At some point this month, I'd like to blog about my thoughts on the written word and my poetry, religion and why I believe what I believe, and homosexuality. I also feel like this blog project is becoming more and more about me saying what I want to blog about. Would that be funny or cruel if I just kept adding to the list and never actually wrote about anything?
#VEDJ and I are getting along rather well. I think I understand how ignorant I've been in the past when it comes to the more devoted vegetarians after a conversation with my mother.
Me: (cooking vegetables and rice)
Mom: "Here, you can add chicken broth, right?"
Me: "What? No, Mom."
Mom: "You need flavoring. Chicken broth is okay."
Me: "It's not! It's completely defeating the purpose."
Mom: "Okay, fine, your meal is going to be bland."
Today is the only day I've really had a meat craving, which was when I was cooking burgers for Thad and Ashley. I just wanted to throw my face into the grill and munch on a big, juicy slice of cow. Instead, as I pointed out above, I cooked my veggies and rice. Thad told me about his future sister-in-law (Missy) being a vegetarian and eating vegetarian wings. It's a strange concept, but he invited me down to Harrisburg to hang out with Ashley and Missy while eating this peculiar food. I have this Friday night off, so I might have to take him up on this offer.
Speaking of cravings, I know I'm going to have more and more if I keep eating veggies and rice. I went to the store several days ago, and I walked out with more fruit juices and healthy snacks than I did meals. I need to go back and get fresh fruit, some kind of milk substitute, and lettuce for salads. My current eating habits, while healthier, are going to leave me jaded and bored.
And that's not something I want to do.
------------------------
VEDJ: Veggies and rice

: A glass of cherry pepsi and a cookie (c'mon, it's a holiday)
EEDJ: 20 laps in the pool. (I have tomorrow night off, so I expect to do more exercising then.)
