sharing

For the past few weeks I've been pouring all of my creative juices into writing homework assignments. But there is always something to write about my boys. Since I've never had to boy cats in my home before, they are constantly entertaining me. And of course annoying me. Right now they are running all over the apartment, chasing each other. Marley (the orange one) is not aggressive with Ziggy (the gray, younger one). In fact, Marley doesn't play with toys as much now, because Ziggy will jump on him and take the toy away. Being that they are cats, can't exactly teach them the meaning of sharing. Simply can't reason with cats. And I guess since Marley has decided to be the beta-male, can't help him much anyway. Funny how wild things work.

sounding old

I was walking home from the dentist the other night. It was a bit chilly so I was walking at a good clip. I think I had my iPod playing tunes. Up ahead I watched this poor girl take a real nose dive into the sidewalk, she let out fairly loud yelp too. Her cell phone crashed and went into 3 pieces. I was already walking towards her, so I bent down, picked up the cell phone parts and asked her if she was OK. She was rubbing her shin and knee but her stocking wasn't ripped. We assumed it would just be a be a big bruise. Then out of no where I said, "That's what you get for walking and talking on the phone". I really meant it to be funny but for some crazy reason my tone was very motherly like. Pretty sad. Cause I walk most of the time while chatting on the phone. Maybe now I'll reconsider it.

superbowl

We all agreed that the commercials during the Superbowl all had animal violence as a theme. No wonder PETA was banned from showing their commercials.

gold rush

Currently I'm reading the book "Heyday" by Kurt Andersen. Actually I'm on the last 60 pages of the 620 page book. It is set in 1848 with 4 friends eventually going out to California to build a small community and find gold. Well, it got me thinking about gold. The real worth of gold is not much because it fails to produce anything. Imagine if people had left gold where it was and never pulled it out of the earth. Obviously gold was not first discovered in the California... it had to be worth something for everyone to get there as fast as possible to mine for it. When it was discovered how was it determined that it had a worth. Funny how that works in perspective.
