snakes

are freakin' scary! their venom is hella strong and shit, and it could kill you. this guy on tv got bit by a rattlesnake, and his whole arm was torn apart!!! he had to have hella surgery on his arm to get the infected swollen tissue out. i can't even imagine the pain you'd feel getting bit by an extremely venomous snake, like a black mamba snake. some people even have allergic reactions to the venom, giving it an even more severe effect than it already is. the venom will swell up the bitten area more rapidly, and you'll have a much more extreme effect from the venom. some venom will eat away your tissue, dissolving your skin with it's acidy substance. other venom will thin your blood, making you bleed out your eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. its amazing how people can survive the crazy effects of venom today with the technology and anti-venom scientists have discovered.

meeeeow

It's amazing to me that some people really despise cats. My cat, Abbey, means sooo much to me and i honestly don't know what I'll do when she's gone. I've had her for about 11 years now. I can still remember how we got her and Sammy the first. My dad's friend Rob knocked on our door at our condo in Livermore. Kim and I were about 5 or 6 years old, so of course when we answered the door only to find two adorable kittens, we were ecstatic. He left the two fluffy kittens on our porch, then left as quick as he could. We had no choice but to take them in, it was that or the shelter. It was a good choice in the end. I used to be mean to them, like the time I fed Sammy a listerine strip. He didn't like that very much. Sammy ended up getting cancer and other diseases that forced us to put him to sleep in 2001. I miss him to this day, but at least I still have Abbey. I could just feel a connection when she looks in my eyes, it's like she's saying she loves me and appreciates every pet of love I give her.
