So... no one tell Shadow. I am telling you a thing.

So... no one tell Shadow.  I am telling you a thing.  A secret thing for adults only.  😃

He auditioned for the talent show at school, but he wouldn't tell me what he was doing.  I had a feeling that he was gonna beatbox because he's been practicing like crazy and he's really good - from what I've heard.  I've heard pieces of it here and there, and he's showed / told me how he does some of the noises, but he won't like, give me a proper demo.  He's being really shy about it.  LOL

Anyway, me and Shaun went out to dinner in Saks tonight and ran into one of the judges - another student at his school.  She told me that he did beatbox and that he really wow'd the judges.  😃  I don't know if he's in the talent show or not, but I am really glad to hear that he did so great.  He will find out this coming week if he's in or not.

He made it a point to tell me that the talent show was also a dance (which the student confirmed), and he made sure to tell me that I wasn't allowed to go, so I won't get to see him do it.  🙁  I am pretty bummed out, but I am hoping that someone will get a recording of the talent show if he's in.  I think it will be pretty cool and I hate that I won't get to see it.

So... just to re-iterate - he does NOT want me to know what he's doing.  If any of you people go back and tell him that I know I will hunt you down and put you on my blacklist of people who don't get to see my secret updates.  If you think I'm kidding, damn try me.  Once I don't trust you - you are basically dead to me.  I don't play around with my trust.

Fair is fair.

Fair is fair.

Anyone else care to complain about god being removed from schools?  If we can have Jesus, then we can also have Satan.

One or none.  The government can not legally and SHOULD NOT promote one religion over the other.  I wish every religion would jump on this.

A friend's post just reminded me that this existed...

A friend's post just reminded me that this existed, so I'm sharing.

This is Shadow on Bourbon Street in NOLA when he was 2 or 3 years old.  I took him to Mardi Gras and we only went out in the day.  Surprisingly kid-friend when the sun was up, which was fine with me.  I did not go back out for the craziness.  LOL

He ended up with so many beads he could barely walk - just from strolling through the city.  I had to carry them for him.  People would just give them to him because he was adorable, but some people eventually got him to flash his belly.  LOL  Someone walking by just stuck that hat on his head and kept going.  🙂

Neat place, but smelly and wet and gross.  Cool to visit, though.

It's hard to believe my boy was ever that small.  He's bigger than me now!

Called Dick's this morning.

Called Dick's this morning.  Supposedly, my bike is repaired.  New tube in the rear tire.  Adjusted the derailer in the back and also adjusted my brakes.

I hope it's all for real.  I don't have my hopes up, but we'll see.

Ok, cat people...

Ok, cat people - what is the best wet food for an older cat?  Precious is losing weight so I've been putting down wet food for her every day.  But it's just the cheap wet stuff from Wal-Mart.  I don't think I can afford to feed her like, Science Diet every day or whatever, but I don't want to feed her crappy Wal-Mart food, either.  My cats are on Diamond.  I've never seen a wet food by them, but maybe it's only because I haven't looked?

For the record she seems healthy and fine otherwise.  I just think she might not be into having only dry food all the time.  Her teeth and mouth look ok...

Went to Dick's.

Went to Dick's.  Did not leave there with a new bike.  Haven't called corporate because I agreed to give the manager until the morning to figure shit out.

He says that they don't usually return or exchange bikes because they can't re-sell them because it's a liability.  Ok, whatever.

He's got a bike guy who's gonna look at it in the morning and I need to call and find out what is going on at around 9 or 10.  If it's gonna take a long time to properly fix my bike he will give me a new one.  If they can get mine fixed I'll get it back.

I guess I don't damn care as long as I have something to ride.  I am just super annoyed that not only can I NOT keep a car running - I also can't seem to keep a bike in working condition, either.  I'm calling bullshit.  I am pretty sure that I'm allowed to have transportation of some sort.

My bike tire is flat.

My bike tire is flat. Dick's is a liar.
