Is Atheism True?

Well, last night I went on a Youtube frenzy, watching videos and all left and right. I came across a video by theAmazingAtheist, and well, as his name implies he is an atheist. He is constantly being picked on by another user who calls himself Shockofgod. Shockofgod openly admits he used to be an atheist, but not anymore. He admitted the one thing that converted him was that he was asked by a priest if he can prove that atheism is accurate and correct. He couldn't so BOOM! He became a christian. I have nothing against Shockofgod, he's one of my YouTube buddies in fact. But there is a flaw in that question, which he now asks all kinds of atheists if they can prove it.

TheAmazingAtheist is a guy, I have no ties to him. But he is quite a smart fellow. He said something that I've been waiting to hear someone say all along to Shockofgod's question about proving atheism is true and accurate. TheAmazingAtheist said no, you cannot prove atheism is true. That's not the question. He said that the burden of proof does not fall on atheists, it falls on christians. I finally told Shockofgod last night that atheism cannot be proven, just like GOD's existance really cannot be proven, because both are intangible entities. Both beliefs are based on nothing more than pure FAITH. Both are different levels and varieties of faith, but it's still faith. It can't be seen, you cannot take a picture or video of it. It's like saying can you prove love exists? No, I can't prove it exists, because you can't really take a picture of it. It's something that you just know is there. I cannot prove GOD exists, and I generally don't try to. I get people all the time saying "GOD is a fake!" But I don't let it take away my beliefs, because I happen to believe GOD is NOT a fake. I have actually felt HIS presence before. I cannot explain it to a non-believer, it is impossible. I can only tell how I became a believer.

I became a firm believer in GOD when I was bullied, by people I thought were friends, to a point where I felt I had to lie to get them to like me again. Made me feel ugly inside! That feeling did not go away until I said a prayer to GOD, asking HIM to forgive me for that lie and feeling the way I did about those former 'friends'. I was not even a believer in GOD then, and it was my very last resort, but it was the one that worked the best! I was amazed that even though I had alienated GOD for so many years before then, HE still listened to me and answered my prayer. I felt that burden literally lift right off my shoulders. For 6 months before I carried that feeling around, I had horrible belly cramps, I was sad and miserable all the time, crying a lot, I'd lost so much weight, I got down to a 95-pound weakling! I basically retreated to my room and stayed there. I was a mess! Then I said that prayer and everything changed. And I'll tell you, I haven't felt that way since then! Well, except for a time just after Groucho died, but that was for a totally different reason! Anyway, that was why I became a believer in GOD. Within minutes after saying that prayer, I was all better! I lost that dreadful feeling in my belly, I was eating again, smiling, socializing, I came out of my room, I was happy again. I was me again! Atheists will say that wasn't GOD's doing, but I said it was. It had to be. It could not have been anything else! Because it happened immediately after I said that prayer, whereas for 6 months previously, nothing else worked! I tried everything from diuretics to lighting candles, to talking to friends. No one knew what was wrong with me. They could not help. But GOD did. So I am a firm believer now, and no one can make me think otherwise.

Yes, all that because of a little lie. But to me, any little lie is a big lie! That's why I don't like lying, and I don't like liars. Now, I don't believe in Hell. LOL! I use the word a lot, but I don't believe in a big, firey pit where you're thrown in to be burned and tortured for all eternity. I think when someone speaks of Hell, I more envision your soul just being sent back to Earth to try again in another body. The world nowadays is an even bigger Hell than any biblical description I've ever heard! Anyway, I like Shockofgod, but sometimes he is so annoying! He talks and talks about how atheists have to prove atheism is true and accurate, and that there is plenty of proof that GOD exists, yet he never provides any proof himself of how GOD exists, except to keep asking atheists if they can prove atheism is accurate and correct. In order to hear his proof that GOD exists, you have to visit his website, and I have been there before. His site has all kinds of anime (crapime) pics up, a bunch of frames, jumbled links everywhere, but nowhere can I find the link with his proof of the existance of GOD. I want to hear his side of the story! His website is very hard to understand and navigate. And I am not a fan of radio talk shows anyway. I'd like to see him do a video on YouTube about what he thinks makes the existance of GOD accurate and correct.

Well, on another note, I found out INXS is coming to WA state in July. Tickets are actually going on sale today! They will be playing at some winery in Woodinville. I want to go, but I can't because in July, I will most likely be in Bozeman still getting settled!! But it may be my one and only chance to see INXS perform again before they retire. I've gotta get a ticket!!!! I miss Timmy so much I am willing to risk it!! He is looking so handsome now too!! I'll just have to pack my dogs in the car and get my fat ass back to WA state and see these guys!!! :Os

If You Would Become Famous

If you could become famous, would you rather it be for something you are good at, or something you are not so good at? The reason I ask this, I seem to be getting famous among vegans and vegetarians. The problem is, I have nothing to do with the subject, except for an occasional rant about PETA. IF I am going to become famous at all, I'd rather it be for the things I love to do, like drawing and writing cute stories. Of course I know the vegans are just using my image to promote veganism in a way that says "Do you want to look like this fat chick? If not, then go veg today." I wouldn't be the best rep even if I was vegan! I just look like this naturally. The only thing going vegan would do for me is pale up my skin, and I don't want that. I'm happy being a sub-hispanic with darker tones.

Well, one of my friends on YouTube is doing a podcast, and has asked me to join him in a discussion about the pros and cons of veganism. I guess he wants to do the discussion about the pros of veganism, while I do the cons. Not sure. I told him I would be happy to do the podcast with him. I know I had the option to say no. I just noted that I cannot do it right now. It'd have to take place some time after I move. Preferably after I have all moved in and settled. I'm not sure how soon I can get back on the internet there in Bozeman, but I told him sometime around late June would be a better time. I already said yes, and I am a woman of my word. I'll tell you though if Ingrid Newkirk can get on television and show her ugly beak and not be embarrassed, then I guess I can too.

This guy says we are never going to agree on veganism. I told him that is fine. I have a lot of friends that I don't agree 100% with their lifestyle, but I still like them because they are my friends. I don't have a problem with vegans. I just hate the fanatics! See my last blog post about how to tell a fanatical vegan. The world would be a better place if they just didn't exist, but they do. There are fanatics about everything from being vegan to celebrities. They put money in the pockets of the very things they are fans of. So, can't live with them, can't live without them, I guess. Now, I can never become vegan, I enjoy a steak and a chicken breast every now and then far too much for that. I'm not an everyday, shovel-it-in-by-the-pound meat eater. But I confess to really enjoying it. I also adore cheese too much! Though I do think sometimes dairy products are pointless. We are in fact the only creatures that drink the milk of another species. So I will agree that is not natural. The reason we do enjoy milk I think is because it makes us feel like children again. It gives us a kind of high because it is laced with endorphines and seratonins that make us feel good. A human child can suckle for as long as it wants. I've seen kids 10 years old still suckling from their moms! It feels good, and it strengthens the relationship between the mother and child. I think we drink cattle milk as adults as a sort of continuance of this comforting behavior.

Then there is the taste factor. There are some veggies I totally refuse to put in my mouth! I can't stand broccoli!! I hate cabbage! I absolutely abhore brussel sprouts! I'm totally disgusted by avacados! And these things all contain essential nutrients that the only other source is animal proteins. Meat tastes much better! Don't think I haven't tried to like those veggies, because I have! I would not be saying I don't like them if I haven't tried them before. I always believe in not dissing anything until you've tried it. I tried broccoli several times, and hated it each time!! I just couldn't get to like it at all. Brussel sprouts taste exactly the same as broccoli to me, and I hate them just as much. Another thing you could not pay me enough to put in my mouth is mushrooms. I hate mushrooms! They're a fungus. Like athlete's foot and ringworm. That's all I can think of when I think of eating mushrooms! I refuse to eat them. When I found out that Boca Burgers are made from mushrooms, I didn't want anything to do with them anymore. That was back when I tried becoming a vegetarian back in 1997.

Honey is said to be sweeter than sugar. You know I never believed that! I don't know if it is because I am allergic to bees, or not, but honey has always tasted bitter to me! Honey is indeed made up of vomit from a bee. A lot of people don't know that, but it is puked up nectar. Honey is another thing I cannot learn to like. I've tried and tried, but I just cannot like the stuff. Eggs, I absolutely adore!! I remember Yourofsky referred to them as "hen periods". LOL! Chickens don't cycle like we do. Well, like humans do. We bleed, an egg is produced internally, it happens once a month usually for about a week, and then it's over. With chickens, the cycle is totally different. They don't bleed, but they do produce eggs. For them, it doesn't happen once a month, but can happen at any time. I don't think there's anything wrong with eating "hen's periods". When cooked, they taste good! And they are full of beneficial vitamins and proteins, such as Choline, which cannot be found in sufficient amounts in any vegan foods. Choline is very important in brain and eye function. The best source of this nutrient is in fact beef liver.

