If slaughterhouses had glass walls those who eat meat will still eat meat.

Currently Listening to: Baby - Justin Bieber

Current mood: Tired

A few minutes ago I watched a short documentary called "If Slaughterhouses had glass walls everyone would be vegetarian." starring the one and only, Sir Paul McCartney. Now most people would say that since watching this their going to become vegetarian. Now me I question this. I wonder, how many slaughterhouses are featured in the clips they show. They never say how many slaughterhouses their are in the world and how many of these use these horrific techniques and how many choose to be more humane. Although I'm sure there are many that choose these inhumane actions, I'm also sure that that there are just as many or more then are humane about their actions. Another thing I question is if slaughterhouses are this inhumane and everyone clearly knows it why doesn't the UN or some leaders of the countries where these slaughterhouses can be found put a stop to it all by making it illegal to treat animals this way.

I'm sure stopping eating meat can stop the slaughter of these poor animals but unless a huge market becomes vegetarian all at once it's not going to make much of a difference  because the animals are still going to be slaughtered and put on the shelves for non-vegetarians to eat.

I'm not trying to say that people shouldn't become vegetarian because it's a lost cause I'm saying that  the government needs to do something to help the animals right now. Waiting for the world to become vegetarian will take years but the government can do something now. They can make it illegal to treat animals in such a way and crack down harder on these slaughterhouses. Having annual inspections every 3 months or so and if they find something wrong they shut down the slaughterhouse and get the animals the help they need to recover.

I'm a meat eater. I like my meat. I was once told my a doctor that I had to eat a lot of red meat because I have anemia which means I have low iron in my blood. I become very tired and fatigue. Yes I had to take iron pills but eating red meat also helped with my condition. I didn't have an extreme case but there are very extreme cases out there. So eating meat can be a good thing because face it no one wants to be dependent on medications most of their life. Becoming vegetarian means your not getting your proper nutrients you would normally get from meat so you have to start taking medications. These medications can start to get expensive.

If you watched the video you would have notice that when Sir Paul McCartney spoke about vegetarians being more healthy he show Kiera Knightly and Tobey Maguire.  #1) They are celebrities and have a lot of money to spend on treatments and special medications that insurance may not pay for. #2) I haven't seen much of Tobey Maguire lately (probably cause I'm not a spiderman fan) but in the past year or two Kiera Knightly was on tabloid covers looking anorexic. If thats healthy then god help us.

I'm not trying to say that you shouldn't become vegetarian. I have nothing against people who are vegetarian. It's their choice or it's your doctors orders. But I'm saying if you do become vegetarian you have to be careful. Also, stop putting people who choose to eat meat down. It's our decision or our doctors orders. If you should be angry at anyone or be calling out to anyone its the government. They are the ones who are just sitting by and allowing this to happen without putting a stop to the inhuman slaughterhouses.

I'm sorry PETA I'm sure you think your doing a lot to help the animals and I'm sure you are to an extent but why not try a different approach. Like finding more humane ways the slaughterhouses could use. Yes they may still be killing the animals but at least their doing it in a way that will keep the animal in mind and not just their own stomachs.

Stay in School

Currently Listening to: Nothing

Current Mood: Annoyed

You're probably wondering why I'm annoyed. Well that would be because I have to go to work tonight. Although its only for four hours it's still pretty annoying. Those four hours are keeping me from going to Grand Bank today.  You know what I would rather be doing from 5:30 to 9:30 relaxing, or hanging with friends. Basically anything that doesn't involve me serving people or pouring coffee. So here's a message for all you kids in the grades 10 and up who have a choice to stay in school or not. Stay in school. Working at a minimum wage job for the rest of your life is not a fun thing. Use condoms or some sort of birth control... or better yet, don't have sex. Because if you get pregnant you aspirations or going to university are practically gone down the drain. You won't have time to go to school you will have to work all the time to pay pills and support you and your child and when you aren't working your going to have to take care of  that child. So explain to me where school is available to be put in the picture? So be safe and get a high school education and then a university diploma and a good job and be ready to support a family. Just remember Tim Horton uniforms are not flattering... at all!

