I have recently become the owner of two new (well actually used... but
new to me) "leopards". That's right, I said LEOPARDS!!! I know what
you're thinking,"They'll kill him... Where will he keep those things!
Leopards!?!?!". Yes I know you're worried but it's true, I have two new
(used) leopards in my home. Let me explain.
The first leopard I got while I was on tour. A drummer from the band "
This Beautiful Republic"
(an AWESOME band Im in love with now) was selling one. He had only
owned it for about 6 months I think and had bought another similar
breed so he was selling this one. For those of you who might not know,
I had been wanting one of these for over a year now, especially when I
found out they came in smaller sizes. A week before I left on tour I
actually went to the store and tried to buy one but I didn't have
enough money, so this deal was off, until now. I told him to wait for a
day and I would pray about it and the following day, I went for it!!!
It came with its original box was practically brand new! No scratches
nothing... flawless.
So wait before I show you this thing, let
me tell you about my next purchase. This one was actually FREE. Yeap
FREE!!! Again, while I was on tour, my wife calls me. She says that
this weird animal is outside our house crying and stuff. She opened the
door and it came in and she shoved it out with a broom. She was all
freaked out! See we live out by a lake so there are alot of wild
animals always runnin around. Well, she left to work and then came back
home for lunch. After she came inside she heard it again! She went out
the back door this time and snuck up on it and sure enough it was a
leopard! She let it in our house and called her mom over to check it
out. It didnt tear anything up or do anything crazy. Her mom finally
got brave and picked it up only to find out that it had been DECLAWED
in the front and NEUTERED. Crazy right... well that pretty much meant
it had a previous owner or something. She ended up keeping it overnight
in our home and then waited a few weeks to see if anyone said they lost
this thing or it escaped from somewhere. By the time I got back we
still hadnt heard anything yet so we took it to the vet and sure enough
they said it was a leopard! Well really they said it was an Asian
Leopard mixed with a domesticated house cat... or a Bengal!!!
So check out both of my new, previously owned, LEOPARDS!!!
A
new 13' Unibody MacBook with Leopard Operating System X installed and
my free Bengal Asian Leopard house cat! Cool huh? That's right two new
(previously owned) Leopards in my home as we speak. I know, I know, I
led you on... but I couldn't resist!
I've
always wanted a MacBook and thanks to my new buddy Cameron I got one.
The Bengal is a "wish list item" as well. A few years ago we went to a
friends house and we drooled all day over his Bengal house cat. It was
soo beautiful but I couldnt afford the $1000 price tag. So for it to
just show up at my house is crazy. We think someone might have let it
go out in the wild since we live far out and we have alot of military
people moving in and out our neighborhood when they get called for
duty. Either way we havent seen any newspaper ad's or lost cat posters
so I guess he's officially ours.
The only thing left do now is
name them... I usually name my computers (yea Im a geek!) and I think I
have a name for the cat. They are both "he's" so I think I will name
the MacBook "Kitty Kitty" and the cat "OSX" (pronounced: OhhEsssTin). I
mean hey why not?
