I should write an advice column. Or at least be a political advisor.
Advice I just gave: "Never think about chicken and waffles. Just do."
Tell me that isn't applicable to basically any life situation.
I just ate flax seed waffles with sauteed chicken for dinner. I just made chicken and waffles that could be digested by white douchebags. Just another service I perform for society. White douchebags never get what they want. So, you're welcome.
I have been getting some of my sass back lately. I lost it in the miserable Washington mist for a while, but now I am transforming and all that cold and drizzle is merely feeding my witty angst. I realize that if I wasn't a little bit miserable all the time, then I would not be myself. I have to hate something. We all do.
This is why the hippies won't win. Hippies preach too much love. We can't relate to that. I think we all need to have a healthy amount of hate in our lives. Like I hate landlords, cranberry sauce, racism, white people, bad grammar (ignore the beginning of this sentence...and the majority of my blog), and when smokers go out and smoke and then come have a conversation with me like my baby and I want to inhale their skank breath. The only exception in any of these scenarios is if it is my cat committing the act. Then, I don't hate it. It immediately becomes adorable. If Ingrid came to your door, after smoking, and got all up in your face saying, "I doesn't get your rent last month," you'd find it adorable too.
I think it's those people that are awkwardly nice all the time and never say a bad thing about anyone that we need to fear the most. I don't trust 'em. If a person doesn't have an obvious touch of misery in their demeanor, I won't associate with them. I wouldn't know what to even talk about.The first thing that comes to my mind as soon as I detect one of these nice people is Satan worship. It's hard to make that into something nice.
I'm one of those ex-Christians that says I don't believe in Satan but then as soon as I say the word, "Satan," I immediately start saying really nice things about Jesus in my head.
I gotta go do laundry. Good thing Jesus is so great.
K. I'll talk to you later. You, too, awesome Jesus guy.
Bye friends! And the lovely Jesus!

About Me
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.
