Introducing myself to you

Well as it says in my profile I'm 38 single and gay with a shit load of animals.

How many I hear you ask? well maybe you didn't ask but I know somewhere in the back of your mind the thought was getting ready to pop up to the front!! So I just saved you some brain power. Your welcome!

Ok now as a side note I do have a tendencies to ramble on, I do it in my emails, I know I can talk a hind leg of a donkey, sew it back on, then talk it off again!! See what I mean?

Where was I?

Oh yeah my animals. I have, and I do preface this with a point that I am in fact not mad, have never been diagnosed as being insane or any mild form of madness, of course that may be proven wrong by one of you as you read my blog, but I am not officially insane. I like to think of myself as being a caring human being, who is offering a loving home, shelter, food and security for a population on this planet that is too sadly abandoned or abused at the hands of man.

All of them are animals that people have brought to me either injured and found on the side of the road, or removed from abusive situations.

But at last count as of today's date. I have

18 cats!!
Remember I told you that I was not in fact insane, all though I know a lot of people assume that if you have that many you must be. Well I'm here to prove I 'm not, or at least not yet!

5 dogs!!
All sizes 4 males and 1 female who is the smallest of the pack but she has a don't fuck with me! Attitude, she was either a Pitbull, Rottweiler, Doberman in her past life. She will get up in the other dogs faces like no ones business. I'm waiting for the day that I have to take her to the vets with her face hanging off!

2 flying squirrels.
Ok they were not exactly rescued, well now I think about it I guess they were as my cats caught them and I was able to rescue them and nurse them back to health which on the first one Chirppy took about 3 months, so of course in that time he got fat and happy and pretty sure unable to survive in the wild as reliant on me to feed him. Then I got his little buddy Old Timer from my neighbors who's friends cat had also caught and injured one. They are both male, and as are a number of my animals, gay! More on that one in a later post!!!

1 Aquatic turtle
Again rescued from being crushed by a big foot!! 5 years ago. Then he was the size of my pinky fingernail, now he sits and covers my hand pretty much. His name is Nessie

And a 55 gallon tank with about 16 fish in it. Never thought that I would like fish or the turtle as more of a 4 legged furry kind of person, but Nessy the turtle is a trip and the fish are cool as well.

I like to think that they all have personalities, going about their daily lives with out a care in the world because they know they are safe with me!! That was touching>>>>!!!!!

Ok so that's my animals, my kids I guess you would say.



As stated in the intro I live in Florida in the small but rapidly growing city of Zephyrhills. Yes home to the famous Zephyrhills Water. Only thing is that the water that they are passing off as being from Zephyrhills is actually from a small redneck little place on the side of highway 39 about 5 miles outside of Zephyrhills, called Crystal Springs. That is were the natural water comes from, they just bottle it in Zephryhills. But I guess someone else already had the name Crystal Springs. Well that was a nice trip down history lane!!

When I first came her in 1998 we had a Kmart, small crappy Walmart and Publix and Kash n Karry and Walgreens. A couple of small trailer parks and the occasional subdivision that was golf oriented, I mean come on its Florida for gods sake... ok I am going to digress again....

...Told you that I'd do it. When I say god I do not actually mean "God" because I do not believe in "God". I would say that I am an atheist who if burned at a post and made to pick a religion would choose Buddhism. I do believe in reincarnation, I honestly believe that how ever shitty some of my animals existences were before they came to me, with the love and compassion I have shown them and the trust they have gained in me, it will result when they do come back in their next form, if it is to be a human one, with them being I hope, a kind, good hearted loving, non judgmental, person. Because we all can agree that we need more of them in this world.

But anyway after that little digression. Do I still have you with me? Or did I just lose the Religious Right memembers!! Damn fucking shame if I did. I will leave that subject to a whole new post!

This is about introducing me to you and I don't want to scare you off with a rant from my soap box quite yet!! Actually thanks for sticking with me this far.

Ok back to my post. Zephyrhills is now the proud owner of a Super Walmart, A Lowes, Home Depot. At least 20 new subdivisions and condos setting up. It really is scary. Hopefully no one in the future will make me leave my land because they want to put in a parking lot for the mall they are building down the road. And I do own it. It's my one spot on this planet that I know I can be me and no one but myself has any right to judge me!!... Yeah you go sister friend!!

But now because of the idiots that we have running this country (again another post, actually with my feelings about the current administration it is going to be at least a couple of posts!) but because of their laws they have ruled ok, a big corporation can come to Zephyrhills and say we want to build the biggest mall in Florida right here, and because of all the taxes Im going to be paying you, you can get rid of the little men and women who have their whole lives on that little acre or more of land they have scrimped and saved for over the years, well you can screw them because you can make much more off me. Bastards!!!

Anyway I do apologize I got up on the soap box again, maybe I need to leave it out of the room so I am not likely to just step up on it again, or at least not untill it is the right post.

Well that is where I live and a little introduction to me. Now I think Im going to close this post off and go get some dinner going as Big Brothers tonight. Go Janell!!
