The Non-Conformist Oath

There's Nothin quite so shameful as a double quarter pounder with three slices of cheese made freshly for you as you go through a drive thru at 2am. The beef may be 100% aAstralian, but it's not 100% meat, the incredibly high proportion of fat in the burgers. I know something died to give me that degree of satisfaction, and all the other people that shared in that particular cow. If it all came from the same cow. I should plug Adbusters and Eric Scholsser's Fast Food Nation here, as I've probably done around this time last year, as part of the motivation of goin vegetarian.

The Motivation for giving Vegetarianism up? well, it depends. It's different to the motivation for that first Ogalo burger, which made me appreciate the level of emotion that women put into chocolate, i'd never had food make me feel so good. it's not the same as giving up the practice, it could've just been a momentary lapse. I still believe the was that animals are slaughtered is improper and don't appropriately recognise the sacrifice of a life to sustain another. But then when you have to cook 6 nights a week and you never really fully honed your vegetarian cookery skills, it's so much easier to just slice up some chicken breast, dunk it in lemon/lime juice, and then a breadcrumb/flour/spices crumbing, and bung it in the pan, along with some mash potato and some packet pasta.

So anyway we all went out for Tom's 22nd on Sat Nite, pretty good night thou I though Kim Godley in the group of people that were loosely linked to Jenny, and that just wierded me out, (godley is as godley does). It's hard to get my chronology right around this time (post-cruise), cos it's not too distant from my kidney kidnapping. I think thou, she was the last girl i'd kiseed before I got the morphine. no wait, there was that other girl at the party itself. heh heh. still, I'd rather Larissa had been there instead of Grafton, or that Jenna didn't have the bum's rush of exams.

I could get in serious trouble for these hintings in this public place, but i'm wiling to risk it, cos right now I'm not committed to no-one no-where no-how. Deleted Geneva's number from my phone, as well as the few msgs. also decided to call her Geneva from now on, it's much more cirumspect thou those in the know'll get it.

If anything, this is a writing excercise, to keep my tryping fingers in shape if not actually refining my prose atm. might whip out this Writing Creative Non-Fiction book I've been dabbling with for the past many years, but never had the willlingness to just sit down and write. the way i've been going with this blog thou it might be a good idea, make it more readable to a wider audience.

As it is, this entry's getting too long without getting much into anything. I'll be havin ppl over come 1st July, bit of a end of exams fling, and a last wazoo before i find out how much tax I owe. all invited of course, but If I'm workin than maybe not. posted by Keegan at 8:29 pm