One of the things that really makes me hate vegan fanatics is they believe just because people eat beef, chicken and pork, that we also eat human babies. Every time I hear (or see) a vegan say that, I just want to slap them! Or give them a good-ass poke in the nose! That is an antagonistically stupid remark! Eating a cow is life. Eating a human baby is cannibalism! It's stupid that they would even think of designating that eating a cow is the same as eating a human baby! Female lions don't eat their own cubs. Dogs don't eat their own pups. Why would they think a person who enjoys a mixed diet would eat their own babies?? That's the hippy morale talking. Hippies always want everything in life to have a reason that satisfies them. But like Katrina said yesterday, not everything in life can be explained.

And have you seen vegan men? They're skinny wimps!! Even the athletic ones are wimpy! Not saying that that is a crime nor nothing, but if I am going to look at any athletes competing in sports, I'd rather see a guy that has some meat on his bones. These wimpy vegan athletes look like they'd break at the slightest touch! I was on a thread on YouTube last night and someone was talking about athletic vegans. I said "I'll bet none of them weigh more than 150 pounds. Put those skinny wimps in the ring with Mike Tyson* or George Foreman and they'd be going down!" LOL! Makes me think, I remember MsPearlsGirl saying that her vegan boyfriend would not touch me if I were in a tree and he were drowning in a sea of piss. Having seen vegan men at their maximum, I wonder was that statement supposed to make me feel bad? LOL! Her boyfriend is probably a skinny wimp too. No doubt about that, in fact. My former boyfriend could probably kick his ass! I'm sure of it! He was not a vegan, and he lifted weights that weighed more than those vegan athletes! I don't want a twig who's been eating fungus and dirt all his life anyways to touch me! I'd slap him shitless if he did! Right in front of MsPearlsGirl too! Then I'd slap her shitless for giving him the idea of touching me!

__________________________________________________
*To make a correction, Mike Tyson has admitted to being a vegan for the last 2 years. Still does not change my mind about vegan athletes. 2 years is nothing. But give Tyson a few more years, and he'll turn into a skinny wimp too. I saw a picture of him from March (last month) and he's already beginning to look kinda bad. Sad, really!

How To Tell A Fanatical Vegan

OK, I know I said I've closed the book on this subject, but yesterday I found a video on YouTube that I had been looking for for a while. This guy brings up some very good points! So I favorited it, so I will always have it! This guy obviously did a great deal of research.



Of course if you go to that video thread, the vegans all hate this guy, because he really debunks their beliefs. But I say Hey! If Gary Yourofsky can do it, then so can this dude. He brings up a lot of interesting points. For one thing, the vegans all argue that living a vegan lifestyle will make you live longer. But this guy points out that only ONE true vegan has ever lived into his 80s and 90s. Vegans say that there are no heart attack victims that are vegans. Well, this guy found two of them that did die of heart attacks, or heart-related problems. Vegans all laugh at me because I speak out against veganism, and am fat. Well, this guy is saying veganism is not completely healthy, but is he fat? He's not what I call fat. And I know fat!

Well, one of the comments on that video thread led me to a site called adaptt.org, it happens to be a site that celebrates Gary Yourofsky, a leading spokesperson for veganism today. I glanced through it. I found a few interesting passages. Yourofsky does not like PETA. Thank GOD!! At least I know he is not following a group led by some hypocritical bipolar dumbass bitch like Ingrid Newkirk! But apparently this group who does celebrate him, adaptt.org, is almost as bad. Yourofsky just seems to be a bit more subtle than PETA by giving lectures. The thing is again, he only tells people what he wants them to hear. I found the thing about pus in milk to be nothing but a bunch of bullshit, when you really research the subject. The problem is these people he is lecturing to, most of them won't do their own research, and take his word as the gospel. But it was this passage on the site that got me most interested. This reporter said "Frankly, when I went to interview Yourofsky, I expected to meet a fanatic." That passage can be found on this page. I sat here and thought "If this person did not see Yourofsky as a fanatic, then maybe this person does not know what makes a fanatical vegan." Which is what inspired me to write this blog post. Then I read on. This person added "Afterward, not only did I find him frighteningly sane and mostly convincing, I had the rather uneasy feeling that always comes when you realize that you are a hypocrite." I thought, "If this person thinks Yourofsky is sane, there's something wrong with him!" The man confesses to have been arrested many times, the police do not usually arrest sane people unless it's for a suspended license, or some minor misdemeanor. But no sane person gets arrested more than a dozen times! Here's another interesting fact, Yourofsky confesses to having been banned from 5 countries. NO sane person ever, in the history of humankind, has ever been banned from 5 countries!! Also, sane people do not put the life of a cow, pig, chicken, goat (all animals that in the wild would be some other animals' prey anyway) before the life of a human's. So I thought I would give a headsup to what I think makes a vegan a fanatic.

First, you may ask, what does the word "fanatic" mean? Well, this was what dictionary.com has to say about the word: "A person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal, as in religion or politics." That being said, I want you to take a look at what Yourofsky has said about people who eat meat. These are his own words quoted on this page quoted by Claudette Vaughan:

"Deep down, I truly hope that oppression, torture and murder return to each uncaring human tenfold! I hope that fathers accidentally shoot their sons on hunting excursions, while carnivores suffer heart attacks that kill them slowly. Every woman ensconced in fur should endure a rape so vicious that it scars them forever. While every man entrenched in fur should suffer an anal raping so horrific that they become disemboweled. Every rodeo cowboy and matador should be gored to death, while circus abusers are trampled by elephants and mauled by tigers. And, lastly, may irony shine its esoteric head in the form of animal researchers catching debilitating diseases and painfully withering away because research dollars that could have been used to treat them was wasted on the barbaric, unscientific practice of vivisection."

I saw this and I thought "WTF??" Doesn't this wussy know the rules of karma? Anything you wish on someone else comes back to get you 3-fold! And since he has wished oppression, torture and murder on what he calls "uncaring humans" tenfold. That means that oppression, torture and murder will return to him 30-fold! And that would be for each and every human affected by this that he considers "uncaring". As much as I cannot stand Yourofsky, I don't wish that on him at all! See, that's not in my nature. I never wish ill on anyone, because it always comes back to get you! And to think, the owner of this site called Yourofsky "sane"! LOL! That is totally laughable after seeing this paragraph! Sane people do not wish oppression, torture and death on their fellow humans. I've only heard words like that come from the mouths of serial killers, and other people who really do belong behind bars!

So here is a list of what makes a vegan a fanatic. I've had to block a lot of vegans this past week on YouTube, who I feel are fanatics.

A sane vegan says "It's your life, you live your's your way, I'll live my life my way".
A fanatic says "If you don't live your life the way I want you to, I'll kill you and your whole family!"

A sane vegan says "I became a vegan for health reasons only. And if it happens to save a few animal's lives, then that's better."
A fanatic says "I became a vegan because I hate people, and animals should not be tortured for food."

A sane vegan says "I love being a vegan".
A fanatic says "If you're not a vegan, I hope you suffer when your coronary arrives." or "I hope you see your kids die."

A sane vegan will tell you what it's like to be a vegan, then let you make your own choice because that is your prerogative.
A fanatic will wish death, or torture on you if you are not a vegan.

A sane vegan will accept your decision gracefully, even if it's not the same decision they made.
A fanatic will cuss you out, call you every name in the book that they can think of, and wish death on you.

A sane vegan respects all living things, including humans.
A fanatic puts a prey animal's life before the life of a human's.

A sane vegan would never own a cat as a pet because they would have to feed the cat real meat (which would go against their beliefs that prey animals should never be killed for food), and feeding it a vegan diet is considered, by any veterinarian's standards, being cruel.

What denotes a prey animal? Prey animals are herbivores that are commonly victimized by predators. They can be identified by having pot bellies, thin legs, and eyes on the sides of their heads (carnivores have eyes that face foreward) so they can scan for predators while lowering their heads to feed. These animals include cattle, sheep, chickens, goats, pigs, all animals that would be prey for other animals in the wild anyway. Including humans who are still practicing the ancient hunter-gatherer techniques.

Other things a fanatical vegan will do:
  • Calls eating meat "murder".
  • Accuses the person eating a steak and drinking milk of being uncompassionate.
  • Compares the slaughter of animals to the holocaust against the Jews.
  • Says anyone who uncloaks thier beliefs is uneducated, misinformed, or ignorant.

I once heard someone on one of my vegan friends' facebook page say she doesn't understand why people call them fanatics, when all they are trying to be is compassionate. Well, look at my list above of what the difference is. Which category do you fall under? You can't be saying things like "I hope you suffer when your coronary arrives" or "I hope you see your kids die" and be considered compassionate. Those meanings don't go hand-in-hand. That makes you an insane fanatic.

