Poor little chap will be even less happy once you've had him snipped.  :'(

Well, I just found out an interesting tibit about Vinnie. Apparently as a three year old, he severely injured one of his trainers and was put through an auction to be sold for meat. Someone bought him and he went through four more trainers before coming to me. My instructor at the time was the one who had me looking at this horse, knowing that he was potentially dangerous. In the words of his old owner, "It is a miracle that I am still alive and walking." I'm not sure what to say to that.

Halo is fun. Of course, I just fly around in the planes.  :D

I love 3-D shooters, and yet have never played Halo. Probably cause I've never owned an xbox. Always preferred the computer games, somehow

I have insomnia again. I'm really wired for some reason. Could be the fight I had with my mother earlier today right before seeing the family next weekend, the Jonny Lang/Buddy Guy concert I went to tonight (which was awesome) or neither. Doesn't help that work just called me at 2 am to deal with something. Wife is away at a conference and will feel guilty (unnecessarily, but she can't help it) that she wasn't here to help calm me down. Drinking sage tea and trying to soothe my mind.

Hope you were able to get to sleep last night, Firebird.  Insomnia sucks!  I hate that sensation of counting down the hours of sleep you will get if you go to sleep right now.  "If I go to sleep right now, I'll still get 6 hours of sleep.  That's not bad.  I can function on 6 hours.......If I go to sleep right now, I will get 5 hours of sleep.  It will suck, but I can manage on 5 hours.....If I go to sleep right now, I will get 4 hours of sleep.  I'm going to need a lot of cofffee, but I guess I can do that...."

Buddy - I can't believe that your instructor had you look at a horse that s/he knew was dangerous.  That's outrageous!  >:(

As for me - Pirate party yesterday was a rousing success.  Captain Jack was great with the kids, and I think everyone had a nice time.  Also, I learned a new joke.

Joke Teller: What is a pirate's favorite letter?
You, as the listener:  You will, of course, say "Arrrrrrrrr" because that's what pirates say. 
Joke Teller: Aye, Arrrrr is good, but my first love be the C!   ;D

It's too hot.  I am not accustomed to this. >:(
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

I know the feeling, it's prettymuch sweltering out there. I went out shopping today for a bit and nearly choked on the stale air!

On the plus side, I now have a couple errands run, and I can stay near the air conditioner and work.

Yeah.... really, REALLY tough guy, all right. Terrified of his 5'1" 115 pound grandma.

And rightfully so. She could knock him into next week.  ;D
