Breaking the Cycle of Life
by It's never an ordinary day at the beach. Last year it was birds, this year fish. Vanessa Porrino, Lauren Diaz, and I were just walking along minding our own business when this seagull decided to take a monster fish (I'm talking about a HUGE fish) out of the water and try to eat it. The three of us ran at the bird screaming bloody murder which caused it to drop the now bleeding yet still breathing fish and fly away. Of course, now we have the problem of a fish out of water. We're nice girls so we decide to bring it back to it's home. We're also GIRLS. We wanted to save it without touching it in any way. With the biggest sea shells in our hands we proceeded to lift it up and start carrying it to the water. We didn't get very far before we dropped it. Some of it's pretty shiny thingies dropped off, but it was still breathing! We decided to make another attempt. Vanessa couldn't find a good place to grab it from, so Lauren just grabbed it's tail and started dragging it towards the water. Big mistake, it got sand in it's gills that way. However, it was still breathing, so we lifted it with our shells again, and this time got it in the water! The water pushed it back onto the sand though. Hmph. Another attempt of that and the dragging found the fish still out of water. Lauren and Vanessa gave the shell carrying thing one more try, and got it deep enough in the water this time. Hurrah! We were too late though. It was still breathing..but it sure wasn't swimming. We were just too slow.

the poor thing probably would've been happier being eaten! im gonna have to sick the ASPCA on ya!
hahaha... you shouldve just let the seagull eat it. that way they wouldve left me alone. why did there have to be a million little girls dropping potato chips ALL over the place all day attracting all the seagulls? you know they don't like me anyway
havent you had the aspca after you for killing them?
Yea, really...At least they didn't throw a tennis ball at the bird, and KILL IT!
To make the birds go away yesterday I tried a different technique, less physically harmful to the birds but perhaps more emotionally/mentally harmful...yelling, screaming, and waving my arms around like the crazy person that I am.
Scare tactics are fine...It's the physical things that aren't good...Like throwing rocks and tennis balls and actually trying to hit the birds.
enuff out of you jen
whatchu gonna do about it?? Throw something at me, and try to kill me?
that was cold jen. and unnecesary. and maybe i will!

and for those who dont know... amy ALSO kissed matt full on the mouth.. hahahahhahahahaha.... sooo great... aww matt.. sooo CUTE!
bwahahahahahaha
Matt, I'm so hurt. How could you do this to me?? I thought our relationship was special
thats the stupidest thing i've ever heard. you tried to save a fish from a seagull? next thing you'll be telling us is that you chase chipmunks away from acorns.
Thats what YOU say until the girls save you from the purple people eaters...
i'm thinkin' the sons of zebedee are smackin' themselves in the foreheads watching u guys...'and that's why we never took our wives fishin'
hahahaha i liked that you clarified "we're also GIRLS" hahaha so funny
i definitely can't miss any more beach days.
From what i read you just basically commited DOUBLE HOMICIDE in the eyes of the ASPCA. Not only did you kill the fish by not quickly placing it back into the water but you also killed the bird by taking away it's food and causing starvation. how can you look in the mirror ?
