Yes I know it's been posted, but I had to post my own blog in his honor v.v
I cried and was horribly depressed when I found out Steve died. He was personally a childhood (and even at my age now) hero of mine. Grew up watching his shows =3, admired everything he did, including the big risks and stunts. Alot of people are already making fun and jokes about him, some even going as far as saying "FINALLY!" or my fave :I "He deserved to die." To those people I say F***K YOU. He didn't deserve to die. The man was great and amazing, he went to great lengths to protect and save the animals he so dearly loved. You hardly see people with that much passion and love for what they do besides doing it for television or damn publicity. He worked and lived for the animals; I mean the man and his crew ran into a burning forest to save as many animals as they could from burning to death. I'd like to see you effing gutless assholes go out there and do HALF the sh* he did. And not just the stuns or the risks, but the work and the effor that man put into his life and into his work. Screw you for saying he just agitated and annoyed the animals, SCREW YOU IN THE ASS TIMES TWO. He actually cared about them. He didn't diserve to die for anything! And saying crap like that not only shows HIM disrespect but his wife and his two lovely children and everyone else he loved and held dear. His wife and him had one of the strongest relationships ever not only through love but through their shared passion for animals. His little daughter Bindy was already taking after his intelligence with wildlife, his looks, and his enthusiasm. It's not the slightest bit f**kn funny that he's gone and her role model was taken from her. His son Robert didnt even get a chance to really know him. So I say again, SCREW YOU to the ass holes for ever putting him down for the things he did. He's going to be sorely missed by so many people, his fans, his friends and most of all his family. He was one in a few to truly be proud of and to be held in high respect. I may sound over exaggerated, but that's how he was to me. He worked hard to do the things he did. He didn't work for humanity, he worked for the ones who needed it more. Oh and to those out there also saying "Whats the big deal? It was bound to happen…" Well NO SH*T SHERLOCK….. It's bound ot happen to everyone, death WILL happen. That doesn't stop us from grieving when it does. So screw you too =DI honestly wish this was just one big joke and he was still out there filming his docu's and shows :( He really did some good for people. He appealed top everyone, grownups, children, teens…all ages. He made it fun, educational and worth watching. He will always have a place in the hearts of his fans and his family. We loved you life and we'll love you in death…. so sad you had to go, but everyone has their time. Love you Steve <33<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h266/Pandaroo_fang/SteveIrwin.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>I'm sorry if this sounds over the top but I had to vent. So sick and tired of people's lack of respect for him. If you dont like him, fine. But dont go bad mouth him about it, especially after his death.
I think the jokes are rude and rather tasteless in fact, totally unaccpetable - but saying "Wooh Steve Irwin is amazing" simply because he died doing what he loved isn't exactly tasteful either. That's like saying you love chocolate after you've eaten it. I'm not against devoting your attention to a celebrity, but only saying it when the guy's dead? Seems completely illogical to me.
But don't mind me, go about your mourning. ^_^fact is….
i thought you died, cuz you haven't been on for like… 2 months.I wasn't saying it cause he was a celebrity, I dont care about that. I just knew about him becuase he got famous… and I didn't only say it when he died, I've always loved Steve Irwin, he was a big childhood hero of mine, just because you didnt hear me parading around about it doesn't mean I never said it.
AND I wasnt saying that only because he died doing what he loved. I said he was an amazing man becuase he WAS.
