Going VEGAN

So I have been considering going vegan for moral and health related reasons. I am not currently a stanche vegetarian nor do I eat meat excessively but for the sake of what I feel is right for me and our animal world I have decided that I might try it for a couple weeks and see how it goes.

With that I am enlisting the help of all my co-vegan/vegetarian students to help me out by sending me recipes, advice or whatever you think will assist me on my journey to a healthier lifestyle.

And in return I'll update you on new facts, articles, websites, recipes and anything related that I find!

For starts, did you know celebrity Alicia Silverstone is a vegan with her own website? Would of never guessed! She updates her site with blog entries on new places to eat and other cool stuff. It's called the kind life check it out!

Army chief of staff wants to keep "Don't ask, don't tell" policy

The title pretty much sums this story up. Senator and Army Chief of Staff George Casey has concerns over the expected repeal for the most insignificant reason, because it has been part of Army history.

When I read this, I at least expected him to say something regarding his beliefs or a ridiculous "because of the people" statement conservatives always give. I was shocked to see his response was merely because it's tradition.

So your telling the millions of homosexual citizens of this country to keep hush hush about their lives because you want to keep tradition? Maybe I am overthinking this but how upsetting.

Thoughts?

Get with it, Westboro!

The Westboro Baptist Church protested everything they don't like in Long Beach on Friday outside of Wilson High School on 7th and the Alpert Jewish Community Center.

After reading this article, I can't help but give my young liberal opinion because like any other youth, I want to be heard. I think we have something in common Westboro!

My thoughts:

Your representing the Baptist community by saying that "God hates America" and "God hates Fags"? This is not a Neo-Natzi training camp, this is the public you are talking to! Want to be heard? Then get with the times. No one believes it. And frankly, we all know you are underloved and brainwashed individuals who are looking for anything to feel a connection with. Even if it means hurting others.

I respect your opinion. I don't respect the way you choose to act upon it.

Check their website out at God Hates Fags...yep that's the name of the website. It's scary how nicely put together it is. Which can only mean that their are some pretty serious people out there helping them do this.

Renoir exhibit at LACMA

For all you impressionist admirers, the Los Angeles Museum of Art is displaying various works of the late painter in their exhibit entitled Renoir in the 20th Century.

Some of the works on display include Terrace at Cagnes and Gabrielle and Jean.

I was fortunate enough to see some of Renoir's most famous pieces at the Musee D' Orsay museum in Paris, France and I must say they are all magnifique!

The exhibition is ongoing until May 9th and tickets cost $20 for entry into the exhibit but not the museum. Tickets must be purchased for a specific time on the museum's website.
