So i mentioned this in another thread but here's the full story. Last night i ran into an old buddy of mine from high school. He thought i had got killed not long after graduation in the car wreck. I admit, i got a head injury and was hospitalized and the rumor around here was that it killed me but i had long forgot about it. Anyway we had a few classes together and i was kinda friends with his sister who was two years older than we were. Me and her was always sneaking into each others house but anyway i always got along good with the brother and it was nice to catch up with him. I invited him over to the house this weekend. He's good people. I reckon his sister had a couple kids by some dude and now she's a bartender somewhere in Memphis.

Didn't go to work today. The roofing crew was putting my new copper roof on my house and with all their hammering and beating/banging on the roof I didn't get any sleep at all. After they were done for the day I got up and was outside looking at their work they had completed when a neighbor woman came running hysterically to my place. That ain't normal at all. Me and the wife were both outside and she ran to us screaming and crying that something was killing her dog! She didn't know what it was but it came out of the woods and it was fighting with her dog in her yard and she was scared so she ran to my house. What a weird situation, right? So I went in my house and grabbed my hunting rifle and took off towards her house at a dead run. I got there and couldn't find her dog anywhere. Now she didn't know what animal was fighting her dog and we have bear and panthers and wild hogs (also vicious) as well as coyotes and wolves so that's why I took my rifle. I ain't about to go up against a bear or a panther with just my fists and an attitude :no: So I looked all around her house and couldn't find the dog or the whatever-it-was anywhere. What I did find though was some tracks, and they look like hog tracks. The dirt was so hard there it was hard to tell. And blood on the ground, I found blood.. Now this particular dog ain't a little one, he is a hound/labrador mix and weighs around 70 pounds... and he was gone. Like carried off or dragged the dog off towards the woods. So I had the wife call the state game and fish people and they sent a man down to talk to us. He said he thought it was hog tracks. He also told all of us men in the neighborhood to shoot-on-site, because what kills and carries off a big dog can kill and carry off a small human. Makes sense. Well, I'm married to a smaller size human and I'm a father to three really small humans so I went hunting for this thing for a while. Didn't see anything but a mama deer playing with her baby and a few chipmunks playing in the woods. Tomorrow I'll probably go get some hunting dogs from one of my cousins and get them after the thing. While I was hunting for it I was also looking for the neighbor's dog but I never found him. The kids want to go with me to hunt for it tomorrow but I think I can talk them out of it. I don't want them going with me to find something that mean. Maybe the thing has distemper or something that's made it crazy. Gotta be something like that.
For some reason I've been feeling like withdrawn? lately... I guess that's what you'd call it. I haven't been posting here much. Not as much as I have been for the last year or so anyway. Just don't feel like it for some reason. Like I want to but at the same time I don't know what to say or how to say it when I do figure it out. I just can't put it into words. I don't think it's depression. I don't feel depressed. It took me an hour to put all this into words. Meh whatever
Maybe that's what it is. You might be right. Come to think of it, it has been sorta slow here as of late. Like threads that go several new pages a day now stay on the same page for days at a time. Thanks for the thought
So I got the wild hog that had killed the neighbor's dog. Now he's in my deep freezer. I went to bed around 5 a.m. today and woke up just before daylight to the other neighbors' dogs barking and pitching a fit. Walked outside and there was that hog. Well I got the thing. I reckon I'll barbeque him for the 4th of July. Grilled hamburgers and hotdogs this afternoon and had some family over. Then I played outside with the kids the rest of the day after we went to the park. Had a real nice day.

Definitely uno. I don't think they have Mulan. They've been watching Frozen nonstop for the last week. I like the Despicable Me movies myself.

I don't mind the story line of the movie but all that damn singing! I hate it! Just like the stupid Lion King! Every time some character makes a joke or has an epiphany they gotta sing! Can't go 5 minutes into the stupid movie without a 10 minute Disney song!

Yeah the singing is bad. And it also seems like disney is just recycling animations songs and princesses.. It just gets boring lol.
