In the past, I've written a little about how, at times, my life has paralleled that of Gwok Jing. It took a turn for the weird yesterday.
After work, I got a panicked phone call from my mother because she had found a LIVE RATTLESNAKE inside her garage. She had managed to trap it underneath a plastic bucket, but didn't know what to do next.
I told Mom not to panic and went over to her place armed with a baseball bat.
Sure enough, it was a rattler. I'm not crazy about killing animals, but this critter was a threat. I promptly bashed its head in with the bat, hitting it a good ten times to make sure it was thoroughly dispatched to Snake Heaven.
And so I killed my first snake. It wasn't a good feeling. Knowing that there was probably a good enough reason to kill it doesn't make it feel any more pleasant.
Gwok Jing, of course, killed a snake during his adventures...but he faced a giant snake with his bare hands and teeth. I at least had a baseball bat. No chomping down and biting the snake to death for me, no thanks.
So anyway...

Woah - where do you live? rattle snake in a garage?!?!?
It's like me finding a horse in my garage but something of that nature has happened ... living in Texas is great!Hatred is a curve blade. The harm we do to others, we also do to ourselves.
i tell you, some ppl argue for the sake of arguing.

I live in Southern California, in an area that was completely rural as recently as twenty years ago.

Now if he ate the snake's gallbladder, would that make his life parallel to YG? Oh no!

Out of curiosity, what were the other life-similarities?
Rattlers are poisonous?
