Carrot Heads And Cabbage Munchers

Everyone has the right to eat what they want. It’s their bodies after all. However, it turns out that there are pressure groups for the promotion and forced choice of vegetarianism. Constant promotion and ego boosting articles on how they’re better than meat eating “scum”.

We have K9 teeth for a reason. There designed to rip apart meat and break it into manageable juicy chunks. If we weren’t mean to eat it, then surely our bodies would not have evolved to eat meat. Meat provides us with the energy we need. Its also part of a nutritious diet. It helps us build up our bodies, as it contains most of the needed things to produce our bodies’ building blocks. Alternatives to this include taking a variety of vitamin pills and supplements. Yes, pumping chemicals into your body is far better than eating the real thing.

The main reason people become veggies, which I have heard, is that they disagree with the way the animal is killed, “cruelly” in a slaughterhouse. However, if this is their only reason for not eating meat, then what about animals they kill themselves? Apparently not. For example, a friend of mine is quite happy to go out shooting pheasants, but wouldn’t eat them due to them being “slaughtered”. Their quite happy to kill them, but eat them? No, I guess that’s a step too far.

I’m all for animal rights, it’s just that the idea we do not need to eat meat is one which is stupid at best. Lions, Tigers, even Pigs eat meat. Sure there are some animals which are able to live off a healthy lifestyle of grass and shrubbery, but their designed to do that. We as humans are naturally omnivores. The idea of only eating one type of food is self-inflicted humanistic rubbish which is designed to make us feel personally better about ourselves. Well done, you’ve beaten yourself. I hope that makes you a happier, healthier person.

Each to their own, but remember, meat is murder. Socially acceptable, tasty, good for you murder.

Analog To Digital

Due to a family project I’m working on, I have just come to remember how much I love, and hate, video editing.

My parents have video footage from 1990 onwards, all shot on a Video8 camera. Now we live in the digital age, my parents want the footage put onto DVDs so that we’ll always have a copy of these moments in some form.

However, the entire process takes a long, long time. For each tape, I have to follow this process…
Video Tape + Testing + Editing + Compression + Burning To DVD + Testing = Wonderful DVD Of Memories
This takes up a lot of time and resources. Hard Drive space is limited at best, so the search for more space is needed. Plus I need somewhere to archive it digitally as well. Oh my, the list goes on.

On the plus side however, this means I have a whole load of archive footage which I can use whenever I want to add spice to my videos. Plus, I can see video from my past. I remeber bits and bobs as a kid, but video adds to it all. Anyway, with it all being digital, it means I’ll have a copy for the next 40 to 50 years at least. Something to show future relatives. Just like this blog. :)

My Shit Don’t Stink

Friends will be friends. And friends lend each other things. Like books, CD’s or money.  As a good friend you’ll pay money you owe back, and on the time you say you will. I made the mistake of doing so to a so called “friend”.

Oh I never pay back. Why should I. You know it’ll come back to you in some other form some time. I don’t have to pay you back.

Well, I gave you a £10 which you said you would pay back on Friday. Today is Friday and you won’t pay it back because you “never do”. Doesn’t that make you a scumbag.

Stop being a cunt just because you want me to pay which I won’t!

 Ok,  I guess this problems my entire fault. Not yours. Guess I was just silly for making the mistake of trusting you. Oh yeah, I trusted you before. Guess your just an untrustworthy fucker.

Stop going on about it. Jesus, your pathetic!

Why not, I just want what you owe me. If I owed you £10, wouldn’t you want it back? Notice how most of the problems we have are to do with something you have done or said. Stop being a diva and do something about it. All of your problems you have not sorted, but take extream action to add to it. Do you have ADD, or is there a legit reason you have to be the center of attention?

Luckly for me, Wikihow.com seemed to have a guide for what to do in this situation. It’s pretty much a combonation of keeping your cool, and perservering. Keep going onto people who owe money which they won’t, not can’t, pay back. 

This experance had led me to learn a lot about a friend. who I know have there number. So friend, if your reading this, pay up. I won’t forget, and I’ll make sure you won’t.

[Update] Friend has since reported that payment shall be made on the 1st. Lets hope he keeps this one.

[Update * 2] He kept his word. I win. :)

Oh Great, Hail!

You know this April showers malaquy, they said nothing about hail (or snow for that matter). Alas I didn’t prepare, and received a full blast of frozen rain.

One minuet is hot and warm, the next its fecking freezing! No sorta of patten to it, just crazy, unpredictable weather. Bah, grumble grumble! :x

Hezus Panther

Theres around 40,000 people in Winchester. Mainly white, middle-class, Christians. This time of the year, its near Easter, infact today is Good Friday. This year, a group have put on a full production of Jesus’s big day in the center of Winchester. A lot of works gone into this. Its all prepared, dramamtised and full of speacil effects.

Almost all of Winchester is going, walking about in a rally-like group, to watch a black man carry a cross and eventually be tortured to death on it. Does that strike anyone as a little Ku Klux Klanish?

No, it’ll be fine. I mean, even the Armys taking part. A group of people whose job it is to go to other countrys and kill other people of a different background. I guess they cant be racist, can they?

As I was walking home from the train station, I saw the crowd and managed to get this quick snap. Its blurry, but you can see around 500 - 1000 people in the “precession”. Hope it doesn’t rain tonight…
