Chafee Zoo is hiring!

How cool is that? One of the first things I fell in love with in Fresno is the zoo. That and fishing at the dam with my dad. I fall in love with the zoo all over again every time I bring Audrey with. Our last trip was when the baby girafe was born. Sadly the little guy wasnt able to get up.

I would really enjoy working there while Audrey was in school,she starts first grade on 8/21. Even if they dont hire me maybe I can get in as a voulenteer. (spelling) Sadly the class I need to take for that is'nt until October.

Wish me luck.

Fuck the Grammar Police!

Famous Guest's picture

to clarify

grammar is spelled with an -ar ending, not an -er ending. the possessive form of something belonging to void would be an apostrophe and an s, as in "void's prose." and finally, if you can substitute "it is" where you would say the contraction, it needs an apostrophe, as in "it's poetry, man."

as for void's overall formatting style, i try not to think about it.

Grammer police hijak a happy post!!!

Perfectly happy post about the possibilities I see in the Chafee Zoo and the grammer police have marked it up with red marker. I personally enjoy voids prose. Its poetry man.

Hey Famous Amos I think last I read and saw both the hippos are gone =(. I would not mind sweeping up elephant dung to be honest. On the other hand I would probably do more good volunteering at the homeless shelter. I have been in that situation many times. It would just bring back some depressing memories.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

and, as a special thank you

I'd like to take the time to acknowledge the various edumacated members of some of the local institutions of higher learning, for their inability to respond to personal posts,,,
-but who've contributed gracious assistance with constructive criticism, artful use of perjoratives, via those lucky grey cells not yet killed by barley, malt, hops, and tequilla.

-Meeting them on line has fallen second only to the eventual personal introductions, and awkward social events, at which time we'll have to just sit there, trade happy banter, and pretend that we aren't nearly as nasty and petty as the high walls of the valley have already dictated.

Just one little ray 'o' sunshine after another, here, in'nt it.

gratuitous parentheses

"(kinda leads one to believe, -well, if all dogs go to heaven, there has to be room for giraffe from the SanJoaquin Valley, (he probably got his own grove to chew on, too, maybe running around with some buddies who didn't make it to act 2 of those National Geographic films they used to show us in elementary school... (one of the only times I simply could not respect a Cheetah.)"

And the award for gratuitous use of subordinate parentheses goes to...

Seriously, it would be much easier to read your work if you took the time to compose your prose in a more careful fashion. Try reading what your write before you click "Post comment" and don't be afraid to edit your work. Not that this is English comp, but if you want people to read what you write, you should try to make it easier for the reader. That paragraph above is very hard to read and poorly composed.

word of caution

before you run out and commit yourself to this post, i'd want to know why there is an opening. if the person previously holding your potential rank was eaten by a hippo, or beaten by an ape, you might want to reconsider.

still, i like your enthusiasm. good luck!

...oh

good lord...that is sad...

(kinda leads one to believe, -well, if all dogs go to heaven, there has to be room for giraffe from the SanJoaquin Valley, (he probably got his own grove to chew on, too, maybe running around with some buddies who didn't make it to act 2 of those National Geographic films they used to show us in elementary school...

-second point, (not to overshadow the feelings of the first.)
You realize, with all the things I have going on here at the shop, and in life in general, I'm walking around wondering about a little giraffe that I've never even met...

That, meinfreund, is the difference between writing and just typing.

(Keep at it. (I promise to try to hold up my end of the bargain, in finding someone who smells pretty and dances backwards,,, a deal's a deal...)

Its sortve sad actually

It seems that a baby giraffe must get up on its own after birth. We watched that little guy try with all of his might to stand up on the skinniest most knobby legs I have ever seen.

We watched for an hour or so. Everyone was rooting for the little guy. It became painful to watch after a time. I "think" I remember reading that he had died.

J.Zach at the zoo.

John, first I need to know if the baby giraffe ever got up. (I'm seriously fretting over this,,, the little schmeckle better have a happy ending...)

-And I soooo want you to get this gig.
It would be cool as 'snake's suspenders. (and not nearly as weird.)

Prayin' for ya.
