serious day of mourning

i was most distressed today to learn that the beloved Steve, 'The Crocidile Hunter' has died.

this really really truly does make me very sad because he was such an icon for environmentalists. he was a bit unhinged...with the whole...daughter on shoulder fighting the croc thing...but honestly, he was a good guy. it truly breaks my heart to know that such a free living...for the moment guy has left us... he is an inspiration to live life fully! do what you LOVE doing! the worst part is that he has an eight year old daughter and a soon to be three year old son...(december)

my parents divorced when i was three and my grandfather died when i was three...that boy will have ZERO memories of his father. he's TWO and his dad, i bet, was gone a lot... that is just SO sad...i could honestly, cry. wow.

steve, honestly dude, with your crazy personality and freakin awesome austrailian accent...you brought my brother and i closer together (OH THE DRAMA) no but really, one night when my brother and i were little...like elementary school my mother said that we could "stay up as late as we wanted" to see what we would do, i think. and kramer and i fell asleep on each other watching steve irwin. we would always go watch TOGETHER and he would tell me all these interesting facts! i think he was an inspiration to everyone. whether they were quoting his "CRIKEY!" or, "she's a beaut!" he showed a loving for all living things, i guess, sort of like hagrid. he really like the dangerous ones. but, in his show, i remember, that he would bring back all sorts of animals to be healed. if he found one that was hurt, crocodile or not, he'd take care of it. Even, the very dangerous ones... that's a gift no one else has. he's one special dude! i think a lot of people are going to be very sad about this...he won't ever be forgotten.

wow. this is so sad.

here's a link to how he died.
