I Do What I Want: Pole dancing is the answer

Pole dancing is the answer

I know you know this already, and I know I know this already, but I'm a fan of unnecessary repetition of things so here it goes: I. am. crazy. It's legit. I'm gettin the papers tomorrow. Today, though, I decided to embrace the crazy.

My crazy makes me special. It makes me interesting. It makes me a little scary to most people. I like it. I really do. See... what I'm thinking is that more people should embrace their crazy. We all have it within us. Our society makes sure of that. It forces us to suppress and repress and oppress and caress things when we really shouldn't (I've caressed so many things for society. I blame MTV and Banana Republic). Those various "esses" create these little crazy versions of ourselves that sit inside us and wait oh-so-patiently for just the wrong time to make themselves known. But you know what? (what?) Those little crazy cuties are usually more real than the face we show the world. My crazy's name is Gia. She's from Jersey. She's a stripper and a fiction writer. She drinks too much, works out twice a day but only to meet the studs at the gym, and her favorite hobby is punchin bitches in the club. I love Gia. She's sassy and confident and funny and fuckin crazy.

So as of today, I am giving Gia the attention she deserves.

My first Gia decision is to start drinking more. I'm buying wine after work and I'm getting shit-faced at my house. By myself. WHOA YOUR JUDGEMENT IS NOT NEEDED. Actually, I probably won't get hammered. But, I will drink until Gia feel comfortable enough to potentialy punch a bitch in the club- metaphorically speaking, that is.

Side note: A fear of mine: I am worried that people are disappointed in me for not moving to Chicago or NY or LA immediately to pursue the acting thing. See... I try to pretend that I don't care what people think, but I DO! I know I'm going to have to get over that because it's my life and, as we all know, I do what I want.

The best way I can think of to get over that fear is to let Gia outta her stripper cage and flash her vag in the face of fear (too much).

WWGD?

Who's your crazy? Are you properly acquainted? Get on that.

Food, Water, and Shelter

We are all very aware of the environmental movement taking place due to global climate change. Finally, many people of all sorts are listening to the earth and making more sustainable choices. Even my grandparents are recycling, and if the elderly can change their ways then this thing must be happening. I am an environmentalist and promote environmental protection through a vegan lifestyle. Many think of me as an animal rights fiend who would jump in front of moving traffic to save a frog (which is true), but I am also a planet rights fiend who would jump in front of traffic to save the planet. Meat-eating is one of the worst contributors to global warming. Qué? I hear your question and I'll tell you what I can. Factory farming is the corporate means of raising and slaughtering animals for meat. There are often times THOUSANDS of animals on a single farm. Not only are the crowded conditions horrendous and nightmarish for the animals who suffer them every day until they are killed, but they also cause the accumulation of excrement and other bodily wastes that pollute the land, and especially the water. The feces have extraordinarily damaging effects on the ecosystems near the farms. Plants and animals become mutated or extinct in massive quantities because of the animal wastes that come from this feces and the drug-laden animal carcasses. The EPA states that 35,000 miles of rivers in 22 states contaminated groundwater in 17 states. This pollution not only ruins the ecosystems that surround these contaminated areas, but also our drinking water. Besides the groundwater, oceans suffer the effects of animal farming. Much of the animal wastes from farming in the middle US merges into the Mississippi River and thus empties into the Gulf of Mexico. Nitrogen from the polluted river sparks major algae growth and diminishes oxygen for other plant and animal life.

These are just small examples of a major problem swallowing this planet. If humans continue to eat meat at the ravenous rate, the pollution will soon return the favor. There is no action without a reaction, and it is becoming obvious that our selfish and indulgent ways are killing us and future generations. Vegetarianism is a PERFECT way to stop the damage and cleanse this planet. We all can relate to the need for food, water, and shelter. If we can harmonize these elements into a sustainable process, then we will all surely prosper. Eat veggie, have clean water, and save our shelter.

Food is change.

Change your food.

Intrinsic Value For Sale

Money is manmade. It is not precious. It has no intrinsic value. We give it all the value it possesses, yet somehow it still manages to control us and causes us to do or permit some things to be done that we would not do otherwise.

You are not an animal rights activist. You care about other things and are busy as a beaver in a blue lagoon bathed in sunlight with a smell of oncoming rain looming in the air. You know what I'm talking about.

Anyways.... the point is, you don't have to completely agree with us hippies and be an activist to have a place in your heart against animal cruelty. It is my belief that animal testing can be an issue that all humans agree about given the right information.

While animal testing in the medical field is very controversial and required, animal testing in cosmetics, cleaning supplies, and other chemical industries is unnecessary, disgusting, and completely avoidable. We all bathe (even us hippies) and all like to smell so fresh and so clean clean when we gunna get some (some can be defined as whatever you like to get while smelling good). With an industry that is SOOOO largely a part of our lives, we SHOULD be informed about it. Face it, corporations define many aspects of our lives and too often we trust that they are doing the right things for our health, our families, and our planet. Truly, though, most corporations... well all.... only care about money and are held at very low standards by law enforcement. We need to take the power away from useless green paper and back into the considerate minds of humans. Giving up products that are tested on animals is an amazing means to change. That would save the lives of MILLIONS of animals every year and raise the standards of corporations in all respects. If we pay attention, they have to do what we want.

I shop for only products not tested on animals. At first, it was hard to find what grocery stores/pharmacies carried such products. It wasn't long though before I realized that I could buy all soaps, lotions, shampoos, detergents, house cleaners, and dog/cat foods, that are cruelty free. There are many other perks to buying such products besides saving animals. Most avoid harmful chemicals that are linked to causing cancer. Also, many are much less harmful to the environment. If animals aren't your motivation, let the fact that you and your family could live healthier in a cleaner environment. If your argument for animal testing is that it eliminates human suffering by removing harmful products from the shelves, these cruelty-free products beg to differ. Animal testing is lame. We should all require that we only use the best products- for us and our ethical minds.

Have a question, comment, or want to know more you can do? email me! I'm pretty much bored all the time.

The Voice for the Voiceless

"Veggie Tales" and its supporters seek to act as a mediator between non-human and human species. It demands the respect for all life, particularly the life that belongs to those that humans use for convenience. "Veggie Tales" strives to educate the general population- the population that is likely unaware of the torture to animals that occurs daily-about the extent of animal involvement in our lives and our involvement in theirs. Along with mass-education, "Veggie Tales" acts as a resource for aware and activist humans who wish to live a cruelty-free lifestyle. "Veggie Tales" will continue and evolve until Animal Rights are no longer neglected and animals receive the respect they inherently deserve. "Veggie Tales" and all supporters believe that peace is ONLY possible when it takes on all forms: peace towards all races, all nationalities, all religions, and all species.