Gary Yourofsky said in his most famous lecture that you put a child in a crib with a rabbit and an apple, if the child eats the rabbit and plays with the apple to send him an email. LOL! Well, I said to one vegan that even a lion cub of comparable age will not kill an antelope. It's brought to them prekilled by the adults of the troup. A baby lion simply does not know how to kill it's own prey. They don't learn it until they are, in a sense, teenagers. The parents teach them how to hunt. Same with humans. A 4-year old child cannot know how to hunt. But a 14-year old child can learn, if the parent wants to teach them. And maybe a 4-year old child will not kill and eat a bunny rabbit. But put a pork chop in front of the same child, and I will assure you, that child will lap it up! Maybe even before he even thinks of going for the apple!

These People Again!!!

OMG, Landover Baptist Church has outdone themselves this time!! Remember my last encounter with these people? If not, let me refresh your memory. Here's the original post on this blog, with all their gloried comments: http://www.timmyfan.com/2008/12/complaining-christians-without-cause.html. That was from December, 2008. There were a couple of nice people from there, but the majority were obnoxious, conceated people with nothing but "kill all non-Baptists" on their minds! No wonder, check this video out and look at what they are following!



I've never seen anyone with such a bad attitude in authority before!! This idiot talks about shooting down fat wiccans. (Um, excuse me. Have you looked in the mirror? You look like a whole hippopotamus sitting there). I know fat, and this dude is FAT!! Yet look at him sit there and talk about fat wiccans. My encounters with the people of Landover, well they were rotten, evil people! Most of them were anyway. They give Baptists a very bad name. I don't believe GOD would approve of them hunting down and killing other fellow humans. It may sound pitiful, but I don't even think GOD would approve of this guy dissing other fatties. Especially since he himself is fat.

And hitting someone with a hot iron poker, until such person confesses that Jesus is his savior. OK, now again, don't get me wrong, I believe Jesus was our savior. But would Jesus condone hitting someone with a hot iron poker until they confessed? I don't think so. This jackass has confessed to killing and torturing someone, and I hope the proper authorities hear about this and throw his butt in jail! Make him serve some very hard time! I said I wanted to believe this video was a joke, or some kind of pun. But remembering my last encounters with the people from this church, I don't think he is joking at all.

Religions like this one is the main reason that for a long time, I did not want anything to do with religion! And in fact, when I get my own place, I'm going to install an electric fence, to keep people like these off my property!! I don't even like Jehovah witnesses coming to my house. Anyone who I am not expecting is going to get the shock of their lives if they try to cross over! Anyway, I'd rather not have any religion forced down my throat! I believe what I believe, and no one can make me believe otherwise. The people from that church called me all kinds of names, and said I was Hellbound, and blah-blah-blah. I just sat here, laughing at them, saying "whatever!" LOL!

In another note, I notice I feel not so hot about INXS anymore. I still like Tim, but not like I did this time last year. I've been slowly cooling off on INXS for several years now. That's how it is with me. I still consider myself a fan of the band, but this happens a lot. I love something, and love it and love it and love it a lot, then eventually, it's like my love kinda wares off. It's not non-existant, it just cools off for a while. I wonder if this is old age? LOL! I remember when I was on inxs.com and this began to happen. I made an announcement and everyone was all like "How can you call yourself a fan when you don't like the band?" Well, I don't dislike INXS, I still listen to their songs. But I watched my first DVD of Rockstar: INXS, and it's like I'm having a tough time getting through it. It's not like "What did I ever see in these guys?" It's more like "Ho-hum." LOL! Well, I am sure my interest will spark up again. Like I said, this happens sometimes. It actually makes my life a lot more interesting. Like I said, this could be old age acting up. Or, it could be because I've been thinking more of my move than anything else. I just wonder what is going to be my next "big thing"? Only time will tell! But when it hits, more likely it will be my hot subject on this blog.

Hating Americans

I was thumbing through my recommended videos on YouTube last night. I do that sometimes. Different movies get recommended to me, and I often look in to see why they were recommended to me. Sometimes I find them interesting, and sometimes I don't. Well, this one video I looked in, it was kinda interesting. But the thing most interesting to me was some of the comments being made about Americans. Every time I see someone saying the things they do about us, I always think "WTF?" And who are the biggest bellyachers about Americans? None other than the British! Now, this is not in any way reflecting on my British friends, I love them! But those British who do nothing but sit their asses at their computer and gripe and fuss about Americans are starting to give me the ass!! WTF is their problem?? Don't they realize that a lot of white Americans are basically nothing but British that "evolved in isolation from the rest of them"? In other words, we are "seasoned British". LOL! That's what I like to call us. But why do they feel such hatred towards Americans? They call Americans dumb and lazy. Maybe it's because the New Yorkers are so nasty and pushy? Or maybe the British are still pissed off because they lost some of their best citizens when they sailed here to get away from King James I. But I heard he was a nut! I want to get away from Obama too! The only thing keeping me here is knowing that in at least 5 more years, he will be eligible for replacement. If he doesn't get voted out first! He aught to be ashamed of even considering putting a muslim mosque at ground zero, where 9/11 happened! That's like a slap in the face to those who died.

Anyway, back to my original subject. As for Americans being lazy, I understand that England is almost running neck-to-neck with Americans for being the nation with the fattest people. So if they think we are fat and lazy, then they are too. So both countries must be doing something wrong there. I still think it's the bulk-up hormones being injected into our beef! It can't be anything else. We have better men, I love bulky men! We have more better schools here, Anna is going to one of the very best in the country! We have better actors and actresses. We have better technology. I have yet to see England launch a rocket into space! So why the heck are they hating on Americans? Every chance they get, they hate on Americans. I see it all the time and it's crazy! There is just no need for it. It's a quiet war going on between the younger generation of the USA, and the younger generation of the UK.

I dunno, this could be the thing that is also going to mark the end of the world. People being so hostile to one another. I try to maintain a good attitude. But with everyone all around me hammering at me for all kinds of petty reasons, sometimes it's difficult to keep my cool. Anna says I should stay off YouTube. LOL! Well, my consolation is that not everyone on YouTube is bad. Yesterday I blocked someone who is not a bad person, but he was hounding me about a subject that I've completely closed the book on, and have no desire to keep on going with. Because he's going to say he's right, and I will keep believing I am right, and for the sake of my well-being I had to block him. Because I just have no interest in turning around my beliefs. If people would accept others' beliefs, then the world would be a more decent place. I always accept other peoples' opinions. I don't like to silence, or block, someone on YouTube! Well, sometimes they make it so easy by being so pushy, acting like my channel is their's and using name-calling, and those people I actually enjoy blocking. But that last one made me feel bad! I almost wrote to him on his channel, explaining why I blocked him, but I decided not to. Because if I had, I knew it would have attracted more people with his beliefs to my channel. Many are not as nice, or subtle, as he was.

Early Birthday Gifts

Well, I got a couple of early gifts for my birthday, which is actually next month. I got a Wacom Bamboo One graphics tablet, which I LOVE!!! I've been working with it a lot. I love drawing, and I love animating too. This thing is great for both! I hate drawing using a mouse. My drawings never come out as good as I would like them to when I draw them with a mouse. But this tablet is awesome for doing drawings! I am working on some animation clips (in between packing our things). The clips feature a little bit of movement, nothing fancy, just to practice a few screen tests. I've been doing the drawings in Paint Shop Pro, which I also enjoy working with. It's an old version, but still very good! It does what it's supposed to! Then I put them together using Windows Movie Maker. The finished projects I will put up on YouTube. This one is going to be a few seconds, I'm already 36 frames into it. My animation is not perfect, but I keep practicing. It will get better if I keep up the practice. Then when I begin taking REAL animation classes, I will have a little smidgen of experience that I can pull foreward with.

My second gift is something that most women would not appreciate getting, and that is a vacuum. I love it too! It's got hepa filtration, and it's powerful enough to pick up pet hair. It's just what I need! My old one, that ma gave me when we first moved here, died. I "buried" it in the back yard. But this new one is awesome!! Actually, I now have 2 vacuums! I inherited another one from ma and John when they moved out of the apartment upstairs! But that one is more like a large dirtbuster with a hose. Of course it depends on the size of the house we move into next, but I'm keeping both vacuums. One can be to clean the downstairs, and one can be for the upstairs.

Unfortunately, we did not get the condo unit in Bozeman, so, I am looking for others. I scour Craigslist every hour now! Anna looks for ads in Bozeman's newspaper. It's tough!! Everything in Bozeman is either way out of our price range, or only has one restroom, or does not allow pets! I even found one that turned out to be a scam. Anna warned me not to write to ads that only have an e-mail address! I wrote to one that sounded promising, and the guy who wrote me back turned out to be (again) from Nigeria! I wrote him back and said "Forget it. I'd rather rent from someone local!" Well, I found another one last night, but it's in Livingston! Livingston is about 20 miles away from Bozeman, and there is a big pass in between the two. But the house sounds wonderful!! We may have no choice but to take it! At least until we can find something good in Bozeman. But the guy was not even intimidated nor turned off when we mentioned we have 3 dogs! I told Anna to tell people that upfront. We'd better be honest with them from the get-go! Some ads say they only allow 1 or 2 dogs. 2 dogs maximum. But honestly, I think those landlords expect people who have dogs are going to have big dogs, like labradors or golden retrievers. These dogs are tops in property damaging! They have it down to an artform. My little chihuahuas and papillon are not destructive at all. They are well beyond their demolition days. Not that they ever were ruinous anyway! But unfortunately because of a lot of irresponsible labrador and golden retriever owners (and there are many), my dogs are considered rental vermin, making it hard to find a place. I've given up on Belgrade, because the town only allows 2 pets per household. I have one too many. That would mean I would have to get a kennel license in Belgrade. UGH!! If I was still breeding chihuahuas, I wouldn't mind it, but I'm not breeding dogs anymore! So to me, getting a kennel license would make about as much sense as a pot with no bottom.

Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. We may have to settle for whatever we can get! What ever turns out to be available when we need it. I love my dogs, and I don't want to get rid of any of them. I'd also rather have a house with more than one bathroom! That is a must! Those usually have more than 2 bedrooms. But that's OK! I can use an extra bedroom for a study/computer room. It'd be better than what I have now. LOL! I'm only kidding! I love it here! I wish I didn't have to leave, but I have to. I have no choice now, there is no turning back! But who knows? Maybe I will love our place in Bozeman so much I might never want to leave. Never know for sure until it happens.

Disasters of the Decade

I was just sitting here, watching this program about the earthquake and tsunami that happened last month in Japan on the National Geographic channel. I saw previews for it last weekend, and I wanted to see it. I thought it was going to be more like a documentary, but there was very little documentation. But it did show all 6 minutes of the earthquake. It was scary! Made me think back to the time we lived in Lakewood, and there was a rather large earthquake that happened. The quake was actually centered in Aberdeen, but I felt it there too. I remember that day. I was in the kitchen fixing lunch, and Anna was going to college there and she came home that day to have lunch with me. I was about to roll out some buttermilk biscuits in the kitchen, when the quake struck. The dogs started barking, and once they felt it was a real earthquake, they all ran and hid under my old antique sofa. I was standing in a spot where I could actually look out into the back yard, and I saw what looked like waves rolling in the grass. It was a strange sight! When that quake lasted longer than about 10 seconds, I really panicked! At the end of the quake, we were both OK. Thank GOD! The poor dogs were too scared to come out again. The power was out for sure! Well, that was it. We had to find someplace to go out and eat. Anna's school closed down for the rest of that day, so I took us both to a little restaurant about 25 miles away from Lakewood, because everything in that town was out of order.

Now, I never claimed to be clairvoyant, but I remember predicting that this last decade was going to mark the end of humankind. This was in 2000, before I heard anything about Nostradamus, or the Mayan calendar. What made me think that was that several people I knew were dying, and the year 2000 I had more friends having babies than I've ever known in any one year of my life! I said in a journal posting that year that something big was coming! And I never believed in Y2K. Not ever! That was one thing I didn't fall for. Especially not how the media was saying the outcome was going to be. They were saying it was going to end with all the computers of the World going out of whack. I kept thinking "how can a date make a computer shut off?" And all kinds of computer outlets, like TigerDirect, were putting out software to prevent Y2K from affecting your computer. I just never fell for it. I thought it was ridiculous to sell software like that. It wasn't until the following year, in 2001, that I heard about Nostradamus' predictions, and another year later when I heard about the predictions on the Mayan calendar. Then back in 2008, I was sitting and reading my old journal from 2000, and I remembered reading the entry for when my stepmother's mother died. That same week, I had 2 other friends die. Neither one knew each other, and died in unrelated incidents. But that was what made me say "Something big is coming! I don't know what, but something big is coming!" I thought it was a war or something!

Well, I was basically right. It may have been for a silly reason, but I was basically correct. Look at all the disasters that have been happening. First, 9/11 happened more than a year after I made that journal entry. Then almost 2 years later, the war in Iraq. Then a year later, the tsunami in Taiwan and Sri Lanka. Then almost another year later, Hurricane Katrina. In 2008, the inauguration of Obama. In 2010, the earthquake in Haiti, and the volcano in Iceland. And now this year, the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. And it still continues to this day. OK, the Obama thing is just a joke on my part, but still! The rest of those caused massive deaths, and suffering, or some kind of losses. I was damn lucky we were not hit with a tsunami here. Well, I knew we wouldn't be. Ocean Shores hasn't had a major tsunami in more than 150 years. They just don't happen here very often. I think it's because of our location. They go around us, but they never strike us. Because the tip of Oregon shoots out farther than we sit here, and we're also kinda shadowed by the tip of Washington state. We would have to have a major offshore earthquake here close to town in order to be hit with a tsunami. But we did have a bit of a scare when the quake hit in Japan.

I kinda wonder what the heck is going to be next. I hope that Yellowstone doesn't explode! If it does, Anna and I will be toast! So will so many others, as Bozeman is a college town, and a lot of students go there from all over the World to attend school. It's one of the best schools in the country! I cannot wait to see it myself. Anna is signing us up to go on a dinosaur dig this next summer. I always wanted to do something like that, so I told her we're there, dude!! As long as I can bring the dogs, I'll be happy! Or at least find a reliable person to watch over them.

Power to Speciesists!

So now that I have found out that speciesism is a real thing, I carry that title with pride! I am proud to be a speciesist! Because I will forever believe that what animals I like is my own choice! No one elses'. And if I choose to keep some animals as pets, and eat others, that too is my own business. No one else's. So I carry the moniker "speciesist" with the utmost pride. It's nothing at all like being a racist! People who are Jewish, black, white, oriental, hispanic, they are still humans, our real brothers and sisters. They should have basic human rights. I also believe gorillas, chimps and orangs should also have basic human rights, because they are species of Hominids. I also think it's criminal to kill a dog or a cat, because to a lot of people, myself included, they are a part of our families. I say save baby seals from human slaughter, because they are a part of a large, complex ecosystem. And if they die, the ecosystem breaks down. And all those dumb hunters want from the babies is their skins. They don't even eat the meat and that makes me MAD!! But cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens, etc. They are NOT our brothers and sisters! They are not even in any way remotely related to us. They are only here because we bred them for food. So I say, eat them! hehe! For that reason, I agree I deserve the title of "speciesist". But then I think the word "speciesist" should be applied to all living things that look after their own, or think their species is far greater than all others, which is just about every species of animal on the planet. Just like it isn't only white people who hate blacks that are racists. But also blacks who hate whites are also racists.

Now, don't get me wrong. I have vegan friends and I love them! But the fanatics get on my nerves! Just yesterday, I was hit by another one (a little residue) who calls herself Technowhoree. She commented on my sis's video about diet myths. This is what she had to say:

Hi TimmyGal!
I love watching all of your videos, they are simply hilarious. I just wanted to say one thing... Your anti vegetarian remarks are inconsistant with actual results when thoughtfully applyed, ofcourse. I have been vegan for six years of my life and my doctors are stunned by my health, I am also a competitive athlete. This might sound unbelieveable to such a hillbilly idiot such as yourself, but it is true. Good day. :)

At first, she sounded nice. And I thought she was trying to be congenial. That is until I got to the last sentence. Then I realized this person was yet another fanatical vegan anal wart. I got a load of this statement:
 
"I am also a competitive athlete."
 
LOL! I was thinking, "So what?! She could be the flyweight champion of the world and it wouldn't mean shit to me! She'd still be nothing but a skinny wimp whose ass my former boyfriend could easily kick." She probably looks like Kate Moss--No boobs, and probably has a schlong. I wouldn't be surprised! Anyway, I wasn't going to, but I decided to respond to her, with a little tit-for-tat:
 
@Technowhoree I'm glad you enjoy my videos. Thanks for watching. Oh BTW, I've been eating meat all my life, and my doctor was amazed I am the age I am, with almost no problems associated with my weight. I know that that is hard for a stupid-ass vegan such as yourself to comprehend, but keep trying. Something will jumpstart that pea-brain of yours. ;) Buh-bye! :)


And then I added:
 
@Technowhoree Oh yes, I forgot something....
POWER TO THE SPECIESISTS!!! hehehe! ;)

After that, I blocked her butt from my channel. Looks like I am going to have to do that to all the vegans who I don't like from now on. There's been some that have been nice, but people like Technowhoree, I need to start blocking them. Just like I took to blocking Hobofart and his friends. I put up with him for a while, but then I started blocking him and everyone that I even thought for a second was in any way associated with him. But there is a MAJOR difference between Hobofart and the vegans. Hobofart was like the angry, jealous husbands you see on those domestic violence movies, who gets pissed because he doesn't get enough attention, and he becomes totally obsessed and follows people all around the internet, and harasses them with the intent to somehow harm them. The vegans are not like that. I don't get those same vibes from the vegans. They're more like a little kid who keeps repeating the same thing and is just simply annoying. And no matter how many times you tell that kid to shut the hell up, it just keeps repeating the same thing over and over again. Like a song stuck in their heads.
 
