Melbourne Mayhem!

Unless you've been sleeping under a garbage bin, and probably also if you were...if you are in Melbourne there is no doubt you would have heard about yesterday's shootings in the middle of the city.
I was reading a bit in the paper about what happened..it's just terrible.
Apparently it all started when he was abusing a stripper outside Bar 20, where he had been most of the night, obviously looking at naked girls and probably getting countless lap dances. At least now we all know the answer to that old adage "Is that a gun in your pocket...?"

But I'm not trying to make jokes about the situation. It's really horrible. Especially the fact that a couple of blokes trying to do the right thing became innocent victims in it all. I really don't know what I would have done in that situation. I'm pretty gutless, the most daring thing I've done in years is to walk on a "don't walk" signal, or drink milk from the side that says "open other side". Although I did once tell a guy off at a house party when he was smashing plates on the floor and it wasn't his house... and it wasn't a Greek wedding either.

What got me thinking though was the photos of the people they showed on the news. The poor heroic lawyer guy that was killed, they had some old photo of him wearing a bow tie with his wife. They must have been struggling to find photos of the girl, because they kept mentioning and showing snippets of her "website" and photos from it, which was just her myspace page.
It makes you wonder though. I don't think I have really proper or serious photos of myself. If I was gunned down tomorrow, what photos would they show to sum up my character?
Imagine if this photo montage was on the front page, because it's all they could find.


Really. If I wasn't dead, I'd die of embarrassment.
