We believe making the decision for the better is black and white, simple. So why do we ask ourselves sometimes, “did I do the right thing” and if so, “why don’t I feel good”.      Cali came to be when the family in the house in front of ours http://hbmike2000.blogspot.com/2010/10/left-behind-girls.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Innocent Owner Of Mad Cats)15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2477196050090550798.post-2430197734186273569Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:58:00 +00002010-02-11T07:58:42.861-08:00BeijingFuegoToby     Being sneaky is not easy. It takes a lot of training and practice to become the master of sneakiness. Some have a natural talent and can adapt to the art fast, others like me have squeaky shoes with no hopes of ever pulling off a fast one. A true master can pull off a dastardly deed and be out of the crime zone before the poor schmuck even knows he's been victimized. http://hbmike2000.blogspot.com/2010/02/funny-i-dont-recall-eating-that-or-how.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Innocent Owner Of Mad Cats)18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2477196050090550798.post-2321853354568820025Wed, 30 Dec 2009 14:00:00 +00002009-12-30T06:00:06.243-08:00BeijingInterlude   Yes, it's true, I once named a cat after an inappropriate body part.  No one could come up with a name and being the only female animal in the house I named her appropriately or so I thought.  One day at work my phone rang and a good friend of mine said she heard we had adopted a new kitten.  I told her yes and asked her if she wanted to see pictures of my Vagina.  http://hbmike2000.blogspot.com/2009/12/interlude-5-its-never-good-to-name-your.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Innocent Owner Of Mad Cats)19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2477196050090550798.post-5074073289156651405Wed, 16 Dec 2009 13:00:00 +00002009-12-16T05:00:08.071-08:00BullChristmasRock     When I was a child, every Christmas morning my two younger sisters and I would wake up in the middle of the night. It was the same every year. I would wake up and tip toe to the door to peek out, then make a quick u-turn in to my sisters' room.

Color and Joy were over taken by the cold and dreary Grays. Color and Joy knew something had to be done but what, they did not know.

Our mouths open wide, jaws drop to our chest and the corners of our lips are about to split as we take in the horror that is upon us.

We pass each other at work, in the grocery store, in our own neighborhood. Some we stop and talk to and others we pass up. Some we downright run away from.
