Here is something my girlfriend Anne wrote in honor of Anybodies' passing today... I think she said it well.
Anybodies
Small
Soft with Golden Light
Sweet Breath of Morning
Love unconditional and pure
Back and forth wagging tail with joyful purpose
Greeting all with enthusiasm and cheerfulness
Warmth blankets the family
She loves
Now
Gone before us
The quiet envelops the house
Yet in the darkest corner
Feel still the golden light of her being
remaining ever constant
never far though she walks a higher path
a reminder of how lucky to be chosen
by such a creature
as a companion in life.
Today, my beloved Golden Retriever Anybodies, died in my arms at around 9:30 AM. She did not suffer. I will miss her more than I can express. I loved her dearly.
My apologies folks... when it rains it pours. I just found out today that my dog may have cancer... I have had her for ten years and I may have to put her down on Wednesday... The next couple of days are going to be hell for me. Please bear with me right now as I am in a lot of pain.
So, I just wanted to mention that yesterday, June 19th was the 50th anniversary of the murder (And that's what it is folks... don't believe them when they use nice words to describe the taking of a human life... it's murder... period.) of two American citizens by witchhunting right-wingers. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, you will not be forgotten by those of us who see the same kind of madmen in power now, as those who so unjustly took your lives back then.
I have decided to create my own tenets of wisdom, some of them will now follow:
1.) It is unwise to let one’s tendency for flatulence to be known amongst one’s enemies.
2.) The day begins with a ray of light and ends with a wisp of darkness… this means nothing to you on a personal level, but is very pretty.
3.) When darkness falls it is unwise to be in the forest alone wearing nothing but meat.
4.) If you meet someone and have an instant burning desire for them this is likely lust. If you meet someone and develop a burning desire for them this is likely love. If you meet someone and afterwards develop a burning sensation, this is likely gonorrhea.
5.) The answer is not blowing in the wind, it is in fact at the Omaha Public Library.
6.) Those who are wise and incontinent are rarely heeded.
7.) To err is human, to err with the girl of your choice is $150 cash, $250 for kinky stuff.
8.) He who says he knows, does not. He who says he does not know, does. He who says nothing, knows something. He who knows nothing is usually connected to politics.
9.) It behooves a man who loves a woman to refrain from porking her relatives.
10.) If a man shall have the world, he must lose his soul. If a man shall have his soul, he must lose the world. If a man shall have his soul, and also has $14.50 and a coupon, he may have a deep-dish pizza with extra cheese.
11.) It is unwise to date a woman whose ex is named Thor.
12.) To make love is divine… to fuck like rabbits is more fun.
13.) It is forbidden to urinate on the lawn of the authorities while yelling “what’re you gonna do about it pigs?” This I have learned…
14.) When fighting a midget, always cheat.
15.) The bear is not more afraid of you than you are of it…
Sorry to all of you who have checked this for an update lately and found that there was none. I have been moving, and as you are no doubt aware, this is one of the most time consuming and painful processes anyone can endure.
It is for that reason alone that I have not really had any motivation with regards to writing.
I want to write, but there has been no inspiration, I just don’t feel very funny right now. I have been playing a great deal of guitar late at night, and I have been writing a few songs, but there has been no time on front of the computer…. I suppose it’s a vacation of sorts.
More than likely it is a result of my ADD….
Sometimes, you just have to sit around, pretend that you live in a trailer and that you’re a fat chick named Debbie. Or is it just me?
Believe it or not...
The words to the Island nation of Haiti's national anthem actually include "gonna build a raft out of inner-tubes and get the hell out of here..."
