confession

After 27 years of going by the rule of "i before e except after c"... I thought their was spelled thier.

Sick, sick, sick

Lennon will never go to a Ringling Bros. Circus.

Don't support circuses that use animal performers. People performers are good enough. The animals live the most inhumane, unnatural, horrific lives. It is disgusting.

Take a look at this website that shows how the trainers "teach" the animals their tricks. It also shows the conditions they live in, basically a cement building with their ankles chained to something for the entire day unless they are being trained. I feel sick after watching these amazing animals that have to suffer like this and live a life in our world that is nothing like their natural environment.

Here is an article about how one of Ringling Bros. recent circus performances was canceled due to poor ticket sales. Peta & Peta supporters keep up the good work!

If you have a minute watch this video. It is very informative.

I think many people just don't realize this happens because the circus doesn't want you to know this. Open your eyes and become aware, and most of all, DON'T SUPPORT THE CIRCUS!

A few years ago my nieces went to the circus. They went down to get a closer look at the horses and they both came back practically in tears. They said they could see whip marks on them & that they wanted to go home. That should tell you something right there. We had to lie to them to get them to stay. After that I will never be caught at the circus again.

True Blood

Just when Mike and I are talking about cancelling our HBO subscription they go and start a new series that I am obsessed with! Did anyone else watch True Blood last week? It's about vampires & it's oh so good! (And not in a Twilight kind of way, I HATED Twilight).

It's about Vampires that are living publicly in the world now because Japan invented a synthetic blood drink that satifies their urge to drink blood. There is an American Vampire League and they want equal rights for the Vampires.

I would tell you what else happened but that would take too long, so just watch it for yourself. Or check this for a synopsis:

I also can't wait for Big Love to start again. I jsut read online that it might not start until 2009 now because of the Writer's Strike. NO! At least I can watch True Blood until then.

What other TV shows do you guys watch? Since Lennon's birth we have been major TV junkies. Terrible, I know. We love the Hills, any Real World/Road Rules challenge, the Daily Show, Colbert Report, Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, Jon & Kate Plus 8 (Mike HATES this show, I can't quit watching it), Intervention (when I want to be depressed), and all the HBO shows: Big Love, Curb Your Enthusiasm, True Blood. OK, I have now named enough shows that I sound pathetic. Tell me what else we should be wasting our time with.
Note to self: READ MORE.

shallow

Is it shallow of me to say that I don't want to know you if you vote for McCain? Sometimes that's how I feel.

On the flip side if McCain manages to win I will be majorly tempted to move out of the country. That could be exciting!

*actually I don't care if it's shallow. it's my blog and that's how i feel.

murals anyone?

Here are the murals Mike painted on my neice & nephews wall. He is going to start doing it for a side business. If you know anyone interested (the 2 of you who look at this) please let us know! THANKS :)

no, you can't have her
