So, the first set of "Cool" Facts I'm posting is about monkeys, for my little sister.
So, here goes: Did you know that when monkeys yawn it's sometimes because they are tired, and sometimes because they are mad?
The orangutan is the largest fruit-eating animal in the world and it rarely comes out of the trees.
All monkeys like to be clean so they have a barber monkey clean out their fur. The barber monkey's payment is the bugs in its customer's hair.
Gross huh boo? Lol. Here's the link :http://mrevolutionmaster.tripod.com/id4.html Thank you!
Next, how about CATS!
Groups of kittens are “kindles,” while groups of adult cats are “clowders.”
Cats weigh an average of 12 pounds. The heaviest cat on record weighed nearly 47 pounds. The lightest was one pound, eight ounces.
Cats will spend about a third of the day grooming. The process is helped along by the backwards-facing spikes on their tongues. Now you know why it feels like being rubbed with sandpaper when they lick you.
Thank you to : http://www.bigpawdesigns.com/funfaabca.html For this info, check out more fun facts about cats there!
And now, a couple of fun facts about, MY favorite, dolphins!
They can jump up to 20 feet above water!
The dolphin can live to be 50 years old!
Their brain is bigger than the monkey!
They have 100 teeth!
Thanks to : http://library.thinkquest.org/J002260F/DolphinsFun%20Facts.htm!
Dad,
I Love and miss you, Everyday your gone I know is a day closer to you being home where you belong, Stay safe and hurry home! Missing my cowboy dad.

The worlds smallest
Tonight I'm doing my blog later than usual, most of my friends are offline so I'm multi tasking.
So, tonight I'm going to tell a little bit about the worlds SMALLEST animals! Maybe even the worlds largest.
At 1.4 pounds and 4.9 inches tall, Ducky, a yappy short-coat Chihuahua from Charlton (Massachusetts, USA), holds the Guinness World Record for the world's smallest living dog (by height). Ducky succeeds Danka Kordak of Slovakia, a Chihuahua who measured 5.4 inches tall. The smallest dog ever, according to Guinness, was a dwarf Yorkshire terrier who stood 2.8 inches tall.
Leptotyphlops carlae is the world's smallest species of snake, with adults averaging just under four inches in length. Found on the Caribbean island of Barbados, the species --which is as thin as a spaghetti noodle and small enough to rest comfortably on a U.S. quarter-- was discovered by Blair Hedges.
On January 2006, the world's smallest fish was discovered on the Indonesian island of Sumatra: a member of the carp family of fish, the Paedocypris progenetica. It is the world's smallest vertebrate or backboned animal; only 7.9 mm (0.3 inches) long.
The title, however, is contested by 6.2 mm (0.2 in) long male anglerfish Photocorynus spiniceps (not technically a fish but a sexual parasite) and the 7 mm (0.27 in) long male stout infantfish Schindleria brevipinguis.
The little horse was born to Paul and Kay Goessling, who specialize in breeding miniature horses, but even for the breed Thumbelina is particularly small: she is thought to be a dwarf-version of the breed. At just 60 lb and 17-inch tall, the five-year-old Thumbelina is the world’s smallest horse
Thats just four of what this amazing site :http://www.oddee.com/item_96492.aspx Had posted, check it out! It even provided pictures of the animals! Its pretty neat!
So, the largest?
Say hello to this gargantuan specimen named Hercules, purportedly the Guinness Record holder for World's Biggest Dog. Hercules is an English Mastiff and has a 38 inch neck and weighs 282 pounds.
With "paws the size of softballs", the three-year-old monster is far larger and heavier than his breed's standard 200lb. limit. Hercules owner Mr. Flynn says that Hercules weight is natural and not induced by a bizarre diet: "I fed him normal food and he just grew, and grew, and grew”.
Radar, a Belgian draught horse, is the World’s Tallest Living Horse. This huge horse, at 6ft 71/2in from hoof to shoulder, is from Mount Pleasant, Texas. At 2,400lb, he has a giant appetite to match, putting away 20 gallons of water a day and 18lb of grain.
As big as a small elephant, Big Cow Chilli and he's described as a gentle giant. Chilli the giant bullock stands at 6ft 6ins and weighs well over a ton. Despite his grand stature, Chilli only grazes on grass during the day and enjoys the occasional swede as a treat.
The Liaoning Provincial Agricultural Museum is appealing to the Guinness Book of Records to recognise a 900 kg (1984 pounds) pig which died on February 5 as the biggest pig ever. When the pig died it was 2.5 metres long, had a waistline of 2.23 metres and a tusk of 14.4 centimetres long. According to XU Changjin, a farmer of Wafangdian city, the pig was only 5 years old. He kept his pig in a good built sty and gave it quality food all its life.
those were only four of 9 of the largest animals, thanks to : http://www.oddee.com/item_96634.aspx For providing 9 and pictures!

