Un-Vegan

For 3 months I was on a strict vegan diet. With only a couple of minor deviations I consumed no animal products at all. This was a choice based on my belief that factory farms are cruel and immoral places. A second consideration was health. I thought perhaps a vegan diet would be healthier and maybe result in weight loss. After all, have you ever seen a fat vegan? (only when I look in the mirror!)

I still know factory farms are awful places, but the health side I've reconsidered. I noticed a couple of months into my strictest vegan eating that I was feeling weak. Really! When I added in more cheese and meat I felt better. So, to prove how erratic, inconstant, fickle and perhaps just plain unstable I am I'm going to go back to what I call the Un-Vegan diet. Low carb high fat and high protein. Here is why, I've tried the balanced meal food pyramid moderate eating that is supposed to be good for you. I've done absurd amounts of exercise at the same time to try and burn more calories than I took in. My weight didn't budge. I ate vegan for months and lost zilch. In the past I went on a very low fat diet and barely lost any weight. But when I was at 220 pounds and went on a low carb diet I lost over 25 pounds and it stayed off! So I'm going back to what worked for ME, sorry animals but you're on your own. It is more blessed to ask forgiveness than permission.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.

iTom: Free Music From Tom Smith: 047: Everything Is Dangerous

047: Everything Is Dangerous The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. And all the other stuff. I actually had a song, "Be Afraid", written last week. But it was... preachy. Too preachy. If-you-want-to-send-a-message-use-Western-Union preachy. Wasn't what I wanted. And then I saw this news story , and I knew I'd found my hook. I mean, apparently I must've been vacationing in the Alps when pet turtles were outlawed back in 1975, but I surely remember all of the kids who got salmonella playing with our adorable little buddies. Oh, wait, I don't remember a single one because I never knew a kid who got sick playing with a turtle. Neither did I know a kid who was made prone to violence from watching Road Runner cartoons, but that's neither here nor there. As Lois McMaster Bujold says, you can't make your kids safe -- you can only teach them how to be safe, and hope for the best. Or, as Leslie puts it, you
