There's something new to be aware of, maybe even look forward to for New Years. Keep an eye out for it. I'm bringing my scattered life to one place, finally. I don't have time to manage my 4 journals, so it's time I brought them all to one place once and for all.

Let the preps begin...

Peace.

I'm listening to Road to Revolution, the new LP CD I preordered a while ago. I'll be honest, I don't need a 4th live version of One Step Closer, if anything I got it because it's got the best cover art I've ever seen. And of course I have absolutely no (decent) live music from their latest album, Minutes to Midnight. Live in Texas was a phenomenal ( Read more... )

I guess it's good to set aside a day in the typical busy life of an American to recognize what you're thankful for. Unfortunately, due to my workload, I actually am not exactly taking a holiday today. I have 4 classes to study for, and one rat to still train.

It's all very time-encompassing to the point that the only purpose of this day is to not ( Read more... )

I found the issues with my dog really frustrating.

I can see where positive reinforcement is useful in constructing good behaviors, but sometimes I wonder if it's more straight forward to simply punish. I lost all control over my dog earlier and had to crate her because I was at a total loss on what to do at that point, which has never happened ( Read more... )

I'll keep this short, because I'm in the middle of training. But I mentioned briefly in my last post I got a new dog, and now I'm going to actually talk about her.

My first impressions of her were really good. She was very energetic, she needed work but it didn't seem like anything I couldn't handle. She's one year old, so she's still very puppy- ( Read more... )

I do all  my best writing at 2am. Now where have I heard that before?

I got my dog. Not a husky, but a german shepherd, my other favorite dog. Not disappointed, although she's one and a bit of a handful. I'm trying now to balance my already unbalanced life around her. I recognize that was my mistake, thinking bringing a dog into my life would make ( Read more... )

First off, I will say this. I think that what adoption agencies do is great, they give temporary homes to animals who would otherwise, because of our pathetic, mundane, and outdated systems, be put down. That being said, the people themselves tend to be idiots and generalizers with one major flaw: they use fear.

I guess I'll start from the end and ( Read more... )

I know, a post about cars. I think it was inevitable.

I'm pretty excited about what I've been hearing and partly seeing with the 2010 Mustang. It's the reason I'm actually going to the LA Car Show in mid-November to see its official unveiling. Believe me, I will be packing a camera. Maybe even getting a new dSLR, but that's another story.

My house is an absolute zoo lately. With this year's addition of a new cat, a rat, and a bird, we suddenly have a lot going on like we've never had before.

It's kind of good though, actually. More animals seems to get the family really buzzing, particularly Jake and Panama.

Panama is the newest addition to our family. He's a Lilac-crowned Amazon ( Read more... )
