K....

So, Corey, Julie & Kris have already heard about this. But, because I know most of my friends are not wrestling fans, I will post this to form your own opinion.

I have already blogged about Heath Ledger.

We all know that death is tragic, no matter the circumstances. The person who died has a family, friends...and sometimes spouses, children. We all deal with death more than we want to.

But, it's stuff like this....deeeeep breath.

If you don't know, former professional wrestler, The Ultimate Warrior (who changed his name, legally, to Warrior a few years back) - has an online blog.

And here's what he has to say about the passing of the 28 year old actor:

"In the interest of full disclosure, I must tell you I have watched Brokeback Mountain no less than 45 times and I own the Limited Edition DVD, signed by Willie Nelson a short time after he wrote that queer cowboy song as a tribute to the courage of the producers and actors who broke such incredible creative ground when they made their agenda-less movie. Serious. Until I saw Bendover Brokeback, Braveheart was my favorite movie. But the love scenes of Brokeback sucked me right in and I had no choice but to give myself over to the passion of its wide open range, if you get my drift. Such courage this young man and his colleagues have. Reminds me of the courage of classic movie stars, where during the War they enlisted and flew bomber planes and fought on frontlines, then came back and picked up their lives and careers right where they left off, without anti-American sentiment, whining and complaining, or self-destructive self indulgence. I'm equally inspired.

Apparently, Leather Hedger had sleeping troubles and anxiety and dealt with terrible mood swings. So do soldiers but they don't self-destructively fuck up their lives. In fact, they don't sleep, handle anxiety and mood swings while dealing with whether or not they might at any moment lose their life. And they do this all the while they are dangerously protecting the freedom of others to fuck up their own. By the way, how many 28 (or older or younger) year old soldiers met their death yesterday? It's not easy to find out. None of them made the headlines of any news.

By today's standard, though, I do have to agree that he was a great father. Perhaps even greater then the father of the year, Hulk Hogan. After all, Leather Hedger did what it took to kill himself. His kid is without a father, yes, but the negative influence is now removed and his own child has the chance for a full recovery. Hogan, on the other hand, won't go quite that far. He insists on sticking around to keep further ruining, and profiting off of, the parentally mismanaged lives of his own children.

It is sad and tragic….that we don't demand attention be paid to greater things."

Ahem. *pops neck*

Think what you want. This post isn't about people who support or don't support gay rights. Some people do, some people don't. I love & respect my friends regardless.

But saying that an actor should have died because he was....acting?

What. The. Hell?

As I said to Corey "I guess even bigots can learn how to type."
