u.s.a. is a-o-k

so my friend tracie sent me this website, NYC Fireworks, and it's kewl. go there.

so the other day i was eating dinner at home w/ my mom, dad and brother...and we got on the discussion of monica lewinsky and bill clinton's affair. i was saying how i thought that monica was just being young and stupid in thinking that she could ever have anything more w/ clinton than a sorrid affair. i wasn't saying this as a bad thing, i was just making a point that eveyone has been, is, or will be young and stupid in their lives. love kinda clouds your thinking, maybe she was in love, who knows. as for clinton, we all know why he got involved, b/c he's kind of a horn ball and saw a young intern who was lookin' to score...haha. i still think he was a WAY better president than bush could ever or will ever be, but regardless, back to monica...

my other point was that monica wanted to get involved w/ clinton to help her career in washington since she was an intern. i then said the following; "monica just wanted to get ahead." just say that out loud and think about it. haha. she did get "a head" alright!! we were rolling b/c shit like that comes out of my mouth kinda frequently and it's almost always funny. yeah.

something else...so i was driving home from wegmans tonight and i saw a shephard mix dog walk across the road. i pulled into an old store that is closed w/ a parking lot and called the dog over. she was friendly. i checked her collar for tags, but there was only her state licencing tag. no other identification, like the owner's name, address or phone #. that pissed me off. since it was like 10:30pm, the SPCA which is right down the road from where this dog was wandering, was closed. also, i had forgotten my cell phone at home, so i couldn't call anyone about it. bringing this dog home was not an option, but i would've kept her overnight and taken her to the SPCA in the morning if she would've gotten into my car. she didn't want to though, so she walked away from me. that's the last i saw of her. i felt really bad that i didn't do more. i hope that she makes her way back home and doesn't get hurt on the way. i hate feeling helpless b/c i know that there were things that i could do.

also i'll get up on my soap box for this one. if you have a dog or cat or other pet that can escape, PLEASE put a collar w/ a tag w/ your information on it on the pet. also a rabies vaccination tag on the collar helps too b/c people may be less afraid to approach a stray animal if they know it has been vaccinated. the rabies tag ID # can also be tracked back to an owner by veterinary clinic on the tag. also, if the animal has a tag on w/ the owner's info or a tag saying that the pet had a microchip there is at least someplace that someone who finds the animal can call to help get the pet back to its owners. i got a tag w/ my info on it from an internet site for free! they are cheap if you buy them other places too!

**so please people, if you have pets and you want to give them the best chance of returning home if they are found by an honest person who doesn't want to steal your pet PLEASE buy a collar for them (that fits snug and won't fall off), and put their rabies tag, microchip tag (if they have one) and a tag with the owner's info on it!**

so i'm off of my soap box now...and this post is toast...