As for being a hillbilly, well, I'm more of a redneck, but I'll settle good with hillbilly! LOL! So I am going to wear that name with pride as well. I even changed the title of my channel. I now call myself "A Hillbilly With Fattitude". If a hillbilly is the same as a speciesist in their eyes, then I will do fine! I'm actually proud to be a speciesist hillbilly. At least I know that I, as a human, am not the only speciesist creature in the world.

In Denial

Well, I had to close down the ability to post comments on all my vegetarian/vegan videos. I really hate having to do that! But I did it for a reason. Actually for 2 reasons. First of all, I did my research, and I found that a completely vegan diet is not 100% good for me. I debunked the myths that this guy, Gary Yourofsky claimed in his speech were true. I don't believe in "speciesism", and there is nothing anyone can say that will make me believe that it is anything more than a comical artifice. So as far as I am concerned, the subject is CLOSED!!! Time to move on to other subjects. The second reason is simple. Hearing the same shit, over and over and over and over again, gets OLD!! Answering with the same response gets old just as quickly! The vegans are always going to say "You are an ignorant and uneducated woman" and I'm just going to give them the same response each time, "You are just in denial!" This morning alone, I got 4 different people giving me that same comment, and each time, I gave them that response. It gets old, dull and boring after a while. Besides that, it makes me feel gauche! Repeating the same thing and reading the same thing got very vexatious!! The vegans are too cowardly to come here and read my blog, which would explain everything. So, they continue to say the same things on my videos, and it gives me a headache after a while because I'm sitting here slapping my head with my hands, thinking "GEEZ! Can't you people come up with some better responses than that??!!" No matter what I would do, I could have the best scientists and doctors on the planet say that a 100% vegan diet is not good for you, and the vegans will still say that myself and these scientists and doctors are uneducated. Because we would be telling them something they don't want to hear and don't want the public to know or take seriously.

A lot of them seem to think they are smart or funny, when they're really not. Many of them are nothing more than the high-priest of anal warts! Especially the fanatical vegans. I got a couple of them saying that they wonder why I am not embarrassed to show my videos. Well, I can answer them in one well-worded sentence: Because I know I am right! Just because a number of vegans are going to tell me I am wrong, or uneducated, does not make it so. Just because they don't agree with me does not mean I am going to throw the towel in and say "forget about what I read during my research, the vegans are always right, so I'll agree with them!" Nope. They are not always right. My studies proved some of their theories wrong. Gary Yourofsky and Ingrid Newkirk are NOT my gods. Just because they say it does not mean I am going to believe it. Yourofsky is nothing but a journalist. And if he is a journalist who works for an ARA group, I would not even take what he says as the gospel. They really do very little research. Researching what other ARAs have to say is not researching! It's only getting one side of a very complex story.

Being very contemplative here, do you really think humans were meant to be pure vegetarians? If so, then why do vegans have to supplement their diet with artificial vitamins and minerals? Why don't vegan humans have pot bellies like other vegetarian animals? Did you know that a lot of animals that are perceived as strict vegetarians occasionally do supplement their diet with meat? Yes, it's true. Deer in Britain often eat birds. Pigs are omnivores, pure and simple. Even cattle have been observed supplementing their strictly grassy diet with the flesh of other animals. There is a species of antelope (same family as the cows) called the duiker that also feeds on birds, mice and small reptiles, on top of plants and other greens. It's not a far stretch for a vegetarian animal to turn to eating the flesh of it's planetary companions to occasionally supplement their plant-based diet. Like I said in my last post, that's LIFE!! Take it, or leave it. I remember I once watched a video from Onision, and he said that the convergence is happening, and vegetarian/vegans are going to win this battle. But I don't think they are. All their actions are going to prove is that they are just unpretentiously annoying. You will NEVER get what you want by just being annoying. All you will get in the end is a black eye, or a fat lip, or a nose bleed. In the past month, I can tell you that the level of vexation these people display is unparagoned and maniacal! But then it usually is when you have people repeat the same shit over and over, and then try to push their beliefs on you. I just want to say to the people who said I was ignorant, naive and uneducated to F-off! Katrina thinks I should use that phrase more often. I asked Katrina not to jump in again, and she's been pretty good at not getting involved. Not that I don't appreciate her doing it. She's funny in fact with some of her reactions, and she makes me laugh! But when she gets involved, it makes me feel like I cannot stick up for myself. And I know I can.

I don't mind that they all disagree with me, that does not bother me. They can hate me all they want to, that's perfectly fine! They don't need to like me. They can even sit around and call me every name in the book. Doesn't matter to me! But to constantly hear "you are ignorant and uneducated" when it is perfectly clear I know WAY more than they do, it just gets old very fast!! Then to give them the same response "you're just in denial", that too gets old, and that statement is clearly a fact! I have no intention of changing my ways. Even less now that the vegans have tried to pester me into it. Not gonna happen! My grandma's aunt ate meat every day of her life, and she lived to be over 100 years old. So that debunks the myth that vegans live longer than meat-eaters. And no, that is not only my opinion. That is a fact! So really there is no conclusive reason to go vegan, except maybe ethics. And I'm not one of those whose heart bleeds for cattle, pigs or chickens. But yes, I do love my dogs, and they love me back.

I remember some years back, I saw a video on the Pluba forum of the Chinese cutting up wild raccoon-dogs for their skins. And they would mutilate these dogs while they were still alive. The animals were even still alive after they had been skinned and then thrown into a pile of other skinned dogs. Now, that video I could not watch!! I have dogs as pets, and the way those wild dogs were treated was horrendous!! The way the people in China treat animals is horrendous!! This past week, I read about these turtle keychains, which is a completely enclosed plastic container, with a small, live turtle and colored water and beads inside. The turtle cannot get out, and it cannot breathe, and slowly suffocates to death. After the turtle is dead, then what? What would you do with the keychain?? I wouldn't want to carry around a keychain with a dead turtle inside it. And besides I think that is inhumane, simply because it is a slow, suffocating death for no other reason than human embellishment. This is why I do not buy furs, and I do not condone the sale of real furs from inedible animals like foxes and mink. At least if it's cattle leather, then I can say nothing from that cow has been wasted. The cow completely served it's purpose. But nobody eats foxes and mink! This is the only thing I completely agree with vegans on. I do not buy animal skins. Particularly not skins of animals that cannot be eaten. It just feels wrong to me to just take the skin and throw the rest of the animal away.

This is all I have to say. If you are a vegan, and you disagree with my post, that is your prerogative. If you are going to try and push your beliefs on me, I suggest you F-off and go find another target that you can more easily convert! Someone who is a total wuss. Your comment won't be accepted either, as I am not going to get into a "you said this, and I'll say that" conflict with you. If you want to discuss without throwing around the word "ignorant", and "uneducated", or any words corresponding as such, I will discuss. But I will still believe you are in denial.

************************************************
OK, so I stand corrected that there is no such thing as "speciesism". It was actually first quoted in 1970. But just because I have been corrected on that issue does not mean that I now believe in it. If you're going to use that word to describe this kind of human behavior, you might as well use it to describe all other normal animal behaviors. Like how hyenas kill zebras, or lions killing antelope, or Minnie killing squirrels, etc. Why pin that label only on humans? That doesn't make sense to me.

This or That?

Did you ever read the story "A Tale of Two Cities"? Well, this blog post is going to be somewhat like that. LOL! Just having a little more fun with some of the vegan viewers on YouTube, especially this one who calls himself TheAdamdeck. I have a 2-part video up now debunking some of the myths Gary Yourofsky made so clear in his speech. Now, I could never go vegan! I love chicken, milk and cheese far too much! Apparently vegetarians are different, they eat chicken, fish, milk and cheese. So if I were to convert to anything, it'd be that. But I have no interest now in converting. But I do have vegan friends, and I totally respect their point of view.

Well, TheAdamdeck believes totally in "speciesism", and so I called him a wuss. IMO, anyone who believes in that is indeed a wussy, because there is no such thing as "speciesism". I still say that, and I will always believe it. Well, TheAdamdeck believes that when we pamper dogs and eat cows, we are practicing "speciesism". That's totally dumb! That's not "speciesism". That's LIFE!! One of the first things I learned in my adult life is that life is never fair! Why was Vegas born alive, while his brother was born dead? Why do some people like cats, and not dogs? Why are some people rich, while others are poor? Or barely make it in life? Why are some animals, like rabbits, antelope and deer, always getting eaten, while other animals, like lions, wolves and bears, are not? Why can parrots learn to talk, and not finches? Why do elephants live to be 70+ years old, while mice only live a maximum of 4 years? Why are some kids bullied, while others become popular? Why do all these things happen? Because that's LIFE! Deal with it.

