effing sad...
Sep. 8th, 2006 11:33 pmi suppose i should just start by saying how fucking devastated i am by the death of our beloved Steve Irwin. if ever there was a gentleman who had the gumption, the energy, the complete love of and for life of all kinds, and enough heart to live til he was 104, it was Steve Irwin. i just can't fucking believe he was taken so easily and quickly and pointlessly.
i always imagined he'd still be around, 50 years from now, all scarred up, with various eyes and limbs and chunks of flesh missing, telling his great-grandchildren all about his life and adventures.
fuck. FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just can't believe it all. i don't want to believe it. i loved that man, felt like he was a friend, and always from the time i discovered him, wanted to let him know how awesome and wonderful he was, and how much i respected him and what he did. heck, i even wanted to marry him at one point.. okay, it was for about a week, but still...
if/when he had to go, it should have been during some croc operation or other, not some bloody stupid swim with the rays. and now his daughter Bindi will forever feel guilty, because he was filming a segment for <i>her</i> show (which might not even air at all now). and his poor son Bob will most likely barely remember him. i can't even imagine what Teri must be going through. and his poor father... to lose a wife and a son in the space of a few years... Jesus.
i just hope that no one ever shows the tape of his death. i pray that it will stay in police custody as long as it needs to, and that it will be destroyed as soon as possible. his poor friend and producer John already had to watch the fucking thing, to verify what was on it... no one else should have to see it. no one else has the right or priviledge to see it. i read somewhere that it was due sometime to be shown in Queensland, but FUCK!!!! why the hell would anyone want to show and/or watch that? please, let no fucking Queensland cops make copies and distribute it.
i feel so fortunate to have known of him at all. such a wonderful man, so passionate about everything he did, so loving with his family and friends (furry or scaly or human). i fell in permanently in love with him (or the idea of him) when i saw him bury a lady croc who had died, over 100 years old. he dug the grave himself, and simply wept the whole time, during all of the digging and the lovely eulogy he gave for her ( i think her name was Mary? Aggro's Mate?). anyone who could love a croc, or any animal, that much earns a permanent place in my heart.
the bloody diver he rescued off that rock in Baja didn't even know who he was at the time. as Eddie Izzard would say, "Stupid man..."
my family and i were supposed to meet my sister in Brisbane next year... to go together to Australia Zoo and just hope that Steve would be there, on one of his semi-rare actual days in the croc stadium, giving his wonderful performance. we'll still go, most definitely, but shit.... it just won't be the same at all.
David Bowie had better not die anytime soon. i'd have to go and live in a cave then.