Curently Listening to: Nothing

Current Mood: Bored

I'm only blogging because I have nothing to do. I'm sitting in my somewhat packed up apartment with a major headache. The only sounds are from my refrigerator and Violet (my rabbit) drinking water from her water bottle thing (I don't know the proper term for it). I suppose there are lots of things I could be doing. I still have packing to do, I could play my WWE ps2 game (yes I own a wrestling game), or I could give Scott's COD 3 game a try ( I did not ask to borrow it it was left here by him by accident), I could watch some TV or a movie, I could work on my photography course, I could read. The list just keeps on growing. But this headache doesn't allow me to do very much. Noise would just hurt me. The clicking of the keys is bad enough. I've already taken a couple of Tylenol and thats not really helping. So I'm stuck here typing this to no one because no one will probably read it. But if you are reading it you should be glad that I shall no longer be wasting your time. Good Bye

Loud Music not only blocks out people but it helps you think!

Currently Listening To:  Britney Spears - 3 - Single – 3

Current Mood: Bored

The only reason  I’m writing this is because I’m pretty much bored.  I have 3 blasting into my ears through my earphone as too not bother Scott because I’m sure Britney Spears would be a distraction to the hockey game. I don’t know about anyone else but I don’t enjoy hockey as much on TV as I do in the actual arena. So in other words I don’t really want to listen or watch it so I’m blasting music into my hears so loud I can’t actually hear anything that is outside my head and you know what? It’s actually really refreshing. Next time your upset or just want to be alone get your computer or mp3 playing and put it on blast in your ears and it feels like your alone. Of course your not and your best friend is next you trying to talk to you but your ignoring them… or maybe not haha. But just try it. But it has to be blasting! That way you can’t hear a thing only the song that going in through your ears. Surprisingly it makes it a lot easier to think. I can truely hear my thoughts without the cell phone or TV distracting me from the thoughts going on inside my head. Maybe I should use this technique to make decisions. Like what I want to do in University because to be honest I actually don’t know what to do. I’m doing a bachelor of psychology because it leads to a lot of other things I could do. I could continue on and do my masters and get a job with it or I could become a lawyer or I could because a social worker or a guidance counsellor. The possibilities are endless. This week  I’m thinking dream interpreter. That must be a pretty cool job. Interpreting peoples dreams to help them with their problems. Yeah as of right now I’m a dream interpreter. Lets see how this will last. lol Well I suppose I’ve wasted enough of your time although I’m sure Kandice Stacey and John all enjoy reading these and finding out what going on in my mind and such.

Blogging on my iPod.

I found this blogging app for my iPod. Which is really great for times like these when I'm in the mood to blog but not in the mood to sit up.

So anyway, I'm not feeling the best and I can't sleep. It really sucks. Being sick is brutal. I'm coughing up a storm which is making me stomach sick. I really don't wanna miss out on work tomorrow but I have a feeling that's what's going to happen.

Mucho Masturbation

Currently Listening to: Nothing

Current mood: sexually frustrated

There’s a lot of hormonal talk with a few  of my friends. I’m talking about masturbation with one friend, being easy with another, etc.  As a teenager/young adult I realize my hormones are at it’s peak and it’s peak is really high for us virgins. So what do we do to get rid of these urges? Masturbate? Well I’m a female and female masturbation isn’t as accepted as male unless your a lesbian (even though we all know most females do it) Well how about going out and finding someone to have sex with you? Well then your called a slut. So unless you have a significant other you’re screw or should I say not screwed.  So it’s possible that the reason people put so much importance on being in a relationship because otherwise they wouldn’t be getting any. Am I wrong for thinking this? I think it’s should be publically acceptable for anyone to masturbate. And if someone wants to have sex with someone that's there decision. Now if there having sex with a different guy all the time that's a different story. But having sex with one guy multiple times without being emotionally with them is just getting the frustrations out.  Face it, hormones suck! And we have to find someway to deal with them. it would be easier to do if it were publically acceptable, no matter what way you choose.

Good Riddance

Currently Listening to: - - Dixie Chicks - Good Bye Earl

Current Mood: No remorse

About 15 mins ago i wrote a blog where I felt remorse for getting angry with someone who was only being honest with me. I no longer feel that remorse.  I should feel upset. Yes they was being honest with me but still that person knew it hurt and should have chose a better way to say it. I have all the right in the world to be angry.
