:) -
so then. I've been at my mom's now for two days. She's seems to be better, and in better spirits, and i hope that it is related to my visit here :)
I have to wait a few more weeks before I can carry on to amsterdaam, so hopefully in that time i can convince her to come with... it'll be fun for her, and well, she should do something before she goes home (God, heaven, etc etc).
My dog remembered me right off! Even after all these years!! Can you believe that? She's already over 11 years old and that makes her almost 70 in dog years :)
She slept on the floor by my bed the first night, and on my bed with me last night.
I had her all day today, and she was pretty happy and outspoken, like a good dog should. As obedient as always as well. I had her chasing her ball this morning, and you'd swear she was still a pup! Just goes to show if you don't fix an animal and don't feed it all that processed crap that we wouldn't eat ourselves, dogs stay healthier and live longer.
Yeah, that's it man. Forget the masses, use common sense and your head... of course, this does assume some sort of intelligence; which of course I do have :D
I've always wondered about that. I don't sweat things like transfat, cholesterol and fatty acids, and whatever else that everyone else seems to be so paranoid about. yet, every year, I get a physical and have my blood-work done. Cuz well, its good to check right? Yup! every year I'm healthier than most people half my age in spite of the fact that I smoke and party.
Now mind you, i don't eat junk food or fast food, and don't eat cakes and candy, or chips etc. I prefer to cook good ole fashioned meat, veggies and rice. Drinking tons of water, or juices.
Just eat what my body wants.
The one thing that i do know about is proteins. There are different sources of protein, and well, sorry vegans, but really, there are enzymes in meat, both red and white meat that one cannot extract from protein supplements and/or replacements, i know this cuz my body ALSO craves nuts and tofu and so on. Different types of protein, therefore different sources and aspects of physiology affected.
however, whatever, i dated a vegetarian, and she was pretty healthy, albeit more tired than she should've been, which i know wouldn't have occurred if she had at least included fish in her diet. I can at least understand the sociological reasons for not eating red/white meat, after all, hell what they do to those animals is basically poison them to 'gain more value from each production unit' (they're not considered animals you see, they're profit units - welcome to the corporate raiders).
I've actually gravitated more toward fish and gamey meats, deer, moose, etc, rather than beef and pork and chicken. At least I know they're eating what God put there for them to eat! Not bovine growth hormones to overswell bellies, or udders, etc.
oh well. it is virtually impossible to teach the naive about the truth of things, then it is about convincing them to have a cause. After all, the ineffectual always need a cause. It makes them feel as though they're doing "something about it" even though it isn't having any affect on how we as a species put acquisitions over morality.
Now, don't get me wrong, I realize that most of us are moral to a degree. After all, there was this guy, that loved his family, adored his children, went to church on Sunday's and even participated in community volunteer functions. Still getting up every day, to go to work and watch the poor under fed folks walk into the showers, have the doors closed on them, before he pulled the lever to the gas chambers. it wasn't his fault his country was at war! He was just trying to provide for his family.
Man, if anyone actually gets that sarcasm, it'll slay me!
