Nearer my God to Thee

So I'm very sad today. A little back history for this entry.

Last night, our sheltie Benny seemed to be having some trouble getting around. Which isn't all that unusual. He's almost nine years old, so definitely getting up there in the age category, but this was so unexpected. I really hadn't forseen it coming, although part of me kicks myself for not.

Yesterday, the dog seemed had no balance and couldn't walk in a straight line, so my mom and my sister took him to our town vet. Who looked at him, prescribed some pills for inflammation and set us on our way. However tonight, Benny seemed to be much worse. By the time eight o'clock rolled around, he could barely stand, wasn't eating or drinking at all. When he started throwing up and loosing control of his body functions, we rushed him up to the bet in Calgary although by this point it was pretty obvious that we were losing him.

Safe to say, he didn't make it.

So now I dunno what to do. We're down a dog, which might not seem like a big deal but our animals are a big part of the family with us. We just lost someone very close and it hurts. Very much so.

I'm probably gonna call into work in the morning and say I won't be in because of this.

God... it hurts.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.....

Active Games

Is a brand new role playing game based on the popular eighties cartoon Jem and the Holograms. We're a nice group of jemfans who after seeing a big lack of jem rpgness have decided to band together and create our own masterpeice. The game is set two days after the final Jem episode. Jem/Jerrica still hasn't confessed to Rio that she and Jem are one in the same and now faces telling him so after he may have very well just confessed to her that he's in love with Jem.

Shana and Anthony are in the talks of possible getting married and therefore Shana and the other holograms (jem included) think that it's only fair to let him in on their secret. Meanwhile, the truce between the Misfits and the Holograms is holding up but since they'd fired Eric Raymond, they're looking for a new manager. Stormer suggests Jerrica Benton, something Pizzazz takes into consideration if only to be that much closer to learning out Jem's true identity.

The Genetic Opera was one to remember for a long time coming, that much was for sure. The King is dead and now his children are running GeneCo with Amber at the head of everything. Shilo left to live her life, thinking her family was dead. However, that wasn't the case. Nathan survived the gun shot and he managed to save Mag, though she`s blind once more.

Graverobber has started a resistance to GeneCo and Amber because, frankly he's gotten annoyed by Amber. Amber is keeping tabs on Shilo and when she finds out Nathan is alive, she's not happy. She blackmails him into becoming the REPO MAN again in order to keep Shilo safe. Shilo, has no idea that her father is alive and she has heard of the resistance through Graverobber and is more than surprise to learn that Mag survived and is now working with them and providing them with a voice.

Now Nathan is back being the Head Repo Man for Geneco. Amber is threatening to harm Shilo if he runs. Graverobber contacts him and now he is part of the resistance, working on the inside to take out GeneCo. Will the heirs to the kingdom learn of the resistance? Will Shilo be reunited with Nathan? Who will win this war? .

There are plenty of big baddies out there that want the slayer dead. However, in this universe it is one that many people wouldn't expect at all. In this universe the slayers old watcher disappeared and everything went to hell in a hand basket, literally.

Her friends were now part of the undead and don't remember her or their friendship. Her former watcher was the master vampire of the Sunnydale. Humans were hunted like cattle at night. It's a horrible place to be and the people who can keep it safe are the slayers: Buffy and Faith. They have to keep Sunnydale safe, though it is hard when Faith is going off on her own and Buffy is left to try and fight the big baddies all on her own. Their watcher tries to gain their respect but fails and there is tension in the city.

Everyone knows that the vampires rule the city and the big bad vamp in charge has his eyes set on Buffy. What can she do when a person that knows her just as good, or possibly better than herself, wants her head on a silver platter? What can the watcher do to make his slayers respect him? What will the vampires do to get to the slayers in order to please the big bad vamp?

T-minus 2 days and counting.

That's how long until I'm LEGAL everywhere. Except in the countries where drinking isn't allowed of course.
Must admit I'm still not sure what I'm gonna go do. I'm thinking maybe dinner and movie. Though I haven't a clue what movie.
Anyone seen the new Tom Cruise movie? Any good?

Works been a drag. No action. Little Pay.
But I've decided that I'm gonna work on math 20 for a little longer and then save up for my car and a few other goals I've been procrastinating on and take math 30 in the fall of '09. I don't care what everyone else thinks. That's when I want to do it, and that's the end of story.

But my News Year resolution was basically to set acheivable goals, and then succeede in acheiving them.
Driver's Liscence, here i come!

sorry folks
