my myspace doodles

found a doodle to try and morph:










this is what i came up with:

On Notice Board

In true Colbert fashion, here's my notice board:

pictures! yeah!

And the long awaited photos arrive.

First up, here's Draco, the oldest. He's also one of the least shy normally.








Next is Monk (left) and Silverback (right). Monk is very protective of all the others (or very vain and knows what a camera is) and is in almost every picure I've managed to take of my koi.


















Carrotcake (left) is hard to get because he and Snowmask (not shown) like to dart in and out of view. Greenback (also not shown) will still hide at the first hint of picture taking, food or no food.





Here Monk is again with Brownie (left). Brownie is the closest to trusting me enough to eat out of my hand. He actually will come up to get the food when my hand is less than an inch away from the water. Silverback is the one inbetween.


















Here's a couple of shots of my smaller container. It's got a beta, some shubunkin, and a few mosquito fish.

Yeah, fish!!

I have been out and about (read trying to get in shape by doing a million and three projects all at once and sleeping very little) and have made a miniature koi "pond" out on my balcony ( I really need to get a house). through much trial and error i have living fish in it. there's the ever present algae eater (not the chinese version), a snail, and 7 koi. Their names are Draco (oshii asagi or oshii tancho goshiki), Monk (Gin Rin tancho sanke), Brownie (sandan hi utsuri), CarrotCake (OhMoyo menkaburi Kohaku), GreenBack (Butterfly midorigoi), Snowmask (soragoi), and SilverBack (nezu ogon). they have managed to make it about two months now all together (if you want koi go to the PetsMart out at Turkey Creek) except for Draco whom i've had for about 5.5 months.

soon to come: photos

Apparently my definition of "brown" is way different from the koi breeder's definition. Theirs is a light yellow-brown saffron. Mine is a deep bistre brown. Brownie's color by their definition is "black". Interesting. Here's the list of colors for those like me who are unsure of the colors.

FUN FUN FUN!!!!

This is from our bout with the Chippendales.
First here we are all together... funny since this was the LAST picture taken.
















Next is my favorite. ;D He kept coming back to our area so we got to see him (and his wonderful tattoo) alot.

















He's yummy and likes to shoot guns. Pun intended.















Everybody now: "Save a horse. Ride a cowboy!!"



















Isn't the bride to be a good sport? Let's here it for Jules!!!

little known easter fact..

The Easter Bunny brings all good children eggs and is a cute little rascal.

But I wonder...

Valentine's Day Y'all!!

'N here's a poem fer all y'all fellers to try on yer wimmen.

Collards is green,
my dog's name is Blue
and I'm so lucky
to have a sweet thang like you.

Yore hair is like cornsilk
a-flapping in the breeze.
Softer than Blue's
and without all them fleas.

You move like the bass,
which excite me in May.
You ain't got no scales
but I luv you anyway.

Yo're as satisfy'n as okry
jist a-fry'n in the pan.
Yo're as fragrant as "snuff"
right out of the can.

You have some'a yore teeth,
for which I am proud;
I hold my head high
when we're in a crowd.

On special occasions,
when you shave under yore arms,
well, I'm in hawg heaven,
and awed by yore charms.

Still them fellers at work,
they all want to know,
what I did to deserve
such a purdy, young doe.

Like a good roll of duct tape
yo're there fer yore man,
to patch up life's troubles
and fix what you can.

Yo're as cute as a junebug
a-buzzin' overhead.
You ain't mean like those far ants
I found in my bed.

Cut from the best cloth
like a plaid flannel shirt,
you spark up my life
more than a fresh load of dirt.

When you hold me real tight
like a padded gunrack,
my life is complete;
Ain't nuttin' I lack.

Yore complexion, it's perfection,
like the best vinyl sidin'.
despite all the years,
yore age, it keeps hidin'.

Me 'n' you's like a Moon Pie
with a RC cold drank,
we go together
like a skunk goes with stank.

Some men, they buy chocolate
for Valentine's Day;
They git it at Wal-Mart,
it's romantic that way.

Some men git roses
on that special day
from the cooler at Kroger.
"That's impressive," I say.

Some men buy fine diamonds
from a flea market booth.
"Diamonds are forever,"
they explain, suave and couth.

But for this man, honey,
these won't do.
Cause yor'e too special,
you sweet thang you.

I got you a gift,
without taste nor odor,
more useful than diamonds...
IT'S A NEW TROLL'N MOTOR!!
