A couple things

Yesterday at my parents house my brother was going on and on about cod liver oil, fish oils and flax seed oil. He also pushes Apple cider vinegar like a crack dealer. Normally I just tune him out when it comes to this kind of stuff, because even tho I've heard from other sources and people that all those things are good for you, I can't take him seriously. He's the kind of person that will tell you what to do, but does only 20% of it himself. But driving home I realized that just because he doesn't "walk the walk" doesn't mean that I should close my mind to what he was saying. I decided to read a little more about it, and found that there are many reputable sources that say those supplements are very good, and essential! Since I don't eat fish, it's probably an even bigger deal for me. So I bought a bottle of Cod Liver oil pills. It's so weird to think what they are..Oil from the liver of a cod fish? Bleck. but it was only like $4, which is a pretty small amount if it's actually that good for me.

But technically speaking, I'm not really vegetarian anymore. Which is a problem for me..once there's a crack in the dam, how long before the water rushes through? I'm usually at my most militant with black and white issues. But if you throw in different shades of gray, that's where I get into trouble. Since it's a pill and not really food, I think I can contain it, but this will have to be monitored closely! I'm on my own version of "vegetarian suicide watch"! not really. lol.

Other than that, Michael Jackson died recently. One of the first tapes I had when I was a kid was Thriller. I can definitely remember walking around with a Walkman and headset and that album blasting. At one point my mom made me give her the tape for closer inspection because she thought he was saying "Show them How F*cking Strong Is Your Fight" and that was the end of that! I wonder if maybe we were wrong about Michael Jackson. After his death, it is seeming to be more and more possible he wasn't a monster, but was "a delicate soul, in a cruel world" (I heard that on the news this morning).

And the 2 most annoying things about twitter are: not being able to hide people's updates, and the fact that if you unprotect your updates, random dueshbags and fake accounts start following you. But as far as the first one goes..the question is why follow someone, only to hide them? I don't have the answer to that!
