pitbulls

a friend sent this to me and it almost brought a tear to my eye.


the last few days of this life i have led

were not happy and joyful, yet filled with sorrow and dread

you left me alone , as you walked out the door

do you know how it feels to be loved no more?

as i sat in this cold cell, confused and alone

the question inside, would i get a new home

day after day, the people walked by

i ran to the front, with the tears in my eye

but no one did see me,they all walked right passed

this cant happen to me, i dont wanna be gassed

thoughts of a life, far from this strange place

they're all i have left, my pain inside takes over my face

i wish that i knew, what i did that was wrong

i soon will be dead, my life will be gone

i hope you remember, all the times that we shared

i know that i will remember, when you once cared

then that final day came, when i was to be led

down the hall of despair, to the chamber of death

i tried to be brave, as i walked oh so slow

if you think that i dont, your wrong i do know

as you look into the sky, on a warm summers night

remember me, your dog, can you see that bright light

i'll always be watching, from way up above

do not forget me, it was me you once loved

i look down upon you, and i hope that you see

was it really that fair, what you did to me ?

i do not hate you, cuz thats not my style

after all, i am pit bull, and there's no denial


on a more cheerful note, those sons of bitches tomato plants are growing like weeds. that reminds me, time to go fishing.



i love you sons of bitches.

happy victoria day!

it's VICTORIA DAYin canada today. we get a national holiday to celebrate queen victoria's birthday. the old girl has been deader than a doornail for a long time but we get a day off and it pisses off the frenchmen so it must be a good thing. it's also considered to be the unofficial beginning of summer.

on this fine day our prime minister has reaffirmed that our troops will be out of afghanistan by 2014 and we'll be FORKING OVER 110 MILLIONS BUCKS A YEAR FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS to that little rat bastard karzai. we're paying 110 million but britain is only forking over 100 million. shit, britain's GDP is almost 50% larger than our so why aren't those rat bastards paying more than us? france is still pondering how much they'll give.

last night i finally got around to watching lewis black's "in god we rust". it started off slow but when old lewis got around to valentine's day i laughed my brains out. it was one of those magic moments where the best spot in his act coincided with the peak of my fishing. here's a sample, the best stuff is missing but you'll get the point:

oh yeah, fuck facebook and their data miners.

are you thirsty?

if you're thirsty and like beer then vancouver might be the city for you.

FREE BOOZE FOR ALCHOLICS IN VANCOUVER!

that's right, the enlightened city of vancouver now gives free beer to chronic alcholics! a few years ago vancouver started a program called safe injection sites where junkies got free syringes and a safe place to inject their heroin, cocaine or mixture of the two. there are also nurses on duty just in case something goes wrong. the safe injection site for junkies got the crack heads jealous and their association demanded free crack pipes. guess what, free crack pipes for crack heads. yes, vancouver is a very enlightened city. our federal government tried to shut the safe injection sites down but lost the case in court so the sites remain open.

don't even get me started about social housing in vancouver.

on a more positive note the turtle and gnome are enjoying the sunshine and galloping around the yard.



the tomatoes are also doing well.



i love you sons of bitches.

home grown tomatoes

the tomaters are in the ground! the rule of thumb around here is not to plant tomatoes outside until after the may long weekend. last year it was mid june before i could plant them outside due to the shitty cold wet weather. i was planning on waiting until late may but i noticed my neighbor had planted his and last year he had a beautiful crop of tomatoes by mid august. my tomatoes didn't start ripening until early september and depending on the weather, blight could set as early as the 1st of september. hopefully getting an early start will eliminate the threat of blight setting in. it's hard to concentrate at the cracker factory with tomatoes on the mind.

this little bugger has been in the ground for 10 days covered with a clear plastic garbage bag.



as you can see i've assigned one of my favorite ivy plants the task of guarding the wee tomato plants.



and here's the incubator. kinda like the resurrection ship on battlestar galactica.

25 feckin years!

Holy Christ, i woke up today and suddenly i’ve been married for 25 feckin years! I don’t think i could have lasted 25 years without the support of the exquisite ms wildhack. Thank you Montana.

The lovely mrs myshkin is in asia at the moment and won’t be returning until the first week in june. Lucky me. Before she left i gave her a stack of silver turtles, pandas and maple leafs as well as a lovely card from the dollar store. What did she give me? Squat, dick, zip, nada...... if fact she didn’t even thank me for the all the silver. If we make to 50 years she sure as fuck isn’t going to get a stack of gold maple leafs.

Tomorrow morning i have a date with a man who (correct usage ?) will be sticking his fingers up my arse. It’s time like this that getting old isn’t such a sweet deal. Last week when i went for all the blood tests i was pleasantly surprised when they gave a stool sample kit to take home and have fun with. This is getting to be more fun every day.

Maybe i’ll get a toy and a piece of candy if everything checks out and there won’t be any extra charges to our over burdened health care system. it turns out that all the full figured women and stocky men are GOING TO COST A FORTUNE TO MAINTAIN. did you know that obesity INCREASES 10.5% WHEN A WALMART OPENS NEARBY. i guess it's everyone's god given right to pig out on cheap potato chips and giant bottles of cheap soda pop. so it goes. happy feckin anniversary to me.



i love you sons of bitches.
