| | Boy, it has been a while hasn't it? Not a whole lot has happened for me to post other then I am back on my diet and sticking to it. I was 291 now I'm down to 265, it's slow going but I'm doing a lot more then just changing my eating habits. I'm walking more, doing some exorcises in the morning and eating more protein then carbohydrates. Like I said, it's slow going and I think its because what they say when you do a crash diet type deal... once you regain the weight, it becomes much harder lose but I don't mind too much... I'm dedicated to it and I look much thinner then I did before. Oh, another thing that has happened is that I broke a tooth. My top, right very last tooth in my mug. It hurt when it popped off, but it doesn't hurt when I drink something cold or eat something hot. Even though it doesn't hurt to do it, I rather not chew on that side anyways for fear of getting an infection of some sorts and not being able to afford the dentist/doctor bills. So I just try to keep it as clean as possible. Anyways, the REAL reason I wanted to post is because of this. Teen Girls Accused Of Setting Kitten Ablaze. 2 teenage girls were caught by a young boy after he heard the screams of the kitten after it was set on fire by the girls. They were laughing as the 8 week old kitten was burning to death, but luckily, in a sense, the boy found them and saved the kitten. The poor thing was burned on over 75% of its body and the girls are only in Juvenile Confinement for only 3 years. Only 3 years. An innocent, defenseless kitten was tortured by 2 young women who are of the age to know better and they only get 3 years. Does the punishment fit the crime? Not in my eyes. In my eyes they lost their rights to live. Yeah I said it. They need to be executed out back, Old Yeller style and even THAT is too good for them. I love animals to death. I value animal lives LONG before I value a human's life. Now, I do value the lives of family and friends by a long shot but when it comes to a total stranger on the street... I prefer to let them drive off the cliff after I cut their break lines. I say all this because I don't believe humans are above animals, we ARE animals. What makes us better then a cat or a dog? The fact that we have thumbs? Build cars and planes? Whoop de fucking doo! Given time and proper conditions, what's to say that a cat wouldn't evolve to be able to build the same things? The monkey did, why not cats? We are all in the same food chain. Once we are out of our protective little houses, we are as vulnerable as any other animal out there. Don't believe me? People are getting mauled by sharks, lions, tigers and bears, oh my! They'll eat our asses quicker then we could eat theirs. Another thing... what creature on this Earth is more destructive then "humans"? NONE. We start wars, we chop down forests and we destroy our ozone. We live in excess and kill our selves but we call ourselves superior. If anything in the animal kingdom, we are the retards of the world. That's it, plain and simple. No animal would shit where they sleep and what do we do? We not only shit on it, we completely and utterly destroy it. And we sit back like nothing is going on. I hate to say it, but some Green Peace and PETA have some good points. I don't go out and advicate nor do I condone what they say and do, but I do agree with some of their points in a sense. Now I'm not saying I'm gonna go out and change my eating habits to eating only vegitables because I like steak. There are nutrients in cows, pigs, chickens and every other type of animal that is commonly eaten on a daily basis that we need and require by eating them and I'm not going to get from a Tofu sammich. I'm not touching Tofu ever. You can beat me until I'm half dead and I still wont eat it.... but I digress. My point is I don't think we should value ourselves higher then any other animal because we ARE animals. Just because we happen to "own" them doesn't make them any less then us. I know its probably corny and cheeseballish, but who really owns who? Anyways, I don't know if I got my point across and I don't even know if half of it makes sense but this is just my opinion and thought process. I could get in deeper on some of the points I brought up but its getting late and I hate to just leave and come back later on because I'll then struggle to try to remember what I was going for. Oh and one more thing about Micheal Vick... The NFL needs to get rid of his ass if he doesn't go to prision for what he did. I don't know if he was there personally or it was a bunch of his friends on his property doing it, either way... he threw his career away with this. I never liked the guy in the first place, sure he was dynamic in the fact that he could haul ass into the inzone and throw a ball if he wanted to, that never made him a fantastic player in my eyes. He doesn't match up to Payton Manning, Donovan McNabb or Tom Brady. I hope he does go to jail and the NFL gets rid of him. Tank Johnson did less then Vick and he was thrown out, do the same to Vick. |
