I've gotten into watching Supernatural lately. God only knows why, it kinda sucks alittle. But not really, I don't know, it's better than watching the news I guess.
Everytime I watch the news I want to buy a sign and go picket something. Right now I want to load up the car and go stand in front of the White House screaming. My boss called me tonight, all smug, telling me how 'My' President just approved testing crack and cocaine on monkeys. I'm still trying to find info about it online with no luck. I'm sure it's true though. I liked Obama too much, he was bound to dissapoint. They all do, and yet I can't really be mad at him. He's not the guy in charge, not really. He's just the face, just the one they parade infront of us, the one they send to the firing squad. The real top guns are hidden away, they never have to 'face the music' so to speak.
Corey Haim died this week. Some say it was a drug overdose, some say a heart attack. I'm not really sure I care. I care very much that he's dead, yes, but how he died is not really a concern for me. He was dead a long time ago. He killed himself with his first high, just like so many other drug addicts. The boy never stood a chance. I loved him, he was so baby faced handsome, and so funny. He just never got a grip and now he's never going to. I hate that he couldn't have passed away quietly, I wish it wasn't such a huge deal. Now his 'brother and friend' will milk this for another 15 minutes and go on every talk show that will have him. With his fake tears and 80's hair, I wanna puke.
I'm still struggling with the whole vegetarian 'thing', as my Grandmother calls it. I have to physically remind myself not to eat meat everyday. The first go round I was disgusted by the mere thought of meat, but now I'm just more aware of what I'm giving up I guess. But I'm determind to do it 100%. I just can't live with myself for having ANY part of the torture and murder of innocent creatures.
I get so pissed off by all of my 'friends' who laugh or roll their eyes when I start talking about animal right. They will smile, nod, and generally sing a little song in their heads until I shut up. I just don't understand that mind set, how it's so simple for people to ignore what's happening in the world. Everyone thinks that just because it's not happening in their own backyards, if they don't see it that it doesn't matter. That doesn't mean that you won't have to answer for it. I'm not sure I believe in God, or any other higher power But if there is one, don't you think that he/she/it would be pretty pissed off about what we're letting happen?
Till next time...
