Following story, on the Internet news, this morning.

Bullfighter in intensive care after severe goring

One of Spain's most famous matadors was in stable condition in intensive care Sunday, after being severely gored during a bullfight in Mexico.

Video from the bullfight at central Mexico's Plaza de Aguascalientes shows Jose Tomas being carried out of the ring, his thigh soaked in blood after the bull he was fighting upended him and tossed him several feet.

He required reconstructive surgery to his femoral artery after the bull's horns tore through his leg.


Um, Mr. Bullfighter....
while, I am very sorry for your injury, I must ask,
You are aware, that the desired effect of your chosen profession, is to in fact, encourage the bull to become angry and chase after you....with his horns?

Did someone, not fully explain that, when you applied for the position?

I hope,

A.) You have a good health care plan.

B.) You were wearing a very strong Cup.

C.) You take this hiatus, to reconsider your career.

Once upon a time, my life's light was slowly drained by the fluorescent underground, of a large insurance company. After reviewing, the severe 'gorging' it had taken to my soul...I realized the flower, that is my creativity, hope and wonder....would flourish outside of 'The Ring'.

Just think about it, Mr. Bullfighter.

Munchkin, you know, we are related...you don't have to write simple questions, on the blog...you can call or text.
Answer: Yes.
The Kid/Dork is currently watching DVR'd American History series, rather than playing outside in the sunshine.

Shout out to all my friends & co-workers spending yet another day at a large insurance company have their souls gorged. We like to call it our employer. Tru Stories quit with your exaggerations. Like being a bullfighter is as bad as working in insurance!

It's true, Munchkin, you could just text Tru Stories. But then she'll send a return text that will literally ruin your entire weekend while also breaking your heart a little. Yes, still bitter in case you were wondering.
