meow says the kitty

just to show that i’m not completely self absorbed, a post about my roommate, Juan:

I’ve been living with Juan for nearly 5 months now, after having met him at fullsail. when we first started our little adventure, he said to me, “i’ll like…pet your cats occasionally and stuff…but, like…i’m not gonna pay for cat food or anything.” what he was trying to say is that, just because the cats are in his apartment, he doesn’t want me to assume he has to do anything about them. this is all well and good, it’s not like i’d expect my roommate to pay me some sort of cat rent, like i’m some sort of cat pimp and they are my little petting prostitutes. but it’s funny to watch him now, lovin’ on my cats. he tends to feed them more than i do, because he gets up earlier than i do, and taylor is pretty much un- ignorable in the mornings.

but i must say that this humourous evolution came to it’s peak when juan and i were watching “the shield” (best show ever) and in the end (*spoiler alert*) the character “Dutch” strangles a cat (don’t ask why, you’d have to watch the show). The funny thing was, as the charcater approached the cat, juan made a little joke about snapping the cats neck…(once again, makes sense if you saw the show), but when the character picked up the cat and actually strangled it, juan paused and stated “that’s messed up.” it’s always fun to watch a tough guy get soft.

let the madness ensue

as you can see, if you’re a regular, we have a little addition to the site here. in the top right corner you can see “countdown to ‘the day’.” for those of you who don’t stalk me, you may not know, but in, as of this post, 58 days, 18 hours, 36 minutes, and 25 seconds, i will be getting married. i’m excited…in case you couldn’t tell. the thing that has truly annoyed me during this time of my engagement is the complete lack of the traditional, “congradulations!” no, i seem to find only the most jaded of people to talk to. it seems like every time i tell anyone, i get “don’t do it…” and the like. i’m not sure if i’m annoyed, or just sad that the rest of the world sees marriage as a mistake. i suppose in the days of a goverment that won’t acknowledge a marriage between two people who love each other but happen to be the same sex, but they will acknowledge marriages of stupid pop stars that get them annulled 24 hours later, people see the whole institution as a sham. too bad really. i wish the rest of the world could see just what a beautiful thing marriage could be. maybe i’ll tell you about it in 58 days, 18 hours, 28 minutes, and 10 seconds. heh.
