• Ahhhh, Palm Sunday, what better way for me to spend it than using my palm!

  I didn’t have much going on this weekend, so I decided to rent a movie. Ok, so it actually turned into 4 movies, 3 of which I have already watched. One of them was a documentary called Jesus Camp, which was downright frightening, but more on that movie later this week. Another one was Fast Food Nation, which was not a documentary, but it might as well have been. It makes such a strong statement on fast food and meat production in this country that it left me wondering if I will ever eat fast food again. Then again, I have gone a couple of years without eating fast food, so its not like it would be a big loss. Still, there are a lot of extras on the dvd that really make you think. Sure, the movie itself was kind of average, but it was the message and meaning of the movie that is the real value of the movie. A lot of the stuff about how they treat the cows in the fast food industry I already knew, but how they slaughter the cows and treat the workers at these meat packing plants I did not know. Sure, this is just a fictional movie, but judging by the extra on the dvd, I think it is probably an accurate depiction of the industry. Now, I have never been an animal rights person, but even I have some limits to treatment of animals. Plus, the whole process is not healthily for anybody who eats this type of food. The whole thing is a damn disaster, and most people don’t even know it. Sure, there are many reasons to stop or  cut back on eating fast food, but if all of those obvious reasons (including the ones I have mentioned) don’t make you change, than I will be disgustingly honest. When you eat fast food, you are a lot more gassy and spend more time on the shitter. You don’t realize it until you stop eating that way how much better the food flows through your body. Your stomach feels better, you just in general, are healthier. This, if for no other reason, should make you realize how unhealthy this stuff is and automatically question how it is made. Sure, it tastes good, but honestly, put your typical fast food meal up against a normal cooked meal and to be honest, its no competition.

  Last night, Mark, Amy and Addison came over for dinner. John made chilli, which always kicks ass. After dinner, we had ice cream from Coldstone, which was good, but probably a little bit over priced. Anywho, we sat around talking and watching some shows on the Discovery times channel on serial killers. Finally, about 10:30, we had a knock on the door, which was probably a little scary because of what we were watching. But, as John pointed out, a serial killer is not going to knock before coming in. Turns out, it was Dave. He bought a new car, trading in his Escort for a Chrysler Pacificia. Its pretty damn nice. Of course, Kelli will be the one driving it everyday since she takes Natalie to daycare. But, for the first time since I’ve known him, Dave no longer has a Ford Escort. This thing was well past its time, it was 13 years old and had many problems, I’m not even going to get into it because Dave tells the story about the car’s condition much better than I do. Still, to show how bad it was, he got only $50 for the car, and by his own admission, he thought that was a lot. As he was leaving my house he said that now Randy is alone in driving a car that is old and in need of being replaced.

  You know, if you went on musical taste to determine somebody’s sexuality, than I’m completely straight and my brothers are both gay. Last night, Mark and John were talking about cds that they own. Just listen to these gay ass cds they have: Wilson Phillips, Celine Dion, Michael Bolton, Mariah Carey, Elton John, and Bon Jovi among others. See, I’m not saying that they are bad………….ok, some of them are. But, all I’m saying is that those are all either chick music or gay guy music. Bon Jovi is John’s favorite band of all time, and when you think about it, chicks are Bon Jovi’s main fan base. Sure, guys might like some of their songs, but most guys only listen to Bon Jovi and go to the concerts to get laid. Now, I’m not saying that I love the most masuline music, after all, I’m a big Sheryl Crow fan and have owned some Mariah cds back in the day myself. But, for the most part, I’m not into any of your typical gay music or chick shit. You won’t find any Celine Dion or Wilson Phillips in my collection. And although Mark and John do like most of the same stuff I like (Metallica, The Black Eyed Peas, Mellencamp, Van Halen, among many others), but I’m just saying based on music, they are gayer than me.
