Taking over the world

So. I'm like... a eco-friendly type person thingy!  I like animals. I know some fun facts about carbon emissions, alternative fuels, renewable energy, recycling, etc.  I do a few things I feel are appropriate to minimize my impact on the ecosystems surrounding me.

Here is a little fellow who could care less! She (I discovered it's a female, indicated by some markings on the torso) was here way before us (humans) and will be here WAY after too.

Jamunda, I shall call he, the madagascar hissing cockroach.  Yep. This is me, making friends with an insect that actually makes a LOUD hissing sound.  At first I thought it was just a name, or folklore... but NO, they're pissed!

Jamunda didn't actually hiss at me, but I did check out the breeding tub and... damn! Freaky stuff!

I gotta say, though. Once the inicial eek factor worn out I was able to appreciate a beautiful animal, full of mystery, careless.  It was profound. 

Happy Saint Patty's, by the way. Pass me another guiness, would ya!?

Missing an angel

"In the arms of your angel, may you find some comfort here," sarah sings on my headphones. I like this song, a lot.
Just drove to trader joe's where I had an arranged meeting to sell the old vacuum clener.  One more item decluttered from the house and that makes me happy.
Cheap, but enough to shop for lunch, milk and cereal.  Good stuff. 
Then I tweeked my knee making a quick turn around a corner at the store.  Bummer.  Feels like the ol' miniscus letting me know that I'm no longer invincible... Be grateful, NOW!!!
And I am.  This time AN angel was watching over to avoiid a bigger disaster... But it doesn't make me miss my angel any less.

my thumbs are tired... this email was written on my supah-kool cell thingy!
