Robin Williams agreed to be the Genie for Aladdin under the condition that his voice would not be used to sell merchandise. Disney did not hold up their end of the deal, overdubbed his voice for advertisements, then sent him a Picasso painting as an apology.
“When I see you again.” ♥
So, I’ve read about my friends going to the cinema to watch “Furious 7” and saying they cried. I haven’t even seen the first 6 movies properly and didn’t really think why it would be so emotional. All I knew was the song “See You Again” by Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth from the soundtrack, which is indeed beautiful and where the lyrics I used on this edit originate from. Then, yesterday I looked up some information about Paul Walker and read about the accident in which he died. My first reaction was going like: “Oh… my.. gosh.. I remember all of this and now I understand everything.”

When Daniel Kovarbasich was just 12 years old, a 52 year old man named Duane Hurley approached him outside an elementary school. Hurley was walking his dog, which was used to successfully attract Daniel’s attention. Only a few days later, Hurley returned with the dog and asked Daniel if he would watch it for him while he ran an errand, to which the young boy happily agreed. Following Hurley’s return, he handed Daniel $30 and thanked him for his help, a move which in hindsight has been regarded as the start of a grooming process which lasted years.
Duane and Daniel went on to establish what appeared to be a friendship. Although Daniel’s parents initially expressed concern, they used information from Hurley’s dog’s collar to research their son’s new friend but found nothing incriminating about him. They therefore allowed their communication to continue and even treated Hurley amicably themselves. Daniel’s mother Donna spoke of how their family would sometimes struggle financially but Hurley would be quick to voluntarily purchase whatever they needed, which only strengthened their positive opinion of the older man. However, despite no apparent problems, Daniel’s parents were extremely shocked to discover on 22nd January 2010 that Duane Hurley had been murdered in his own home- by noone other than their own son. It turned out that Daniel had smashed Hurley round the back of the head with a pickle jar before stabbing him a total of 55 times. After Daniel’s arrest, it quickly became apparent that the teenage boy had been sexually abused by Hurley for years preceding the murder.
Speaking out about the abuse, Daniel told of how it started when Hurley would ask him questions such as “How many different ways can you say the word ‘penis’?” This then progressed to Duane watching Daniel while he urinated, and eventually touching his penis in exchange for money or goods. Daniel recollected that Hurley would simply say “Bigger toys, bigger things” when he asked for something. Ultimately, two weeks before Duane Hurley was murdered, the abuse reached its worst when Daniel was sleeping on Hurley’s couch. While he lay there pretending to sleep, his abuser approached and anally penetrated him. After this point, Daniel began to accept that what was happening was wrong. On the day of the murder, Daniel snapped after Hurley offered to pay him $80 but insinuated he must have sex to receive it. Speaking in court, he acknowledged that he’d lost control and did not realise the extent of the attack until Duane was dead and he had calmed down.
Daniel was sentenced to 5 years probation and was ordered to remain imprisoned until authorities were able to secure him a place within a treatment facility. If convicted of the original murder charge, Daniel would have been facing at least 15 years in jail.
