Why did you have to start posting again?

To annoy you!

Please tell me a Derby Trailer wrote this one as a joke:

Dearest Sweet, Sweet “Z”,
We are together in your joy and sorrow, for there is “A Time for Everything”…Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses. He sets the time for birth, and the time for death, the time for planting and the time for pulling up, the time for killing and the time for healing, the time for tearing down and the time for building. He sets the time for sorrow and the time for joy, the time for mourning and the time for dancing, the time for making love and the time for not making love, the time for kissing and the time for not kissing. He sets the time for finding and the time for losing, the time for saving and the time for throwing away, the time for tearing and the time for mending, the time for silence and the time for talk. He sets the time for love and the time for hate, the time for war and the time for peace. He has set the right time for for everything. The best we can do is be happy and do the best we can while we are still alive. All of us should eat and drink and enjoy what we have worked for, It is God’s Gift. Everything God does will last forever. You can’t add anything to it or take anything away from it. And one thing God does is to make us stand in awe of Him.” Ecclesiastes 4.1 You are our perfect “Z.”

What a sad day at our house. We love you so much and feel like you are part of our family, so unexpected bad news hurts our hearts. We woke up to an email alert from BloodHorse.com to which we subscribe, and I nearly dropped the laptop off my lap when I read their alert that says “Zenyatta, last year’s Horse of the Year for Jerry and Ann Moss, no longer in foal.” So like all teary eyed girls, I reached out to my girlfriends, who are as hooked on you as I am, so we could talk about it like we girls do, and feel better. Just for a second I thought – oh no here we go again with the bitter part of loving someone or something. Then I realized that here, on this blog, there would be people who reach out with hugs and well wishes, and where there would be healing. As I was logged on to this site, I thought – oh yes, I’m sure this news is going to bring out the monster in someone. And sure enough, evil raised it’s ugly head here but just as I know you are blessed, Zenyatta, and held in the Light daily by your connections, I know this blog is a sacred space that will leap over the negative to shine a positive beacon for us in our joys and sorrows.

Mother Nature is a force for Good, so we are holding on to that truth and looking forward to a little Zen at the perfect time. This reminds me of seeing you race. Dead last outta the gate. Around the last turn thinking – oh my God she’s not gonna make it – and then – WINNER! So here we are again with my heart sunken and worried and for no reason. This is Zen being Zen and winning in her own way while we all watch breathlessly. WINNER!

Love and a peaceful prayer to the tiny soul waiting for you in Horsey Heaven, Zen

Especially because that's not Ecclesiastes 4. It's Ecclesiastes 3. Jesus tapdancing Christ, did this person never listen to The Byrds?

shoot and here all along i just thought it was a song and not a Bible verse.

:p:tro:

Well, it's a lot catchier set to Pete Seeger's music, after all. Imagine what he could have done with 1 Maccabees.

or the Zenyatta's Secret

according to Zenyatta's blog.. the race that makes a true champion is the VANITY!!!!

Sorry to hear about the loss of the foal. Maybe next time.

But oh so many crazies are out there with their sympathy notes to Z. Oy!:zz:

I don't think it's funny at all that she lost her foal, but that blog is pretty hilarious in a sad sort of way. I think the DRF thinks so too, lol

It is the fault of Blame and the voters who publicly supported Blame for HOY.

It's my time to throw up.

I myself much prefer my Ecclesiastes 3 in the original LOLcat:

"theer has is a sison for evryting, and a tiems for every perpos under teh ceiling. 2 a tiemz 2 git kittehs, an a tiems 2 get ded. a tiemz to bury the cheezburger and a time to dig up the cheezburger you has planted. 3 tiemz 4 killin the mouses and tiemz 4 being ok with them but not rly. 4 theres a tiemz 4 lollin and a tiemz 4 not lollin so much. A teimz 4 weepins and a teimz 4 dancin. 5 a tiemz to keep cheezburger and a tiemz to give them away, srsly. teimz 4 hugs, tiemz when hugz are NOT WANTED. 6 a tiemz 4 lookin round and a timez 4 getin bored and stop lookin. 7 a tiemz 2 brak and a teimz 4 fix and a teimz 4 STFU and a teimz 2 talkz. 8 A teimz 4 LUV and a teimz 4 HAT. A teimz 4 lots a killin and a teimz 4 only killin when nobodys lookin. u get teh picture."

These are same types Serling will be teaching in the new NYRA beginners webcast.
