Sea Animals are the Best Kind of Animal

So hereaaaaaaaaaaaaaasz's the deal. ( <--Haha, my dog, Shelby just did that! ) Sea animals are awesome. Whether you think the world was created in 6 days by God or 6 billion years by natural forces, you can agree that sea animals are awesome. They are the most unique things out there! I just got back from watching "Oceans" by Disney in the theatres. I thought I'd make a short list of animals I'd like to be. And why I want to be them.

Dolphin: Dolphins are super. They can jump out of the water and do twirls. I think secretly they want to be like us. They are mammals like us and breathe air, and like to be in the air a lot. They are also fast. And agile. They are like the sports car of the marine world.

Whale: Whales are sweet. They are pretty chillaxed most of the time, just lumbering through the water. But they can also jump out of the water and splash down again with amazing intensity. They also eat krill. No one cares about krill. I would want an extra blowhole, but I'd be okay with just one. Oh! I almost forgot, the best thing about whales is their voices! AEEHhheeeaaahhhheeeeaooooaeoeaoooaaaaeeeaeeehehhhhhheeaaaa. That's whale.

Narwhal: Narwhals are flippin awesome. They are the closest thing to a unicorn that you will ever get in nature. It has a huge horn/spiraled spike thing. I would try to spear stuff with it. Maybe make some kababs. It's like dolphin meets porpoise meets whale meets unicorn.

Otters: Otters are otterrific! They are pretty much like people except more awesome. They just hang out and crack oysters on their chests with rocks. And they rub their eyes like people do. And they also do sit ups in the water. It's a strange motion. But their otters, so it's automatically cool. Plus: Otter Pops

Hammerhead Shark: Okay, so normally I wouldn't like being a shark. If I was one, I'd be a nice shark, but those don't really exist. They just seem vicious. But, in the case of a hammerhead shark, I'd be a normal shark that eats stuff. Hammerhead sharks are the shizz. I don't have many reasons to be one other than that they look awesome. I also think they'd have excellent peripheral vision.

Horseshoe crabs: They just lull about and look like they live inside old war helmets.

Walrus: Walrus are wicked cool. The main reason is to have the tusks. Just like in the case of the Narwhal, I'd try to bite big things and look really intimidating. Plus: They are very caring of their young it seems.

One more:
Some kind of Ray: Manta ray, sting ray, whatever ray. They are awesome. They are like the cool jets of the deep. They seem like if they were people they'd be pretty cool. Like a laidback, but motivated cool personality. And they have those cool fin things leading to their mouth.

So I have many more. But this'll have to do for now. Recap: I'd want to be pretty much every kind of sea animal with the exception of sharks (except hammerheads, sawnose sharks, whale sharks, and maybe a mako) and normal fish like tuna and sardines. I would like to be a cool fish, like the one that has legs, or mudskippers, or Zebra Fish or Lion Fish. Or Stone Fish.

So yeah.

Nobody reads these (quite literally). If you do, tell me, so I can delete this sentence. But I wish to know: What are your favourite sea animals?

Godspeed.
Ethan.

Okay. So here's the deal: I search for things quite often. At least every 20 minutes or so. And more often than not, I never find what I'm looking for. Now, I don't know if this stuff from my blog comes up on Google, but here are some things I recently wanted to search for:

How do you open a Library CD security case? Our library here has some fancy ones that open electronically. My mom checked them out, but forgot to take them out of the case.

Why do granola bars always take like 2.5 bites to finish? I hate that. They are very good, but again, there's not much of them. Oh well, they probably aren't very good for me anyway.

Where is Edison Glass? Edison Glass is one of my favourite bands but they haven't been heard from in about a year. They have produced two full length albums...both fantastic: A Burn or a Shiver, and Time is Fiction. But since then, they haven't been heard from. Are they disbanded? Are they dead? Are they (as one fan on the interwebs puts it) in a basement producing a super record? I've contacted Credential Records and am trying to find out about the state of EG's existence. I'll keep you posted. And by you, I mean probably just me, because I don't think people read this.

Well, I'm tired. So I think I'm going to hit the hay as it were.
