This is where I shall try to keep such posts as I make in a sharing nature. They may or may not be kitty related and could possibly contain links to, but not limited to, news stories, youtube links, observations or simple comments. You are invited to join in as you wish. And if you wish to ignore, just as fine with me. I shall start out with a bit of news.... Whilst on vacation I had the opportunity to view the 'How to Train Your Dragon' movies, parts 1 and 2. And I must confess, I have fallen in love with Toothless the dragon. Now, Toothless is a guy dragon, so it's just in a buddy buddy kinda way. His devotion to Hiccup is inspiring. But what gets me is his kitty-esque mannerisms. Lori first pointed out his amazing similarity to her kitten Bella.... Same head down wide eyed don't F with me stare. It was very striking. Then watched both of the movies. One of the best scenes to show his kittyness....... Oh, he is beautiful............ And this amazingly kitty bit....OK, DRAGON kitty bit... Toothless wants to share....... And then I found this bit of confirmation. Animator Gabe Hordos on Toothless and his tabby cat. So, I gotz a new kitty-like buddy. And a most amazing dragon he is.

"I could express some dreams, long since dead. About a world that I once said...." Could become greater than I currently perceive it to be. I don't know folks, I just don't know any more. Our current president is simply the most amazingly self indulgent ignorant fool we have ever had. He plods on and ignores the will of the people, voiced by the trouncing the dems had in the mid term elections. He has stated out and openly that he does not give a rat's hind end about the will of the people and that he is going for with his own personal agendas. This troubles me greatly, and if I get more expressive about my wishes for Obama, I should be banned again directly. And, the majority of the American public, as shown by some recent polls, are with me in that sentiment. Off to kittyland now....more soon. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

I am going to try to do this one time. I have a classic Hal Holbrook clip I am going to post here. The reasons that I do this are both because I love Hal, and because the subject material is above reproach. There has never been a man above either Twain nor Holbrook. The principal is this.... You diss me. And you then diss all that I have ever stood for or represented. I was a bit tired of all the backbighting that went on in the moment before I left you for months.

Toothless is on my daughter's "still hoping I'll get him for Christmas" list :) The soft version from build-a-bear anyway. She's twenty four :)))) and it was the only thing she wanted for Christmas. There wasn't a single one available in the whole of the UK by the beginning of December though :( with no new stock expected till sometime in February... which is why she's still waiting :/ I intend to buy it for her myself - in person - no delegating to a minion - because she's been brilliant :) |

I shall probably get one for the kitties to sniff at one day. I love the fact that your daughter is 24 and can still be a kid. I am 58 now and am still so. I'll always be just a kid. When Toothless smiles...LOL. I melt. Get the toy when you can. I have kitties. Toothless....not yet. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I suspect this could be Toothless's song for Hiccup...gender neutral, of course. But he loves and protects Astrid as well.......... Kittys love all regardless. Even big dragon kitties love all their masters. And he flies through this world, but adapt thingys...LOL. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Surely this would be true. And whether any of you believe them... all is not lost. This is why I document them here. My tears in the rain shall not be forever lost...... "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

What you don't believe.......... I don't come from where you come from, Dr. Becker.................. I have only recently come to understand this movie. Prot is a mentor created in his mind to save himself from the reality of a tragic event in his life. He lives then in this alternative world, where he is master of time and space. What some of you do not realize or wish to admit.... Is that I do the same. My time and space is under my command and hopes and dreams. I too, wish to escape reality at times. And this is how I do so. It is not that I deny reality, I simply avoid it for periods of time I have my job, and that pays the bills. I react rather than interact, with other people. I get along better with things than people. 'Things' I can control, manipulate, monitor, and repair. People, not so much. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

A large part of my life was taken by the trio PPM. A very large part of my life. When Travers passed after her fight with her blood disease, I was simply devastated. I still own all their songs on vinyl. Her and dearly departed Pete Seeger/. These are the songs, and things that have made me who I am. I've had the hammer........
