Bummed

It's been a while since I've updated, so I decided to do that now.
At the current moment, I'm kicking myself in the ass for not being older than I am. The Foxboro Hot Tubs are playing a show tomorrow in my town, but you have to be 18 or older. The club they're playing at set that standard. Which, I'm quite surprised about, because I saw Green Day in concert when I was 13. And, let me tell you, Green Day is quite a bit more vulgar than Foxboro Hot Tubs. But, whatever. Maybe I'll get a chance in two and half years?
You know, looking forward, two and half years seems like a long way. But, in two and half years when I'm looking back, it's going to seem like it went faster than the blink of an eye.
Life goes by too quickly to worry yourself over insignificant details. Yet, you can't focus on the big picture so much that you forget to have any fun along the way.

Anyway, who was watching the Preakness yesterday? Of course, Big Brown won it. He's one step closer to becoming the next Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978. And there have only been a total of 11 Triple Crown winners in Horse Racing history. So, as you can tell, its quite a bit achievement.
To find out if Big Brown wins it, you'll have to watch the Belmont Stakes on June 7.

Oh, and for those of you who are wondering what the Triple Crown is, Wikipedia has quite a nice article on it.

Also, I've been busy these last few weeks with two new puppies. Thats right, two. We have five dogs now.
Three of which are Jack Russell Terriers.(One is actually a Jack Russell/Feist mix. She's my favorite.) Do you have any idea how much those dogs shed?
We also have a 13 years old Chihauhau, and a Chocolate Lab that weighs probably over 100 pounds.
It's ridiculous around my house.

 

Oh, Wednesday I think I'm finally going to go and take my driving test. I've been able to get my learners permit for over a year and a half now. And, I've had the book for the written test for several months. Isn't that sad? I should have gotten around to it way sooner than now.

Kentucky

Did anyone else watch the Kentucky Derby today? I watched the entire pre-show and all the races before the Derby this morning. Then, at 6:00p.m. when the race came back on, I was watching again.
I happen to love horse racing. If any of you have ever been to the track, you'll know that its really quite exciting and fun. I only got to go once this year, but hopefully next year I can visit more often.
Anyway, I was really cheering for Eight Belles, the only filly in the Derby. 20 horses, and only one is a female. Thats what I call girl power.
 - For those of you that are wondering, a filly is a young female horse(3 years old or younger). A mare is a femal horse over the age of three.

Eight Belles would have been the first filly to win in 20 years. The last filly that won in 1988, Winning Colors, died this February at the age of 23.

Eight Belles placed second after Big Brown. Sadly, she never got to celebrate or be proud of her victory. Right after the race finished, she collapsed on the track and broke both of her ankles. Eight Belles was euthanized in the middle of the racetrack. =,(
And there is the part that I hate about horse racing.

Here are some pictures of the gorgeous Eight Belles.
