Dinosaurs of the beach
Another day at the beach for me. This time it was a cold windy day at my favourite beach Jericho. This is something you don't expect to see on the beach. A giant excavator picking up huge rocks as if they were feathers. When you stop and watch them they begin to look like prehistoric creatures. Out of place and out of their environment. I am used to seeing these on constructions sites downtown or ripping up city streets. Not on the beach that I love. At first it destroyed the beauty of the beach but as I stood there and watched I began to see how graceful they can be. Something so big and powerful being so delicate and precise. Picking up rocks and arranging them in a specific order. I could picture in my mind dinosaurs with their long slender necks bringing them down to the water to drink. I began to realize that these noisy beasts weren't destroying what I love but instead making it better. They no longer felt out of place. Soon they will be done their work and will move on to their next job but I will always have this picture as proof that dinosaurs like the beach too.

FattyMcBeans
This is Dante, he was the original FattyMcBeans. I use the name in honour of him. I'm not one to get to attached to pets but Dante stoled my heart from the time I first saw him. He was special and the two of us had a bond. I got him as a birthday gift for my mom but he was always my cat. I remember picking him out at the pet store. He was the only kitten sleeping and the rest were running around and playing. He was an odd cat. He was a huge chicken shit. He didn't like going outside, he would run from birds and he was terrified of the dark. I don't know how that one works cats are suppose to the the dark, but not Dante. We kept his food on the basement steps and he wouldn't go eat unless you turned on the light and stood there with him. But for all his quirks he was a great cat. He loved to cuddle and would always climb into my lap as soon as I sat down. He knew when I was sick or just down and would always curl up beside me and purr to make me feel better. But don't let his cuteness fool you he had a temper and could be mean if he really wanted too. I have a few scars from him and every time I look at them I smile and think about him. He loved to terrorize my friends, he would always sneak up on and attack them. I miss him and it was hard to watch him wither away from cancer. I could see the pain in his eyes and he tried to be brave for me but it was just too much. Many cats have come and gone since him and all of them have had their place in my life but none of them will ever be as close to me as Dante. I miss you McBeans!

PAIN!
IT IS SHOOTING THROUGH MY BODY LIKE A BOLT OF LIGHTNING. IT'S UNBEARABLE. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. IT NEVER ENDS. I JUST WANT IT TO STOP!
