Destroit

I realize now that the only photo which didn't come from within the last week is the one of Zombo and Tribble on the top of the rat cage. The rat died in March . Pest took the photo randomly one day awhile ago, so I can't take credit for it either way. I just found my silver camera a few days ago. I thought it was packed away for awhile now but it was in my desk the whole time . He knew it was there and took that shot so I'd be surprised with kittens when I picked up my camera and turned it on.

I went back a few pages and didn't see a thread for this, which shocks me seeing as there are so many people who are either professional or freelance photographers on the board. Or even people who just take random photos and happen to be proud when they get a good one here and there. Took the following ones within the past week. Mostly of our pets, but they're still really effin' cute to look at . Except our dog Frank, he's a jackass and has "smack me" face. Not saying I actually smack him, but I do have to stop myself from doing it constantly. Even though he has Frank Face, which is the term we now use to describe anyone who has an annoying face, he still has his cute moments.

There's also no grass in my backyard. Buying a house in Warren you have to figure that there will be no grass and that every visible square inch outside will be covered in broken glass, so you just know you're going to have to deal with it. As I don't really care for lawns and think grass is a waste of prime artistic landscaping space, I choose to put in extensive brick patios and unique elements. I'm keeping the theme of the yard raggedy urban-blight, so instead of getting sayyyy really nice English gardens type bricks for the raised garden beds, I'm getting cinder block. I'll probably finish it off with graffiti also and all that. Going to make my backyard look as if someone went to the abandoned railroad tracks in Detroit and put a REALLY nice hidden garden in it... Figured that it would be cooler than going to Home Depot and buying up everything else that everyone else has in their yard already. I want mine to be unique, not maybe 100% original (because that's hard to pull off), but at least "me" enough.

Some just love spring because it gets warmer, but for those of the green-thumb assortment, working out in the yard is where it's at. It's a shame that so many people put so much time into gardening and landscaping and yet only random people driving down your block, some guests, and neighbors are usually the ones who get to see it. So I decided to dedicate a thread for photos . I personally don't have a whole lot up yet, they're either mostly still seeds or seedlings. I grow everything from seed pretty much, I hardly ever buy plants at stores and plant them. But this is the crop garden in back, only thing up really in these pics are the radishes, chives, and some onions: Close up of my first ittttty-bitty onion: I'm not huge on flowers, I tend to grow produce more than anything, but when we bought the house there was already a properly-bordered flower bed out front with a rose bush already in it. I always grow some flowers out front, I even did at my old condo, because it makes your neighbors happy, spruces up the front a bit, and they're still fun to watch grow even if they don't overtly have much of a function. Only real thing up right now are the bulb flowers though. All of the seed flowers are still either seeds or small little seedlings that you can't easily see in the pic. And the following is my lonely raggedy-ass dragon tree that has seen too much abuse from my kittes and is happy to finally be outside where it's safe, ironically enough. Got it in a gift years ago, my friend gave me a "Goth gardening kit", and this was a seed in it. They're tropical and also where they get the incense Dragon's Blood from because the tree actually bleeds red (which also smells nice), it's nuts! Not much yet, but I will definitely keep updating as more spouts. I'm hoping to get a berry plant of some kind, the popular vote in the house says they want a raspberry bush. Also in the market for a small flowering tree to put out front so those mother fucking kids from the neighborhood stop tearing up my lawn running around playing games on it all day. I might take more in a few days, because since these were taken I've had peas, potatoes, beets, lettuce, carrots, etc, come up. Kay, your turn!

Nope, Gitzie says you love kitties.

No you won't, and you fucking love kitties. Admit.

What two things?

What two things?

I would be forced to shove his own head up his ass .

All of them. What's your favorite amusement park?

There's a lot of people in our neighborhood with a LOT of kids, so many that I'm sure they wouldn't notice one missing...and they're FREE . Just sayin'

Shit like that makes me wish it were still legal to smack the shit out of your own kids and other people's kids!! Ohhhh the good old days, when things both made sense and worked. Kids are allowed so much power over their parents now, it's ridiculous.

ROFL You should have put some lipstick on me so I could have at least looked pretty BEFORE YOU FUCKED ME! *spoiler ahead* HUMANCENTiPAD = Kyle gets his mouth crapped in twice by a Japanese dude. I think I can stop watching now . I have now seen all of what they could ever possibly have on South Park.

Got done knocking out ten pages of paper to turn in tonight. I have next week's final for my Security, half in class half written report, and then two more weeks of Bcom and I'm OUTSKI.

No...no man...not like this. I can assure you. Not trying to downplay the threat you perceive of vagina-assault, but I can assure you it's not the same thing.

I will send one to your work if you deliver one to Macomb Community College, Center Campus, later on today. I really don't want to go to class, but what else is new.

We need a good fucking tornado. Everywhere else in the country has been getting their shit wrecked by them. I'm staring to wonder if maybe Michigan isn't in the Federal Tornado Stimulus Package this time around .

YOU FEED THEM MICE....

My vag is trying to kill me...

PARTY AT YOUR PLACE! We'll all be over in an hour...

"...104 grams of cocaine, 1.4 grams of heroin and 54 grams of an unidentified crystal powder from the house." WTFFFF!!!!! 104 grams of cocaine, off the top of my head, would be anywhere from $8,320 to $10,400!!!!! SOMEONE was gettin' Sheenfaced! The heroin was probably not nearly that much, and I have no idea about meth because I'm so old, it wasn't on the scene when I was younger hardly. Glad I only had to deal with cokeheads and junkies, people on meth frighten even me.

When I used to loiter in the parking lot of this one strip club, after the club closed we would sometimes go to an after hours at 7 Mile and Mound in a place called Brandy's Bar. I used to get SO nervous because I was about 18-19 at the time and fresh off of probation, so I was always afraid the place was going to get raided while I was there. This article doesn't surprise me, because after frequenting the place a few times I found out why they had such immunity: It was police RAN (yes RAN, didn't just "allow it", weren't just "paid off" but ran). So I was 19, fresh off parole, and kicking back tequila with most of the officers in the City of Detroit without even knowing it. Even police-ran blind pigs get raided though, but it is almost always like this where it's getting tipped off first. The same thing happened to Brandy's Bar, one week I had someone call me and ask if I wanted to go and I said I was going to CC that night. They told me it was probably going to be the last opportunity I had to go because rumors were going around that internal affairs was catching wind of what was going on. I thought they were bluffing, but sure enough, no more than a week or two later the officers running the blind pig mysteriously stopped doing so and if you go in and ask anything about it now, the bartenders "don't know what you're talking about". Article also reminds me of the gas station at Dequindre and 7 Mile, the fact that grade-school boys were out in the parking lot slinging all day without being busted what-so-ever. They gave a decent cut of their profits to DPD officers, who then agreed to look away. I lived a block from that station with by then-boyfriend for a summer, and EVERY NIGHT these kids (like four-five) were out there openly pushing shit.

Wait...I didn't know there was an option for just saying no to smoking drugs... . I'm all sortsa confused now .
