They never stop looking droopy and ugly therefore you can't look at them
They wear diapers ... diapers are for babies
Their shaky hands can't put food in their mouths but if and/or when they finally do it just comes back out all chewed up
They are grumpy and mean henceforth you feel grumpy and mean
Did I mention the diapers?
They are too old to work consequently they are saps on our society

No one likes them...


He's pooping in his diaper.

PLEASE don't read this. You'll hate me.


How many times has your mom ever told you to kill something? My mom has ... once ... I was ten.

Every spring my mom's daisies pop up out of the soil in her yard. These daises have a sentimental value to her because they have been transplanted from her grandma's farm. I think they look pretty but they smell like butt. Maybe it is the smell that first drew Henrietta the hen to them.

Henrietta made it an ongoing habit to roost in my mom's daises. My mom made it an on going habit to remove Henrietta from them until she was fed up.

"Bri, that chicken has got into my daises one to many times."
"So ... I can kill it, right!?"
"Absolutely!"

A mere hour and a half went by and I was outside playing. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Henrietta walking into the yard. I waited in giddy suspense as she walked right into my mom's daises. I was overjoyed for the chance I now had to obliviate that damn bird!

I ran to the garage in search of a proper killing device. I looked and looked but my dad's garden tools were no where to be found. Then I saw it... the perfect choice for battle! My dad's tennis racket! I grabbed the racket and ran to the daises as fast as I could.

As poor Henrietta was eating away at the daises she had no idea the blow she was about to receive. BAM!!! Henrietta flew from the daises like a bat out of hell. She was running but she was so dazed from the blow she couldn't run far. Mark Blue and his brothers Morton and Malan riding their bikes nearby saw the commotion and sped over to aid me in the onslaught. "I have a bee bee gun at home I'll be right back." yelled Mark as he could see the tennis racket was only knocking Henrietta around.

Morton and Malan jumped off their bikes and grabbed some pipes that left behind by some construction workers. The three of us took turns swinging at the bird but with all the baseball experience the Blue boys had they sure couldn't hit much. My tennis racket sure wasn't doing much, just dazing Henrietta. Marcus returned with the bee bee gun. He took aim and hit Henrietta once, twice, fifty times and that stupid hen just kept going!

More of the neighbor kids saw what was happening and apparently their mom's told them they could kill this hen too! After what must have felt like ages to Henrietta half the neighborhood was after her. I'd had enough. I returned to the garage to find a new weapon. I saw it. The garden hoe. I snatched it up and ran for the back yard as I wasn't about to let anyone else off Henrietta.

I took one swing with the hoe and that was all it took. POP! Henrietta was gone. After all the shouts of domination and the high fives I returned to my mom with the news. "Well, just don't tell the neighbors." she said. "Umm.... which ones" I retorted.

Although my mom did give me permission to kill the chicken ... I accept full responsibility and any implied blame should be placed solely upon me.

Names have been changed to protect the innocent.

I am actually quite an avid reader to be matter-of-fact. I read every day for at least thirty minutes however more often than not it's closer to two hours.

As I read more and more I find that I have more ideas and concepts for art and photography. I am inspired every time I pick up a book. Writers are all geniuses in my book.

In my formative years I never read a thing, in fact I am ashamed to say that until I served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I never read a single book in it's entirety. I read a page here and there but ... alas I was foolish and did things much less important like kill chickens with tennis rackets. The Book of Mormon was the first book I ever read.

After returning from a mission I went to school in Rexburg, Idaho and Lord Almighty you might have guessed it... yes, this is where I learned to LOVE reading. The second book I ever read was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and then the entire series was always on my list of favourites. I love fantasy so that makes sense. Since then I have gone on to read many great books of real substance and some of very little substance. Here are a few of my favourites in no particular order

o Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
o 1984 by George Orwell
o Animal Farm by George Orwell
o Shop Girl by Steve Martin
o Born Standing Up by Steve Martin
o The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis
o The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas - thanks Dad!
o The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas - thanks Dad!
o The Man in the Iron Mask by Alexandre Dumas - thanks Dad!
o High Fidelity by Nick Hornby
o About a Boy by Nick Hornby
o Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby
o Life of Pi by Yann Martel - thanks Jesse!
o The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
o Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger
o The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
o Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
o All of the Harry Potter's by J.K. Rowling
o Anything at all written by the pure genius Roald Dahl
o The Heart of the World: A Journey to Tibet's Lost Paradise by Ian Baker
o The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Sir Aurthur Conan Doyle

and many many more... I would list them all but the list would just be too long. From now on I will try to post what I am reading and if it's worth your time or not. Right now I am in the middle of about nine different books however the ones that stand out the most are

Stardust by Neil Gaiman - pretty good so far ... better than the movie so if you liked that you'll be stoked.
The Club Dumas by Arturo P]]> Tue, 08 Apr 2008 06:16:38 -0700 http://virb.com/brijan/posts/text/555685 I Hate Robots - part II http://virb.com/brijan/posts/text/552504 Robothate Collective. Anyhow... hope you like it.
