IT’S ANOTHER POST OF STUFF
December 1, 2014
Well it’s time for some Monday morning STUFF. First up the football player Johnny Manziel got to play a little in a game and almost immediately was ordained as the second coming of Payton Manning. People are upset about a black person playing a Storm Trooper in the new Star Wars Movie and an all white cast in the new Exodus movie. Man I can’t even make this crap up. The Colombian who had been kidnapped by “Rebels” two weeks ago was released Sunday so now President Santos is ready to resume peace talks like nothing ever happened. How is it people from all over the world keep electing idiots as leaders? Today is Cyber Monday that, the internet version of Black Friday only you can’t touch the STUFF your about to put on your credit card and pay huge interest rates. The Hockey player Martin Brodeur, the man who originally found my buddy Flounder in the meadowlands parking lot is getting ready to retire Flounder wishes him the best of luck. The price of crude oil is dropping fast and may reach 30 dollars a barrel but of course you won’t see a huge drop in Gasoline prices those oil company execs aren’t about to give up country clubs, private jets, and their Lamborghini anytime soon. Well that’s enough stuff for Monday. Oh by the way Jeff is leaving for the US this Wednesday and depending on our ability to communicate there may not be a lot of Blogging for most of December. But I guarantee there will be a lot of partying. This is Flounder saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.
DON’T BE CRUEL
November 17, 2014
Today Jeff is letting me (Flounder) write the post. First I was under the weather for a couple of days some sort of food poisoning. I guess I won’t be bothering Jeff and Ruby when they’re eating anymore. Now comes the bad part Jeff read an article about a puppy that had been beaten with a baseball bat. He was very upset and I’m really pissed off. Abusing an animal is the same as abusing a very young child. They don’t understand why you doin it. a lot of states have laws that protect animals and punish those that abuse with jail time and fines. I of course don’t think this enough. I know there are people out there that live off the land and hunt. I also know they don’t torture the animal before they kill it. But you have Seal and Dolphin hunters that beat their pray to death and cows and pigs are killed in similar ways. I’m just going to stick with the domestic animals for now. You don’t see a lot of abuse in Colombia but you do see some as well as abandonment although strays are fed by strangers at least in Bello. I feel that in this regard animals are like kids if you are a parent and you don’t want the child don’t leave it in a basket or something and hope someone good will take care of it. With a pet there are plenty of people willing to care for it so you don’t have to throw them out of your car or leave them tied to a tree. Animals and small children haven’t learned that there are bad people out there they love without question and when you beat them they think that they’ve done something to offend you. Here’s another thing to remember about animal cruelty it’s one of the indicators of a serial killer in the making. Well I’ve succeeded in really depressing myself now so I’ll just say This Flounder saying CIAO from Medellin Colombia.
