Toygers: The Designer Cats!

So while on facebook I came across a status post by Alexis (a friend of mine) that she wanted a... Toyger. . Me being unsure of what a Toyger was I googled, it like anyother self-respecting person would, and it came up with Toygers.org. It is a specially mixed breed of a cat that resembles a "toy tiger", which is totally different from a real tiger of course. But can you say bad-A!!!! Who wouldn't want a mini tiger to protect the homestead!!

I work the D!

So I just got off work! It was boring and slow which is different from how it usually is. Usually by the end of my shift I am pissed, not by the constant flow of rude old people customers, but by my coworkers. Some days I'm sure they get together before work and come up with a new way to annoy me. I've actually had a coworker ask me if I was on drugs because I apparently have crazy mood swings when I'm working. Of course the answer was "No, I'm not on drugs.", however the damage was done. He kept looking at me like I was a freak the whole night. But thats okay... I know I am making it sound like I hate work, but I really don't on most days. Usually I have a lot of fun. Actually that is an understatement. Most of the time I am having a blast. Because once it turns 8:30 p.m. the customers are reduced to a few hungery loners and everybody begins to have a good time. The managers that work the night shifts are all pretty laid back. They don't care if you eat for free or talk on your phone as long at when the clocks hits 11:00 your done with your work.

Now to explain the pictures... The first is a hushpuppy ring that is fashioned with a very flattering French fry as the ring base. And the second shows my 100% original Freddie Krueger gloves. I'm thinking of selling them on eBay, but I'm not sure of what the starting price should be, I was thinking around $2,000.

Okay so in case you didn't know Trussville has about 5 miles of legit mountain biking trials in the Sports Complex!! And with me trying to feel my free time from school and work with something active, I might have become a visitor of these trials. (This is a nice time to thank my parents for getting me a hatchback car because it becomes very handy when moving my bike) Anyway well pretty much every time I go, I end up with a new injury. (for a recap I have chain marks that go up my right ankle, back of the calf strach from the chainset, rolled right ankle from a fall and blah blah blah...) Well guess who gets to add another one to that list? Yeah it's that Lena girl. Imagine me going down a rocky hill coming to an opening in the trail where the road is present. I pull on my brakes and I find that they worked a little too well, because I ended up coming to a complete stop while flipping over my bike. My injuries include a trail of scratches on the back of my arm and forearm, rock impalements down my leg, a very large bruise on my left thigh in the shape of a bike stem and I'll spare you the details on where the top tube of the bike ended up. I know right I must suck at mountain biking and your right I do. But I now have a little goal to achieve. I want to compete in a mountain biking race! So in case you didn't know Alabama has an impressive mountain biking following... apparently. Every year a group called BUMP (Birmingham Urban Mountain Pedalers) holds two races- The Bump N'Grind and the Dead Dog Trail! The Bump N'Grind is located in the Oak Mountain State park and it was this last weekend. But the Dead Dog Trail Race is usually at the end of the year and its trail is the Trussville trail! Its like fate, right???! So there it is, my new goal is to compete in the Women's Beginner race bracket! BAM! I now have another goal to add to my list!

"What stops you here stops your entire life."

Okay so I'm reading a new book (I know about time right!). But the book is Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. Right now I bet you are thinking that you have never heard of him before... BUT if you know me then you know that I love the book and movie Fight Club.

"In Tyler Durden we trust."

Well, Palahniuk is the amazingly talented author of this masterpiece, but I'm off topic. Haunted is about a group of writers who agreed to leave thier current lives to live in a house for three months in the hope that a life changing work of art will be the result of their experience. The characters all write their own personal stories. And when I say story I don't mean a happy little fairy tales with a happy endings but tales of desperation and horror.

The story I just read was bout "how rich, bored people kill time...". It's basically about rich people who were tired of their famous lives and they found refuge by living as homeless people. These aristocrats believed that "nobodies were the new celebrity" and that "insanity is the new sanity". I believe the reason that I love Palahniuk's books are because they always force me to rethink the norm. Anyway, I guess this story will come in handy when I become very famous and rich and need to find an escape from the upper class life that I will undoubtedly live one day.

Okay here it is... my blog.
