For Steve Irwin
For those of you that know me the best I'm sure you know that I am incredibly upset that Steve Irwin died. I started watching Crocodile Hunter in late high school. I can honestly say that I would not be as into reptiles as I am today if I did not start watching him. I was happily on my way to a life dedicated to marine biology when....
I dont really care what anybody said about him, he truly was my hero. And anybody that read my myspace profile once can see that I had him under Heroes, since the day i set my profile up. I went to go see Crocodile Hunter Collision Course the day it came out in theaters and owned it on DVD shortly after. I own his autobiography and everything. He was just a great great man and so incredibly dedicated to his work. I cant believe the enthusiasm and passion of this man and thats why I loved him so much. I've had a cloud hanging over my head the entire day because I have lost my hero..just think of your hero and think about losing them today if they are still alive..yeah.
The thing about the accident that is shocking to me is that it is so rare. Its so rare for a moderatly harmless animal like a sting ray kill somebody. The part about it that kind of scares me is that it could have happened to anybody. Anybody that scuba dives or snorkles, this wasn't Steve in the middle of his dangerous antics and this time he just got it...this is honestly something that could have happened to me.
But all in all I will always have good memories of Steve and the man that introduced me to the awesomeness of crocs, alligators and venomous snakes. I'll never forget him
