It’s surprising how many people would probably be serial killers

I’ve been seriously playing with the idea of being a vegan again. This excites and worries me. I’m excited because I already eat tones of organic food and I would get to shop at the super trendy health store great reasons eh? It’s awalys been very clear that food really effects my mood (whether it be the biology of it: blood sugar ups and downs or the psychology of it: my love hate relationship with food). Making a change like this would really be directed at making me feel better in both of these areas.

I’m worried because lets face it, this is control. With the gym one or two times a day, history with food, my thesis, and coursework, waiting to hear back from grad school, and squeezing in social time I’m spread a little thin.

All of that considered I also have to acknowledge that this is my life. I ultimately want to be vegan, and I should start living the type of life I want. If I don’t now what makes me think I will later. Cease The Day! I’ve been cigarette free since mid-december so maybe I should ride the momentum as far as it will take me.

On the schedule for this week: thesis stuff due, midterm, pool night with the philosophy girls(including my thesis advisor-note to self don’t drink too much), advanced free screening of ‘be kind rewind,’ and of course my mom. She is coming into town for the first time sans my dad.
This means 4 things: many martinis, free groceries (yay! organic is not cheap), nice meals in restaurants, and maybe… just maybe... I’ll ask her to smoke pot with me… probably not.

Here’s my philosophical tid-bit. Be a moral factionalist. It allows you to really like a theory but still know it’s wrong. I really like deontology because it’s pragmatic, but I’m still willing to believe morality is false.
