I am barely getting through the day as it is. And as Luis said, it&#8217;s a very private thing and we&#8217;re never going to get the whole world to agree.<\/p>\n<p>Just very shortly. I am drawn towards vegetarianism. But then there are comments like Judas&#8217;s, practically saying it&#8217;s my fault that 3B and Springbok are going to get slaughtered. It makes me not want to be a vegetarian. Kinda like if Jehova&#8217;s witnesses rang my doorbell and shouted &#8220;YOU&#8217;RE GOING TO HELL SINNER SINNER SINNER&#8221;. It would not make me join their religion. Tonight I&#8217;ll have a bloody big steak with your name on it, Judas. And it will be your fault that cow died. And I&#8217;m not being irrational. Purple monkey dishwasher.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t even eat that much meat. If anything I should probably eat more of it, I am unhealthy. I still have this John Candy fantasy of dying from an overdose of chicken.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think I have ever eaten goat meat. Maybe when I was a kid and I didn&#8217;t know anything. Today I wouldn&#8217;t eat goat. Maybe there is hope for me yet. It still doesn&#8217;t make a damn bit of difference in this situation though. And I don&#8217;t understand how you can not understand the difference between killing and eating a pet and killing and eating a non-pet. Yes, this is about my feelings. It&#8217;s my blog. Of course it&#8217;s about my feelings. Of course the reason I don&#8217;t want them to die is because of my feelings. Then we can do veganism later and rescue all the other animals. <\/p>\n<p>I am a very selfish person. I don&#8217;t have a problem admitting that. Just ask Skye.<\/p>\n<p>Vegetarians are vegetarians so they can feel better than meat-eaters. Vegans are vegans so they can feel better than vegetarians. I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s some cult that believe we must consume nothing but sparkling water from the mountain streams and that Vegans are dirty filthy sinners. The choices we make are always selfish. And I&#8217;m not being cynical. <\/p>\n<p>No, really. <\/p>\n<p>I sit in the bus and look out the window, at all the people. And I feel like I&#8217;m not like them, I am not a part of the human race. But really, I am as much to blame. When I lie in bed at night and imagine jumping off a bridge I get sick to my stomach. Isn&#8217;t it funny that my fear of heights overrides my desire to sleep with the fishes? Sometimes I stumble when I&#8217;m lying in bed. Not physically, but something snaps in my head and it feels as if I&#8217;m falling over and my whole body is shook. Like when you&#8217;re walking and you stumble, but you recover your balance so you don&#8217;t fall over. But there is still that shock in your system. The feeling of falling while staying on your feet. I never know whether to be happy that I didn&#8217;t fall or whether to be embarrassed because who trips over cracks in the pavement? That sort of thing only happens in the movies. And I am not rambling or trying to distract you.<\/p>\n<p><i><br \/>\nI dont want to hear it<br \/>\nI dont want to know<br \/>\nI just want to run and hide<\/p>\n<p>this is just a nightmare<br \/>\nsoon I&#8217;m gonna wake up<br \/>\nsomeone is gonna bring me around<\/p>\n<p>this is your warning<br \/>\nfour minute warning<br \/>\n<\/i><br \/>\n.<br \/>\n<i>Current Music: Radiohead &#8211; 4 Minute Warning (060619)<\/i><br \/>\n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t really feel like debating vegetarianism at the moment.
