my new baby snake

this has been a very busy week-I just purchased a new snake.I will bring him home on saturday,he is a columbian red boa and is 6 months old.I bought all the set up and looking forward to having a new member of the family.I miss my other snakes and sad that they are gone,but we must go on.some people don't understand my attachment to theses wonderful creatures.some people don't think you can bond with a snake.sure I can't teach it to fetch a stick or cuddle with it on the couch.I can't take it on walks(well i can I just be the one doing all the walking.)

but there is a bonding which only other reptile lovers understand.sure its not the same way you bond with a cat or dog or even a ferret.but its something we do and that we love and no one else seem to understand.

I see people all the time trying to prohibit us from owning snakes,and I read where some cities have succeeded.I don't try to tell you to get rid of your pitbulls or rottweilers or other animals that people have.I can guarantee if I can't have my snakes i will be damn if I will let you keep your precious little dogs.so you keep out of my buisness and I will keep out of yours.let me have my snakes and you can have your pitbulls and your rottweilers,bulldogs and wolves.I will look the other way when you let them loose to roam our neighborhoods and promise I won't call the dog pound(since we do have a leash law) and have them impounded and put to sleep. you just let me have my snakes AND WE WILL GET ALONG JUST FINE.

"Ons Heemecht" (Our Motherland)

Wou dUelzecht durech dWisen zéit,
Duerch dFielsen dSauer brëcht.
Wou dRief laanscht dMusel dofteg bléit,
Den Himmel Wäin ons mëcht.
Dat as onst Land, fir dat mir géif,
Heinidden alles won.
Ons Heemechtsland, dat mir sou déif
An onsen Hierzer dron..

O Du do uewen, deem séng Hand
Duurch dWelt dNatioune leet.
Behitt Du dLëtzebuerger Land
Vru friemem Joch a Leed !
Du hues ons all als Kanner schon
de fräie Geescht jo gin.
Looss viru blénken dFräiheetssonn
déi mir sou laang gesin

pambansang awit ng pilipinas

bayang magiliw

perlas ng silanganan

alab ng puso

sa dibdib mo'y buhay



lupang hinirang

duyan ka ng magiting

sa manlulupig

di ka pasisiil



sa dagat at bundok

sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw

may dilag ang tula at awit

sa paglayang minamahal



ang kislap ng watawat mo'y

tagumpay na nagniningning

ang bituin at araw niya'y

kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim



lupa nang araw ng luwalhati't pagsinta

buhay ay langit sa piling mo

aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi

ang mamatay nang dahil sa iyo

A backwards glance

been reflecting the last 12 months.I think about the destructions,the nightmares,the water that flooded our homes,the lost of lives,the looting and the way people can change overnight.their true nature really comes out.you all thinking it is good ,sorry to disappoint you but i have never seen so many inconsiderate people in my live at one time.that includes people who you thought was your friends and family members. the looting was out of this world,it was bad enough that we had to deal with the destruction and trying to salvage what was left if anything at all,then people going through others homes or what was left of their homes and just helping yourself.people came down here with the false pretense of helping us and instead robbing us blind and taking what they considered souvenirs.I am sorry but stealing is stealing and you all know who you are should all be hanged in the town square,oops forgot we don't have one anymore,what was left people stoled,well we just beat them with our shovels and stomp their f--king head in.yes the nightmares continues and just won't go away.I don't want your pity,I just want you to keep your filthy hands off what belongs to others.everytime a hurricane comes into the gulf of mexico the nightmares begin again.maybe one day they will go away,but untill than i suffer in silences and wait it out.
