You should see the movie Shortbus. But do not watch it with kids or family around. This is John Cameron Mitchell’s message of love to the human race. After your hymen has been punctured by the first several minutes, you’ll have a glorious and beautiful film about mercy and redemption to watch. It’s hilarious and moving, often in the same beat. And the soundtrack is incredible.
I have recently become a vegetarian. I have always had a problem with meat, because something very special has to die in order to feed people like me. That special thing is life, which is a precious and wonderful thing. Therefore, any form of life which is likely to experience self-awareness is on my “do not eat your friends” list.
I damn near died Sunday night. Ironically, I had eaten a microwavable vegetarian dinner, and hadn’t bothered to notice that it contained nuts. I had red bumps all over and my throat was definitely constricting. I hadn’t had an allergic reaction like that since early childhood. It was scary. But i didn’t want to get stuck with an $1800 ER/Ambulance bill, so i stayed home throughout. I took a fairly large chance with my life, i guess, and perhaps i shouldn’t have. But i pulled through, thanks in no small way to Holly.
One reply on “life”
I am happy that you are vegetarian, but alittle sad that you almost died because of it.
I don’t like to preach vegetarianism, because no one likes to listen to it, and at the end of the day the 4 page essay I could write on the benefits of it would never match the meat eaters argument of: “but, it TASTES good”
