On the 4th day...

Dogs amaze me. We've only had 4 mornings to get into a routine and Yuna and Akima are already stuck in their ways.

They know they have to sit before we cross the street. They know how to get home from the park. They know not to cross outside the territory I've set for them at the park. They know what 'inside' means.

We're still working on not chasing the squirrels... my shoulders sure would benefit from it! :-)

I'm DEAD tired from getting up early and walking the pups, but they are SO worth it.

Sorry...

I want to apologize to my Anonymous readers. Due to some fuck-heads who choose leave their shit in my comments area, I'm locking the place down.

If you want to comment you'll either have to develop a blogger profile or just make a comment in my shoutbox. Thanks for understanding!!

HOLY CRAP!

5:30AM is WAY too early to be walking in a MPLS park... Besides, the raccoons hadn't even gone to bed yet...

"If I catch you, you're mine."

A man was ordered by his doctor to lose 75 lbs. due to very serious health risks. As he wondered how in the heck he would ever do it, he ran across an ad in the newspaper for a GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM. "Guaranteed. Yeah right!" he thought to himself. But desperate, he calls them up and subscribes to the 3-day/10 pound weight loss program.

The next day there's a knock at his door, and when he answers, there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19-year-old young lady dressed in nothing but air and some Nike running shoes with a sign around her neck. She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me!" Without a second thought he takes off after her. A few miles later, huffing and puffing, he finally catches her and has his way with her. After they are through and she leaves, he thinks to himself, "I like the way this company does business!" The same girl shows up for the next two days and the same thing happens. On the fourth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised. He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program.

The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life, wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me, you can have me." He's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and it takes him a while to catch her, but when he does, it is worth every cramp and wheeze. For the next four days, the same routine happens. Much to his delight, on the fifth day, he weighs himself and found he has lost another 20 lbs, as promised. He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day 50 pound program.

"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most rigorous program."

"Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years!"

The next day there's a knock at the door and when he opens it he finds a muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, "If I catch you, you're mine."

Laughing and Playing

What a BEAUTIFUL day to walk into work. The temperature was just right.

It was still dark when I parked the car, but when I crossed the street and entered Loring Park: dawn began to break...

The air was cool and still. Various sounds floated through the air as I walked around the pond.

The geese were lounging around and telling jokes. It must have been a funny one, because all of them burst into laughter at the same time... The only thing that crossed my mind was "AFLAC!" I chuckled quietly to myself and continued around the pond.

I came across the bunnies and sparrows playing a game similar to hide and go seek... The bunnies would scurry to new places to hide and the sparrows would fly right to them as if they were peeking while counting to ten. I imagined the sound of kids giggling and laughing outloud while running around the park...

A happy-go-lucky beagle was trotting through the park with his master taking in all the scents and sounds. Tail a-wagging, he greeted me panting and happy as ever. We connected for that moment; sharing the joy of each other's presence. Then it was time to go and continue on my way to work.

It was as if the wildlife was celebrating the break from the cold and I feel very lucky to have shared in that celebration.

No Theme...

So, I was reading all of my blog friends sites today and realized that I'm the lame duck of the bunch. Everyone has their style/theme for their site and very few seem to sway from it.

Dunner keeps us informed on the political front; Mighty shares the good pop-culture stuff; Wanda's got a hold on the drag queen scene; Aaron word-smith's like a muthah; Pisser cracks-me-the-fuck-up; Go Fug Yourself is pure enjoyment; and many, MANY more could be mentioned...

What's my purpose for doing this? I have NO idea... It let's me get the shit out of my head, but sometimes it's just so fucking boring. I have voice in my head, but they all have the personalities of computer geeks. Hmmm... I need to find a focus.

Aiight... I saw this on the Blogger site: What 3 things would you like me to post pictures of? Anything you'd like to see about me, my life, my home, etc... Keep it clean tho. No 'adult' pics will be posted.

Cheers!

Funnies!!

Too much beer #1

Too much beer #2

Happy Monday!

¡Hola Perras!

ANYWAY, How's everyone doing this CRISP Monday morning? I actually had a VERY productive weekend. Got the kitchen all set-up and cleaned, did a TON of laundry, and leveled up my Final Fantasy XI character (his name is Mykal and he's HOT!!) a BUNCH of levels (from 17 to 25!). I hope to get the rest of the house set-up sometime this week because the pups are coming home on Friday!!

WOO HOO!!

CM had a wedding to go to Saturday and Sunday, so I had plenty of time to get stuff done. I also hung out with him and some of his law friends on Friday night. We danced and danced and danced. It was a BLAST!

Also, today is CM's first day at work downtown!! It'll be interesting to see what his schedule turns out to be. Would be nice to be able to take some lunches together!

Ok... Back to the grind...
