sweating

the only problem with a blog is that it's on the internet which is also it's whole reason for existence........if we really lived in a free world i might be able to post something a little deeper or at least a little less allusive.........but we don't, so i still tend to keep some things relatively reserved & quite quiet.........you never know who might be reading

anyhow, i would like to say how much i hate those little ribbon magnets proudly fading on every other car amongst other superbly ridiculous & annoyingly arrogant decorative stickers...............i will admit my car has many stickers too, but i prefer to promote cartoons & designs, and occasionally something true not the latest fad........it makes for interesting driving though when i'm in a town (that has a curfew) late at night.......apparently all cops assume i am 16. just like this moron trying to sell me magazines wouldn't believe that i dress goth at times (and fooling real goths too!), just because i was wearing a skirt & a t-shirt that day. he apparently thought that he could discern everything about me just by the way i was dressed (which was actually rather conservative for me that day). he got mad when i said that appearances can be deceiving and that i didn't want to support any of the crap fascist propaganda he was peddling......needless to say, he decided i was evil & selfish........i was preventing him from winning a trip to bermuda....................i refer all to the voltaire quote at the top of the page

and one other thing..........why are they burying the sacrificial remains of the victims of the 911-two-towers-thing in special decay-postponing sealed bags under the new buildings going up.....when they already are saving small fragments in case forensics gets better in the future? haven't we learned yet you don't build over burial grounds? bad juju anyone? why do people bury their dead anyhow? why doesn't everyone cremate? oooooohhhhhh, right........because of THAT.....la-la-la

our neighbor's dog attacked Gimli a few nights ago---when the neighbor & David were both outside too!......big hunting dogs should not be kept all day(s) & night(s) in a small trailer alone and only rarely taken on walks.......i find this a little cruel.....if people have to breed dogs to be insane, then at least give them a home (and land!) where it's safe for them to be insane.....otherwise why torture the animal? i can only provide so much protection for my animals---it's not fool-proof but i try and i'm around my animals if not the whole day then most of it! but god if you're gone for almost 24 hrs a day and sometimes even for a few days altogether ALL THE TIME, why the hell do you own an animal? David goes over and takes the dog on a walk sometimes, or at least out to go to the bathroom.......but hey, uh, this isn't our dog. it saddens me really. and then we're the "lucky" recipients of all that pent-up doggy angst. Gimli's better now (not as bad as the big-wild-cat attack on Tom), but he's still shaken up.

do i have anything pleasant to remark on? wildflowers, trees, all plants are fascinating, animals are hilarious, and night-swimming in non-chemicalized water is beautiful.

but i must stop here, even if it is bat country........
