Evil Stuffin

"I think Crab, my dog, be the sourest-natured dog that lives."

- Wm. Shakespeare in Two Gentlemen of Verona

I know this is about a particular dog.... BUT I had to use my dog Stuffin.

One day back in highschool, I woke up at 5am to get ready, and she was on the couch, curled up, looking at me with big bloodshot eyes, with the meanest look on her face until I left for school. So I took a picture. My family calls it the "don't touch me look". She actually looks meaner in the photo... So this quote reminded me of that. :)

First Job Worst Job

Every year in the US, 625 people are struck by lightning.

The tentacles of the giant Arctic jellyfish can reach 120 feet (36.6 meters) in length

I realized after I finished this... that somebody had already done one pretty similar to this with the whole scuba diver thing. I didn't copy I swear! :o)

I absolutely fell in love with this quote.

HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet,
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams

W.B. Yeats

It reminds me of my mom :)
