Willie Nelson: Dog's Best Friend

Willie Nelson, an avid animal lover, has teamed up with the organization Best Friends Animal Society to make the above PSA on anti-dogfighting in Georgia. Although animal cruelty is a felony in the state of Georgia, dogfighting rings are still rampant and Georgia's laws are extremely weak regarding this disgusting activity. Thank you, Willie, for speaking out against dogfighting in our beautiful state! Hopefully dogfighting legislation will become much stricter in all 50 states.

The Story of a Dog Named Gypsy

If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men. ~St. Francis of Assisi

She was found on the side of a road, abandoned and dying from her wounds. The flesh was practically rotting off her face and her leg was severely infected. She was the obvious loser of a vicious dogfight and had been disposed of much the same as an empty beer bottle....discarded like trash....

A team of compassionate and dedicated veterinarians and technicians saved her life...treated her wounds...performed crucial surgery on her...comforted her...loved her... They named her Gypsy. Gypsy had probably never felt human hands stroke her or caress her lovingly. She had probably never received proper vet care. No human voice had ever soothed her troubled soul until after her horrible fate. This precious life was not wasted, however, for her will to survive against the odds made her strong in heart and spirit. Because she lay on the side of the road struggling to stay alive, an angel rescued her. Because she wagged her tail at the sound of a saviour's voice although she had suffered horrific cruelty at the hands of a monster, she touched the hearts of many. And through all the pain and torment of treatment and therapy, this special dog maintained her sweet nature. Cast away because she was a lover instead of a fighter, she in turn fought the greatest struggle of her life and prevailed over the deepest cruelty and death itself.

Gypsy the pit bull is testament to the will to survive and the power to forgive. If her story doesn't touch you, then I have nothing in common with you.

Art Thieves

My friend, Nadia (aka FrenchLady) at DeviantArt has become the victim of a cowardly troll. Nadia has a beautiful collection of erotic photography, including many self-portraits, that she has been posting over the last few months. Sadly, after just those same few months, Nadia's work is being stolen and advertised as stock photos on this loser's gallery. This kind of theft of someone else's heart-felt expression of the soul is ABOMINABLE. DeviantArt is a network of wonderful artists and writers who share, critique, and sell art. Almost everyone there is respectful and sincere with the exception of little dipshits like this one. If anyone here has a DeviantArt account (I know some of you do), please watch out for: THIS THIEVING BASTARD. (warning - ADULT CONTENT)...

In the meantime, to honor my friend and her work, I have posted her photo "Feet Fetish I" above. And again, her gallery can be found HERE. We will fight this coward together!!!

Kentucky Wildcats - 13...GEORGIA BULLDOGS - 24

On another note, Tennessee squeaked by Vandy 25 - 24. Damn. I know Butterfly is cheering all the way up in Bluff City!

Bear by Popular Demand.....

Because he's raw, sexy and wild....and Butterfly wants to see MORE of him....I give you MORE Bear Grylls!

Bloody Assassins...

Because I ADORE assassins, guns and international conspiracy, I am so excited about the upcoming film Hitman, starring Timothy Olyphant as Agent 47. This movie is actually based on a video game by the same name, but its dark turns and twists are quite riveting, as well as the intrigue of Agent 47 and his mission. More info on the movie can be found HERE. The movie premieres on November 21st, same day as The Mist.

Blackout Saturday

The intensity and emotion could not have set a better stage yesterday at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia. Blackout Saturday was a smashing success, and the Dawgs trounced Auburn 45 - 20. Knowshon Moreno and Thomas Brown together picked up almost 180 net yards rushing, working as a hard-running, leg-churning steamrolling machine on the ground. These two outstanding players (pictured above) roused the fans and the team into a force that Auburn couldn't overcome. Hopefully all this incredible momentum will lead us to yet another victory against the Kentucky Wildcats next week. Dogs vs. Cats.....why shouldn't we win?

DeviantArt Update

I have been updating my DeviantArt gallery all along as I experiment and capture life with the lens. The above piece is titled "Ceremony", based on an Edward Gorey poem. Please check out more of my work HERE. Also look at my Favorites gallery, where you can find more wonderful artwork from some of my friends and artists I admire.

Akira to Bagheera - For anyone who cares....

Just a little clarification here for my friends who post with me elsewhere on various sites....On almost all other sites I am known as Akira in some form or another (AkiraBlue, AkiraGrrl, Akira605). Here I am known as Bagheera. I'm not schizophrenic (that I know of), I just have my reasons for creating a blogspot account under Bagheera. That's all.

SILK'S Wet Dream...

I don't know why I haven't made a Georgia-Florida post before now...I guess I really am autistic. On October 27, 2007, the Georgia Bulldogs showed up in Jacksonville, Florida and proceeded to kick Gator ass all over the freaking field. Knowshon Moreno (watching this guy run brings back memories of #34 himself...Hershel Walker) racked up 33 carries and 188 yards in this splendid game. The final score? Georgia 42 Florida 30. Thanks to SILK (a former UGA basketball player), I have been privy to the above video many, many times at work today... GOOOOOOOOO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Please pay close attention to Trinton Sturdivant's (#77 - Offensive Tackle) little shimmy close to the end. You cannot miss it, being that it gets a yellow Madden-style circle to highlight it... I think the "Sturdivant" will become the next big move myself...
