I have plans.

A Small Brain Is Easy To Swallow

You know the facts.
They’re in your mouth.
You swallow them three times a day.
They stick in your teeth and remind your friends
That facts cannot get in your way.
You’re so fucking clever.
Your words so well formed-
The facts beside them so plain.
You laugh,
You breathe,
You live,
To eat…
Eat down the suffering.
You take big bites and swallow hard;
It turns you on how strong you feel.
Those facts so small
Are flattened by your jaw,
But one or two appear.
You know the facts.
A few rest there
In between your blood-stained teeth.
You pick and brush and scrub and scream
And your own blood begins to seep.
Those tiny facts that I talk about
That define my everyday
Are eating you from the inside out.
They learned from your own ways.
The small are easy to ignore
When your mouth is full of shit.
But they have their place and because of you
They break you bit by bit.
So swallow hard and pray to your God
That the filth filling your mouth
Will be cleaned by your slick words
That slither for a way out.
Your mouth is what got you in trouble
But your mouth can change it all.
Spit out the food.
Spit out the facts.
It’s so simple because they’re so small.

Short and friggin vegan

Guys and Dolls is a hoot. 

Come see it.

Don't eat meat.

Do What You Can!

Hey animals! 

You're looking sexy today. 

Now that I have vegan-buttered you up, do what I say! Just kidding.... but if you have time, read this:

I am really busy lately, and I have had very little time to do anything. Sadly, animals are the ones who suffer when us activists get busy. In response to my schedule, I have decided to try the Vegan thing again. It's been about a month. So far, so good. With this post I just want to give you a little reminder of what you can do!

1) Stop buying products tested on animals; It isn't difficult. I'm on a student's budget and can hack it. It feels just smashing opening that bottle of shampoo with the "not tested on animals" written on it. Everyone can agree that cosmetic materials should not be tested on animals! 

2) Report any acts of cruelty you witness against animals. If there's that creepy neighbor who keeps his dog pinned in the backyard all day with no one to play with him, report his ass and tell him to suck it! Don't do exactly that.. but just imagine being a playful little dog stuck to a tree by a chain with NO ONE to play with. Our animals deserve attention and care. If you adopt a pet, you have to take care of it!

3) Eat less meat! (no meat at all= awesome) It will be so much better for your health. The unnecessary consumption of something that causes pain to someone else is gross, and that is the definition of excessive meat-eating. Let's not permit our species to be wasteful and ridiculous. 

4) Talk about stuff! And by stuff, I mean animal rights! No matter what your opinion, talking allows the truth to be uncovered as much as possible. There is so much time, money, and life invested in the "animal industry", it would be ignorant and irresponsible to not be educated on it.

Alrighty... I'm starving now. I'm gunna go eat a Vegan treat and go to class. I really appreciate all of you who have contacted me and supported the small and large aspects of animal rights. Do what you can!

Peace to all beings.

Paz a todos.

Did anyone else see the America's Next Top Model episode where the women posed in meat outfits in front of animal carcasses? 

Aburrida!!!!!

Hola amigos! 

    Es vacacion de la primavera y no tengo nada hacer. Tengo que quedarme aquí en Knoxville por la mayoría de esta semana para ensayar Guys and Dolls. Estoy pensando sobre cosas diferentes que pueda hacer para los animales durante el tiempo libre. Quizás que yo sacque los fotos para mi Blog. No sé. Escribo en espanol porque necesito practicarlo- Es mi otra especialización además a teatro. Pues, si has pasado el tiempo para comprender esta nota, debería darme algunas ideas de las actividades disponibles. Podemos reunirnos si quieres!

Llámeme! Adiós! 

Viva los derechos de los animales!

Ayude a los que tú puedes.

"Take back your mink"

I'm in the musical Guys and Dolls. There is a song called, "Take Back Your Mink." It prompted me to post this reminder.

Fur doesn't come from animals that are already dead. They are killed solely for their fur and tortured for it. All they have is the skin on their backs, and we take it from them. You can stay warm and fashionable without the skin of an animal. Human is beautiful. Animal is beautiful. Respect life.
