Pino and Me: A Story About A Dog (Part 1)

Jun 8, 2009

Pino is the name of our (me and my girlfriend) lovely puppy. That's a picture of him, in its stupidest, sleepy expression we both adore so much.
Never judge a book by its cover. Behind that adorable looks, that fluffy fur ball can be such a monstrous case.
Have you ever seen "Marley and Me" starred by Owen Wilson and Jen Aniston? Well, this post is inspired by the movie, because believe it or not, our story is similar to John and Jen Grogan's life; bound with a freakish yeat adorable dog, minus the ending of course, because Pino is still pretty much alive and oh yeah, he's a just a domestic dog instead of Labrador retriever.
This is how our story began...

Pino was born in June 1st 2004 (he's 5 years ole now, Happy Birthday, boy!!!). "How can I tell?" Well, that's because me and my GF were there when his momma, Diva, delivered him and his three siblings, namely Venus, black as tar and huge for her petite momma, Hugos, a boy with a cow like pattern, Omen, a girl with hamster like fur. Our gray, rat-like gray but adorable Pino is the youngest. It was my girlfriend who chose him (she and her friends have decided to adopt Diva's puppies when they got older, that's why we attended Diva giving a birth in the first place) . It was love at first sight, she said.
Unlike my girlfriend, I passed out already because it was 4 AM when finally Pino was born. The next thing I know was when my gf woke me up and took me to the cardboard which was Diva delivery bed and pointing at a tiny mound of fur, squeezed between his siblings' bigger bodies, suck hungrily on her momma's nipple.
"That" she whispered, "is our future puppy." Yawning and still half asleep, my response was "It looked like rat, are you sure about it." After poking my head with unrestrained knuckle for that remark, she said "Sure. Why not."
The turning point which affect all of us and finally bound our fate with Pino was when 10 days after giving birth, Diva died. A car hit her when she's wandering around. The four siblings become a reluctant orphan, and me and my girlfriend suddenly has something furry to attend to.

Legalize Marijuana!

Jun 2, 2009

"Care to smoke a joint?" maybe is my second most favorite thing to hear beside "Hey, handsome, can you give me a ride?"
The reason is that it is usually followed by a session, or a prolong one, of a heavenly comfort, while the latter, though also promise a heavenly comfort, didn't happen quite often and always depend on who said it...having it said by a transvestite for example is rather a horrific thing to hear for me.
Marijuana the food of the god, or a plain addict, is maybe one of the most debatable substance on whether or not it should be legalized.
I stumble upon this site, which apparently is an e-petition to the US Government to legalize marijuana. Oh, come on!? Why don't you guys expand the range for the whole world instead of US alone? The site has gather around 37,523 signatures. Not bad I think, though can be better.

Check The Video Out

Personally, I don't think marijuana should be banned after all. No one OD'ed on marijuana unlike heroine or any other against-the-law substances. If the number of death casualties defined whether a substance should be banned or not, alcohol is even more dangerous, or a slippery soap bars to that extent. So, why is marijuana banned in the first place? Do you know the answer? Please give your opinion in the comment section. Oh yeah, this other site seems to be a great site to gather information on marijuana.
