He does have enough to share, but unfortunately for you the park is in Europe :P. My mum just went to visit him and apparently he's talking about how beautiful everything is. It sounded pretty funny. I guess I'll see it for myself when he comes home for dinner.

So I was watching America's next top model All Stars and for a challenge they all have to write and record a song.
Most of them are pretty generic poppy dance songs that are good but not that memorable.
But one them, Allison Harvard, actually had something that could have sounded really interesting. While she was singing it in studio it sounded great, but then the finished project was completely destroyed by those like 'introductions' that taint music these days. Whispering at the start "Allison, you're an all star".
Had they left the song bare it actually would have been really good, not to mention the fact that Tyra decided they all had to incorporate 'Pot Ledom' (Top Model Backwards) into their song.
Then they shot a music video and ALL of the music videos were destroyed by Tyra and Keenan Cahill (Who apparently is an internet sensation, I've never heard of him before) doing awful cameos.

This is the song I was talking about, you can see from her picture that the girl is totally beautiful and weird looking. When she was recording the song it seemed like it could almost have a Lykke Li feel to it.
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/pscDr-Wu1Zw" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/pscDr-Wu1Zw</a>


And yes I know: It's America's next top model, what do you expect?
But I have to wonder what exactly Tyra thinks she's doing and if she thinks any of what she does is genuinely a good idea?
But it also fuels my annoyance at the incessant 'branding' of music these days, does everyone have to say their name at the start of a song? And can nobody do a song on their own anymore? It seems everything is 'featuring', probably somebody you've never heard of. So much music would be saved if we could only remove the terrible intro and senseless talking.
Don't even get me started on Lady's 'Bonafide Bitch' mix tape and how every 40 seconds it says "DJ motherfuckin' Rell"....I swear I listen to decent music too (otherwise I wouldn't be here!)

I re-e-e-e-a-a-a-lly want a dog. A wittle bulldog and I'd call him Gladstone and wipe dribble out of his face-folds. It would be awesome and I'd love him forever and ever. I mean, really. Want one so badly.

You know having a dog is quite a demanding responsibility, right? And costs money. And drains your free time, specially if you don't have a big backyard  where it can run freely all day long, where it will poo, pee, and have fun chasing birds (no pun intended), rats/mice/rodents, annoying neighbours and mating with bitches (again, no pun intended) of other dog race and generating mutts you will donate to other people.

Don't buy/adopt a dog just because you want to have one. For real.

Oh, no, I know! I wasn't saying I'm going to get one, I just reeeaaally want one. I think it's *incredibly* selfish of people to get dogs that they can't look after, I wouldn't dream of it. But I can't wait until I have the means to look after one properly. It'd be awesome. Though, a bulldog would be a fairly good breed for me because they're relatively lazy and can live in an apartment - like a ground floor one with a garden -  rather than needing like a huge house with acres of grounds and stuff. I also believe in neutering your pets if you're not going to breed them properly, it's not responsible to just let your pets run free and do what they want. I live with two dogs at home, and I've learnt an awful lot about what it means to be a responsible pet owner from my parents, not least from their absolute rage and hatred of people who don't look after their animals properly. I mean srsly, they are fucking scary when they get onto the subject xD

So, no, I won't be getting a dog any time soon, and while I think that sucks I also know that it's the only way to go :)

Enough space for three pigs, two sheep, five chickens, one rooster, two ponies and a cow. But in the interim, a little fat dog and a place of my own would tide me over just fine. Until then, I'm alone in my student digs :(

 O0  - all the above.


I havnt neutered my dog cause we had the intention to bread him. We did it, but it failed both times. One time the bitch had troubles during her pregnancy and lost the puppets. The other, a different bitch, she simply didnt let him do anything. But on our old house he matted two times with our former neighbour poodle bitch (he is a brazilian terrier) and had a few mutts. But that was more because they simple couldnt keep their back doors closed or any door they would pass by (seriously: they would left the common gates always opened. always.).

So, both times they mated was because they left their door opened: one time my dog got into their house and the other their bitch got out to the common backyard while my dog was there (we had an agreement to not let them out at the same time during her rut, since we both didnt want to neuter them).

Can I ask what the arguments are against neutering if breeding isn't going to happen? Like I can understand if it's expensive, but wouldn't it be more expensive to have all these accidental puppies? Both ours are spayed.

None. Have I said or sounded like Im against it? If so, sorry. We (my family) wanted to breed our dog. In fact, a lady came by November last asking if we wanted to breed. We agreed, but she didnt call or came here again. My dog is 15 years old, btw.

And I dont know about them. I was 11 and I wasnt aware of everything concerned it. But if they did not care to check if the common gates were closed, I think they didnt care about having to give away a dozen of puppies every 2 months or so. Specially cause paying for neutering wouldnt be a problem for any of us.
