Why I Despise Horses...
Hello everyone! How are you? I found out today I have the opportunity next weekend to perform for Thomas More University's incoming students and their families. I'm very excited because it's going to be my 3rd college gig, and the following week I will be doing a DVD taping with Thor Ramsey!
Tomorrow, I will be substitute teaching for Vet Science. They actually meet at the Humane Society, which will bring back quite a few memories for me, because my first job was in an animal shelter. I got bit so many times, but the worst experience was probably when I had to walk a doverman right after it had been spayed. It was insane!
Oh yeah, I've been telling this story a lot lately, so I might as well tell it here. People always ask me why I don't like horses. It goes back to my experience at Camp Kern back when I was a 4th grader. Our school went, and gave us the option if we wanted to ride a horse, it was an extra $5. So thinking it would be so awesome, I chose to do so. I ended up getting on this horse named Pride. The horse seemed fine at first. About 40 feet later it kept bending over to eat grass, and not following the guide. She kept telling me to pull it's reigns up. A puny 4th grader like I was, I couldn't muscle enough strength up to do so. Finally, she gets off her horse and comes over to mine, and smacks it upside the head. It went about 40 feed uncontrollably, and then bent over to eat more grass. The guide came running up, and then I said to her, "Mam, if you're going to hit him again, can I get off first?!?" It was like the day before my birthday, and I almost didn't make it. So ever since then I've steered clear of horses.
Doing pretty well with this life-style change. Thank you guys for your continued support!
In Christ,
