Feline Drama!!!

On Tuesday morning I got up, made coffee and started to feed the cats ... I noticed that only Mifune had shown up to eat ... I went looking for Wasabi ... I found the sliding glass door AND screen in our bedroom wide open ... an accident by The Wife & The Boy the night before ... Wasabi was gone ... I did a quick search of the neighborhood right away ... nothing ... after dropping the kids off at school/preschool I came home and spent hours wandering the neighboorhood calling out to him ... later The Wife came home from work with a sign she made up and we attached a picture of our fur-child to it ... I went to Kinkos and made 100 copies of it to make sure everyone in this part of Palm Desert knew to look for Wasabi ... I spent most of Wednesday in bed with a migraine caused by the stress of losing that cat but in the evening we went out again and put up signs everywhere ... still no cat ... on Thursday going to work took my mind off of it a bit but the minute I got home I went into a funk 'cause I wanted my cat back ... at 3:30am this morning (Friday) the Lady Baby was crying for Mama ... The Wife got up to check on her and then ran back into the bedroom in a panic looking for her glasses and ran out the bedroom door saying she thought she heard Wasabi outside on the side of the house ... I heard her calling to Wasabi and a couple seconds later came back into the house holding that crazy boy!!! ... he was gone for 3 long days ... we have no idea where he was hanging out but he wasn't dirty except for his feet ... he had lost some weight and drank water like crazy ... he somehow had found his way back home ... I hope he enjoyed himself because that won't be happening again!!!

Now I have to go all over North Palm Desert taking down the "Lost Cat" signs.

See This Doc!!!

Today I watched the documentary Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten ... this is a MUST-SEE film for fans of The Clash ... Julien Temple did a fantastic job directing.

United Stupid of America!!!

I just saw something on the 11 o'clock news that really disturbed me ... they were doing a story about the presidential campaign and they showed a clip from a McCain rally today ... there was an older woman holding the mic and looking at McCain like she was asking a question ... she said into the mic, "He's an Arab" ... McCain said, "No, no, no" and took the mic away from her and walked away (which is one of the few things he's done in recent memory that I agree with!!!).

There are people out there that think Obama is an Arab.

Maybe there are some people in this country that aren't smart enough to vote!!!

Army of God???

Should I be honored by the Tony Soprano of the anti-abortion movement commenting on my blog??? ... NO!!! ... Don Spitz is from the Army of God ... an extremist right-wing anti-abortion group from Virginia ... he was commenting on my line (which is from a bumpersticker): Against Abortion? Don't Have One! ... does this guy spend his time online checking out every web site that has the word "abortion" on it??? ... he is a very dangerous and blood-thirsty man ... I hope he doesn't mail me anthrax (which he is known to threaten people with!!!) ... here's his comment that he left on my blog post this past Friday:

Rev. Don Spitz said...

I can dig it. "don't believe in abortion , don't have one"

"don't believe in shooting babykilling abortionists don't shoot one."

"Don't believe in killing sex perverted sodomites, don't kill one"

I think you are on to something Matt.

SAY THIS PRAYER: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and am headed to eternal hell because of my sins. I believe you died on the cross to take away my sins and to take me to heaven. Jesus, I ask you now to come into my heart and take away my sins and give me eternal life.

Random Thoughts!!!

During tonight's VP debate Sarah Palin used the term "Joe Six Pack" ... what does that mean??? ... if this "Joe" is drinking a six pack of beer a day he has a drinking problem ... maybe Palin is trying to appeal to the alcoholic voters.

I think it was during the last election there was a ballot measure to fully fund preschool for California's kids ... it didn't win ... I bet all the people that want the $700BILLION bailout DIDN'T vote in favor of free preschool ... those people hate my kids.

The only position anyone should have on ABORTION is: Against Abortion? - Don't Have One!

The only position anyone should have on GAY MARRIAGE is: Against Gay Marriage? - Don't Marry a Gay Person!

No Protest For Me Tonight!!!

I would normally be at the La Quinta peace vigil tonight ... but, my right arm is so achy that I won't be able to hold my protest sign ... so in lieu of the protest I'm going to post the lyrics to Michael Franti & Spearhead's song "Time to Go Home" (watch the video):

TIME TO GO HOME

Those who start wars, never fight them
And those who fight wars, they never like them
And those who write laws, they can't recite them
And those of us who just fight laws, we live and die them

But I know they never gonna tell you why, no
They only wanna tell you lies, no
Never ever gonna tell you why, no
They only wanna tell you lies, no
Never ever gonna tell you why, no
They only wanna tell you liesIts time...it's time to go home

Don't take our boys away, no
Don't take our girls away, no
Don't take our boys away, no
Don't take our girls away, no (it's time to go home)
Don't take our boys away, no
Don't take our girls away, no
Don't take our boys away, no

Those who build walls are pretending
That forever they can defend them
Those who dam streams can build fountains (yes they can)
But those of us who just let them run free...we can move mountains

But I know they never gonna tell you why, no
They only wanna tell you lies, no
Never ever gonna tell you why, no
They only wanna tell you lies, no
Never ever gonna tell you why, no
They only wanna tell you lies
Its time...it's time to go home

Don't take our boys away, no
Don't take our girls away, no
Don't take our boys away, no
Don't take our girls away, no (it's time to go home)
Don't take our boys away, no
Don't take our girls away, no
Don't take our boys away, no

It's time
It's time!
How many people were they runnin from and
How many people never saw it comin
How many people never heard the warning
How many people never stayed at home and
How many people never heard the call and
How many people never saw it all and
How many people did they spend it on and
How many people got to sing this song and
How many people never heard the cry and
How many people gotten pushed aside and
How many people never saw the doves fly
How many people never said goodbye and
How many people never saw the fall and
How many people til we end it all and
How many people never saw the wrong and
How many people did we drop the bomb on

Don't take our boys away, no
Don't take our girls away, no
Don't take our boys away, no
Don't take our girls away, no
Don't take our boys away, no
Don't take our girls away, no
Don't take our boys away
It's time
It's time to go home

Away
Away, highway ridin'
Away, highway ridin'
Away
Away (Away)
Away (Away)
Away (Don't take our boys away)
Away
