I lose so many friends because of the racist thing. I bite my tongue about vegan stuff all the time, but racist remarks never slide. I have lost many a friend because I have pointed out their wrongs. They get offended and the friendship is over. Don't need them I guess. My son's grandfather is the worst. We have stood toe to toe before, and everyone clears the room. He now uses more appropriate words, and it all started becaues one person stood up to him. He is 6-foot-five and 250 pounds and was just allowed to say whatever the fuck he wanted. I have to defend my proud black ass, ya know... Ha!

wow. you know what, that entry just made my night.

i'm going to be a hairdresser, and i have the same problems.. i avoid social functions with older, more prudish people (esp: family) beacuse of my lip ring, my pink hair, and my refusal to eat animals. they're ANIMALS. my LAND.

so you know what, fuck it. if they don't like me they can deal with it. i'm living my life and they can live theirs.

woot. yay for awesome journals.

last night on ABC there was a special about food and the government and america being so fucking fat. part of the problem is that the government subsidizes corn crops, which become high fructose corn syrup, but it doesn't do nearly as much for fruits and vegetables. so the gov't makes it easier for farmers to make junk food than to make healthy food. yet...

You should read "Fast Food Nation". That is, if you haven't already.
There's an interesting, if not purely evil, section about how McDonalds is helping finance education, and how this leads to a presence in the schools. Also, it says that Ronald McDonald is the second most recognized figure to children; second to Santa Claus.
Its a scary book.

i had a nice long talk with my brother today about how our childhoods screwed us up. he's in love with a great woman and is afraid our crappy childhoods of never feelling adequate will cause him to unintentionally fuck everything up. it's a really long story, but i came to a decision for the both of us which is this, we don't have to...

Thanks for the comments on my kiddos upbringing. I love having you veggie folks around. I have not a single friend or family member that is a veggie.

Tommy's house is on my hit list...

whew. new magazine goes to the printer what a lovely headache.

i'm swearing off saying "busy!" when people ask me how i'm doing, or what's up with me. i hate when people say that to me. who's not busy? i say it all the time and am trying to erradicate "busy" from my vocabulary.

"busy" becomes a surrogate personality and is too easy to fall...

hey mr. wiggles (ludicris reference anyone?)

i am indeed an herbivore magazine minion, enslaved to the great god coffee.

which one were you at the vegfair? did you have tattoos and a baby? thanks for the support at the fair. did we chat? we had a lot of fun that day. i gotta admit, sometimes those events aren't so fun, but that one was cool. a lot of folks kicking around that seemed to "get" us.

-josh
wigglefree:
No not the dude with the baby, but yeah we chatted about your tattoo's, that's when I was furst turned on to Jennifer Billag. I now have planes for her to do some work on me. Just need the money. Good luck with the mag. It has done so much for my sad little life (like turing me on to this site). I tell all my AR / veg friends about it and sometimes bring coppies to bay area AR events.

Hope issue # 3 can top the whole sex drugs and rock and roll thing. That's a tough one to beat!
