Don't Be A Pussy
“Yes, you have to put yourself before your friends, parents, boyfriend, husband and even your children. It won’t make you a bad daughter or wife or mother; it will make you a less resentful, more confident, interesting, beautiful, patient, tolerant, and fun person to be around. Your bright, shining light will give everyone around you the permission and inspiration to shine more...
Forever After
Let me sleep forever,
Please don’t wake me with your kiss.
Just let me sleep forever,
I’m someone you won’t miss.
If you let me sleep forever,
I promise you’ll be just fine.
Let me sleep forever,
Or promise me, you’re mine.

Paper Bag
I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star
To pray on, or wish on, or something like that
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had
But then the dove of hope began its downward slope
And I believed for a moment that my chances
Were approaching to be grabbed
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
I thought it was a bird, but...

I Caught Myself
Down to you
You’re pushing and pulling me down to you
But I don’t know what I
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should’ve never thought

Leave Me Be
The voices in my head just won’t leave me be
They whisper all day
Like the ringing in your ears
The leaves blowing in the wind
Like the grumbles in the pit of your stomach
The voices in my head just won’t leave me be
They scream throughout the night
Like the murder victim down the street
The starving child that haunts your dreams
The wife who’s husband gives her...

Evolution vs. Intelligent Design
For years, the scientific community has debated where intelligent life on Earth began. The Cambrian explosion begins the controversy with species of unprecedented complexity arising in a very short period of time. The development of complex organs such as the eyes of vertebrates and the flagella of bacteria continue to stump specialists. Whales have baffle scientists for decades with their...

Battle Of The Smartphones
Things I don’t really like about my new iPhone:
-I can’t change the amount of time it gives me to “snooze” for my alarms.
-Constantly having to avoid people’s drool as the gawk at it. (because it’s so damn beautiful)
-It doesn’t mark my emails as “read” on anything but the phone itself.
Best things about my new iPhone:
-ALL of the apps are...

We're All Selfish Bastards
You pretend you don’t care,
to avoid being used.
You convince yourself you’re better than them,
so their judgments don’t hurt.
You act like it’s no big deal,
even if you’re hating every minute of it.
When you see a post like this you think,
“goddamn it, another over-emotional teen”.
When I write a post like this I think,
“goddamn it, another...

Dead Like Me
I’d say I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’m not. I excel at not giving a crap. Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation begets disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C or A or whatever. I also don’t have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell,...

Random: How'd you girls do?

Random: Oh, you'll get 'em next time!

Random: Who do you guys play next?
Me: Loyola; on Monday.

Me: Ha ha yeah...
Random: Well, goodluck!
Me: Thanks.
*10 minutes later*
Random: So are you a forward or a back?
Me: Forward.
Random: What position?
Me: I'm a flanker. Sometimes an 8. How about you?
Random: I'm a back. Because I'm small. A winger.
Me: Right. Makes sense.
Random: Yeah. Oh! That's my mom. See yeah later!
Me: Uh huh.
Random: Have a good night.

Jack Shit!
For some time many of us have wondered who is Jack Shit? We find ourselves at a loss when someone says, “you don’t know Jack Shit”. Well, thanks to my efforts you can now respond in an intellectual way. Jack Shit is the only son of Awe Shit who married Oh Shit. In turn Jack Shit married Noe Shit. The couple had 6 children: Holie Shit, Giva Shit, Fulla Shit, Bull Shit and the...

Inner Peace...
Some doctor on television this morning said that the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started.
So I looked around my house to see things I’d started and hadn’t finished. Before leaving the house this morning I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of shhhardonay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of vocka, apockage of Prunglies, tha marinder of botl of...
There once was a boy who thought he was cool
He had lots of friends when he started high school
Then he met a girl
But he made her hurl
And then she left town to be rid of him

Round two came about rather quickly
But this time he decided to be picky
She said “hello”
He responded ”hell no”
It’s okay now she’s with someone way hotter

Then one day he...

