astillar | My brand of cute (Random photos)

On my way to the job site this morning, I saw this young, extra fuzzy donkey. He was frolicking with the lambs, which was so cute I had to stop to take a picture, but once he saw me pull over and get out of my truck he became all self-conscious. He just kept staring at me. I thought he looked funny, super-fuzzy as he was. I know donkeys have bad attitudes, but from a distance they still look cute or funny, because they're all short and squat.

And speaking of ugly animals that I like, I'm just gonna come out and say it. I LIKE TOADS. I've never seen a frog in my life. I've heard em ribbit, I've heard their splash when they jump into the water, but they're too damn fast for me to spot. They're like crackheads. Toads are more like drunks in comparison. They just don't care. Every time I've ever come upon a toad, they don't bother to move. They look so grumpy it's funny. They just look at you like they're thinking, "What? You expect me to jump? I ain't doing cardio for you. I'm a toad. I'm fat, ugly, and lazy. Leave me alone." They don't move for nothing. How else could you do something like this to them? (And look at those pudgy fingers!)

I also like horny toads. They're itty-bitty but still try their damnedest to look tough. That's one thing I liked about attending TCU, their mascot. Oh yeah! And roly-poly's too! Not quite so cuddly, but again with the roundness (maybe that's the theme here?).
Oh, and almost forgot, cuttlefish! I like cuttlefish because they're the smartest invertebrates in the world (we should keep an eye on them just to be safe). But I especially like the Flamboyant Cuttlefish because well, they're extra fabulous. Yup, they look pretty tough and intimidating. At least, until you put it all in perspective. (Click the pic!)
