Puppies in Bed :)

At night Pirate really sprawls out and gets super comfy in MY bed.. right next to my head.. but I dont mind the smell :) I love him like my own puppy :) We're gonna miss him but I was thinking that when i go over to you guy's house or vice versa we could bring our dogs once and awhile.. that way they'll get to play :)
Here he is sleeping.. its like 3am;



and heres a video of him twitching....

A Poem to My G's

This is a very old poem I wrote but the message isnt any differnt.

A Poem to MY G's
wat u gonna do to be blue,
to be tru?
wat u gonna giv 2 be
sumthin that ain't you?
'cause u out wit a gun,
n u killin' mama's boy
'cause u out wit ur knife,
u jux stabbin' at ur bro.
Remember on da playground//
wat baCc when we was young,
c^rip juxx wat u wanna be,
slobks ain't yet a memory.
N' den one day u get beat in,
the flag is flyin' high/ u proud,
but I jus sit and cry and cry,
my silence is so loud.

Now u ain't at ur daughter's class,
droppin' off her lunch,
'cause u out on da bloC,
throwin' one las punch.
So ShyMae ain't got food to eat,
she starvin' fer ur love,
you wanna giv her everything,
buh money's all u got.

So every night u out,
doin' work for the set,
and many nights u watch,
as ur homeboy'z bleedin red.
How can u liv a life lik diz,
where everythings a lie,
where babies drop in 2's and 3's
and mama's sit and cry.
Where heroine is happiness,
and blood is scenery,
where everything is crazy,
and life is juxx a war.
How many dawg's will die,
before u end diz bizz?
How many dawg's will die,
before u end diz bizz?

Street Dreams

Here's the latest poem Ive written, its different than my MO beacuse it doesnt rhyme or have a beat but I like the contents..:

Street Dreams
Mmmhmm shh listen up,
Got a thing or two to say now,
Like, I'm only chasing after them street dreams.
So fleet, and everyone who knows feels the beat,
and everyones gonna claim like they know me,
but I can hide even the biggest heartbeat,
bust it out just to make the last shoe drop.
If I could tell you everything I see,
tell you how it is when we're free,
I wouldn't have to hide my heartbeat,
cause it'd be lost deep within' you,
that'd be one shit feat, yeah I try.
Oh I could burn the city,
show you all them pretty lights,
the maybe you'd know the true fight?,
hidden deep within' them pretty lights.
And you can't walk away,
you'll sparkel like that fire,
shit I'd call you deadly.
So everyone sits, I know how they think,
"Shit out of Luck, just another one of Them Things",
but it don't have to be like that.
So I'm chasing after my street dreams,
and I hope everybody feels the same,
and someday I'll show you my heartbeat,
damn I'll make your shoe drop,
and maybe then you'll know what its like on the street of my heart.

Pirate is Abused

Here I am hurting your dog, lol and u asked me to watch him:


But here we all are later that night trying to sleep.. see how its me, pirate, cc and piper? Were very squished and pirate wouldnt stop licking us...

The Late Homecomer

"Before babies are born they live in the sky where they fly among the clouds. The sky is a happy place and calling babies down to earth is not an easy thing to do. From the sky, babies can see the course of human lives.

This is what Hmong children of my generation are told by our mothers and fathers, by our grandmothers and grandfathers.

They teach us that we have chosen our lives. That the people who we would become we had inside of us from the beginning, and the people whose worlds we share, whose memories we hold strong inside of us, we have always known.

From the sky I would come again."

From the book

Day 2 with the Dogs

So today I brought Pirate and Piper to the bowl to play, they had alot of fun romping.. Pirate comes back wehn i tell him to, unlike Piper. Here's a video of them playing..:
Pirate also mauled a little child. The kid was like 2yrs old and it was very very sad. lol.At the bowl when we were running Piper but him in the tail and ran around him behind him holding onto his tail.. Pirate didnt seem to mind. Luckily he hasnt puked yet and only pooped in the house once. No pee... And he likes PB and Popcorn... He;s been sleeping with me every night.. I think hes adjusting well.. his berd sure does hold alot of water.

I'm so angry right now. I hate how people treat me like a little kid. Like I cant handle the truth. If my dad's going to die i'd rather know it straight up, than be surprised when he does. But everyone runs around trying to lie to me and "make it all better" But you CANT. Beacuse not much makes something like that any better.
