Come on in Heeeeeeere!

Our one cat, Lola, has a penchant for bringing home animals that she has caught. She offers them to us as gifts. She was a stray that we brought in, so it makes sense that she would know how to hunt for prey. She also likes to occasionally eat her gifts to us on the step right outside our front door.

Today was a bit different though. She usually brings home small to medium sized birds, chipmunks, moles, and field mice. Today, she brought with her, a squirrel. The worst part, though, was that it was still alive, barely.

I've dealt with dead animals before with my job. That's never really bothered me. I've dealt with the animals the cat has left with ease as well. But with this one, barely breathing and trying to move, really got to me.

So this was the first time I have ever killed an animal, insects not included. I had to put it out of its misery. It was the only humane thing that I could have done. I had to break its neck with a shovel. Unfortunately, on the first try, I missed the neck, and instead hit it's ribs. That look it had on its still creeps me out. After that though I did manage to hit the mark, and end the poor things pain.

The weird thing for me is that I can justify in my mind killing something if need be. If I become a cop like I hope to, I may have to shoot a rabid animal. I can justify that by saying that it posed a risk to people and animals in the community. I can even justify killing a human (something I hope I never have to do) if required, such as in a case of self defense or protecting someone. But an innocent animal needing to be put out of its misery...that really bothers me.

Jesus Christ with a tote bag, I'm 23. My mortality is creeping up on me faster than I had previously imagined.

23 in an important age for my family. It's the age that both my brothers and my father got married. Nothing like a little pressure to make you feel good, eh?

My girlfriend Lindsey came up here Sunday to see me. While here, we stopped and saw my Grandmother. Later that night, she woke up crying from a nightmare. Apparently in it my Grandma, that she just met 12 hours earlier, was dying and wouldn't tell me. Instead she confided that secret to Lindsey.

We haven't even been going out for two months and she's already having dreams about my family members dying. What the hell?

Although I already knew for about a month now, my oldest brother over the weekend broke the news to the whole family. He and his wife are having a baby this July.


Hell yeah....I'm going to be an uncle.


I'm thinking about being the uncle that teaches the kid jokes that will annoy the crap out of the parents. My uncle did that for us, and I have to pass down that tradition.

Well, this kinda sucks.

My ex yesterday came to my room to drop off some vitamin C lemonade stuff, cause I've been sick recently. It's at this time that she decides to tell me that her doctor just called her, and she apparently has HPV. It's unknown how long she's had it, or who gave it to her. So now I'm freaking out, because I might have it, and may be passing it on to my new girlfriends/bed buddies.

And to make it worse, there's no real test for a guy to determine if he has it or not. The only way I could know is if lesions start to form on my manhood. And if I do have a physical exam or any test done for other diseases, it would show up on either the school bill if I don't charge the insurance. If I do charge the insurance, it's only covered 80/20, so my parents would still see the bill for it.


So, fuck.

Well, according to my ex, along with some other friends here, I've apparently changed. They're saying that I'm doing things that I usually don't do. The main thing they've said is that I have found a new girlfriend-ish relatively so soon. I've known her for almost three weeks, and we as of just last week started to "go out". By that, I mean hang out, cuddle, and some kissing. They're comparing this to last year, where it took nearly three months for this to happen.

So am I really different? I've been taking ADD medicine, starting a couple months ago, so maybe that may be a factor? I'm at 40mg, but that may be too much.

So people that talk to me, have I changed?

Hey, arty people, I need your help. I need a Strong Bad mask. Like, an actual, legitimate lucha mask, painted or sewn or whatever to match Strong Bad's face. I'm planning to go to a con as Strong Bad. I will pay for the materials and labor. Please respond if you can help, or can direct me to someone that can help me. Thanks.

I turned 22 today.


I'm officially old.

I've been thinking about something...

There's an anime convention later this year. I'm looking for a unique and hilarious costume to cosplay as.

So far all I've got are Bert from Sesame Street, Chris Hansen from To Catch a Predator (with chatlog), and Pool's Closed.

Does anyone else have any ideas?

OK, I'm compromising a list of people that really need to shut the hell up. You mind helping me out?

So far I got :

Jack Thompson
Pat Robertson
Ted Stevens
Scientology
Colin Cowherd
Rush Limbaugh
Fred Phelps
The creator of "Mallard Fillmore"


Yeah, that's all I can think of now...

Yesterday was the day I feared, and yet, it was also a day I always wanted to see. Yesterday we had to put down our Dog, Tippy. She was 12, and she wasn't doing good at all. She could barely walk, couldn't hold her, err...digestive movements, and was a shell of her past self. I knew it was her time, but yet I didn't want it to happen.

About 5 hours after that though, our cat that we adopted from the streets, Lola, gave birth to five little kittens. My goal is to try to convince my Dad to keep one of them.

Epic win.

By the way, how do I post videos on my LJ?

You know who's really getting under my skin? Paris Hilton and all her fans. She thinks she's above the law, and can do as she pleases. She was caught driving while intoxicated. She was sentenced to probation. She violated her probation contract, so naturally she should serve her time in jail. If I did that, I would be in the same situation. How is it different? Being rich and famous doesn't mean you can do what you want.

And now I read that her fans are petitioning the Govenator to pardon her. If he does, it will be a slap to the face of the criminal justice system.

You know, maybe the 45 days in jail will do her some good. Maybe she'll realize to at least wear some dang panties if she's going to go to any clubs. Freaking skank.

support my habit.

OK, it's official.

After talking to Dids about this, I think I might actually have to do it.

The next time Jack Thompson gives another one of his BS propaganda "speeches" on National television, I'm going to run up and kick him in his man spot. I'm pretty sure I'd be praised for that.

A great thing happened. No, not that.


Not that either.


My Birthday? Nope, not that....


But it is my Birthday though. 21 years alive. Somehow.

But you know what this means, right?


I'm going to be milking the day for all it's got!

Well, Lent is fast approaching. For me, that means more customers at work. It sucks.

But other than that, there's the Lenten Promises. What are yours? Mine? Well, I believe that if it's bad enough to give up for Lent, it should be good enough to give up forever. That's why Soda on my list of things to quit. Out of everything, that's going to be the hardest. Drugs, alcohol, tobacco, those are easy man. Soda? Damn, I can't live without my Dr. Pepper. Who knew being straight edge would be so hard?

Well, it's tomorrow. I do have an idea though. Since because money;s a bit tight around now, I was thinking of sending a bit smaller to DG. A phonecard, with my Cell # on it. That was we can talk to each other, instead of IMing each other. You think it'll work?

I just realized, my 21st Birthday is a month away. It's not that important to me though. I don't drink alcohol anymore, nor will I ever. Alcoholism runs in my family, but luckily it skipped my parents and brothers. I don't want it to happen to me. Nip it in the bud.

2 hours.

1 degree Fahrenheit.

Frostbite.

Wii.


It's all mine baby! But I'm having trouble with the internet. I updated it, and read the user guide, but now it won't connect. I think I may have to just connect straight to my router. The only problem is that my router doesn't have a USB cord on it. Any advice?
