I'd never feel comfortable on the plush white carpet, or on any of the furniture.
I'd rather sit outside on the ground.
I have friends who always invited me to holiday dinners.
I went twice... I'd rather eat a sandwich.
I lived outdoors most of my life. I haven't closed my door in months. Dogs and cats wander in and out 24/7. As long as my bed is clean and dry, I'm alright.
Anyone who obsesses over keeping their house clean and neat, should never invite me inside...
I'd rather stay outdoors.
My house is...
One room with four walls (for storms and storage): and four rooms built off of it, with one wall each, so I can cook, eat, bathe, and sleep, with living Hawaiian rainforest visible on three sides, and only one wall to each "room."
I also have a skylight; so the natural sun shines in my house everday.
I don't own an ashtray, flick em on the floor/ground. I don't do sterile. I don't do bug spray. I don't put toxic chemicals on my land.
I've never seen a house built as comfortable for a nature lover, or repulsive to a neat freak, as mine.
Everytime I hunt, I ask myself the same questions.
Which is why I hunt.
I don't question myself as much if I buy it already cooked, or wrapped in nice clean packing.
I think everyone who eats meat, should hunt for it every now and then...
It feels like it's disonest to eat meat, without ever even killing it.
One day I might become a vegetarian. Not as likely if all I see of meat comes in glorified "Happy Meals."
Meat doesn't come in yellow wrappers.
And you can't be thankful for the life you take when you eat meat, or have the same consciousness of your place in the circle of life, if you always pay someone else to kill it for you.
I have way more interests and hobbies than I can fit into 4,000 words.
I like chess; but studying 64 square board games from around the world, leaves chess as a small aspect in a larger interest.
I love history; and chess also fits into historical studies...
...going back to before Noah's ark; which is the only logical reason I can find for 64 square board games to be found in such isolated parts of our globe.
I love learning.
I love languages, etymology, quantum physics, cooking, hunting, trying to decode hidden messages woven into cloth, religions, cultures, and seeing how everything that interests me, intersects in time and history.
Thanks to these new phones being hooked to the internet, an old hobby recently came around again...
I don't remember a time when throwing knives wasn't fun for me.
I have a lot of natural ability; and never met anyone who is better than me.
I was talking to my friend recently. He asked me a few questions, which started me on another long study...
I learned things about knives and knife throwing I never dreamed of!
I found people who skunk my feeble attempts.
I also found a man who's been making some of the best quality throwing knives for decades, going out of business, and bought his last two sets of throwers.
The value doubled as soon as I bought them. I can make a profit off of em.
But, I enjoy primative hunting.
The last two times I hunted was goat with a knife, and pig with rocks.
I always wanted to hunt with throwing knives; and I was just out of range from a deer in Utah once...
Finding 6 perfectly matched 22 ounce Bowie throwing knives, has me eagerly waiting for a chance to hunt with them.
The throwers I already own aren't heavy enough to puncture a pig or a goat.
All the throwing knives I ever bought before I learned about professional throwers, we're too light for hunting.
Now my hobby of learning for the sake of learning, has coincided with an old hobby...
And I'm really excited about hunting with throwing knives!
He created people who think they are "atheists," gave them the ability to reason, and apply that reasoning to understanding, they can't find anyone who can prove God exists...
But he didn't give them the ability to comprehend the fact, when they apply the exact same reasoning to proving "atheists" exist: they can't do it.
The American Pit Bull Terrier is recognized by the UKC, which was founded to benefit Pit Bulls.
When the AKC decided to add Pit Bulls to their rosters, they changed the name to American Staffordshire Bull Terriers.
The first American Staffordshire Bull Terrier was, Petey, from the Little Rascals.
Petey was born a Pit Bull; and was claimed by the AKC, after he was famous.
There's nothing but Pit Bull in the ASBT; with a different name.
Over time the AKC line has deteriorated.
The UKC line doesn't share all the health problems the AKC line has.
The AKC line of American Staffordshire Bull Terriers, is more likely to bite people than the UKC line; but when they bite: they become Pit Bulls again!
The AKC has opened their registry to allow a few Pit Bulls in, which helped the AKC line.
When the UKC changed their standard, to encourage mixing AKC with UKC lines...
My yard was full of Put Bulls; as I had been breeding them for 9 generations.
I quit breeding Put Bulls, found homes for my dogs; and started breeding hybrid dogs to my own standard.
American Bulladors are recognized by the National Hybrid Registry.
But, I have a good enough reputation with dogs; that I don't need to worry about anybody's standards, except my own.
Now I get more for my dogs without papers, than I got for gold ribbon Pit Bulls with papers.
I'm pretty sure, I have the only breeding pairs of American Bulladors, in the Hawaiian Islands; and since it's a newly recognized hybrid... I am setting the standard.
If the NHR changes their standard, I'll change the name of my dog's breed.
Once I got the confidence to being mixing breeds, and selling them for more money than established breeds...
There's no going back.
Beautiful, healthy, old dogs, sell themselves.
I'm breeding for health, obedience, and conformation, in that order; and the only vet bills my dog's ever cost me, was from the dogs my main stud dog beat up.
Colors and markings are nice; but I try not to be influenced by them.
Because, the AKC will disqualify a Great Dane for a spot of gray; and let it breed, with a large list of physical faults showing... which is why Great Danes also live longer in Germany.
If I ever find a breeder who has Rottweilers that live 12 years, I'd love to add them to my line.
If it wasn't for the fact most Rottweilers who live till they're 8, die of cancer before they're 9, I'd have them, or breed them into my line of hybrids.
