So, as many as you know, I’ve moved. Finally. The grass… the trees… the dog shit. Oh, how I’ve missed long island. It’s a beautiful rainy night too, it doesn’t get much better than this. So… I went out to J&R’s steakhouse tonight, I know, I know, ” forgive me father for I have sinned” , I got dragged there by my father and his girlfriend. Btw, I love my father but man is he ever pussy whipped. Seriously, how does this even happen? It’s disgusting and just uncalled for. Anyway, I got dragged there, which they have great sweet potato fries but that’s it, and I didn’t expect much more. I rarely, rarely eat animal protein, but when I do, it’s from Keen’s or Old Homestead, even Ruth chris’, though it’s a chain, is actually pretty fucking good. My favorite, however, is right off the BBQ, and only my fathers. He can do a few things really well, one is his work and two is cook. That said, my father didn’t want to go there, he doesn’t exactly advocate doing so… Carol did. Yes, because SHE knows good food. Uh huh, okay. My father is off the boat italian and is fucking GOOD and she’ll eat a hamburger instead of his food. That said, she also thinks grilled chicken and seafood are healthy. They’re not. They’re so very not. Please challenge me on this because most americans are completely ignorant on this matter and have no idea the severe ramifications that come from eating the way that we do. Educate yourself. You health is your responsibility so please do not become a victim… because I have to pay taxes and I don’t want to pay for everyone’s gluttonous indulgences. Yes, prostitution and drugs are illegal, but chemicals in food, sure, why not. I know when I wake up in the morning there’s nothing I feel like more than a nice bowl of some chemicals and growth hormones and just regular old casein (animal protein alone is a killer), oh yea, just make it taste good and i’m on board. No thank you. Why don’t you just throw me in with the pigs down in Mexico. It is seriously like having sex without a condom. Maybe it feels/tastes really good at the time but not smart. And let’s think now, how many kids under 25 have had children. I know about 100 or so that I was friends with. Yes, seriously, that many. Between all the people who drive drunk, fuck w/o condoms and eat irresponsibly (that does not just pertain to overweight individuals), our country is made up of a bunch of unhealthy, whiny babies. I totally and utterly agree with the French. Respect yourself, respect the people around you and educate yourself. There is no harm in not knowing, it’s not wanting to know, and even worse, having the information in front of you and turning your head away from it, that’s the crime. That’s the ignorance. Every thing you eat makes up every cell and organ in your body, so it’s really not such a huge jump to think that diet directly effects your health… on a huge, massive scale. I know though, it tastes good. And yet, there aren’t any major cures for heart disease or diabetes and yes, even cancer. Hmmm, or try there is a shit load of evidence to prevent it, to even reverse it, but money is always more important. Because the truth could cause an economic crisis. You can’t buy stock in fresh broccoli. But then, would people even listen? We all want the easy way. We treat our bodies like cars. Not bentleys or camaros, but more like a 1992 camry that we can just bang around with, get a tune up, change the oil, get new brakes on, and then just buy a new one when it can no longer be revived. Only, when cars die, that’s possible. When car’s need to be fixed, they are not in pain. People on the other hand, well we die. We feel pain. The truth is, we don’t have too. Not the way we do at least. These aren’t natural diseases that come with aging. They’re not natural at all. We have one thing we can control in our lives. Ourselves. Everything else is an illusion. But, if we chose to take control over ourselves, our actions, if we really take it, that is power. An enormous amount of power. Look around you, that concept has alluded most people. Don’t just say you do, don’t just say you will, but really look, really see people. Not just from the outside but from the inside (no, not jeffery dahmer style). Look at the parts of people that they don’t show you. Look behind their facades. Everyone is running, grasping, reaching away from themselves. Usually with some hope to find themselves. It’s like in high school when you had to do a project and you looked around you at around else’s to make sure yours looked like theirs. How to know whose right though? I don’t know, maybe i’m just talking out of my ass. Maybe i am just ranting. Maybe in fifteen years i’ll be miserable and lost like everyone else. Maybe some of you think that’s cute but I’m still young now. Well that would be quite naive on your part now because life doesn’t care how old you are, it happens to you regardless. As I watch people, closely, I find, that there isn’t much difference between teenagers and adults, 25 yr olds and 35 yr olds. There are a few degrees, job experience, love experience, life experience, naturally, yes. Varying degrees, but the more time you clock, well you know. That said, most people don’t learn. Lots of people are in the insanity cycle. If you don’t get that, look up the definition of insanity. Don’t be lazy, look it the fuck up. Anyway, it’s true. Stupid people and intelligent people all over the world are making the same mistakes, hitting their thumbs with the hammer repeatedly and crying out in pain but never thinking to take the hammer away, never thinking to stop…. Never stopping to think. If that’s even possible. Schools were first introduced to teach people to think. To use their minds. Now instead, schools just teach children what to think, instead of how to think. Then the government and society does the rest. Adults tell kids to think for themselves, but many times they don’t know how to themselves or what that even means. It’s a pity. A fucking, fucking, fucking shame.
And here I thought this blog was going to be about steak. Oh well, I tried.
I’m finished now. Rather, I’m finished FOR NOW.
