ROADKILLS


a while ago i decided i wanted to start posting pictures of roadkills i saw (i know, i know - WTF)... i'll tell you.. the idea spawned from walking by a dead mouse/used condom, for weeks while on my way to work. they were just hanging out beside one another like the best of friends. i thought "what a ridiculous picture this would make. i should take a picture of this. one day i'll take a picture of this".

.. and one day i did infact decide to take that picture. but i had waited just a little too long and there wasn't much more left than a mostly disintegrated condom.

but from that point forward i decided i would take pictures of this type of thing... and just the other day i had my first opportunity. walking home, in the alleyway of my apartment, i found this sad little pigeon. but man oh man.. i'll tell you. its all fun and games to hate on pigeons when they are alive but when you see a dead one.. its not funny at all. its really sad and gross and completely heartbreaking. I'M SERIOUS. try it sometime and you'll know what i mean :( ... now, i know after reading that you're probably thinking:

"well then why the fuck did you take a picture of it, you asshat!"

but i was still thinking it would be a good thing to blog.. pictures of roadkills.. that sounds kind of good right? WRONG

as soon as i had the photo i got why it was just the worst idea ever.

anyways.. i held onto the picture and did nothing with it, other than sometimes think how fucked it was that i had pictures of a dead pigeon on my phone (does that make me a potential pathological killer?) but then connor was all like 'no its cool, look at the red in the picture it's cool, it looks good'... and i was like: "ya connor, the red.. its great.. i love how your eye is really drawn from my red boots to THE PIGEON GUTS"..

anyways. there ya go. my evil post... is it really all that bad? i don't really know... i don't even know how i feel about it. i do know that i won't be taking any more roadkill pictures...

but i am going to start another blog that is strictly dedicated to kittens. alive kittens. dont worry.

  1. i seriously appreciate this photo.
    in the winter i see a frozen pigeon almost daily. its so disturbing... i love it!
    one day last winter i found a pigeon with its head almost disappearing into the snow and its little arse in the air. he looked like he had flown straight into the ground and frozen in action. *shudders*
    don't stop taking pictures. someone has to document these fucked up moments. i feel so american beauty right now. haha.... oh well....
