Charley is a vegetarian. Get over it. Gaaah...I feel like such a hypocrite. Considering my dad used to raise cattle to slaughter...'vegetarian' was a bad word in my house. Similar to 'John Deere.' But after living with Kayla so long, you begin to see that it is possible to be vegan/vegetarian and not be completely deprived of goodness. Not only that, but so far, I feel soo much better phisically and mentally. I never really thought such a small change would have such a great effect. I just feel better about myself, too. Like, i'm doing something for ME. I'm changing something about me, and I really like the change. I know that in the past I have said that I didn't understand vegetarianism, mostly because of overpopulation of animals and about how that is a cause of disease whatnot, but you know what, I highly doubt that one vegetarian, (especially in nebraska, the meat eating capital of the world...okay, I exaggerate) is going to make a significant change the the world. And, i'm not sure if this is a permanant change or temporary, like a test trial, or whatever, but for right now i'm enjoying it. I guess we'll se just how long I can last. Oh, well...go me, anyway, just for the effort.
