Lazy Saturday

I stumbled across this video as I was looking for uplifting songs for the weekend.  This one is not exactly uplifting and actually makes me kinda sad, but I still find it beautiful.

Eating Animals

I recently started reading this book and it is slowly turning me into a vegetarian.  I didn't really eat that much meat anyway, but reading about factory farming and how the animals are treated makes it that much easier to eliminate meat from my diet.  I used to love having chicken as an ingredient in dishes, but after learning about how all the chickens are basically sick and pumped full of antibiotics while sitting in their own waste, the thought of eating chicken grosses me out.  I think I would still eat meat if I knew that it came from a sustainable farm where animals were happy and healthy, but these days it seems like those farms are far and between.  So if you ever want to learn more about factory farming and where animals that we eat likely come from, check out this book.

Too little, but never too late

So I've been reading random blogs that I've happened to stumble across, and finally decided to create my own blog.   My goal is to use this as a means of being able to comment on other blogs that I find interesting or that I feel that I can connect with, and also just to document events and random things that happen in my own life.  Here's to new connections and new insights :)  Rock my world blogspot! ;)
