Meat is the new bread!

The Question has been asked: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? Well after much thought and deliberation i've come up with this answer:

You must grasp logical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are those? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of feild grass, a green leafy vegetable. And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable slop

Writing about writing

I seem to remember when I had a xanga journal in high school I could post on a daily basis about absolutely nothing in particular. Now I am struggling to find material. Something about announcing to the world every little aspect of my life doesn't seem interesting anymore. Also, I rather not write about me. Who cares about me and the stupid stuff I do on a daily basis? Hopefully people have better things to do with their time.

I'm sure that every blogger who isn't good at blogging has at least one post about having nothing to write about or a reflection on why they're really blogging. Other than the paragraph above this will not be one of those posts. Here is a rant and rave about good blogs I enjoy reading and how pointless and stupid I feel twitter is.

First the good stuff. I subscribe to maybe 10 personal blogs through my google reader. I love spending my time reading well written posts about other peoples trials and tribulations and interesting musings. Only half of these people actually know that I may be reading their blog, but thanks to the anonymity of the internet, this is not only possible but in a way, encouraged. Sometimes the topics and the style of writing makes me feel like an inadequate blogger until I remind myself that it's the internet and it doesn't matter what or how anyone writes. My favorite posts are the ones about small events in peoples lives explained in great detail to help explain the bloggers thought processes. My least favorite posts: random updates about pointless things WITH NO EXPLANATION. And yes, I do understand the irony here, but it leads to my next paragraph: my loath for twitter.

If you don't know what twitter is and you use the internet on a regular basis then you've been using it under a rock. An internet rock. Whatever that is. Check out this TED.com video on twitter by one of it's creators, Evan Williams. It is actually interesting how these technological "advances" come about but I still don't understand the necessity for twitter. Basically, twitter is a way to update anyone who's subscribed to your "tweets" on what it is you are doing at any given moment. Recently there was a campaign to get members of congress on twitter, which in itself is a neat idea, I'd rather get updates from the leaders of our country that get paid by my tax dollars instead of some random people/friends. Unfortunately, during Obama's "state of the union" or whatever it was, a Congresswoman was caught tweeting DURING HIS SPEECH. I didn't even know they allowed blackberries/mobile phones into the chambers but apparently this woman got one in. Although this situation is rather funny, we have to ask ourselves if updating others of our situations has become more important than actually living our lives. In the near future I fully expect a twitter sequence to go like this:
TooMuchTimeGuy1: Driving home from work
TooMuchTimeGuy1: It's raining pretty hard
TooMuchTimeGuy1: There's a car coming right at me!
TooMuchTimeGuy1: On the side of the road waiting for paramedics
TooMuchTimeGuy1: Going to the hospital
With the internet now everyone has the opportunity for a "published" voice but soon enough those voices will become overwhelming and twitter is the first step in the wrong direction of mass communicating useless information. We have enough of that everywhere already.
