procrastination
Right now I am taking a break from studying, and I thought to myself "self, you should write a blog." I don't know why I thought to do this, seeing as I don't really have very much that is meaningful to say.
I went to Infusion today with David and I really enjoyed it. We also saw a house right next to it in College Park that we would LOVE to rent, but seeing as we just entered into a new lease a month ago, I don't think that will be happening soon. Oh well.
We got into a discussion again on our vegetarianism, and the hostility that we get from people sometimes. I can't tell you how many times some ignorant asshole starts saying shit, and the truth is, they have no fucking clue why a person may or may not eat meat. No I am not a hippie. Hippies existed as a part of the 60's counterculture, a time when it was "hip" to be that way. Yes, I am concerned about the environment; Yes, I spare HUNDREDS of animals from slaughter in my lifetime. Yes, I oppose the war in Iraq. But I am not a hippie. Chances are, your parents are or were more hippie than I am. Hippie is just some ignorant label that closed-minded conservatives hide behind so they can feel better about themselves. Why on earth would someone question another person's choice to live their life in such a way that they harm the least amount of humans, people, and environmental resources as possible? Hmm...
Perhaps they are jealous. Jealous that I am living a life that is FAR more compassionate and right than their hypocritical Cristian ways. No, I don't pray to Jesus every night (he was a cool guy, don't get me wrong), but do YOU give to charity on a regular basis? Do you protect animals and humans and the earth that we all have to share? Think about it. They are jealous because I have everything that they have and more. Sure meat tastes good, but I eat things that taste as good if not better + they are healthier. Don't fucking worry about protein, I get more than you and without the cholesterol. Above all else, they know that I go to sleep at night without ever having to think about the physical harm I have caused any living creature.
And what sense does it make? Why is it that when I say that I am a vegetarian I have to defend myself? What do I have to prove to you? I don't ask every person that I encounter buying meat why they are doing so, so why should it be anyone's fucking business that I don't.
So here is the deal, I don't give you shit until you give it to me. Mind your own damn business, and I will mind mine. Don't preach if you don't want to hear it right back, because I gaurantee, my argument is always better.
I guess I did have something to say.
