Description
You have no idea how much his death depressed me. I've watch Animal Planet for years, and he's always been there, y'know? He was iconic, a hero. I loved the guy. Very few hosts can get away with being hyper and child-like, but he pulled it off. I actually cried a little this morning, it wasn't supposed to be this way. I fucking love crocodiles and wanted to meet him, but now it's too late.So, I made a terrible tribute to him in the form of a goddamned, retarded failure doodle. He deserved better than this.

it is!
he acted as a child, and the picture was somewhat child-ish.
and the joy on his face shows what he must have felt day to day doing what he loved.
i think its a great tribute!

Thank you.
You know what? I haven't seen Fight Club until recently, and I never got the quote in your signature until now.

Aw. I used to watch his show all the time. And even though I didnt recently, I still felt the hit when he died.
I remember I had bought a "stretch armstrong" type toy, but it was in his likeness. I'll have to look it up, it was an amazing toy, and I think it would make a great memorial tribute to him to recontinue the production of that doll, if they have discontinued it that is. It was like 3 or four years ago.
I found it on Ebay:

Man, I remember playing with it so much for the while until I some how lost it. Or it might have gotten punctured, and the gel started to leak. Not sure.
But it was great, it stetched and took quite a beating. "Croikey!" I would say, beating his head with a crocodile beanie-baby, "We got a live one!"
It became the perfect accesory to any beanie-baby collection. I used to make him and Mario do battle too
I wonder if I still have it around somewhere... Its quite the charming toy.

Wow, that's awesome. I never had a toy of him.
When I was younger, I mainly only watched cartoons and animal shows. Cartoon characters rarely die, except Dinobot..., so my childhood heros have remained intact. That's probably why it upset me so much...I just sort of assumed he was immortal, like Ash Ketchum.
You know what else bothers me?
There's this guy I've known for years. He's great. Funny, draws, ect...today I found out he's going to be a father in a month, and that he now spends all his time working and trying to catch up on credits to help his pregnant girlfriend. Eh...and so it goes.

Yes, I agree with your statement. This is the only flaw in non-fiction heros. And Spike Speigal.
And to the next paragraph, all I have to say is: HA! I cant help but laugh at that situation. Its something I can never relate with, because I have sensibility. Thousands, and I mean THOUSANDS, of people in the past have made the same stupid mistake. You'd think that eventually they'd stop fucking up. No one seems to ever learn from others mistakes.
You could see a guy crying over his best life-long friends casket. He died from being piss-drunk and getting into a car wreck, also killing a family of four. And you'll find that the same guy weeping over the deceased friend, will probably end up getting shit-faced in 6 years, and dying in an auto accident.

Yeah. I don't know though. It scares me that all the people I have hung out with, either recently or from way back when, have all become total losers. Drugs, pregnancies, rape, dropping out of school....it seems I'm really the only one left who hasn't sunk yet, and it feels as if I'll be next.
I suppose I gained sensibility from seeing them make the dumb mistakes, but at the same time, it makes me hate everyone who has a perfect life. I can't stand honors students. Every last one I have met has parents who care about them completely, are rich, popular, and never had any major tradgedies in their life. Then, I see my friends, who have dealt with things most adults coundn't handle, and life doesn't seem fair. Eh, I'm becoming an escapist.

Life never really was meant to be fair. I mean, there are some people who are pretty much born to die. Like infant deaths, or 4 year olds getting murdered. And then theres people who are born to live long, crappy, lives.
Born a good kid, but lives with a crack whore mother, and an abusive father. Even though he is normal in all ways, kids make fun of him in school. He get good grades, but has no friends or family who care. He makes it through high school, but everyone of his few friends commit suicide, or dies some other tragic way. Later in life, never being able to get a girl friend, even though there is nothing wrong with him. Maybe only slightly shy. Gets laid off from a job he's work at for 15 years because they are going bankrupt. None of his co-wokers liked him anyway, even though he was friendly and joking. The job was hard, and he had to pick up the slack of all the lazy workers, and worked multiple hours overtime each day, but got paid poorly. After being laid off, he suffers a heart attack 4 days later. Nearly dies, but lives through the pain. He has no one to wait for him in the emergency room. No real friends. The only pet he owned (dog) was euthanised 8 weeks later, because it became rabid and bit an 8 year old child. He only had the dog for 10 weeks. He suffers charges in court, gets sued for money he couldnt even pay off with a loan. Now he's paying the rent, food, and the lawsuit off of unemployment checks. Dies at the age of 48 of a heart failure.
Wow, that was tragic. I just made that up though. But its sad because there are actually people like that. Whats the moral here? Life sucks? Good enough.

