As some of you fish experts out there may know, these are called Bettas which are also known as fighting fish. You cant put 2 of em in the same tank, cause theyll kill each other. I didnt really believe that, no you sickos i didnt put em in the same tank to find out... but.. i didnt believe it cause they really dont do anything. These fish are Lazy (note the capital L). Seriously, they dont do a thing, and often i catch them napping on their plants... too lazy to swim even. So, i put their tanks really close together to see if i could get some action out of these two.. and sure enough if they didnt puff up all their fins and what not, and start slamming into the sides of their tanks to try to get to one another. So, now once every few days, i do that to ensure theyre getting their proper excercise (and im getting my proper entertainment). Anyway, i think that there is some market potential for this. I mean, think about all the cash those illegal rooster fights bring in... and you have to spend so much to feed and care for roosters. So, just think, there would be some serious gain in cash just by the small overhead there is in caring for these fuckers. Betta fighting could have some serious economic potential.Betta fish: $4.00
Betta bowl: $5.00
Betta food: $2.00
Betta carnage: Priceless...

Ha ha ha. That's hysterical. My money's on Mortimer (as if I really know which is which). My best friend has a beta named Hermengarde.
Hate to break it to you, but mortimer is the one that ive caught sleeping on his plant. I dont have high hopes for him in the betta fight to the death. But, ill take your money.
;)
How did you find my blog? via the next blog link?
LOL..oh now you're getting random posts too! tho at least yours are really from nice strangers, and not your ex's friends making snarky ass comments about your new partner and how you must still be in love with your ex....god! i might be a little bitter about it...lol
i like your idea of beta fighting, tho i think my idea is better, tho prolly less marketable. wait for it...baby battle dome! that's where i pit my brynstar against other small children, and she kicks the shit out of all of them (coz you know she would!)people could place bets, hell, maybe even get it on pay per view! i'd put my money on bryn EVERY time- you can take the baby out of East Van, but no amount of white priviledge haircuts can take the East Van out of my baby! she's a tough little fucker, and i love it! (and yes, she says east side pride!) lol
now i understand that there may be some people upset by the idea of urging small children to fight. they've obviously never met bryn, coz god knows,"urging" doesn't come into it! it's usually me begging her not to! this is something she does ANYWAYS, so she might as well get paid for it! that way she can save to set up her own tattoo parlour when she's older! (hey, we all have dreams for our children, don't judge mine!) altho darcy really wants her to be the first canadian female olmpic power lifter, so who knows? (she's FREAKISHLY strong!)
and yes people, i'm joking, so no OMG posts on t's blog please! let me know how the fish fighting goes, t.. i'm getting fish for bryn for xmas, so maybe i'll get her some betas! violence is fun to watch! lol
love you sweet girl

