I Am Not Ashamed

My greatest accomplishment today was putting on sweats and going to Azteca for dinner... I am not ashamed. I've been feeling a little worn out, so a day of nothing was much needed. But this means I have to get off my ass and do stuff tomorrow!

I think I'm a defective vegan. I spent a lot of time online today. Which means I looked at a lot of posts in the vegan groups I follow (on Facebook). I have no desire to eat meat, or eggs. I never have been a big fan of honey. I don't miss leather, never wore fur. Really, the only thing I miss is my Coach purses. But it isn't the leather I miss. It's the quality and attention to detail. I'd love them just as much if they weren't made of cow skin.

The reason I feel defective is because some of the things that bother other vegans, don't bother me. Like when someone posts a cute video of an animal. I see a cute animal. Other vegans lament how terrible it is that the animal may be in an enclosure, or in a fenced in field, or in a habitat. I'm just not upset about that. Some animals wouldn't survive in the wild. Our domestic animals are enclosed, and I don't hear too many vegans getting upset about that. I'm not advocating capturing wild animals for zoos. Not at all. But I understand that some animals can't be returned to the wild, and have to live in sanctuaries. It's a reality.

I'm also not upset about people holding on to non-vegan items they may have had prior to going vegan. Pearl jewelry, shoes, belts, bags, etc. I guess it just goes back to me not being a very good animal rights activist. Not engaging in the torture and mistreatment of animals isn't enough. Well, for not it is. For me at least. Perhaps in the future I will want to advocate more, but for now I'm happy enough not adding to the suffering in this world.

Since I didn't really do anything, I'm kind of at a loss for topics. I'm ready to take a few hits and go to bed. My back is bothering me, and despite sitting around all day, I'm tired. So off to bed I'll go...
