Aside from horse stuff, I spent most of the day lazing around and reading. There was a lot that I was supposed to do…I have a lack of direction and ambition lately.
Lizzie’s leg looks a lot better, and she seems to be settling in – she can actually go out in the small paddock and graze a bit, rather than just galloping up and down. I had actually taken the day off today because I had an appointment with the farrier, which he cancelled and changed to Wednesday. *sigh* I have NO idea how I’ll swing that one.
I’m working on a series of html emails for a startup; three different customer personas, with different offers depending on what they’ve bought, or haven’t bought, one for dropped baskets, etc. Ho hum…not what I feel like doing tonight.
Today I saw two eight or ten year old boys riding their bikes along the street, each with a cigarette hanging out of their mouth. I wanted to stop the car, go over and slap them out of their mouths. Of course, even at that age they were probably capable of kicking my ass, so I didn’t. ;)
*sigh* Back to work, enough pissing around on LJ.

I always think that whenever I see young kids smoking. Well, everything except for the “them kicking my ass” part ;)
I have told kids that young not to smoke. I got the expected fuck you, but at least I told them. They should be forced to go to the bodyworks exhibiton and look at smokers lungs. I doubt anyone could kick my ass, much less an 8 year old. I fight dirty *cackles*
Oh! I so know that urge, although, I seriously doubt any kid could kick my ass. *heh* Although, it would be funny to see them try! :) I always figure they probably got the fags from their parents and I’ve heard of parents defending their little darling’s habit before… BIZARRE! (maybe it’s the ‘I can tell my kid off but how dare you!’)
Yay for Lizzie chilling a bit!
Maybe if they got a big gang together and all jumped on you all at once…nah. :) It would be like the thing my dad used to do, where all of us hung off him arms and he lifted us all up and down, no problem. lol…
Hey, those little bastards are mean. :)
I suppose that once there was a sufficient number of them, I’d get pwn3d. Although, judging by some of the fucking headcases I’ve met who are under 10, I’d be lucky to last that long ;)
When I was that age, if anyone ever smoked any stolen cigs it would have been clandestinely, behind a building somewhere – NOT out in public for their parents and everyone to see! Of course, when I was a kid being “bad” would have involved chucking a rock through the window of an abandoned building or something…today they do things like kick old people to death.
Bah, I hate kids.
