My dreamlife

I often dream of Apocalypse. I dream that hell is upside down and amongst us. I've dreamt this for years, fighting the last fight to be the lone survivor. You can or cannot interpret this. One of my favorite past-times is assessing how I would handle an actual apocalypse. Am I prepared? Where is my tent, do I have enough water and what is my item of barter? Will I leave my own home in search of better shelter, will my neighbors turn into zombies and do I have to give them our food if they don't? How do alliances work in a post-apocalyptic world? Who are your friends in the end and how do you find them in a burning wasteland. My BF and I sit around, chatting about the ends of the earth and whether we are good candidates for survival. Maybe it's all the post-apocalyptic movies I watch, or the incessant voice of Anderson Cooper in my head, but I fear for the world and hope that we have til at least 2012, the fated end of the Mayan calendar, to figure things out for ourselves, without that extra little push from Iran.

being homeless

I think that homeless people have it hard these days, what with humans paying for everything with plastic. Who has change? Let alone spare change.

Predictionist

Tonight on Coast-to-coast AM Evelyn Paglini is coming on to talk about her past predictions and how precise they have been. Think, wildfires, tornadoes and school shootings. Yesterday another school shooting occurred only the wildfires in CA overshadowed that bit of tragic news. Tune in: 2Am; in Philly AM 1210 is airing the broadcast as well. She may be a witch , but she can sure see the future. Tonight I'm couch-bound with an ear to the radio, just like the olden days of yore, for the early AM broadcast. You will be amazed.

Pork fins

Discovery News, yesterday, posted a story on how Asians are attempting to replace the beloved shark fin, the main ingredient for shark fin soup, with artificial fins made from pork. Sharks are becoming extinct, and fisherman simply cut off that essential fin and discard the helpless animal back into the water to rot and die. So instead, they've decided to kill pigs. Because we can breed pigs they are therefore disposable.
I've been eating in Chinese vegetarian restaurants since the dawn of time. And Vegetarian Shark Fin graces the menu of nearly every place. Instead of using gelatin made out of pork, eww, use aspic, seaweed or arrowroot. Or just move on, realizing that your barbaric practice of eating fins off nearly animals is way due for an extreme overhaul.

on going green

Last night, as part of their "green-themed" week, CNN had on a CEO of a major company and a list of the top ten greenest companies in the US. Something along those lines, anyway.
The CEO was from Stonyfield Farms. Hey, isn't their biggest product yogurt? Isn't yogurt made from dairy? Dairy comes from Dairy Cows, which make up some of the most putrid, rankest methane-infused shit you can imagine. Which in turns causes global warming, organic or not. Going vegan is the single best thing you can do to help the planet. Bite the bullet and make a difference. Take that CEO.

Ranting

On my twenty minute walk to work today I saw 12 girls wearing black tunics, leggings and flats. Wait, maybe they were all just the same person, maybe I was seeing double. Regardless, leggings and flats are so Kate Moss 2005. Only supermodels with slender calves can really pull off this look.
During this same walk at an early hour on a Monday I was assaulted numerous times with wafting scents of burning flesh...Meat to some of you fools. When are we going to realize that all this meat we are burning offends some, kills many, and is cruel and unusual punishment to creatures with whom we co-habitate. I smell rotting, burning flesh and my tummy flips, turns and almost comes back to my mouth; you, on the other hand, might salivate.
I tolerate cigarettes to a point, hell even smoked more than a few in my uninformed youth. But can someone please explain to me why cigars are not outlawed? I am not the only one who gets migraines the moment I smell a waft. I find it inexcusable that I am forced to deal with cigars on my own turf. Smoke 'em in your own private clubs with your other stuffy, over-dressed white-man friends. Please don't puff on the sidewalk, the park or anytime before noon. In Texas they are starting to bring this to legislation, and those Texans sure ain't happy. Boo hoo for you big guy with the oil plant and ten-gallon hat, we all deserve clean air to breathe. Aren't you doing enough damage already with your republican vote?
