When you die (and I hope it's still several hundred years down the road), I've decided that I'll write a moving tribute to you -- and focus on the grammatical error you made in the second sentence of your final paragraph. Sure, people will feel the need to mourn your loss -- but they are fools. Fools who do not recognize the sinister character you are, one whose subject and participle don't agree.
Good post.

People are so crazy. It's pathetic that they have nothing better to do. And it's sad that people have so much anger in them. My oldest brother (not on MindSay) and I were talking about that just the other day. How we have disagreements with our significant others, but after an hour or two, everything's fine. And it's over. Because we can't hold grudges that long. It's too much damn work.
But there are people out there *coughMOMcough* that just hold 'em and don't let go.

"Come back next week when I rape a cow, just for spite!"- Dane Cook as Steve Irwin.
A tragedy is a tragedy is a tragedy. At least he went quickly.

Well written (well you know... with the exception of what Shiny pointed out).
Some people are just stoopid poopy heads who think too much of themselves and therefore must be a-holes.
That's being said, his death was a tragic freak accident. We haven't told the boy yet, as one of his favorite videos is "Wiggley Safari" featuring The Wiggles and Steve, Terry, and Bindi Irwin. There is one song that is called "Crocodile Hunter (It's Steve Irwin)" that has been stuck in our heads for the past two days. It's the only time I've ever watched him on TV - I've never seen any of his other shows. I spent yesterday trying to avoid letting Av see the computer screen when I was reading the news, or watching/listening to the news. Because I knew he'd be like "That's Steve Irwin! Why is he on your computer Mommy?" and I really didn't want to get into explaining another death to him, because that would lead to another meaningful moving blog, which would lead to some grown-up man tears of some readers.
I am wondering about one thing - when was the last time you saw this much worldwide outpouring of grief for a celebrity? With all these columns and TV specials and blogs and reader comments? Just something I noticed.

We don't need anymore grown-up man tears.
Your right... I'm not sure when was the last time that I've seen this much outpouring. I'm glad you mentioned it, because now I notice it as well. As a whole as well, most everyone I know (work, friends and family) all knew of him and while they wouldn't watch his show regularly, they enjoyed it when it was on. I just think he really brought nature shows, educational shows and family shows into a big pot and mixed it up. Then served it on a platter that everyone could watch and enjoy. I do believe family entertainment is hard to come by. If it is really good for children, it can be boring for adults. His show was really something everyone could watch and be entertained.
While Steve Irwin has paved the way for others, Jeff Corwin comes to mind, The Crocodile Hunters place is empty. There really isn't anyone with that much energy and excitement that he managed to bring to all of his shows.
Anyways, I would be interested to hear how you go about letting Av know about his passing. I just wonder how that will be since we will continue to see Steve Irwin on TV for awhile. Just wonder how the child mind understand death and TV.
Thanks for the reply!

Fame has its drawbacks. Totally. Any other guy could have just passed away without people second-guessing his every move, motive, and moment. And his family could mourn in peace.
I remember as a kid I never wanted to be "rich and famous." Just rich. "Famous" always means people are judging everything you do without all the information at their disposal that you have.
No, no one has anything better to do with their time than to snipe at each other. Pity them. For far too many, the only fame they'll ever have is in the negative emotions they inspire in others.

I'm with you... I'll be happy being rich and would gladly hand off the "famous" to someone else.
Although, when you see the pictures of a famous person all glitzed up and smiling. Hundreds of photographers taking their picture. It does look appealing. It is when you look at the tabloids you realize it isn't.
