maybe i’m not so selfish after all…

“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.” — Oscar Wilde

just furthers my theory that animals are not for our amusement:

From LA Times:

Reporting from Orlando, Fla. - A killer whale fatally attacked an animal trainer at SeaWorld in Florida on Wednesday, jerking her into the pool and thrashing her around underwater as dozens of horrified tourists watched.

The orca had been involved in two previous deaths, including one at the water park in 1999.

Dawn Brancheau, 40, was finishing a session with Tilikum, a 12,000-pound male killer whale, after a midday show at the Orlando theme park.

Witnesses said the killer whale grabbed her by the upper arm, disappeared underwater with her and swam to the other side of the tank, flailing her around. At least two dozen tourists looked on from above the killer whale tank and from an underwater viewing area.

my forearms have seen the light

So this weekend was 3/4 length sleeve weather, right around 65 degrees.  These are the times that I thoroughly enjoy watching everyone get overly excited at the possibility of summer that a mere 65 degrees causes a burst in sandals, short skirts and tank tops. It made me doubt the trusty thermometer in my car.  Today, its 51 and raining… 30s this evening.  Back to winter after a teasing weekend of almost porch weather.    We spent the weekend enjoying it, walked some trails and hit the dog park.  Opened up all of our sliding glass doors and watched as little dog promptly walked right through two of the four screen doors.  Didn’t even bounce off, just went straight through.

I’m looking forward to the warm weather.  Summer is sort of a rebirth.  I think people get a little crazy in the dark, cold winter.  Not to mention, itchy.  Between the dry skin and sweaters… shit.  Don’t even get me started on my splitting lip.

Hopefully summer will grace us sooner than later, but I’m not packing up the winter wear just yet.

take that, interwebs!

ok, so do I have a ton going on?  Um, no.  So why not enjoy myself on the interwebs?  Sure.  I’ve spent so much time thinking about what, how and when to write that I started to hate it.  Now, I’m writing EVERYWHERE.  That’s right folks.  Miss Kellie (Kellie Marie says my mom) is using some time, that was often spent buying ill fitting clothes that can’t be tried on over the internet, POSTING!  Yep, I’m posting here.  I’m tweeting.  I’m blipping.  And I started a new blog that we remain incognito for now (if you are interested, email me or check the website links on my facebook).  Talk about anti-socially being social.  Check out my links in the right sidebar to hunt me down on the interwebs.
