"Saying Goodbye, Why is it Sad?"

    

     The other day, I had to take my 12 year old cat to get euthanized. She had stopped eating and drinking for over a month and was in a steady decline of health. So the other day my mom made the call that it was her time and Salem was telling us she was ready to go. Enough details about that.

     So this isn't my first rodeo, I've owned nine cats over my lifespan, and had four pass away on me. It doesn't really make it any easier, the death of a loved one is always tough and hard to deal with. I lost a cat about a year and a half ago, and that one hit me really hard, didn't help that I had to work that day and couldn't be in his company during his last hours. I was with Salem when she was taken in, but had to work later that night. The first cat I lost was back in 2004, I was in eighth grade and was on a band field trip/ concert at Disneyland. When I was returned to the school and being picked up by my mom, she broke me the bad news. It was tough, not just because it was my first lost cat but, because she had been in the hospital for a few weeks, again that lost time to treasure those moments you'll regret not cherishing when you had the chance. 

Today at Work...

This is a true story.

All Hallow's Eve, Cyberspace to Asgard

     Back in January I wanted to create my own personal Tron costume for Halloween. But due to my lack of employment, receiving all the necessary components became an issue. In May, due to the release of the movie, Thor, I was bombarded with comments of how much I look like the title character. From there on my plans for October's last day were to dress up as the son of Odin due to its lack of fiscal investment. All I need is a Mjolnir, and I'm rearing to go, because I'm just going to wear a plaid shirt as stated in my previous post, Thor Dilemma. But all this pondering upon Halloween's guise could be to no avail due to my lack of actual plans for the day in question. *le sigh*

    

     On a not-so-totally-but-still-completely unrelated note, I've gone from looking like Jesus in tenth grade to looking like Thor. I guess there's a godly presence about me huh?

     Final note, I am no longer unemployed and am happy to work at the Aztec Hotel. Yay money!

The Day Has Come!

     For my avid followers, I have finally replaced my old EnV3 for the LG Octane. After many months of waiting, and numerous out-of-stock-when-I-go-to-the-store moments I have a new phone! Bully for me! And just in time, for my EnV3 has been putzing out on my by either withholding my texts or never letting me see my outgoing texts along with only working on speaker phone. Either way, I'm quite excited about and all is good!


For shits and giggles:

Thor Dilemma

     This past May I was barraged on Facebook with numerous notions of how I look like Thor, the Norse god of thunder. At first I didn't see the resemblance and thought they just saw we both sported beards, then I looked up the actor, Chris Hemsworth, and saw how he looked unThored and saw how much we looked alike.

Me...

      So for Halloween I am planning to dress like Thor, very cheaply though, by just purchasing the hammer and wearing a button up plaid shirt like he wheres on Earth. But nonetheless, I would be easily recognizable as Thor. But I have a problem, my hair is not long enough yet and I'm not sure it will be by Halloween. So hopefully my hair will decide to grow the extra inch or so in the next few weeks so I have a Halloween costume this year.

Also, I don't think I'll be that well physiqued
 by Halloween either.

Surviving Burgergeddon

     So as many as you know, Burger King had a huge promotion yesterday selling Whoppers at the reduced price of 88¢ due to it being August eighth (8/8). Now if you went to one of these establishments you would have most likely saw a horrific scene of cars backed up from the drive thru for almost a whole block, people swarming the inside of the restaurant, and employees frantically flame broiling burgers in the back. And due to all this chaos, the average order took about a half hour or more to finally get your food. I personally waited an hour, the main reason was because they lost about 50 of the order tickets. They were calling "20" and then orders were being called from "74". I could see that the tickets out of the machine were being neglected and ended up piling in the trash can below it. So anyway, getting a Whopper yesterday was a huge fiasco that wasn't thought about in advanced too well. But I did get my Whopper for only 88¢.


On a side note, Burgergeddon was totally worse than Carmegeddon. 

Why Not? We Already Do It To Sheep

     Cloning, some say its unethical and playing God. Maybe it is, I'm not the person to say, only because I forgot to sign for the credential over the interwebs. Anyway, we've successfully cloned (to my knowledge) sheep, kittens, and puppies. Life's necessities right? Why don't we clone endangered species? I found out the other day that the Northern White Rhinoceros has only seven, SEVEN, left on the planet, all of which are in captivity. That should be species numero uno to clone, or at least top ten. Also, I believe that pretty much any large animal on the planet today is either endangered or in danger of becoming endangered, except for maybe grizzly bears, haven't heard much disastrous news about them. But despite my tangents, I think that cloning endangered species is a good task to put our world's geneticists to. 

Is that your horn, or are you just excited to see me?
