Let this be the beginning

let this be the beginning for postings to occur about weekly from now on. lucky you.

part the first-
Douglas Calhoun, you post on court's blog, you post on julia's blog. you ignore me. i could be real harsh right here, but i'll restrain myself. im just going to say, if you continue to slight me i may be hurt.
on a similar note, wyatt, get your ass reading this too. and comment when you see fit. you probably have no way of knowing to check this, but im holding you accountable no less.

part the dos.
i was watching PBS tonight and i saw something that i thought was rather cruel. maybe im just a bit hypersensitive for some reason, i dont know. there was a Nova documentary on life, intelligent life, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. somehow the cuttlefish was presented as an example of intelligent life and using camoflauge as a means of survival. so this asshole marine bioligist goes and puts a checker board in the aquarium with a cuttlefish. he drops it in and i swear to god the cuttlefish gets confused. he flutters around looking at the board from different angles and you can see him thinking "how the fuck am i supposed to work with this?" It really upset me. active camoflauge is their primary means of defense in the wild. and here is this jerk going Woo Hoo, lookey there, cuttlethingy cant make a repeating pattern of small black and white squares. Meanwhile the only thing the cuttle fish is capable of thinking is "Fuck! If I Dont Look Exactly Like What I'm Standing Next To, I'm Food." the only people i hate more than those high school sophomores that say "i wanna be a marine biologist when i grow up" are the people that actually follow through and do it. screw them and their life of fulfilled dreams.

On a lighter note of animal cruelty, somebody has taken the time to create robot jockeys to ride camels. im tempted to get ten or fifteen thousand and arm them with a saber and a colt .45 to create the first ever robot cavalry division. I could surely rout the Prussians with such a force.

you have a lot of rage. i'm not sure it's healthy. however, most of the time it's appropriately directed, more or less. in fact, the following things are worth more rage:
-bill o'reilly
-parking tickets
-that nub on the top of minnesota
-incubus
-mail-in rebates

that cuttlefish is the cutest thing I have ever seen in fish form, and I am a czar of all aquatic lifeforms. I would lose the robot jockey picture though, or put a warning like: "INCOMING LAMENESS" because my mental image of what you described was about 100x cooler than the reality, maybe just a camel picture, or a pack of smokes with a little camel symbol on it, and a lighter... I need to go to the store.

I used to want to be a marine biologist, but then I took some classes and realized the whole point of it is to dissect, interrogate and control everything that I just wanted to chase around and play with. I just want to be Steve Zissou, I think lobsters and crabs are cute like kittens are cute

but who cares, I need a shot of botox in my nipples, but am I ever gonna realize the dream of permanent, mannequin-like perkiness? no.

Oh poo,
I only post on thier blogs because they refuse to recognize my existance. If you refused to answer my emails or make any acknowledgement of my attempts to communicate with you, I would probably write on your blog too.
So there,
Doug

well, court
you may think my camel picture was lame, but it made the daily show tonight. so eat me.
and yes. cuttlefish are very cute. im not sure if you read through the whole wiki entry, but my favorite part was the following:

"Domestic cuttlefish are very reminiscent of domestic cats, even exhibiting cat-like habits such as resting, pouncing on moving prey, begging owners for food, and even begging for more food than they need or is healthy for them...But unlike cats, cuttlefish will try to eat other cuttlefish."

when im done with my robot cavalry, my next venture will be to breed cats with more cuttlefish characteristics. My cats will feature swift color changing abilites and will eat each other if given the opportunity. is cuttlecat too obvious a name?

All my cat maggie eats is kitty kibble and bugs. i swatted a fly off of the wall today and she pounced on it before i had a chance to pick it up. i thought she was just going to play with it. then she ate it. it was big too. i heard it crunch in her mouth.
