I am Cow, hear me moo
I weigh twice as much as you
And I look good on the barbecue
Yogurt, curd, cream cheese and butter's
Made from liquid from my udders
I am Cow, I am Cow, Hear me moo
I Am Cow- The Arrogant Worms

So... If anyone pays attention to the chatbox at all.... I was up yesterday morning due to not being able to sleep and I popped a DVD I got with one of my music CDs in the player.... now..... considering it was called something like... I cant even remember besides something about stage dives... anyway..... I expected it to be a bunch of concert footage and interviews and stuff.... but NOOOOO... PETA propaganda.... -_-.... A bunch of different interviews and stuff from different punk and rock bands.... mostly against eating meat... This is from a Hardcore punk album I bought on a whim that has a picture of a half rotted corpse ((I think thats the army spelling but I really dont care anymore..... a dead person laying on a table... okies?)) featured in the CD jacket....

Anyway.... I stopped watching after four interviews.... Each little segment was about a minute long and it seemed like most of the artists they were interviewing were saying the same thing over and over and over and over and over.... "Animals are my friends... I wouldnt eat Timmy here... so why would I eat a cow?"... "Its really important people get involved"... "I've been a vegetarian for 8 years and I love my tofu".... Mostly the "Animals are my friends and Im not going to eat them" statment..... There was a few mentions of the fur industry.... cosmetics testing... but on the whole it was about eating meat..... It seemed like that was the main focus of the adds... to talk about vegetarianism.....

I really dont mind people who choose to not eat meat..... Its their life..... have fun with it..... Its like religion.... I really dont mind it untill some over-zealous jerk comes up and tries to tell me Im wrong for what I believe... But that was the main focus... "Dont eat meat, its healthier if you dont"

Is it so bad I want to know my food was a drain on resources before it was slaughtered, drained, and diced up before being grilled and served on a sesame seed bun? Im not going to force them to watch me eat it.... and Im going to stick to good old Alberta Beef before eating anything else... preferably buying from the neighbour who runs a live stalk operation, and knows what hes doing.

Granted there are places where animals are treated horribly.... and I dont believe in that kind of treatment... but as a omnivore species we are entitled to eat meat every now and then. And I would like to point out... they didnt talk about the stuff that happens to the test bunnies in the cosmetics shops.... or if their make up was animal testing free.... fur isnt even really in style anymore.... at least from my point of view.... and in all honesty.... half the animals wouldnt even be alive right now if it wasnt for their inevitable doom at the end.

I sound like an ass right now…. And most of it is sarcasm. I’m just saying. It’s a bloody good thing I had the freedom to walk away from that DVD…. Cause otherwise this rant might be just a bit more bitchy and I might be just a bit more inclined to buy a fur coat. The majority of the western population of 14-16 year olds cant even take into consideration that they might try to be a bit kinder to the people in their age group. Why would they be kind to animals?

I was talking to Keagon… mutual friend of Ramses and I, and I found out where he disappeared to….. to put it… delicately…. He doesn’t need to worry about where his next meal will be coming from for a while and if he behaves properly he might gain his freedom in under two years for good behavior…. Although from the sounds of it… I don’t think that will happen…. I made the suggestion that when he does get out… he might consider moving west to get away from the BS in his life….. But that’s in the future and he might have forgotten about the past all together at that point…. I hope for the best for him anyway… I never did get angry at him… Shit happens and I just kinda moved on….. I’ve been doing that more often lately…. Just giving up on waiting… not in the sense that I will never talk to him again if the situation were to arise…. But…. I’m not going to wait for him to show up…. Now I just need to learn to apply that concept to a few other people and Ill be set…

Oh… and the screening phone calls thing? It didn’t work…. Ill try to be on MSN tonight as its my last night off for a while…. But no promises…. I can see Dory wanting to rent movies and stuff….
