Well here I am, at 11:17PM on a Thursday night, pondering the many things this day has shown me. I have turned on The Devin Townsend Project (KI), and am sipping on some fine brew. Many things of thought, anger, frustration, simplicity and romance float through my head as if tomorrow comes at a turtles speed. I'm fine with this though; Perhaps it's time to be fine with the things in life that I simply must release the control I thought I had.
The day began with simple things such as breakfast, showering, some musical wanderings across the fretboard of my guitar. A friend of mine sent me a message via phone, asking if I can come be there for him and his fiance as they were about to go to a court hearing. The hearing pertained to the recent capture of their dog by our city's Animal Control (I would refer to them as our own little Gestapo, but my anger just can not handle being brought forth for the thousandth time this day). To wrap this up in a neat little bundle, the judge and city attorney (Gestapo) thought this animal was "vicious" and decided to have the poor pup put down. No, I shall use "murdered" for this context.
This whole event has brought forth the conditions in which our "Animal Adoption Center" currently forces its residents to live in. It's cruelty, something of a third world nation sort of condition. I shall blog more on that subject at a future date, but to give a small preview I intend to go back down there with a digi-cam, take photos, and send these photos and letters off to organizations such as PETA and news outlets from local to national. Call me a simpleton, but I simply can not stand for such treatment of animals. It's a simply screw up in our evolution that we somehow ordained ourselves the judges of when animals may live or die, when infact we are animals as well. We just happened to win the evolutionary race to get past our instincts (if you want to call what we have become a victory...).
If you have stuck with me this far, I applaud you and thank you. I have stated that I will rant on various subjects. Poliko has a strong heart and stubborn mind, and he will spill them forward like rivers through your eyes and minds. I'll leave you here, and if you resonate at all with my cause toward better conditions for Animal Adoption Centers, please voice your support, or simply rally for the cause in your own location. Goodnight, and good luck.