The World’s Skinniest Woman Is American, Eats Junk Food Every 15 Minutes
Congrats, America. We all may be fat, but we're also home to Lizzie Velasquez, the Texas woman who weighs only 60 pounds. and must eat every 15 minutes to stay alive thanks to a rare condition she's had since birth. For some reason Velasquez, a 20-year-old communications student, has become a media sensation in Britain, which has covered her story extensively in recent days.Check out the rest of her story here: http://gawker.com/5575466/the-worlds-skinniest-woman-is-american-eats-junk-food-every-15-minutes

Careers as teens
As we all know the times are changing and the laws go with it.
More and more teens are being hired at places such as Pizza Hut and McDonald's.
This is great for us teens, it teaches us responsibility and about money and savings.
As is stands, being a young writer I feel, amazed to be "Working" this young. Although, if I were working at such places as I had listed, it would yes make me feel responsible, but not as much as I do now.
Even more what amazes me, is how teens are getting jobs like me, being famous for what they do.
Acting,writing and singing. So many teenagers are doing those things, because yes they are good at it.
Why do THEY do it? Most of the time? Its for money and fame. So many people, in acting and singing start out way young, im talking from as young as five, sometimes younger.
Once they hit their mid teen years they start letting it go to their heads. They start buying drugs with their money. They start singing and acting ONLY because they know THEY can cause drama in the media and EVERYONE will watch it.
Also there are more teen PARENTS now days. It's everywhere, your cousin, your daughter, your sisters and neighbors are getting pregnant at earlier ages. TWELVE being the youngest I've heard SO far. Yeah, TWELVE! Your children are learning this, from you, your friends, their friends, their teachers, television, and music. It's pretty ridiculous.
I LOVE kids, always have and always will, I would NEVER even have it be a possibility to have kids, as a teen! It's hard, and then you can't go to college and get great jobs. If you do get lucky enough to make it to college, often times you drop out within the first semester because, you can't raise a child AND go to school, AND work (Let's face it, college, new baby you have to work) All at the same time!
Careers for teens....Yeah, there's a problem.... You see teens should work, they COULD possibly get into great jobs rather young, only.....The problem again with drugs, and even underage sex (Which leads to teenaged parents often times) The jobs go to their heads. Why? Their parents are the problem 99% of the time. Children now days are, being fed, bathed, given a bed to sleep on, school and thats about it.
SO many kids aren't even getting that! You hear more and more every day of a new kid killed by their supposed mom or dad. It's sick to hear, yet we have to hear it everyday. Parents who DO let their kids live, often times just DON'T CARE how they are raised. Therefore, underage drinking, sex and drugs are the result.
Well, I've rambled enough, here's a few poems for my dad......
Fighting A war.
The day's all pass in suspicion and fear when you aren't near.
I miss hearing your soft whispered tone by my ear.
I can still feel your touch even when we're half a world apart.
I know you have to fight, I know you see the ugly sights, Still you have my heart.
The Nights I lie awake and think about the war going on.
It's like a head banging rock song.
The singer knows the words, the audience is left to wonder what it is that is being sang so loud.
I know you know the words we speak, I know the things, you shouldn't have to see, Still I am So Very Proud.
I know the day, you arrive in peace, You will stand beside me and rest finally.
The day we get to hold each other tight I know we will finally get some sleep.
What you sing so loud and clear, is like a slow country song, the words mean everything, the singer means more.
Tomorrow is another day, you have to play.
With your big army guns and your missiles and more, The water you get comes from the shore.
You never would have thought A little boy playing in mud and muck would end up fighting a war.
You never would have thought that, playing with that water gun, would end up fighting in the sandbox.
Its not a pretty sight, the things that you fight for, I know that one day, you will be home.
Safe.
Forever.
Until That Day, I want you to know, everything about you, makes my heart glow.
Everything you do, for me and this country, I appreciate the sacrifices you make.
Each and every day.
Fighting a war, you shouldn't have to fight.

