An Angel in the Blackberry Patch

Funny how you really get to k now your animals when you live with them day to day.

Every Animal I have ever had, has a certain personality. This also goes for Bearded Dragons as well. Not all are created equal.

Daisy Juanita (A CONFIRMED FEMALE) is a sweet personality, hand waves, never head bobs to other dragons.(A sign of aggression/or mating ritual) never turned her beard black....and only got pissed off when our Yorkie Poo was being a complete pain in the ass! Angel Lynn (confirmed Male) is completely different.

Angel WILL head bob, and turn his beard completely BLACK, and even slap down his front foot on the ground just to make a point.

But.... I found a soft spot on my little bearded friend. A bonding point that I (as his daddy) love spoiling him with. BLACKBERRIES. I hope you enjoy the photo's of Angel (above).

Here's a P.S. on Daisy Juanita. She may be PREGNANT. YUP. That's right! Female Bearded Dragons DO NOT need males to lay eggs. However, whatever eggs that Daisy may lay, will not be fertilized. Therefore NO BABIES. We noticed Daisy's behavior change a few days ago. Daisy is scratching on the sides of her cage, constantly digging the walls. This is a sign that 1. Daisy IS A FEMALE. 2. She may be looking for a place to lay eggs.

I will update as things may or may not happen. Tomorrow I will go to the dollar store and get some organic soil, (wet it a little) and put it in a tub. I will then put Daisy in it, and leave her alone for awhile to see if she relieves that urge to dig and lay eggs.

Wash This Judge!

Today I stood by my convictions, and did laundry all day.
I spent the day in the upper area of the house,
watching a series of "Rocky" movies back to back
while ironing, folding and loading & unloading the machines!
(now if that aint butch nuttin' is!)

Tomorrow they are running "Rambo 1 & 2".
I suppose it's Sylvester Stallone week here!
I have quite an ironing pile here, so I guess I will tune in, and watch John Rambo kick the crap out of some people on the tube!

Speaking of television, I really like watching the "Judge" shows on TV.
I used to favor Judge Marilyn Milian on The People's Court, Hell, I was even on The People's Court (yes, I won my case),
but now there are SOOOOOOO many Judges to choose from!

Currently, I watch....
Judge Alex
Judge Mathis
Judge Karen
Judge Judy
and Janine Pirro

Judge Pirro being my current Fav.
I DVR Judge Judy just so she won't kick the shit out of me! I love that lady! You don't mess with Judge Judy, and you can tell she has sooo had it with these dunder heads!

Do me a favor, when you watch a Judge show, (especially Judge Judy) check out the language. People do NOT know how to speak English!

I sware this woman is speaking and she says:
"He done grabbed me, and now I don't conversate wit him no moe".
Then another brilliant mind perks up
"She punched a dent in my car door,
then swang and swang at my window and brokedid the glass".

THANK GOD I didn't get my Ed-U-Mac-Ation thru TV!

Happy New Year 2009!

Along with the NEW YEAR of 2009 come the resolutions....
Now I gave up resolutions a few years ago, ( that was a New Year Resolution itself!) but I do have new hopes, and goals for this nice New Year. Not listed in any particular order.

I want Penny and I to find a church home.
I want to lose a couple of pounds.
I want to find a live band.
I want my family to be healthy.
I want to go back to an organized house (laundry/ironing/chores)

That should do it. The thing about resolutions is, you gotta be careful. You don't want to put to much pressure on yourself. Things you may not be able to live up to. So I stick to the showbiz saying K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid).

Santa Clause brought our bearded dragons beds. Yup 3 little doll beds. These beds have actual soft cuddly mattress'.

Strange of Santa you say??
Take a look at this!

Above Daisy Juanita ( RE-CONFIRMED A FEMALE Dragon) sleeping tight in her new bed from Santa. The 1st photo below is Dani (UNCONFIRMED SEX) getting ready to play on his bed & then go night nights. #2 Photo is Dani playing "Captain of his bed ship".

Yup 2009 and things are NORMAL in this house still!

Madam In Wonderland

Santa brought me 2 new Elvis Shirts!
This one is the "Cisco Kid" shirt.
I figured I would record a few songs tonight.

Funny, people think that you can just go into the studio and record them 1, 2 , 3. I was down there for hours. I can sing a song up to 25-30 times until I am satisfied with it. Most people would be driven crazy by the repetitive nature of this process. Thank God I'm not "most people".

A song I did back on Long Island years ago called "Past Midnight" took me 10 hours to create OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again.
(Drove Penny NUTS!!)

I hope you like the 2 (out of 3) cuts I did tonight.

"Here Comes Santa Clause"

"Silent Night"

These cuts will be on my upcoming album
"Madam In Wonderland"
(to be released in 2009)
