I Love Penguins

 

I was having a bad day. I closed my browser, and this guy shows up on my screen. It's the daily picture Microsoft shows you. I took one look at him and thought, yeah today will get better. Just looking into the eyes of this penguin made me feel better. I don't know why. But it was like he was saying "You've got this!" I took it to heart.

Penguins are my spirit animal, I swear. When they mate, they mate for life. That's always been my thought process of marriage. Stick with who you are married to forever. Forever is a long time, so make sure it's right.

The males watch over the egg while the females go and hunt. I find this very interesting. Sometimes the males aren't mature enough and they let the egg die, which is very sad. But it happens.

Life has an interesting way of telling us we're alive. Sometimes it's through pain, sometimes it's through a picture. Either way, we understand and get that we are living to some degree. I wish life were black and white somedays. I think it would be easier if it were. Just simple yes or no will get you through a day. There's not much else you can do, just yes or no. I think that would make things very interesting. Don't you?

Speaking of interesting, I need to write a book. I haven't written a book in ages. Maybe a book about penguins. A short story perhaps. Nothing too crazy or wild. I mean they are my favorite animal. A flightless bird who just scoots on its tummy to get places. Or waddles. Oh have you seen them waddle? They are so freaking cute!

If it were actually doable, I would have a penguin as a pet. But well, you know how that is. Not possible. A house is no place for a penguin. There just isn't the right temperature and it's not the right environment for them. A shame really. But if it doesn't work it doesn't work.

In my new place, when I get one, I am totally getting a picture of a penguin to put up. That or Moopsy. (Yeah don't ask about Moopsy, it won't end well.) Either way I will have a cool picture up and it will be mine.