Love is sweet, Love is real.
I know the sweet way that I feel.
I have had many loves until a special one came along.
I never knew true love, it never lasted for long.
I know the way I'm supposed to feel.
I know what I am supposed to hear.
Now I'm done looking now I don't care.
I have the one I need right here.
I can feel your breath on my neck, I can hear you tell me It'll all be okay.
When I need a body guard I know you'll be right here.
When I need a soul mate I know you are mine.
I know this may sound crazy.
I know this may be weird.
But what I am about to say comes from the bottom my heart, the heart that you have.
You are my best friend.
You are my soul mate.
You have my heart.
You can take my soul.
I want you now.
I want you tomorrow.
I want you as long as god will let me have you.
I love you sweet.
I love you slow.
You make me complete.
You make me glow.
Love is sweet, Love is real.
~Faith Rose~
Dad,
I love and miss you and I can't wait for the day your home, I can't wait to see your face when you read my books, I can't wait for the day you finally get to adopt us! I love you my hero dad

GREAT NEWS!
Well, I made my word count goal which I thought I'd NEVER make. Better news is, tomorrow my book will be complete.
I worked SO hard to get this far, I wouldn't have had to work as hard if I would have known it would be so hard to write a book in thirty days, I wouldn't have been on my gaming site. I have missed my friends, I'm sure they have missed me as well, doing this book has been so important to me.
It's possibly my career, this book could be my start. The beginning of a long, joyful amazing career. I LOVE writing, let me tell you something, doing this book in thirty days has been a PAIN IN MY BUTT!
Not because I don't love it, I DO trust me, but for the beginning of the month I was pretty much non existent when it came to my mind being on my "job".
I can't wait to see my name in print, to hold a book in my hands that I wrote. I can't wait to see my mom and dads faces when they finish reading my book.
I can't wait to read my book and ENJOY it, as if someone else wrote it. Grandpa is working with me on designing my book cover, mom helped me come up with the IDEA of the cover, the hardest part was left up to me, writing a 25,000 word book or bigger in one month.
Dad,
I love and miss you, you'd better stay safe. Remember we're waiting your return, remember on Christmas WE LOVE you and we're thinking about you. Remember when the times get tough, I'm proud of you. I can't wait to have you home. I miss your hugs and jokes. You are an amazing man, I LOVE YOU! Your a true hero, your a true dad.
Anyone can be a father, it takes a real, special man to be a dad. You are my perfect dad.
Faith.

Christmas is coming
I know a lot of people won't believe in this post, so before I start, I warn grandma, you won't like it.
Now, here we go. This time of year is the time to be thankful for everything you have and know that the things you don't have isn't a worry.
Thanksgiving is about giving love and food and things people need so badly like clothing. The material of things isn't what the holidays are about, and yes religion is part of it, but not enough to ACTUALLY NOT celebrate it. Now every person has their own belief on Christmas and so fourth. But is religion a STRONG enough thing to keep the family from coming together closer than they are all year?
I personally don't think so. Religion is the belief in WHAT god exists, that's it. I'm a Christian, nothing will change this. But I don't let MY faith or MY belief get ahead of me. I allow others to believe how they want.
I think ALL religions agree when I say, Whatever god is real, we know there IS a god, we know he keeps us safe and brings us the good things that come to us in our lives. God is a strong spirit who was capable of bringing my mom, sisters and I together with my grandparents, aunt and amazing dad.
I'm thankful for a lot this year. I have an amazing new dad who cares for us and is amazing beyond belief. I have my mom who is an angel in every sense of the word. Her smile is heart warming her hugs are comforting and the way she looks at life is wonderful.
My wonderfully amazing sisters are so sweet and make me laugh when I feel like crying. They are true mini mommy's (What I mean by that is they are amazing people like my mom.) I'm thankful for my grandparents, I have never truly had grandparents before, It's a whole new experience having a full happy family.
Christmas in our family is a bit awkward now, my grandparents and aunt don't celebrate it, but my mom, sisters, dad and I do. I hope for our sake this year grandma and grandpa will at least acknowledge the fact that my mom sisters and I celebrate it and enjoy the day. It's not REALLY about the gifts, It's the thought and the bringing together part that I enjoy.
We do go somewhat big, but not REALLY big on Christmas, just some gifts to show the love that flows, the food to celebrate our family's coming together and big smiles all day. I love seeing my sisters faces on the very special day.
Dad,
I wish you were here with us through the holidays, and in a way you will be, you'll be in each one of our thoughts through out the days. As always. I love and miss you very much. Stay safe and make it home as soon as you can. I can't wait for the amazing fairytale wedding up ahead in the near future. I also can't wait to spend the holidays with ALL of my family. I love you.
