I've taken my time in writing anything about what happened Monday, because it's been such a shock for me.

But I think I'm going to end up doing a Steve Irwin tribute piece. Maybe. I dono.

He's the man who really inspired me to go into herpetology and preservation. I'd always dreamt of interning at his zoo and getting to know him one day.

Guess that'll never happen, though.

He was a great man, and anyone who laughs about his death is seriously ignorant and cold, amongst other things.
