neil Armstrong and I thought it was really touching:

houston we have got a problem because the first ever man to have a walk on the moon neil amrstrongs has died. i think that it is always sad when a man dies and has to hold his wifes hand and say good bye to his wife and children for one very last time but i think it is even much more sadder when a man dies who has been and seen so much further and longer away than so many others could ever dream of in all of their dreams and since i was a little boy or 6 i have always gone and lay in my garden at night time and have a look up at the moon and when i look at the moon i always say inside of my head that a man lived on the moon once and i always say once really quickly so it is like i am being chased and even though he only lived on the moon for a few hours i think that we will see his face looking down at us for the rest of time whenever we have a look up at the moon and i know that tonight when it is the night time and i go outside of my house and i look up towards the moon in the deep and black and never ending blanket of space i will see neil armstrongs face looking down at me and he will be laughing his head off because he will think that i look so tiny because he is so far away from me and i will tell him that he isnt even far away at all because i know that whenever the glow from the moon lights up my bedroom at night time i know that it is just neil armstrong kneeling right next to my bed staring at me while i sleep and keeping me safe. good bye neil armstrong i will see you again soon my man in the moon. Chris (Simpsons artist) xox"
Again, it might seem really strange but if you can look past that it's really great, I think. It does him justice.
