Vegan Shmegan

Never mind -----

Have you ever met a soul mate? Not someone who you looks good to you after too many Jello shots - or that person you date seriously but ends in heart break. A friend who walks on your path. I have a soul mate. Its a girl. Her name is Julia. We can float apart for months at time and only talk a few times in a year yet we are on the same path. We are reading the same book, watching the same documentaries and practicing our new outlooks on life. For better our worst I think I will always be connect to her. We might not always be in contact but I know we will always be tight. Some of my readers (Madonna and Cortney Love) might wonder if this is the same girl who I wrote about in previous blog entries....and yes it is. She broke her cell phone...that is why no contact had been made -- I think she had to find the original Elliot to contact me....or was that E.T.? I always get my life and Steven Spielberg's movies mixed up.....anyway as I was saying... being a repressed black woman in the south during the turn of the century...DAMM that's the COLOR PURPLE!

Julia and I are friends again.....please stop sending her hate emails. Who ever sent the mail bomb is just plain mean. I am not going to lie the anthrax was funny but the rash it gave her was gross...I have never seen something puss that much. Oh its funny thing when ever we come together, we are doing the same thing, having the same idea's. New idea of the month is vegan....YEA!!! Animal liberation. I always thought that animal rights were important ...... lets face it all beings everywhere wish to be happy, however when you make a stand and say you will consciously attempt to limit the suffering in the world you are met with opposition. Suddenly people start to be the vegan police on ya....pointing out every meal that you ate with meat, or ever glass of milk you drink, the shoes that you wear.

I am by no means perfect. I struggle with being a new vegan all the time, non violence is a difficult choice -- and one choice which I hope to perfect. Like any yoga asana you never really prefet being non violent but you go deeper in conscious choice and action its in the "going deeper" that different views and richer depths are reviled.

If you are reading this and think am a nut..... then please cheek out some books on vegan ethics and thought. Diet for a New America by John Robbins (yes he is heir to the Baskins Robbins dynasty yet turned his back on it when his eyes were opened).

One idea that always kept me from being vegan was the idea of what others would think of me. I thought that being a vegan would set me apart from others. That I would be left to walk solo on the highway of life (80's rock is a great way to sound deep). I am not trying to stand on a soap box, more so I am attempting to figure out where I am/ who I am and how I can make this world a better place. That is were my main motivation steams from.

Hope this makes a little sense....

In peace and respect
Chris :O)

is it happy hour yet? yea for drinking and watching Dr. Phil. I am as smart and insightful as he is.....and after a few cocktails as confrontational too!!!

Any who gotta go take the long way around:O)
