More Solemn Words

While sitting about the internet the other day, I learned of the death of a famous wrestling superstar, Chris Benoit, and the of the deaths of his wife and 7 year old son. I haven't watched wrestling in years, but the last time I did, I remember being a huge fan of Benoit. Hell, to this day I think he was one of the best technical wrestlers I've ever seen. There was just a sort of professionalism to the way in which he did his work that I couldn't help but like him. And the fact that submission moves are key to anything in the world; ANYTHING. So to learn of this the other day has sent me into a bit of a depression over the whole thing. It just doesn't seem fair to lose such a great guy, not to mention his entire household as well. And now they're saying it may have been murder-suicide, implying that Benoit himself was the one that killed his wife and hcild, then took his own life. I really hope it's not true, I have too much respect for the man to believe such a thing. If it is though I don't know what I'll be able to do..save maybe just spend a day sitting and reflecting on it all. I really don't know.

On a side and sort of related note, I am infuriated that the major news networks would rather cover Paris Hilton getting out of jail than this case. The Lake Tahoe fire is one thing, that's affecting real people, but when eveyr network I look on has "Paris out of jail...served 22 days of 45 day sentence...will be on Larry King tomorrow!" I just want to vomit. Who cares about Paris Hilton? Paris Hilton is a DOG. I've heard that sex tape wasn't even that good either. What is the fascination behind this? Fuck Paris Hilton. Fuck her whole slutfacey ways.