Take me, I love animals. I wouldn't have my dogs if I didn't. But I don't believe my dogs are equal or superior to me. They are lower life forms. They're wonderful, but they are not our equals. But to be fair, I'll give this guy a challenge. He suggests we treat cattle with the same love we give dogs. Well, show me a video of a person sleeping, and snuggling up with a cow on their bed, then we can talk about cattle and dogs being equals. Actually, that's just the way our American culture is. If you want to go to a place where cattle are treated like our equals, then move to China! I saw one vegan commenter today say that she never even kills bugs! I'm thinking "So what happens if you step on an anthill or get too close to a bee's nest and they start biting and stinging you? Do you just slowly go sit down and gradually pick them off one by one?" By that time, the ants and bees would have that person almost stung to death, or nearly eaten. I wouldn't take that chance. And there is one thing that I do not tolerate at all; cockroaches! Nothing would drive me out of a house faster than seeing a cockroach crawling along the floor! I can't stand them! They get in your food, and dump all over it, and they spread diseases. And houseflies, you know how many different kinds of diseases they carry? More than 100! You know where a housefly has likely been before it gets into your home? They look harmless for sure. But they are really filthy, disease-laiden creatures! They eat animal droppings, then when they get on your food, or kitchen counters, they puke up their last meal, and then slurp it back into their bellies. This can spread salmonella, cholera, typhoid, and whatever the animal died of that the fly last fed on. Could be anthrax for all you know! I don't like houseflies in my house either!

Then, you have bed bugs, fleas, ticks, and lice and those things are all evil!! It makes me wonder, how many vegan people actually allow all this stuff into their home, and don't want to get rid of them because they don't believe in killing animals? Yet they think nothing about killing other people. I've had my life threatened by vegans. Katrina did too, and her family was threatened by a vegan. Of course one of my friends told me that the vegans that threaten other people are what is called 'fanatics'. She said she saw vegans on Martha Stewart and thought of me. The first question out of my mouth was "Did they act like jerks?" This friend said no, they were actually very nice. I said "That's good. Most of them have the mentality of 'if you don't live your life the way I want you to, I'll bomb your house and kill your family!'" That was when this friend told me those people are the fanatics. MsPearlsGirl was definitely a fanatic! As I believe this guy TheAdamdeck is too. Well, one good thing, they would never be welcome in my home, as I am sure I wouldn't be in their's. And that is perfectly fine with me! Especially if they have lice, bed bugs, fleas and cockroaches. Those things could easily latch onto their clothes, and they would wind up bringing them in here and I can't have that!

Funny thing, "fan" is a shortened word for "fanatic". I consider myself an INXS fan, but never once have I threatened any non-INXS fans. There must be another word for what I am. LOL!

And most vegan men are wimps. I hated to say this to one of my buds, as she loves vegan men. But they are skinny wimps! I'd rather have a man with some fat and muscle than to have a twig hugging me. Even vegan men with muscles look wimpy. A man should never be wimpy, IMO. That's because plants have nothing that helps you bulk up. My former boyfriend could probably break those "muscle-bound" vegans in half on the first attempt!

Weekend at Dad's

Well, to say the least, it was an interesting weekend. I don't get to see my father very much so, this past weekend was supposed to be a treat. I did realize one thing, dad and I don't know each other anymore. All week long, I could not wait to visit him, and I was excited to see him again, and thrilled he was going to let me stay there with my dogs. But the weekend was not what I had hoped for. He's a wonderful man, and I do love him. I let him know that. But we were not cut out to live under the same roof. We fought all the time. Calm moments were few and far between. The problem is my father likes to control people, and I don't like being controlled. It's one thing to be controlled on a job, and I do realize that is his house. But he wanted to control every little thing I did. He wanted to control what time I went to bed, what time I got up, when to put my dogs outside, and we even got into a major fight because I would not eat this scrawny, fatty steak he wanted to give me. I'm not used to being controlled for those things. I like having those basic freedoms in my life. It got so bad, he was threatening to send me home right then and there. And believe it or not, I wouldn't have minded. I was ready to go home! I tried to smooth the steak incident over by asking if I could have chicken instead. But he said no. By Monday morning, I had had enough. Dad wanted me to stay and have breakfast, but I said no. I just wanted to get out of there and get home as fast as I could!

Dad asked if he could help me in any way and I told him he could pump the gas for me at the gas station. LOL! That made him happy. I wanted to make him a little happy before I left, because I was afraid it would be the last time I might see him, ever! Because we are moving to Montana in May. I don't know if I will get to see him before I go. And I know I sure won't see him after I move there! He'll never come to visit us in Montana. He even said he's not going to help us pack up our things this time. But you know what, I didn't leave him with a sour note. I didn't want his last impression of me to be that way. I told him I love him, and I will always love him. And I do. He is my father, after all. And he did have good intentions when he invited me to his place. Its just that he and I come from two totally different worlds. After my gas was in the tank, I was ready to go home, and I made a swift beeline for Ocean Shores. I was never happier to see home than I was at that moment. When I arrived, the first thing I did was take a nap! I didn't sleep good at all when I was at dad's place. He wanted me in bed at 10 PM and I am not used to being in bed that early. I never fell asleep until about 1 AM at the earliest. So, I didn't get that much sleep. As of this day, I think I am still recovering!

When ma got home that day, I told her all about that weekend. She thought the whole thing was so petty, especially the steak incident. I told her I know it was, and I did try to smooth it over in a way where both of us could have been happy, but dad just would not have it. It was like I had to eat what he ate, or I had to leave. No sooner had I told ma that story, dad called me on the phone. The first time he called, he hung up. I could not understand why. Then I tried calling him, and all I got was a busy signal. I figured maybe he was trying to call back. Sure enough, he called again. He asked if I got home OK and I said yes. Then he apologized for being a jerk. He said he thought about his actions that weekend and realized he had acted like an old fool. hehe! I told him I accept his apology and I forgave him. I mentioned we both sort of acted like jerks. So that was the end of that.

Well, I am sick and tired of the Craigslist forums. The people on there are so snooty and judgmental! UGH! So I don't go in there that much anymore. One person, who calls herself MsCynic and I got into a big battle because I don't like cats in my house. But there is good reason why I don't. I don't like cats getting on my kitchen counters and putting their dirty feet where I prepare food. Anna had looked into staying with a roommate, and the last one she looked at for both of us, the woman had 6 cats! I couldn't live there! I thought she only had 1 or maybe 2. That I could tolerate until we found a place of our own. But NOT 6 cats!!! Well, MsCynic got all bent out of shape because I don't care to have cats in my house. I just let her have her little run until she attacked me on a totally unrelated thread. A troll had posted pups for sale, and I responded (knowing it was a troll, mind you), and MsCynic said "It's a troll you noodle!" LOL! I just said a big "DUH!!" That shut her up! hehehe!

I think out of all the people on that forum, the one that I absolutely abhore the most is this one who calls herself OCD-Aussie. I cannot stand her at all! Not even the slightest little bit. I don't think there's anyone on any forum I hate as much as I hate her. GOD forgive me for that! But she just makes me want to smack her across he face so hard! She is so judgmental! And she never posts unless it is to bitch and gripe about something or someone. She never helps anyone out! She just bitches. She claims her life is not miserable at all, but I think she's just putting up a front. It probably is very miserable, and she just doesn't want to admit it. I know I said ColliesRock was bad, but I've noticed she's at least been helpful in some threads. She's given some people some good advice. For a while I didn't like LuvMyAkita, but she too has also been helpful at least some times. But OCD-Aussie is not helpful at all! All she does is gripe. I've never seen her post on that forum unless its a thread she can bitch about. She never helps anyone, she never compliments people's pet photos, she never lets loose and has fun, she just does nothing but bitch, moan and gripe! I must say I feel very sorry for any pets or people that are imprisoned with her. She's nothing but a dirty, stinky butthole. And people wonder why I have zero respect for show breeders. People like OCD-Aussie is why!! I'm sure if she tried, she could offer up someone some great advice, but she doesn't. All she does is bitch and moan on that forum! IF she does ever offer anyone advice, she does it in such a way that is so hateful and vindictive, no one wants to hear her. Why she goes in there if it upsets her so much is beyond me! It'd be great if she would just leave the forum, and never return!

A New Change

Well, as anyone who has been reading this blog since the end of last year knows, I will be moving to Montana. Looks like again it is inevitable! My ma and I talked about it last night and something has suddenly come up for her, and she's going to have to quit her job here. I feel bad, I know she loves this job, and she really does not want to leave it. And I really don't want to leave this area! I love it here! But the only way I can really stay here is if I win the lotto or something! And that is not likely to happen! I've never had that kind of luck before. But anyway, so it looks like we will be moving officially in May. In some ways, I cannot wait. And in some ways, I still say I don't want to go! Anna was telling me how she had to deal with nosebleeds for the first month in Montana!! UGH!! I have enough trouble here with my sinuses! I don't need them to get worse! But I have to adjust.

