Have you ever...
had an earworm ya kinda liked? This one I've currently got is a good song and it IS my own fault. I've "watched" Cheech & Chong's "Up in Smoke" about 10 times in the last few days and now, all I hear in my brain is...
All my friends know the low riderThe low rider is a little higher
The low rider drives a little slower
Low rider, is a real goer
Hey
Low rider knows every street, yeah
Low rider, is the one to meet, yeah
Low rider don't use no gas now
The low rider don't drive too fast
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip and see
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip with me *wry grin* Cool song, but fer piss sake...
Ya know? On top of which, without really knowing I was doing it, it seems I've been trying to figure out why something I saw at Rob's yesterday made me go "Nuh-uu-uh!" when I saw it...
Dogs remind me of little boys. Cats remind me of ex-wives.Now, it's not that I'm trying to tell him what he thinks, but the whole concept of "cats are women" just didn't fit well, for me. I even tried reasoning with myself... Like, I realized that, generally, dogs are guy-things and cats, mostly, are women-things. Can go both ways, yeah, but, even with that in mind, it still just seemed wrong somehow. "Ah, well... no biggie. Rob's dislike of cats is well known. He not cruel to them, so... it's all good." Fast forward several hours. I've even been to sleep. I'm in the 'library' (around 4:00am) still reading (and giggling at and getting annoyed at) "Outrage", when suddenly... poof!... there it is. It finally just came to me what my problem was with Rob's theory... "My" cat China was in there, laying on a towel on top of the washer, looking at me. I glanced over at her, petted her and talked to her a few times. I heard myself telling her that the reason I loved her so much was that she picked me. (Hence the quotes around 'my'...) She was Bill's son Billy's family cat. There are at least 97 kids in that house and they are all nutso. No way did this cat have any kinda good life with these people. She was so starved that a guy who works here, Lou, got pissed off at Billy and took her from there, brought her here, then got pissed at Bill and quit (and is back already... *rolling eyes*) Anyway, Lou brought her here and she became an outside cat, which she reeeeally didn't like. At all. She saw me outside one day and begged me for food, she was a RAIL. So, I brought her in, of course, and showed her the dry food and gave her some canned and boom... I have a new cat now. But... that's not all... She got pregnant, as cats on farms are wont to do. She continued to come in (and go back out) during her pregnancy. She came in this one night, decidedly thinner than she'd been. She had looked like she'd swallowed a football sideways until then, by the way. So, she's had her babies... wonder where? And, oh Lord, shit... it rained it's balls off for the next coupla days, so I thought the kittens were goners. I still liked the cat, but I musta been looking at her weird, because, my hand to God, the very day that I told her that what had happened to her babies was a crying shame, but that I still loved her anyway, she BROUGHT THEM ALL IN HERE. One at a time, in her mouth, through the open window. She GAVE ME her babies to help her care for.... Such trust...
Such thinking for a "mere cat". Nobody is gonna tell me (with any success whatsoever) that this animal didn't know exactly what the deal was. She KNEW she could trust me, she KNEW she could love me and not regret it and she KNEW that I'm a good person. Now... that's a TRUCKLOAD more than I can for the "typical" woman. See what I mean? Cats are, at the very least, SMARTER than lots (and LOTS) of females. Now, if he'd have said, "Rabid groundhogs with diptheria remind me of ex-wives", you'd have not heard a peep from me. (Love ya, Pappy!! *kisses*) "That is all..."
(for no-oo-ow... *giggle*)
Just by the way, y'all are lucky I made even this much (little) sense, what with "Low Ri-der" on a loop tape in my head, ya know?

I agree about the cat thing...some cats are smarter than most females. Even my 'lil tarded kitty has more sense than some girls I know. And thanks for the song that's now stuck in my head for the rest of the day (low ri-der...). Gotta go find some John Tesh to purge it..not.

I also love the song "Cisco Kid" by the same group (War).
Cats are cool and everything, but I'm a dog person. I can't have cats because we have a dog door and the cat would slip out and become coyote chow.