4/20 Celebrations!
Chandler: Shut up Tavia! Tell you what, we'll make you a vegan pot cake for tomorrow.
Tavia: SERIOUSLY?! CAN WE DO THAT?
Chandler: Yeah!
Mom: What? So the four of us will just sit around tomorrow totally stoned and eating cake?
Tavia: YES! OH MY GOSH! CAN WE?
Mom: Yeah, hold on. Let me just call up my dealer.
Chandler: Don't be ridiculous. Tavias got that covered.
Tavia: It's true! I can take care of that.
Mom: Mhmm. And I suppose you have the money to cover that too?
Tavia: Touche...

Flashback →
I found my blog that I started in 2009.
It’s amazing how much just these 8 posts show.
(From the bottom, up)
The first is about one of the biggest things that made me who I am today. The fight that made me strong.
The second one, at least to me, shows how randomly depressed I was.
I don’t even remember who the third one was about…
The fourth post I wrote on the day I went...

The Origin Of Karma
(Okay, this isn’t exactly the origin of karma but bare with me…)
There once was a man named Darwin. He lived in a time when everyone believed in GOD and GOD created everything. Darwin was adventurous, smart and dare I say rebellious. He set out to the Galapagos Islands to prove his theory. He believed in evolution and natural selection, not GOD.
While the people of his time might not...

Citizen Radio - Guest: Gary L. Francione →
This radio station is fantastic. I swear, they feed my soul.
Anyway, on March 29th they had a Law Professor from Rutgers University call in and speak to them about veganism, speciesism, animals rights activism, and PETA. All I can say is: WOW. I’ve followed this man on twitter ( @garylfrancione ) for quite some time now and he is a huge inspiration to me, but 140 characters obviously...

VEG-O-DRAMA
This week seems to have been quite drama filled for us vegans. The thing is with us vegans is we tend to take ourselves very seriously. Or so I thought.
APPARENTLY, PETA believes we take ourselves a little too seriously. Yes, according to PEOPLE FOR THE ETHNICAL TREATMENT OF ANIMALS vegans need to chill out a little. They released a statement… well I’ll just let you read it:

Point Of View
Thanksgiving dinner’s sad and thankless
Christmas dinner’s dark and blue
When you stop and try to see it
From the turkey’s point of view.
Sunday dinner isn’t sunny
Easter feasts are just bad luck
When you see it from the viewpoint
Of a chicken or a duck.
Oh how I once loved tuna salad
Pork and lobsters, lamb chops too
Till I stopped and looked at...

April 12th - Grade 11
High school. Whoever invented it was a dumbass.
“Hey! Let’s stick all of the kids who live in a relatively close area, who’s hormones are raging, in one building and see if we can get them to believe our biased bullshit.”
WHAT A GOOD IDEA!
Common. There’s got to be a better way to educate the youth of our communities.
Well, for the time being, this is what...

The Garden
Ol’ man Simon, planted a diamond,
Grew hisself a garden the likes of none.
Sprouts all growin’, comin’ up glowin’,
Fruits of jewels all shinin’ in the sun.
Colors of the rainbow,
See the sun and rain grow
Sapphires and rubies on ivory vines,
Grapes of jad, just
Ripenin’ in the shade, just
Ready for the squeezin’ into green jade wine.
Pure gold...

Magic
Sandra’s seen a leprechaun,
Eddie touched a troll,
Laurie danced with witches once,
Charlie found some goblins’ gold.
Donald heard a mermaid sing,
Susy spied an elf,
But all the magic I have known
I’ve had to make myself.

Civilized Vs. Primal Natures
Even though humans see themselves as civilized, some of their instincts are quite primitive. This is creatively illustrated in Yann Martel’s best-seller, Life of Pi. Richard Parker, a Bengal tiger, is used as a symbol of “the beast” within Pi, representing the fear in his own mind. The majestic tiger also symbolizes “the beast” inside Pi; his strong side. He motivates...
