Brighter than Sunshine
Only not so much
It's Sunday, and as such it is the day during which I always am the most ridiculous. Ridiculous like weirdly tired and odd-feeling for no real reason. I'm not a very big fan of Sundays.
I really SHOULD be finishing my math homework right now but I'm not, because I don't understand a damn thing and am fed up with trying. Also, it's because I'm feeling pretty apathetic today, being that it is Sunday, which is the day where that kind of thing seems to happen to me.
Also, a strange combination of events seems to have occurred in my life over the past week, which I think is going to result in something that might change my life forever. I think I am going to become a vegetarian. This is something I've always halfheartedly considered, but never acctually done, because really I don't eat that much meat as it is, plus I was always a bit afraid of pissing off my inner carnivore. But, as fate would have it, I developed a gross head cold last week, which resulted in the smell of anything meat related to make me feel really sick to my stomach. So that was fun. And that combined with the documentary I watched about the conditions and controversies surrounding cattle feed lots, plus the reading I had done on factory farms and the treatment of animals in slaughterhouses, was enough to turn me off of meat for life. Well, for this week at least. Becoming a vegetarian is not something I think I would have ever actively pursued, but thanks to the events of last week, I have a hard time eating any kind of meat without thinking of the cow, or pig or chicken that it came from. And it's not that I'm extremely sad for the poor cows or whatever, (although I do feel a bit sorry for them) but it really, genuinely grosses me out.
If this keeps up, I think I'll officially be a veg-head. We'll see.
