What I'm Reading...

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

By Max Brooks




I know, this photo is not one I've taken, this is the movie poster, coming out in 2012! This book is so awesome! Although its taking me a while to get through it because zombies are the only monsters that scare the crap out of me!

Any other creature, Dracula, The Mummy, Wolfman, I imagine my self saying "WOW, Awesome!" But zombies? Fuck zombies...

Every so often I have to put the book down and not read it for a couple of days cause its creepy! But again, amazingly written! Great read if you wanna be scared!

Bull Fight


This photo was taken in Spain, this guy is actually an apprentice fighter, so I can imagine its hard to keep your pants dry when you are distracting a pissed off bull with sharp daggers coming out of his back...

We saw a different type of bull fighting, the matador was on a horse, so he had to ride his horse, lean over and make the dagger stick, the sharp objects got shorter and shorter, making the matador get closer and closer... then out came the sword and the kill shot.

Now, I understand Bull Fighting is very cultural, if you ever have a chance to see a fight I fully support that you go! I do not regret experiancing this, even though it was not my favorite thing to see.

Bulls bleeding, snorting blood out their noses, getting tired yet not willing to give up...

Also, it is rude to root for the bull... so when one bull got a shot in the side of the horse rocketing the matador off I couldn't help but let out a WHOOP!

Photo of Teddy

This is my old dog Teddy. He was awesome! This is while I was living in Italy with my boyfriend Bobby. We raised little Teddy since he was a tiny little fluff-ball of a puppy. He grew to be 70 pounds and eye to eye with me on his hind-legs! (I'm 5'7)

This photo was taken in our living room fireplace, as you can see it was regularly used and a very open and large space.

Teddy loved being at the beach but HATED being bathed! Poor Bobby, during the cold months had to wash him in a TINY Italian shower while I give Teddy treats to keep him calm. Well one fateful evening Teddy decided to be defiant... after a bath we did our best to dry him off, he did that whole dog body wiggle and ran into the living room and layed in the fire place.

I would have been mad except he was so cute, just look at his face! As if to say "Sorry mommy, but I really hate baths!"

I grabbed my camera and captured this sweet expression...

Love you Teddy!
