Fur Zombies

There is a new and disgusting trend going around deviantArt, which we call Fur Zombies. These Fur Zombies are also called Taxidermy Plushies, and they are made of the fur of dead wolves, foxes, coyotes and other animals.

Now lets get something straight, I am in NO WAY a supporter of PETA. I use to be, back when I was younger and they brainwashed me, but I saw the light and told them to fuck off. I'm what I call, an "animal rights activist against PETA". They kill. PTEA murders.

Back to the article.

Now, I'm not 100% against hunting. I understand population control and I understand that some people need to hunt to eat. I also understand that when these good hunters are finished with their kill, they like to use every part of the body. This may include taxidermy. I'm not against this. If you display the animal in a dignified way, give it a scene of freedom and authority like it would have in the wild, that's fine, but Fur Zombies are nothing more than plushies. TOYS.

The creators of Fur Zombies would have you believe that it's "art" and that they are being treated in a dignified manner.



Most of these Fur Zombies are thrown onto beds like any ordinary plushie or teddy bear would be. They are put in stupid positions so they can be photographed for funny and "cute" pictures. They are cuddled with and treated like a toy, which is what they are. A sick toy made from a dead animal.

If you have to have an animal killed to make "art", then you're no artist. You're as guilty of murder as the fur farm those pelts came from.

The only... slight... exceptions are if the animal died of natural causes or roadkill. But it's still creepy and degrading. Some people say they use these plushies for the study of the anatomy of the animal, which is just as possible to do using reference photos.

Death

2009 seems to be that year the dear old Grim Reaper favors, taking many famous and beloved people.

Deaths include David Carradine, Ed McMahon, Bea Arthur, Farrah Fawcett and of course Michael Jackson. Of course, it's only June. We have 6 more moths to go. Much more room for more celeb deaths.

So here are my predictions of deaths to come with in the next months:
William Shatner
Karl Lagerfeld
Octomom
That governor who was hiking the Appalachian trails... in Argentina...
Chuck Norris (YES I WENT THERE!)

The death of Farrah Fawcett was tragic, but totally expected. RIP Farrah. I'm so glad you aren't suffering anymore.

The death of David Carradine first made me cry when I heard the words "suicide", then made me giggle when The Guitar Guy (The guy Jeff Dunham uses in his concerts) made jokes about him dying by something so kinky. RIP David. You were a real tripp.

Ed McMahon... HEEEEEERE'S JOHNNEY! RIP Ed.

Bea Arthur... Aw, Bea, you're eternally golden. I grew up on The Golden Girls. Bea was an amazing woman and losing her is like losing a national treasure. RIP Bea...

Oh, and of course Michael Jackson. The King of Pop. Granted, I wasn't a big fan of his. I had mixed fealings about the child abuse case. Honestly, I didn't know whether to believe it really happened or if the kid lied to get money. But I did like some of his music. His death, much like Steve Irwin's, was sudden and unexpected. Every time I think about it, it seems so surreal. It's like he's still here, but when I stop to think about it, I realize he's gone and never coming back. RIP Michael. You'll forever be the King of Pop.

Summer Reading List

Here's my summer reading list:

1. The Complete works of William Shakespeare: I found this lovely book at an antique shop a month ago. I can't find a date on it, but I think it's from the 1940's. The page throw you off, seeing as how they are as thin and frail as the pages of a church song book.

2. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke: I hate to admit it, but the cover attracted me. I know, I know. "Don't judge a book by it's cover." Well, I did this time. Get over it. It's an entirely black book with white letters and a white silhouette of a crow. Yes, it sounds boring, but it has that Gothic looking charm that I love. <3

3. Desperation by Stephen King: What can I say? The King is my hero! :D

4. Dead City by Joe McKinney: On the back it says zombies are coming back due to a virus and by chance this book is about a small group of people who have to stop them... *sigh* Typical... I just want to see if it has any promise. :\

5. The Clocks by Agatha Christie: Agatha Christie. Nuff said.

6. The Turn of the Screw and Other Short Stories by Henry James

7. The Time Machine by H. G. Wells

Sonnet 130, depicting true love

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

The woman described in these words brings visions of old washed up hags who could never capture a man's heart, and yet she's loved. This is a love so passionate that it breaks the barriers created by outer beauty.

True love has nothing to do with looks. It's about being able to connect with that one person you know will be in your heart forever.

Of course, we all know that no one pays any attention to this sonnet. Today, we live by false beauty. Today we want long blond hair, seductive blue eyes, Pete Burns lips, fake boobs, tanning till you get skin cancer and a face so tight you look like your in pain no matter how happy, sad or shocked you are. It's disgusting. These women look horrible.

There are times I wish the world was blind.

Just some thoughts

1. Dear God, I'm afraid of public bathrooms! Always that one stall that has a toilet backed up by 10 pounds of toilet paper some prankster shoved in there... WTF?

2. I saw a man who looked JUST like Anton Chigurh at B.J.'s.... Only without The Lad hair... Some may argue he looked like Javier Bardem, but he acted, dressed and looked like Anton. Same eyes. even. So no, not the charming and hot Mr. Bardem, but the black hearted, cold blooded, emotionless and equally hot Mr. Chigurh!

3. My dog's acting weird...

4. I need to draw more...

5. Goya painted death, darkness and all things weird, right? He and I would be best friends if he were alive today! :D

Quote of the day + A question

Animals have these advantages over man: they never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills. - Voltaire

Question (it's stupid and for my own amusement): Why was there a pot leaf lying in the parking lot of Best Buy this morning?

This question has eluded me since 10:30 this morning. lol

Fuck you, Susan rocks!

To everyone who thought Susan deserved to lose Brittan's Got Talent, I have one thing to say:

FUCK YOU

She deserves every fan she has, she deserves the adoration and love and she deserved to win. So she had slip up. She's human. It's normal for a human to slip up.

Susan, we still love you. Please continue to sing.
