My sweater's on backwards and inside-out

[twicketface]

In doing some reflection this past week, I realize I need to tighten some areas up in my life. And not just my ass cheeks. If I truly believe in the principals of vegetarianism, I need to start walking the walk. Not most of the time, not 90% of the time, but all of the time.

If I truly believe in changing the world for the better, I need to continue to educate myself instead of flipping on the television or the computer. Also, I need to give myself a rest at times from the serious topics I’m interested in. I find my mood decreases when I read nothing but negative reactions to events. Tends to anger up the blood.

If I truly want to make improvements in my life, I need to work at them consistently. I’m proud of my flossing schedule and exercise routine, but I need to keep them up and not get frustrated at less-than-immediate improvements. I also need to closely track my progress with exercising to make sure I am staying on track.

I need to reduce instances of hypocrisy.

I need to remain strong in my beliefs and know that a greater good will come out of all of this.

I need to stay true to myself and have a voice when I disagree.

I need to view things more long term and get out more.

In more shallow news, I learned how to cut a deck of cards with one hand last night. I'm sure this skill will save my life someday or at the very least, get me a free meal sometime.

Tonight Marie and I are making chocolate chip cookies. I think I might write so_gracefully a letter because that's what friends do. I also need to practice my drumming, as Brian and I will be pounding out the Blue Album on Thursday.

Marie has a recipe that includes vanilla pudding in the mix and they are incredibly soft.

ive been saying this to myself for the past year or so and have only slowly, slowly been changing and living the way i know i want to be living and breaking some bad habits that i want broken.
i dont know why its so hard for me.

I think that habits are just hard to break. And knowledge isn't really power; I *know* I shouldn't eat meat but that doesn't make me more powerful towards not eating it. I just try to take one day at a time and look at the choices/decisions I made and evaluate them. Keep up the good fight!
