Get Your Furry Freak On: FURther CONfusion San Jose

It all started with a pair of cheetah print UGGS and an insider's understanding to the Furry community.  Yup, that was my 'gateway' drug to appreciating the underground world of the Furries.  Your school mascot is probably a part of this society that just wants to have fun.  I love people who dare to have the confidence to expand the boundaries of what is considered  the norms of society.  A freak fest at its best.  I love it. 

Vegas?  Forget it.  Tacky celebrity impersonators and strippers have nothing on FURther CONfusion in San Jose, California.  What happens in San Jose, stays in San Jose.......  party on if you can party on with the communist party. 

The best part is getting reactions from 'muggels' who stumble upon Furries freely frolicking in the San Jose Marriott lobby.  The high school volleyball tournament participants were surely shocked as  judging by their giggles, pointed fingers, and stares from down the hallway.  Some the volleyball players dared to approach the Furries to get their picture taken.  I'm sure the helicopter "bored moms on prozac" lectured their daughters to STAY AWAY FROM THESE DANGEROUS FREAKS...  THEY WILL WARP YOU AND CAUSE YOU HARM!!!!!

The joke is on the Bored Moms on Prozac.  Furries are the most non-judgmental, peaceful, fun-loving group out there.  Relax, Bored Moms on Prozac.

I have been invited into the social underworld of the "Furries." What is a Furry, you ask? Well, a furry is an animal with human characteristics -- that's the layman's version.

Freakish? Not so fast there, judgmental public. Think about every culture on earth. All have reference to animals with human characteristics (or vice versa). Werewolves? Centaurs? You get the drift...

Anyway, there are native American tribes that believe we all have an animal spirit as part of our "human" personality. Long story short, there is some animal in all of us. The Furries have just allowed this suppressed aspect of our anal-retentive society out of the bag and into the realm of fun and celebration.

Finding your animal "soul" is a journey -- not a destination. You may think initially you're a rabbit, but may go from squirrel, cat, and then end up at chipmunk. Self-discovery is part of the fun...

So go ahead.. put on your bunny ears and have some fun;)

I agree this post would have had more impact around November, but I saw this car parked in my parking lot and just had to take a picture of the bumper sticker. This post is for my Furry Friends everywhere..... Yes, we DID stop Palin. We won't allow the dingy betch to shoot wolves from helicopters;)
