80’s flashback

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

So I went to Wal*Mart to pick up a few things and Monkey said he wanted to look at the CDs. I obliged of course because I love music too. Well, I ended up buying two CDs. I have not bought a CD in forever. The cool part, Monkey loves him some 80’s hair band music and of course….Michael Jackson.

I purchased the 25th anniversary CD of the Thriller album and it came with a DVD. We are currently watching the Thriller video short. Yup, pretty sweet!! Monkey is totally rockin’ out right now :) I also purchased Poison’s greatest hits for him. Yeah, I know. What can I say, he has taste? I think it is pretty cool that he enjoys the music that I listened to at his age.

And now this……

You know you love it!

I will never understand

Why people abuse animals! I don’t even know why I watch the show. It is on Animal Planet and it makes me want to murder the people (not that I ever would because then I would be no better than they are) that inflict the harm they do on these poor animals. It is just sick! It makes me want to save every single animal on the show.

All I can say is, spay and neuter you pets. There are just too many and people keep breeding them and they inevitably end up with idiots. Stop it! Seriously, go to the shelter and rescue a poor animal! Animals are like having children, they are expensive, and they will take a lot of your time. If you don’t want a child or something like it, don’t get an animal and neglect it!! UGH!! I am so angry right now I could just scream or cry. Heck, I’ll probably do both by the time the show is over.

I just saw the little process that the dogs go through to see if they are adoptable and this one dog, I seriously cannot write what happened to land him at the SPCA because I will cry, but he has food aggression issues. Okay, the dog is fucking emaciated! I think if I was starving and someone tried to take my food, I would be a little aggressive too. Oh and his injuries didn’t look completely healed. It just pisses me off even more because who knows if they will put him down now because someone did this to him. I hope they do some sort of doggie therapy and help him out with his aggression. Of course, just allowing him some more time to realize that he will have food on a regular basis might cure him of that. Nope, they are going to euthanize him. I hope the owner goes to fucking jail!! Ruining an animal’s chance for a happy life is just as bad as ruining a child’s chance at a happy life!

Sweet boys gave me a flower!

Monkey and his friend went to the store to get some snacks and they came back and gave me a tulip that they found on the sidewalk :) It is quite nice and it smells good too! I just thought it was super sweet of them to bring me back a flower.

Carry on.

A few things I learned this week

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

It has been a pretty interesting week to say the least. I’m not sure where to begin so I’ll just start with a few things that I am taking away from my ’special’ week.

1. It is easy to judge and point fingers when you are clueless about that which you are passing judgment upon

2. It comes easy for some to be a raging bitch for no apparent reason and on random days

3. There are several mentally ill people walking around undiagnosed (I think I may know a few)

4. Walking away is easier when you have someone to walk with

5. Sadly, there are people that will never be satisfied with anything and will find the smallest thing to bitch about and be upset about

6. I stole this from Ericka, but the best things in life are not things. I had actually figured it out a long time ago, but it was nice to hear again

7. Raising a child is the hardest job anyone will ever have. Go easy on a parent who may be having a hard time or not doing it the way you think is ‘best.’ Have faith that they are doing their best

8. Don’t be afraid to use your support system (and I don’t mean a bra)

9. Buy Brewer tickets way in advance if you wanna go to a ‘cool’ game with your peeps :(

I think those are the main points that I have taken away from this week. I’m sure I could think of a 100 more, but you would get bored and I wouldn’t get done any of the 700 tasks I have to get done today.

Peace, yo.