My biggest fear is to end up like my father. His life isn't THAT bad, but kind of close. I blame the government, seriously. Anyone who joins the army goes nuts. I don't want to end up in a dead-end job like him that pays less than 30,000, where all my co-workers are twenty-year-olds with no real experience and my company is constantly being down-sized. I want to find someone that likes me for who I am and doesn't use me for a green card. I don't want jail time, diabetes, cancer, alcohol abuse, or a heart attack, which is the five main fates of my family.
Eh, school just brings me down. A lot. I'm not really made fun of at school, but there aren't too many people who hang out with me. Some of it is that I'm a bit picky. The anime club kids sometimes talk to me, but...I just can't stand them. They suck, hard. I get good grades, but it seems entirely pointless now. You know what? No one has ever really motivated me in that department until recently. My dad never cared about my report card until my class rank was in the top twenty.
Hmm...I feel left out from "normal" teenager things. It's my fault though. I could learn to drive, but I won't. I never dated anyone. I haven't tipped a cow, and we live in Wisconsin. I've spent way too much time at hospitals in the last two years. Everyone gets to spend their time doing what they want to do, but much of mine is dedicated to helping my sick grandma. I don't have a job, yet I'm forced to babysit constantly for no pay.
The stupid thing is though, this depressed feeling of mine will go away in a week or so. I hate medication side-affects. Normally, I'm not a very bitchy or whiny person. Hell, I'm not emotional enough usually.

Tis a damn shame... I dont know what else to say right now. Sorry, try again.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eh, sorry. I shouldn't of dumped that on you, but I figured you'd take me more seriously. As /someone/ I know just insults me whenever I honestly speak my mind... >:[
So, you're up late. I have an excuse though, I just woke up. :B
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh no, I take you seriously. Its just that I didnt really feel like I had anything worthwile to add to the conversation. I pretty much either agree with what you've said, or can not relate to what youve said at all. Here are examples.
Yeah, I dont get out much. I dont much like the otaku kids. I dont want a dead-end job. I've never been to the hospital, so I cant relate. I dont have to take care of anyone but myself really. I also have no job or driving experience, so theres nothing I can add there. But I have a pretty stable family. So I can never relate to others when they talk about being core-forced, or split parents, and the like. Its just something I can not relate to. So I dont have much to say in that department either. Except basically "that sucks". I've been in a relationship, so I dont really feel the same way. But I can relate still. The only thing I learned from that in the end, is that I dont want to get into another relationship... I dont like them. I've had a pretty boring/easy life so far.
I only responded so simply, because I basically had nothing to add to the topic at hand. And just above, I merely retorted to your every comment. Eh. I think I made my point.
I'm up right now because I shouldnt be actually... Well, thats not why I'm up. I merely shouldnt be. So on that note, I should get to hittn' the ol' bed-stack.

Alright. Yeah, I know what you mean. There's this girl I talk to once in a while, who's had to deal with rape, police brutality, court dates, being put in a house for a while...I have no idea what to say to her when she mentions these things. After all, I have no experience with being stabbed in the hand with a screwdriver. So yeah, haha, I should be thankful my life hasn't been that bad.
Relationships...eh. I really don't know what to think. I just feel as if I fail at being human sometimes, haha. Just an AI program. Hmm...the last time I liked a guy was in middle school up until I was a freshman. One day I just felt nothing, and it's sort of been that way ever since.

Aww. Some times I just wish stuff would happen. Good, bad, I dont care. ANYTHING is better than nothing. Like maybe one day my parents get murdered. Though I would greatly NOT like for that to happen, it would definately make life more interesting, you know? Or to just one day get kidnapped, and from then on, my entire life purpose is to find out where the hell I am, and escape home or to civilisation. Just something. Something exciting, and not boring.
Teenage drama bores me, if not angers me, though. I just wish there was more to it sometimes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, I think we're beyond teenage drama. It seems I went from being a little kid to an adult, when it comes to mentality, not interests. I suppose being raised by older people aged me as well.
The exciting issue...yeah. I've always had a desire to run off. Even if my entire experience was horrible, it'd still be better than rotting away at home. I don't want to teach Korean kids. Fuck my mom.

Hahahaha. Yes. I
'm really thristy. I ought to get a drink. But thats not important. Because it just contributes to my sedative life style. Woo hoo. Weekend. I dont think I'm going to do much. I've got papers to write, and books to study. On top of that, I havent finished any of my personal projects. Ugh.

Oh? My mom was on the phone for quite a while. I didnt know you called. Eh besides, I dont want to accept phone calls right now. I just got out of gym class. I feel like crap. I was just going to check messages and then go to bed.
