Mitch Hedberg died

So i'm incredibly bummed out about this. I'm not even sure why it bothers me so much. I've never been one to become distraught over things, especially celebrity things. Maybe it is that he was only 33 or maybe it's that he wasn't a christian. maybe its because i've loved his comedy for years, before he put out his first album, before he even had a Comedy Central Presents special. I remember seeing him on some stand up show and thinking "this guy is the funniest comedian i've ever seen;" and it takes alot for me to be truly impressed with a stand up. He had so much left to do, there was so much simple genius in his words.
In a society that thinks "Blue Color Comedy Tour," or vulgar unoriginal sex-obsessed humor his the way to go he could have taken over. He was just starting to be noticed. Now we will just never know, and that is what i hate.
