Yaaaaargh... my life.. just GAH! I have so much shit to do this weekend.. lots of homework.. two papers that aren't getting improvment or any further from being due... lots of random promises I've made.. drivers ed starting next month..people in crisis.. the apocalypse is coming and now.. I've made a gamble with my brother.. it started like this:
So anyway, tonight we went to Ragin' Cajun' and I got a cheeseburger, Anthony got a hamburger, and my dad got, and pardon my french, a shit load of crawfish. So anyway.. if anyone has been to there, they would know that they have full length windows around the niche where the underpaid cook boils these crawfish.. they have two pots - one spicy and one, well, not spicy. So I finish my burger pretty quickly along with the rest of my family but my dad still had about 45 minutes of crawfish to eat. Well.. waiting for someone to eat is pretty boring so I got caught up in watching the guy cook the crawfish and switching to my dad down these things in the way I noticed he eats, ironically like a shark - his eyes kinda roll back and its almost like he unhinges his jaw to fit more food in his mouth.. that might be a little to much info.. sorry ^_^.. but back to the point, it got me remembering something I had been think about at another time, particularly, when my dad got some lobsters from central market. First of all.. I don't eat shellfish (except fried shrimp.. but is that actually shellfish?).. I think it tastes awful.. I dont even eat fish for the same reason.. shrimp and calamari are the only seafood I eat.. soooo back to the point.. I was watching this guy hold this huge vat of crawling crawfish over the enormous pot over a lively flame and I remembered how my dad was boiling the lobsters and how I just couldnt be around when he did it.. I am no activist.. I believe STRONGLY at humans being at the top of the food chain.. hey its science.. if we didnt eat them.. they would overpopulate and then what would we do?! that might be oversimplifying but you should get my point. So anyway.. I realized how strongly I was opposed to the way they killed shellfish.. I mean can you imagine being stuffed in a huge pot with other people and when you finally roll over to see what is happening.. you flip into a boiling pot of cayene pepper and water?! what kind of death is that..boiling to death.. you dont die that fast.. first you are scalded.. then your inards cooked and finally i guess your heart stops or something.. your brain gets cooked, i dont know.. but it would be awful.. and even today in mr. filardo's.. he was talking about that poet who said theorized that "human cruelty is a result of our own lack of imagination" .. I dont care so much about the crawfish being killed and eaten.. but couldnt they make it instant like smashing their heads or something?.. or would that be to messy.. suffication? just....boiled to death... god.. *shudders* .. and if that didnt make things worse.. the guy wasnt exactly very accurate when he violently shook the pot empty.. especially on one pot-refilling.. the guy actually dropped a few.. a couple lucky ones (for the time being) missed the pot and the fire and landed on the ground... but one... I almost.. *shudder*.. the poor thing landed on the stove thing and got set on fire and burnt to a black crisp.. kicking and struggling the whole time.. even when its head was on fire.. I guess if I am being unreasonable they could just not show the guys doing their dirty work but well.. that would take away from all the other malicious humans laughing and enjoying creatures boiling to their doom.. some little kids were actually oogling at it with great zeal.. ok.. but back to the bet.. my brother Anthony said "Sarah.. I bet I could sooo last longer than you as a vegetarian" and of course.. I could back out.. I thought about it and it would be hypocritical to for me to say I felt for the fish and not the pigs that get electrocuted to death and the cows that get zapped, strung up by their legs, and then get their necks gut open while they a) suffocate through the hole or b)bleed to death .. so I agreed.. for $75 bucks... hehehe.. I dont know if I will last.. I eat a lot of poultry.. somehow I cant feel bad for the birds.. they get it over in an instant.. a quick beheading, if your messy about it the chicken will run around for a while but it doesnt know what happened to it .. poultry is just... so stupid.. turkeys drown in the rain and chickens well.. their point in life is food in my opinion.. oh well.. here is hoping that anthony's love of eggs, jello, and oreos is weaker than my constant need of chicken ^_^
Ok.. well... I feel bad.. Rach asked me to help me with her webpage and I am not going to have anytime.. especially this week.. all the homework, projects, drivers ed, uncertain pick-up drop-off times, and my mom's trip to calgary will be a major stress factor.. I feel for all that will have to be around me for the next couple weeks.. I may become (temporarily a ranting bitch.. but hey.. thats me usually isnt it?) anyway.. rachels page really does need help.. she used a template well.. didnt fix all the "pre-added for you to replace" text: a couple hilarities for your enjoyment.. before she notices and changes it:
"My hobbies and interests include fly-fishing, solving algebraic equations, traveling in foreign countries, singing karaoke on Yahoo! chat, catching butterflies, pushing pixels, building sandcastles, playing online games, daytrading, building mosaic tables, bowling, fingerpainting, and people-watching."
" I have a mom, dad, and two sisters. One is older, one is younger. I'm the middle child. I'm also the only boy. I also have relatives in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

"My best friend is Tim. My girlfriend is Alison. They're the best. My closest college friends are Aaron, David, Lianne and Eric. You can visit their sites below."
Here is her page: Rach's "Blue Page"
unless I am mistaken.. Rachel is an only, GIRL child in her family and she is no where close to being chinese... ok... I have to go try to make a dent in my homework.. but that will be like trying to cut down a tree............WITH A HERRING! *violins squeel* .. hehehe.... ok.. - end -
