My blog.  It’s sorta all over the place.  But so am I, fits me perfectly.

Chicken and fish basically has no iron.  Just a little food (no pun intended) for thought…

So the whole time I was tired as hell, was probably due to anemia.  I don’t eat red meat too often (maybe once or twice a month, max), and leafy greens weren’t my friends (until now).

I have no idea why I felt the need to blog that, but I thought that was important

But, if you eat frosted mini wheats, it has 90% dv for iron in a single serving.  now that i’m transitioning to vegetarianism, and I know my iron levels are always frickin low, I’m going to stock up on that cereal

Can’t wait until I’m officially complete with setting up my blog.  I already have a few posts, and a new follower!  Exciting, I like meeting new people.  Also from the looks of my blog stats I have other people looking at it (it had 10 views yesterday, and 6 today…better than 0 right?) but I’m not sure who they are.  Maybe they’ll introduce themselves soon??

I’ll probably link my blog later this week…but I’m totally enjoying it, and that’s the most important thing about blogging.

Deleting this…

Yeah, I started another blog.  On WordPress.  It’s about something I’m really passionate about (which should be true about any blog), and just starting it off is taking a lot of my time.  I’ve been doing tons of research on other blogs similar to the type that I will be having, and it’s crazy how much work goes into it.  One woman said maintaining her blog (updating, responding to e-mails and comments, taking pics, etc) took an average of 25 hours per week!  Good thing I’m only taking 13 credits this semester.

I actually have another (joint) blog here on tumblr, but it’s anonymous haha. so you’d have to find it on your own.  I told my partner in crime that I might be bowing out of that one too, but we’ll see what happens with it.

Once I really get that blog up and running, I’ll link it here, and then bye bye to this one!

Til then I’ll probably just update like…once a week or something.  Time will tell.

Vegetarianism

I’m not a vegetarian, yet.  But it’s something that I have always been interested in.  My father is a vegetarian, and my religion promotes vegetarianism, but I was always iffy.  

Ever since my father became a vegetarian, my house has seen a decrease in meat use.  My mom now primarily cooks…fish.  And maybe a few oxtails thrown in when she’s making legumes.  That’s it.  So most of my meat consumption comes from when I go out to eat.

I was reading this blog today, and some other books, and I realized something, yes I can too become a vegetarian.  I’m actually more interested in becoming a vegan, but that’s something I would have to slowly (maybe a few years) phase into.  Right now I’m trying to phase into becoming a vegetarian.  We still have a lot of turkey and chicken left in the house, and I don’t want those to go to waste, but once they’re done, then bye-bye meat for me!

I think I’m going to delete my facebook account.  Facebook is becoming so…blah.  I’m just going to transfer all of my pictures to my portable hard drive and then delete delete delete!

hello 4am. fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

ugh…and i gotta get up early tomorrow (later).  3.5 hours of sleep for me? hopefully. maybe. or maybe i’ll be stay up for the rest of the night (unwillingly of course) and then be pissed as fuck when everyone else wakes up.

FML

i’m still awake. yep

"Usually when a black woman is attacked we find some way of making it her fault. We ask questions like what was she wearing? What does she do for a living? How many sexual partners has she had in the past? You know, the typical stuff that removes accountability from her attacker. But in this case, where a black woman minding her damn business awoke to an attacker in her second story apartment, normal victim-blaming would not work. So now what do we do, because we obviously can’t take a black woman’s story of violence seriously? Well, that’s simple. We marginalize the attack and focus the story on her brother, whose anger we can exploit because it fits into stereotypes of queer masculinity that provide comic relief. The producers used the footage to lock Antoine in a frame, to capture him in place, in order to tell a story that fits their truths—black women’s confrontations with sexual violence are either not real or unimportant. Framed under the guise of “news” this masquerades as a story about a woman awaking to an intruder in her bed but is really a story about a funny black man, hilarious in his anger. It was never about her… When you are made invisible through processes of erasure, people don’t even acknowledge that you’re gone."

I hate when something is so great that I have to choose between feeling guilty about chopping it or feeling guilty about c&p’ing the entire thing. Hit the link, it’s that good.
