Wintry fun at the zoo

So, you know when you wake up and you have no idea what's in store for you. That was my Saturday. We went to grab some breakfast at Denny's and then we heard the magical words... "Detroit Zoo."

Now, this is not a rant about why on earth the zoo is the Detroit Zoo when it is not in Detroit anymore (like everything else "Detroit").

Going to the zoo in the winter may sound crazy but is was really fun. And we walked around until it closed, so like five hours. And I haven't had that much fun in a while.

More so, I was shocked by the animals that were out enjoying the snow. I mean kangaroos, camels and tigers walking around like its the summertime, not too often you get to see that.

What I will say, seeing the zoo in the snow made me want to see it in the summer, when animals are in their natural habitats. Seeing the (and hearing) the tigers in the snow was amazing. And seeing the gorillas play indoors was cool, but there is nothing like seeing gorillas out in the wild.

But I'm really happy for our zoo, it is doing great things and has some amazing exhibits — although I really do wish the reptile house could smell differently. And can't wait to go back this summer.

Ideas

I have this idea that I can write this amazing blog. That it will have a theme and it will be awesome. I 'll constantly be able to keep it updated on this one theme.

And now I think I have the theme. The Blog could my life. As the heading states, my Adventures. My Adventures into the real world, into Corporate America and just all my endeavors.

I think it would be great to write it down so I don't forget it. And I'd be sharing in the same light. However, as this is a blog I would be unwilling to be truthful. What if the wrong person reads it, what if they find out how I really feel?

Changing names doesn't really change the event. I went with so and so the the park Friday. And if I say so and so was a bore, and they read my blog, they know it was about them. How can I write my life to share without infringing on those around me.

They are reasons we aren't always honest with others, they can't handle it. But its really effecting my personal creative outlets. I have so many ideas to make this a fun blog. And I guess I could only write the positive things, however, its not real then.

If I leave out my personal commentary and the negative things in my life, you will never get to know me and why I think. It won't be my blog. It wouldn't even be my ideal. It's some horrible attempt of me caring all too much about others instead of doing what is good for me (i.e. my everyday life).

So hopefully, I will continue to share my adventures and make this blog into what it could be; my adventures in this "Brave New World."

They Way They Were

Things will never be like the used too. Telling that to someone older is impossible. Because everything has changed but they fail to admit it. It's worse than teaching an old dog a new trick, because the old dog listens and doesn't get upset.

I mean its not like things were ever good back in the day, I don't understand why we continue to try and hold onto that little piece of nostalgia, that when you were a kid everything was great. I'm aware that its not. I just wish people weren't so jaded.

Moreover, I just wish people could be even tempered, being a hot head is not cool. It's so not productive and it just hurts everyone around them. But they never know that. They don't care. It's all about them. It's not like its all about me.

I would never want it that way. I just want peaceful conversation. You the kind that leads to results not the kind that go:

"I'm a Democrat."

"Well I'm a Republican."

"We can never agree under any circumstances."

Is it too much to as for courteous conversation?
