Crazy-busy-crazy-tired

Work has been real busy...lots of deadlines...it seems when I have deadlines I'm vegged out in front of the telly watching such things as The Way We Were and Dancing With the Farts, reading Domino, or my new favorite book Peresoplis by Marjane Satrapi. I highly recommend this gem of a book, then you may see the movie. It's a super fast read! Aside from that I am avoiding bill collectors, artfully living on pennies, and oozing adoration onto a large fat furry being.

But I do wish I had something prolific to tell you, or at least the time to really get into the things I want to say.....for example I have been a vegetarian now for well over a month and I'm really getting into it. Some people have wondered why I'm doing this. And it's really beyond the cruelty, well that is a major point, but there are other things to it as well.

I'm educating myself more about food and the choices we make. I would love to sit here and get into full details about this, but alas time, my friend, time.. basically meat is gross to me. I'm talking about the issues of the nasty hormone injections, the horrible living conditions and treatment of the animals, i.e. animals treated like products, forced to live in feces, being hung upside down, alive while blood drains from their bodies...also gross, is the fact that the people that are suppose to be policing the industry are the same people making the money off of the industry, so more nastiness happens, ie. things like bacterial growth, e coli, salmonella, etc. are conveniently ignored.

Even people's proclamation of their beloved chicken and turkey is nasty! Yeah yeah you are all pretty annoyed with me now, but I find it all so simple, basically do you want to put something healthy and normal in your body, or do you want to be put a rotting carcass in your body?

I would also love to then talk about the nastiness of milk ... yeah I can hear you already and what I have to say to that is "calcium my ass" The dairy industry has taken you for a ride if you actually think milk is a good source of calcium. You want a good source of calcium? Try chewing on a stalk of broccoli. Maybe you just like the taste? Baby cows like it too, which is a good thing since they are the only beings who should be drinking that stuff anyway... But alas I should shut my mouth until I have eliminated dairy from my diet entirely. I am really on my way, but dammit there is this creamy Caesar dressing that has me at my throat it's so damn good!

Okay my rant, for now, is over... aside from food, I could go on about my plight for the perfectly designed apartment, well perfect for me, but that is a headache I am not wanting right now either. It seems no matter what I do, I just can't get things perfect. To learn more about this adventure, along with my love of design, kooky home decor, painting skills, fav designers and more, please do check out my design blog Abode, yeah that gets as updated as J's World.

More later Gators; I promise!
Now go chew on an apple and some legumes.