im doubting that you need to say "no omg posts". I think we all know that my friends can see the economic oportunity of both betta wars and baby battle dome. I dont have any commies here, just down right all american (and america junior) capitalists.
no children or fish were injured in the making of this post
are you calling canada "america junior" now? oh god, you need to come home! they're getting to you! lol
seriously, in a world that makes soldiers out of 6 year olds and hands them semi-automatic weapons, isn't it ridiculous that people would get offended by the thought of small children bare handed fighting? well, maybe with shovels...i haven't worked out all the details yet! lol let's get some perspective people, think about the war in iraq, or aids in africa, and stop hating on me showing a little entrepenurial spirit! lol hmmmm, maybe the kids should have to dig a pit, THEN fight it out with shovels...hey, it seems to work out just fine for the H.A!
LOL (oh god, any second there's gonna be a knock on my door, with like 12 angry bikers....i LOVE the H.A- civic minded business men, a perfectly legitimate motorcycle enthusiasts organization!) *nervous laughter, followed by the sound of a door being nailed shut* LOL
good times
kat
me being here has nothing to do with me calling canada america junior. Thats something i did long before i got here, it actually came out of some polly sci class where everyone was bashing down the states, being all like "they are all that is evil, and we are so different from them" blah blah blah. Seriously. I waffle from seeing canada as having this crazy strong identity -- you know, beer hockey, curling.. protect canadian culture.. yadda yadda yadda. With the opposite notion that really, the only way canadians derive any national identity is by defining themselves (ourselves) as NON americans. As in, I know who i am, cause im not that. All the while eating the same fast food, playing the same video games, using the same useless disposable goods.. consume consume consume. Anyways.. I hate politcal debates, and really i was just trying to be controvertial, and in the end i ended up pissing myself off.
lol.. I can never win.
i love you! yea, the whole time i was in NZ, we were saying how alike NZ and canada are, and australia and the US. basically how both of us are uneasy with these 2 massive countries having such an impact on us. i acutally explained canadian culture in exactly that way..."the only strong national identity we have is that we're NOT american!" LOL it's all too true!
you know what pisses me off? That americans call processed cheese slices AMERICAN cheese.
Seriously..
lol...like taking something that's (kinda) healthy and processing the shit out of it to make it resemble plastic is something to be PROUD of! lol oh, those crazy yanks! i mean, i love you tiresa, my american friend and treasured neighbour! (please don't bomb me!) hahahhahhah
kat
haha.. yeah right, like the govt here really listens to what their people want. Like governments anywhere do. I think you, and the rest of america junior are safe for the time being.
safe until america decides it'd just be easier to take what they want from us, instead of going through trade relations...hmmm, canada seems to have a lot of fairly unpolluted water...ohhh, and look at all those TREES! hmmmmm..what to do what to do! next thing we know there'll be tanks rolling through whiterock! lol hopefully i'll be living in NZ by then, so if i get invaded, it'll at least be by australians...they have cuter accents! lol
k
t- it's almost 3 am now, and you're off to bed.. just wanted to say thanks for talking to me, talking me through all this shit...i guess it's normal to feel this down right now- just wanted to say thanks- you made me feel a lot better. i love you sweet girl
kat xxxooo

;)

You're gonna have to change your fishies names to La Canadien and Bush if you insist on persuing this US vs Canada debate.
Futhermore I wish I were a television producer. I'd be all over your idea for bare fisted baby fights Kat. It could go on right before Eastside Island, where the downtown homeless battle it out for their ration of drugs and food on their own private island.
Bet that'd buy me a 2 night stay on a couch in California wouldn't it?
CHeryL
cheryl, i adore you...i love it when like minded people all get together and engage in the free exchange of ideas....especially when they're about using the homeless for our entertainment (like that's not what they're there for already!lol), and turning small children into cage match fighters! i love it!
and oak, yes, this blog is all about me and t engaging in the newest and fastest growing internet sport.. simultaenous msn blog back! i'm going to assume that you're only bitter because you haven't played it yet..and as for jesus? god, i wish he weould find me- i wanna have a serious talk with him about some of the shit he allowed his followers to do to me! well...i guess i shouldn't be selfish- they did some pretty bad shit to other people too- the crusades, the CHILDREN"S crusades, the inquisition...yet somehow i don't really care except about the shit that happened to me and mine! i'm selfish and i likes it like that! lol
t, thanks for the ass kicking and all the support! can't wait to open a package from you and have a small fish jump out and savage me! now THAT"S love!
love kat xxx
just curious, cheryl or t, who got the arm tat first?
Hey you! I can't call you.... you can ask Larry about the phone.... email me sarah.acfss@shawbiz.ca
You guys are all fucked.. you do know that right?
And as for asking larry about the phone, it sounds like to me thats a story you need to be telling here on my blog. It sounds juicy. Perfect blog material.
;)
post something new.....i miss hearing about your life- i'm kinda greedy like that. wish you were on msn more in the nights- basically the only time i can be on, when the kids are asleep. oh, but theo might be giving me his old laptop, once he gets it a new harddrive, and then i can have all the net access i want! YAY
love you ,miss you
kat
Wait a second....YOU'RE calling ME fucked?!
In nearly 3 weeks all you give us is FISH? C'mon....shake things up a little woman! Start some ugly rumors around your hood, let some air out of someone's tires... take a dance class! For God's sake, you're letting your readers down!
