The news, there it is ruining my happy day. We just finished watching another night of the Olympics, and as I am fiddling around, a great big blast of negative energy comes wafting to my ears. Tell me why again, are people's tragic deaths, fires, accidents, and other tragedies "news?" I can't believe people actually watch that shit! Their daily dose of nightmare pills, I suppose they are addicted to.
The news even went so far as to show "great hospital food." UGH! It was fried chicken, and the woman was heard saying, "No, we got to throw some more in the deep fryer." WHAT?!!!! SICK AND WRONG!!!!
This weekend was interesting. Two birthday parties. It is funny how any activity in this country is centered around food, and how the food always seems to be the same, burgers and hot dogs, potato salad, coleslaw and cake. Doesn't anyone find this incredibly boring? When will the insanity of plain-ness stop? If I were still a meat eater, or partook in the S.A.D. (standard American diet), I would be so bored with hamburger in the summer, turkey or ham at the holidays, and lamb at Easter! I remember Doug's ex-sister-in-law telling me once, "I am thinking of venturing out in my diet a little." I was thinking, "Finally!" Then she says, "Yeah, I have actually been trying a little mustard on my burgers and hot dogs lately." This was not a joke, she was dead serious! Completely S.A.D.!
It was also completely hard to keep a smile on while people kept offering burgers and dogs that smelled like rancid meat (most likely were) to us, and then proceeding to stuff their faces, while talking to us, even though we were trying to discreetly hide away from the feeding frenzy. Go ahead, eat the meat, I don't really care what you choose to care about or not, it is your choice and your body, but please don't act like I am the freak for not following the herd. I am not trying to make anyone feel guilty, just answering the barrage of questions, and getting more wily the more I am asked. I am happy to answer when the meat-eaters aren't cramming it down their throats while asking me dietary questions, as if to say, "Yeah, whatever you say, I don't give a shit about, you are the freak here, and I like this dead animal, rancid and tortured or not!"
Boy I am glad I am a vegetarian, and "Yes I get plenty of protein, duh, plants ARE protein" and "No I don't eat salads for every meal!"