Anna said she already found a place for us to stay temporarily while we look for a place. But there are a few problems. The house sounds wonderful and it's close to the university. The woman has cats however, and a big dog, a mutt! I don't like mutts. This mutt is half golden retriever, which is double bad news! They're hyper dogs. And Anna said when she visited the house, the dog attacked another dog, a black labrador. That has me worried. I would have to see how it interacts with little dogs before I commit to this agreement. The dog gets along good with the cats this person has, but I don't know if it will be able to tell the difference between a chihuahua and a cat! The cat thing also worries me. Not everyone is conciencious about fleas on their pets as I am. And cats are big contributors of fleas in an environment! That's one of many reasons I do not like cats in my house. But I can tolerate it for a couple months. IF they don't have fleas! I should have Anna tell this woman to give me a call and I can ask her all I need to ask her.

Well, this move will mean all kinds of new changes in my life. I've never moved out of state on my own before! I haven't lived in a different state since I was a kid, that was when we lived in California temporarily. I was a young child and it was easier then for me to adjust to it. I don't know how I will adjust to this move. I don't know how long it will take to adjust to this move. I've also never before lived that far away from the family! At least when we moved to California, we still had family with us. But in Montana, we have nobody! I am in a way also trying to talk Anna into moving someplace closer by. Like Salem, OR perhaps. Ma lived there before and she liked it. I would like it better than Montana, because of the atmosphere is more like it is here, instead of being so dry like it is in Montana. Anna said it's so dry there, she has to constantly keep putting lotion on her hands and stuff. That would SUCK having to keep doing that day in and day out! Plus Salem has Willamete University, which Anna can continue her studies at. But Anna has already found a place that says they can give her a job in Montana. I'm not sure I can find exactly the same thing in Salem now. I could try though. At least I can go to Salem, check out some apartment buildings and rental homes, and perhaps check out some agencies that can give Anna a job for the summer. I can do that in one weekend, and still be able to come home. Salem is not as far away as Montana.

Well, one thing about living in Montana, it will be an adventure. It will be a totally different experience. I just hope I don't get discouraged while attempting to adjust to this change. I'm kinda on pins and needles for 2 different reasons. After ma told me that I need to consider moving to Montana sooner than I expected, I was in shock! So much so, I couldn't even take my nap! I suddenly felt like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. Odessa could tell I was upset too. LOL! When I tried to take a nap yesterday, she huddled right over me and did not move. But once ma told me she had to quit her job here in town, there was little doubt in my mind that it's time to make our move. We had to get out of here.

Well, on the lighter side, I have now another group of 'fans'. Yeah, fans like the delusional mods were fans. LOL! The vegans have begun attacking me on Facebook. I happened to find out by way of one of my new friends, who tagged me in a comment. I'm sure she meant no harm, and I am still her friend. But I saw the comments being made about me by people I don't even know. They were so hysterical! In a weird way. These people were accusing me of trying to push my beliefs on them, and all that kind of jazz. It was funny hearing them say things like that, because in no way at all am I trying to push my beliefs on vegans. In fact, if more vegan/vegetarians would be like me, the world would be a more peaceful place and they would not have the savage reputation they have now. I don't push my beliefs on people. And I don't threaten anyone with violence, or call them names, just because they do not agree with me. Yet, a lot of vegans do all of that. These people (on the Facebook page) were such dumbasses, most of them didn't even watch the whole video before commenting. If they would have, they would have heard my disclaimer that I am in no way trying to convert them from their beliefs, and I always say "If you want to go vegan, then go vegan." I always leave the choice open to them, and I discussed and corrected what I know is not true. Yet they stand in castigation over me. Their problem is that of most vegans all over the world. They take everything out of context and twist it around to take on a meaning of their own. One of my new friends and I got into a discussion about this, and even she said that she enjoys my videos because I DO NOT try to push my beliefs on her. And I never will. In fact, I have praised her to the hilt for being a vegan and keeping with that choice in her life because it's done so well for her. And I mean it. I wouldn't tell her I am happy for her if I didn't mean it.

Fear of the Truth

Face it, people hate it when their beliefs are proven wrong. That is a fact. And no one is more in denial than hardcore vegans and vegetarians. I sometimes wonder if they are in some kind of cult, because they all seem to think and feel the same way. Not saying they are all bad, I have some vegan friends, and as people I like them as much as I like all my other friends. Just like all groups of people, some are good and some are bad. Some are just downright evil. I finally just eliminated one of the most evil people that I've ever met on YouTube, and that was MsPearlsGirl. Anyone who says they want to see someone's kids die is truly screwed up and needs to seek professional help. She wasn't just bad. She was pure evil! I know I am a little nutty, and I usually like other people who are just as crazy as I am. I even sometimes joke to my sis Eva that she needs to find other homes for some of her kids. But that's just a joke, and Eva knows it!! But MsPearlsGirl is the kind of crazy that needs to be behind bars, with the key thrown away or melted away, one or the other. She truly gives vegans a bad name, and they know it.

Anyway, I recently made a 2-part episode debunking the myths one man, named Gary Yourofsky, told about veganism. Gary Yourofsky is one of those vegans who acts out for animal rights. If he was doing it for animals that really need help, like endangered mountain gorillas, I would be on his side. Though there is no chance that I would become vegan. But he's doing it for animals that we slaughter for food. And yes, in my research I found we truly need meat in our diet. Yourofsky has been arrested 13 times, and banned from 5 countries. I'm thinking OMG! That's nothing to be proud of!

Well, I knew that once I posted up my videos debunking Yourofsky's theories, that the vegan shit-fit-fest was going to start up again. Sure enough, it did! I knew my theories and research was going to be challenged. It didn't take long for that to happen either. I'm surprised more vegans haven't shown up and shat their pants yet! In my research, I tend to stay away from ARA groups, because I know they are going to be biased, and usually complete douchebags! And I don't listen to douchebags! There was one site that I hit to actually try to prove that veganism is the best for our health, I wanted to do a comparison. The site was stevepavlina.com and he wrote a blogpost about humans supposing to be herbivores. Here is the link: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/09/are-humans-carnivores-or-herbivores-2/. The problem I have with his blog is he is a complete douchebag! Look at how disrespectful he is to people who disagree with him in the comment section. And as far as I see, most of the commenters are just trying to disagree in a civil manner. Not calling him names nor anything. Just give thier point of view. Steve Pavlina also argues in the comments section that humans have foreward-facing eyes so we can read better. As if to say we evolved binocular vision so we can read books!

Most of the time, when I argue veganism, I tend to look at our closest living relatives, the chimpanzees. Chimps are truly omnivorous. The only purely herbivorous ape is the gorilla, and we are not in any way closely related to gorillas. But gorillas do have the trademarks of a pure herbivore. They are big, slow-moving, and have pot bellies and powerful, crushing jaws. Plus they have to eat a lot, about 60 pounds of food per day, just to get all the nutrients they need. Chimps are a whole other story. They are smaller, move faster, and do not have the size bellies that gorillas have. Only the young specimens do. Check out this article about the comparison of our diet vs. that of chimps: http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~stanford/chimphunt.html. This guy even argues that a vegetarian diet is definitely good for us, which leads me to believe he is not biased. But at the same time he knows that a mixed diet is better. Chimps are the only apes besides ourselves that hunt. But almost all apes (except gorillas) are known to take in meat in one form or another. Orangs have been known to eat eggs, and grubs. Bonobos also hunt small animals, though their meat intake is less than that of chimpanzees. For information about that, check out Walker's Mammals of the World.

There really are very few purely herbivorous primates, less than 50% of the known primate species are herbivorous. That is, they do not take in any form of animal protein at all, except maybe an occasional accident. Here is a list of purely herbivorous primates:

Family: Lemuridae
Varecia (2 species)
Lepilemur (26 species)
Hapalemur (5 species)
Prolemur (1 species)

Family: Indriidae
Indri (1 species)
Propithecus (8 species)
Avahi (9 species)

Family: Cebidae
Cacajo (2 species)
Alouatta (9 species)

Family: Cercopithecidae
Colobus (5 species)
Procolobus (10 species)
Trachypithecus (17 species)
Presbytis (11 species)
Semnopithecus (7 species)
Pygathrix (3 species)
Rhinopithecus (5 species)
Nasalis (1 species)
Simias (1 species)

Hominidae
Gorilla (2 species)

Total is 125 purely herbivorous primates. Really out of those, the only ones that really count are those closest to us, the gorillas. Some families aren't even listed because those families of primates have no purely herbivorous species. Those families are the Cheirogalidae, Lorisidae, Galagidae, Callithricidae, Tarsiidae, Daubentoniidae and Hylobatidae. Of course I didn't count subspecies, I figured the separate species were enough. But a total of 125 purely herbivorous primates in an order of about 350 species closest in relation to humans is enough to tell me that humans are not deer, or cattle. We were never meant to live purely herbivorous. Animals that are purely herbivorous have specialized digestive tracts and methods they use to fully digest plant matter. For example, the colobine monkeys (the monkeys listed under the family Cercopithecidae) have digestive tracts almost exactly like those of rumnents. Other herbivores, like rabbits and gorillas, reingest their own feces to get all the nutrients they need. Not that we couldn't do that, but would we? Who is going to eat their own feces?

