Chupacabras


So, I'm just enjoying myself here, because my Internet is semi working for once, so I'm posting random things on my blog. So.

Here we go.

Chupacabras. Or El Chupacabra. Are you famliar with them? They're called the "goat-suckers," and are known for sucking out the insides of various living creatures. Pleasant, yes?

They're cryptids, and they supposedly attack livestock and drain them of blood, apparently through a series of small circular inscisions. The first reported attack was in 1995, though a series of similar livestock deaths were recorded in 1795, though the deaths were attributed to "El Vampiro de Moca."

Ooo! Animal vampires! I'm a fan.

But. Anyhow. My point in talking about chupacabras is actually just to show some pictures. So. Descriptions vary, and a whole bunch of diseased coyotes have been mistaken for chupacabras, which is kind of sad, because diseased coyotes are not cool at all... And I'm a fan of cryptids, you know? But not diseased coyotes. Anyhow.

The Wikipedia picture (and most of what I just said is from Wikipedia) is the one up in the corner. The little alienish looking guy. Nice spines, am I right? Here are some more:














Ooo. There's a dead/dying sheep here.







And now we have a dead goat... or cow... or something.
AND THIS ONE HAS WINGS!!!

I like the little batty fellow, don't you? Anyhow. As you can see, chupacabras do not necessarily keep to one description. No lie. But. My very favorite one, which is really kind of creepy looking, is this one:




DUDE! THEIR HEADS ARE SKULLS!!! IT'S SO COOL!!

Anyhow. This one here is a kind of creepy picture. Because they look kind of like really skinny, really wacked out versions of hyenas, and I can't quite tell if their heads are the skulls... or if their heads are inside the skulls... Crazy stuff, I tell you.


Anyhow. I just thought that I would share my little chupacabra moment with you. Because... I don't even know. And I want to use creatures like the hyena ones, but I wouldn't call them chupacabras.

And... That's about it.

Another Random Poem

Okay, so this was another of those random poems... And I wrote this one at 1:30 Sunday morning because I was really bored and not entirely there... Yeah. And I think it's just titled "Words Are."

Words are
Hard to find
Harder to catch
Sitting
Too hard
Not to stare blankly
Glazed eyes
Looking, watching
Something?
Nothing
Taptaptap
Fingers on a keyboard
Late at night
Too late
Think of something to write
Flow
Mind to fingers
Fingers to keys
Keys to page
Story…
Music playing
Inspiration
Words come
Fast, slow
Yes, no
Words come
Type, click
Word
Black on white
Graceful words
Sharp words
Short words
Long words
Write the words
They tell stories
Sitting
Staring blankly again
What to write…
Listen
To nothing
Nothing tells you
What to write
Write it well
Nothing tells you
So you write
Fingers, keys
Mind, page
Conduit
Open a pathway
Let the words come
Don’t force them
Black on white
Flowing words
Cut words
Dark words
Light words
Stare into nothing
Find the answers
Write the questions
Know the words
Remember the words
Words are
Everything?
Nothing
Know the words
Teach
Listen
Learn
Teach
Simple
Complex
Find the answers
Write the questions
Not hard
Never easy
Write
Stare into nothing
Write
Fingers, mind
Keys, pages
Fill the whiteness
Words
Tell a story
Write
Know a story
Stare
And find everything
Only in the words
Words are
What you make them


And that's about how it goes.
