The Darker Side of Butterflies

There is one. They just flutter about and land lightly on lilies, mocking you. They think they're just so perfect and beautiful, but they're not.... I just realized that on the post options bar, there is no underline. That's weird. Maybe they're trying to get people to actually italicize. Wow. Who are they though. "They" is sort a vague word. It really could mean any group of people or - in its more commonly thought-to-be-the-correct-use meaning - anyone...whoa. That was a bit off subject. Hmm. Well, I've gotten this far off, I guess I'll banter on about nothing more. Like lettuce. Or bears. Black bears. I like black bears. They're cool. I saw one just last week in the zoo, three in fact. Ooo, you know what's a creepy musical? "Little Shop of Horrors." I saw it with my sister awhile ago (crap, my sister is some how related to this and my last blog, that needs to end). I was scared. There's a giant plant. It eats people. Alive. Well, the first one wasn't alive, but he was still chopped up and that's gross. Really gross. Eww. Oh yeah, bears. Black bears. Actually I'll go on about lions. And buffalo. And crocodiles. They're all cool too. Why all of them? 'Cause I was watching "Weird, True, and Freaky" (the title really didn't fit this episode) and there was this herd of water buffalo, just chillin', and these three buffalo - a mom, dad, and baby - wandered off. They ran into a pride of lions that chased 'em down and caught the baby buffalo. Now, they were by a watering hole and, when the lioness caught the buffalo, both of them were flung into the water. The the pride of 5 or 6 lions was trying to drown the poor thing, and suddenly a crocodile comes up and grabs the baby buffalo. The two grassland predators fought in a bloody tug o' war and the lions won after a few suffering minutes. Then as the lions pulled the poor thing out, the herd of buffalo came back. They surrounded the lions and a couple went after the felines, one buffalo even threw a lion into the air (don't worry it landed on its feet...kind of). Finally, the lions gave up and left. The battered little buffalo was very shaken, but got right up and walked back to the herd. According to the show, the ranger who saw this, went back the next day and found no dead buffalo baby, so it must have survived; the little dickens. Anywho, you're probably expecting some corny moral to this story, but all I can say is "lucky little dude with a will to survive and fortune on its side." Or something like that.
