I Am a Vegetarian.

Tonight I decided I wanted to be a vegetarian. I'm actually really excited about it, I think it's going to be a great and more world-friendly way to live. I'm on recipe hunts for really good vegetarian recipes.

I've been finding myself increasingly disgusted with how factory farm animals are treated in the United States. I believe in human rights and freedom, and I don't believe in killing. Animals deserve to be treated with consideration and respect. Killing them doesn't seem like the answer to this. I just can't just justify eating animals anymore. Its simply better for my health, the environment, and the world. I just want to live as peacefully as possible, I guess.

Bizzare Foods Entertain Me.

"Bizzare Foods with Adam Zimmern" is an incredibly informative, culturally enlightening show on The Travel Channel. I stumbled across it last night while I was looking for something on TV that I could actually LEARN from. It was a breath of fresh air from the usual Vh1 and MTV nonsense, or the sugar coated media on the other end of the spectrum.

I was overjoyed to see a show on TV that showed such raw culture through something as simple (or in some cases VERY elaborate) as food. I especially loved to see Adam experience the traditionally rich customs and cuisine of India-the people's love of milk, and rich, tangy spices used in everyday snacks and meals, sold on the street.

Needless to say, I would kill for this job, regardless of the oddities Adam frequently faces. There's not a lot of food that turns my stomach, so I think I would do just fine. The opportunity to eat, travel, and meet new people is an incredible one that anyone would be lucky to have. I highly recommend watching this show!

Starting at 8:00 p.m. ET, Bizzare Foods with Adam Zimmern!

Drive In Theaters Are So Rad.

I went to a drive in a couple weeks ago with my mom and saw "The Strangers." It was a double feature, but we didn't stay for "Prom Night." We went again last week and saw "Don't Mess with the Zohan" and "Jumper." It was so rad. They have the best food ever, and it's such a mom and pop thing. There should be way more drive in theaters in America.
