Why brine shrimp are fantastic pets

 Why brine shrimp are fucking awesome So this is uncanny sounding, but I keep brine shrimp as pets, also known as sea monkeys, aqua dragons, fish food, artemia, whatever you call them I keep them. They're an ancient breed of crustacean that's been around for hundreds of millions of years, virtually unchanged, known for their ability to lay egg cysts that can be kept in packets and sold to children. SO yeah, I'm an adult keeping childrens toys, and the reason for that is... come on, they look so fucking goofy swimming around backwards, I mean the fact that you pour some packets into water and boom, you got lifeforms that can live up to 2 years just like that is facinating to me.

Why am I doing this

Why am I doing this? Mainly out of boredom. Blogs used to be super huge back in the earlier days of the internet, and I wanted to bring that back, so I'm starting my own blog. Andrea Borman gave me the idea, but I probably won't be as fancy as her.     About me:  My name is Aidan CR, at the time of writing this I am 19 years old, living at Central Oregon Community college, I am into photography and animals, I have a pair of finches, a jumping spider, multiple brine shrimp colonies, a gecko, and a dog.    It is currently 12:54 AM, the current thought is parmesean cheese and radio freedom from fallout 4, don't ask me why.
