I had a bunch of stuff to say and now I'm just too busy in my head to think of what to write.
I will be adding more to this blog as time goes, mainly new aquarium pics.
Why I'm so busy is because I'm flying out to Chile for the week. I'm not sure if I'll have any sort of Internet conn while I'm there so I'm just blogging this now. Hopefully between tonight and tomorrow, I'll have a bit of time to comment on everyone else's new blogs.

So I'm no longer on FB anymore. I used to go on there and talk to several friends but I only had it to talk to one person and one day, I just didn't want to be friends anymore because she didn't know how to treat me with proper respect. Those of you who know me most know that I...well, lets just say I take very good care of my female friends, both in good times but especially in bad. This person is a tattooed girl but not a SG, but looks down on SG. But, all of the other people I talked to on there, they all have my RL info like email, cel phone, etc. or know me on SG anyway. It's part of a new resolution, a new inner resolve, that whenever someone tries to treat me like crap, basically they will lose me instantly. I'm way, way too good to ever be treated that way and to be really real, it's their big loss.
Like I said a couple journals ago, it's a change in personality.
Now that blowup also occurred in a chain with several others to the point where I thought all of the good friends I had on SG were not actually as close with me as I thought they were. Like every single one...sorry but again I'm going to be real. Lately, all I can do is sing out loud the (I once thought) cheesy Red Hot Chili Peppers song, Under The Bridge. I even bought myself the guitar tab book so not only could I read the lyrics and music, but I can learn to play the song.
~Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
~Sometimes I feel like my only friend
~Is the city I live in, the City of Angels
~Lonely as I am, together we cry
~I drive on her streets cuz she's my companion
~I walk through her hills cuz she knows who I am
~She sees my good deeds and her kisses are windy
~I never worry; now that is a lie
Those lyrics are just way too true...
(Too many people are just away or do things to make me feel like I'm...worthless. I am anything but. )
I really do just cure myself driving around, playing music in my car on the BOSE system, buying comics and seeing cool shit near me. Further below is one said trip's worth of pics. Hope you like them! Unlike my pink and hopeful friends here, I can't post pics of myself nekkid to get you guys happy, lol.
However, nothing is always all bad. Things are getting better. Time passes and I heal a little. There are still some people I should just remove who are in my life somehow and not being a positive influence. But, there is one new friend I have made, my "new favorite pen pal. " You know who you are. <3
So that's that...here are the pics! I also made some new gifs I hope you guys like. The gif making process has gotten a lot easier now that I have Lightroom but I need to learn that software way more...right now I'm only taking advantage of the bulk import/export feature that allows me to edit photos in a batch, at least in terms of reducing them down to gif frame size.
Aquarium 2012
Less pics than before as I only like to take pics of new stuff. The cool thing is every time I go, there's always significantly more new stuff!
Cool lil box fish. Never seen it before in all the trips I've been in the past.
Frog on frog action. They're both looking at me.
Worms.
New pic of this frog buddha.
Baby hammerhead.
Just something cool looking and new.
The outdoor touch tanks, one of them had all new creatures...horseshoe crabs.
I used to collect shells beachcombing exotic places or finding them when diving/snorkeling. But I never saw something alive like this. It helps keep the tank clean.
Two pair...reminds me of Goodfellas. Anyone know why?
Always these guys huddling together.
Had a lot of fun at the bird cage area this time. The birds were hungry and aggressive.
Nice look at the textured feathers.
These two guys were fighting, one kicked the other in the head.
Made a new friend on the way out.
Giant shrimp guy in the dark...pardon the flash.
Which do you like better?
The top pic is au naturel, the bottom one is level-adjusted in Photoshop. I think the actual tank that day looked like the top one. The funny thing is we were encouraged to touch all of the other guys in this tank except this guy who bites. Did you know in Japan, left eye flounders are considered delicious for sushi; right eye ones, like this guy, taste muddy and are much more common in the sea?
Gifs
Last time there was one poor doggy, this time there were two, friends! Except every moment was like this.
Good stuff!
A new version of last year's jellyfish gif.
Baby seahorses!
Everyone's got that one molester uncle...leave them chicks alone.
New version of last year's red jellyfish gif.
Hope it was entertaining! Maybe you guys one day can visit me in LA and I'll take you here.

By the way, I didn't mention in my other comment, but I like the jellyfish a lot, too.