On top of that, Yourofsky also equated human emotions onto animals. While there is no doubt that animals feel sadness and joy as we do, he implied that animals that have never been off a farm before, know that they are heading to slaughter. This is so not true! Animals cannot read. They have no idea what they are being put on a truck for. Animals cannot know what the word "slaughter" means. Yourofsky says animals are "self-aware". But they are not. Not in the same way humans are. You tell an animal he's stupid, and he'll just look at you and continue what he's doing. He won't care if you call him that! Because he doesn't understand what you are saying. Some animals can learn to recognize sounds, like their names, and learn to come when they hear their names. But that's after some training time. And that only goes for some animals. But no animal out there is ever going to learn to associate the word "slaughter" with "death". Or even the word "kill" with "death". I think Yourofsky watched Charlotte's Web too many times!

Not only Charlotte's Web, but also Dr. Doolittle 2! For him to use the word "speciesism" in his speech was a little too off the wall. In my video, I stated that word was made up by Eddie Murphy for the sake of comedy in Dr. Doolittle 2. It's not a real word! It's one thing to be a racist, but there is no such thing as a speciesist! Never was, and never will be. I said in the video that I hate panthers, I can't stand lions, leopards or tigers. People get arrested for being racists, but am I suddenly going to be arrested because I hate panthers? And as for us thinking our species being superior, it's natural to look after our own species. No other creature in nature is going to sacrifice it's self for another species. I said I want to see a video of one species (other than a human) purposefully sacrifice it's own life to save the life of another species. I've never seen any other animal do that except human ARAs. Though I will even sacrifice my life to save my dogs, but that's a different story. I chose to bring these dogs into my home, I chose them to be a part of my "pack". And as their pack leader, I will defend them viciously from harm. But I have no pet cows, pigs or chickens, and I will not bother to sacrifice myself for them. Thus I will not sacrifice my health for them.

As for the health benefits of becoming a vegan, opposed to maintaining a mixed diet, my grandma had an aunt, everyone affectionately called her "aunt Dump", her real name was Mary, and she ate meat every single day of her life. It wasn't all she ate, but she did have meat, veggies and bread for every single meal. She died in 1995 at the age of 102 years old! She was a healthy woman then too. In fact, for her 100th birthday, she went for a helicopter ride. It was something she wanted to do her entire life, and when she turned 100 years old, the family took her for a helicopter ride! While I will not say that there aren't some people who can survive nicely on a strictly vegetarian/vegan diet, I don't recommend everyone try it because not everyone is the same. Just as some people can spend their entire lives smoking and not get lung cancer, some people can follow a purely vegan diet and not have any ill effects. But since being a vegan almost killed my grandma, I fear it may have nearly the same ill effects on myself. I choose not to take that chance. For another former vegan's point of view, I urge you to visit this blog: http://voraciouseats.com/2010/11/19/a-vegan-no-more/. I believe I have posted this before. But I say again, check out her blog.

Crossing the Line

OK, this morning, our 'friend' crossed the line. I can handle name-calling and all that good stuff. But MsPearlsGirl totally crossed the line this morning. Now, she is even beginning to make threats. Even though I know they are empty threats! I mean, what is she really going to do to me? LOL! She doesn't even seem like the type that would really carry out any threat. Evil as I do see her to be! Besides, she'll never find me. Even if she did, she'd never get through my door. And even if she did show up here, I'd just sit on her and break her back! LOL! If that doesn't work, I've got pepper spray and spider killer. If I catch her, or any stupid vegan here to carry out her threats, she'll get a heafty dose of that. :) But anyway, I find threats of any kind (empty or not) completely unacceptable and uncalled for. Again I ask, is this civil? I mean, vegans talk about how we are civilized now, and don't need to kill any living thing. Is it civilized to threaten to harm another person? Yesterday, Katrina kept urging me to block MsPearlsGirl. I said I couldn't. Because up until this morning, she didn't really do anything wrong. I know she was calling me names, and I could sense she is an evil person (like I said, I'm a damn good judge of character). Katrina sensed it too apparently! But up until this morning, MsPearlsGirl didn't do anything really wrong. She had a right to her opinion. For me to block someone just for having an opinion goes against everything I believe in. But this morning, she was making threats and being totally disrespectful to another one of my viewers, who seems to have more class as a vegan than MsPearlsGirl does. I won't stand for that. If you ask me, vegans like MsPearlsGirl are the ones that need to be totally eradicated, and leave the more classy ones here. LOL! That's a joke, BTW. I would never do a thing like that! Not even to MsPearlsGirl. Well, leave karma to come and get her. I told her to take her nonsensical droning elsewhere. Then I blocked her.

Well, now, I want to extend my deepest condolences to the people of Japan. They were first struck with a major earthquake, and now a tsunami. They had a deep double-whammy! I have a couple of friends in Japan, and I am hoping that they stay safe! We had a tsunami warning here too. Ma was here and she woke me up saying that there is a tsunami warning in this area. We live about a block from the beach, so that was a major concern! Though I know we almost never really have tsunamis here. There hasn't been one in this town in (I think) about 150 years. Japan has them all the time. I have one friend that moved there from the US. She now lives in Okinawa, which she said was not struck by either disaster. I was glad to hear that! Katrina came over yesterday to see that I was alright, and I told her I was. And we spent the day together. She helped me clean the house a bit. She too heard about the tsunami warnings for this area on Friday, and she just wanted to visit to make sure I was fine. Anna also heard about the warnings out here, and she said she wished I could come to Bozeman. LOL! A little too far for now.

"TimmyFat"

hehehehe! I had to save this comment by MsPearlsGirl. Yesterday she was the first person to win a place in my new Dim-wit Hall of Fame, which is a new page I started to display the most dim-witted comments I get on YouTube from clueless people like her. Check it out! Just like a number of vegans, she is a hypocrite. She stands against killing animals for meat, but doesn't seem to mind supporting BYBs and PMs.

She claims to be a 36 year old vegan, who looks half my age. Yet she has no pics up to prove it. I made an announcement on my dog breeding video about the new page on this blog, and MsPearlsGirl as much as gave me permission to talk about her. So I guess all is fine. :) This was the comment she made:

"That's fine, Timmyfat. You can't get anyone to fuck you, you hideous thing. Perhaps if you had compassion, became vegan and lost a tonne of that flab, someone might just want you."

I love it that she called me "Timmyfat"!! hehehe! I think I actually mentioned that somewhere back in this blog (or on one of my videos) that I wondered how long it would take someone to come up with that! LOL! I like it, but Timmy may not. Sorry Timmy. :x Don't worry dude, she means me, not you! Oh and of course, like all uneducated individuals, she brings up sexual overtones! LOL! Cool!

Anyway, in my research yesterday, I found out a lot of people who claim to be vegans are actually closet omnivores. That is, they also consume eggs, fish, chicken, etc. in smaller quantities. The problem is that most of them are afraid to admit it because other vegans will jump them. In order to become a full-fledged vegan, that is to get all the nutrients our body needs to function through veggies and fruits only, we would have to eat a number of fruits and veggies that are actually so rare, you can't get them at any typical grocery store. Either that, or take a lot of supplement pills, which is unnatural. Again raising the question vegans have about living an "all natural" lifestyle. No, I am not putting down vegans here, this is the simple truth. This is actually part of the truth they don't want you to know! Well, I called out MsPearlsGirl. This was my response to her:

"@MsPearlsGirl LOL! I bet you can't get laid either. You're probably a fat-ass yourself, you're just hiding it. And from what I've read so far, a lot of self-proclaimed "vegans" are actually closet omnivores. No doubt in my mind you are one of those too. You're just too scared to admit it because from what I see here about you, you're a spineless person. LOL!"


I'm a good judge of character! LOL! So now I've decided since she's given me permission to talk about her, I'll have a little fun with her. LOL! From the research I've done so far, a lot of people who tell you they are a true vegan, and eat absolutely no animal products, are complete LIARS!!! They are obviously not as healthy as they make themselves out to be. A balanced diet is what is important. I'm not denying there are some people who can do good on a vegan diet, but most people cannot survive on a truly vegan diet. MsPearlsGirl is definitely one of those that is most likely a closet omnivore. Either that, or a wholly vegan diet is eating away at her brain. LOL! She's one of those that would give vegans a bad name. Here is her response to me from my last comment:
 
Nope, you fat miscreant blobby mass, I weigh 55kg, which is about as much as your left leg. I'm vegan, which means I don't eat nor wear any animal products. My vegan boyfriend fucks me, but he wouldn't go near you if he were drowning in a sea of piss and you were a tree. Can you walk? I bet you need one of those motorised carts that geriatrics use. Weird, considering you're 36 but look 56. 


Her spelling, and basic subject-selection skills tell me she is NOT a 36 year old like she claimed she was. I looked at this post and thought to myself "She's not 36! She's 12 years old if she's a day!" That's just judging by her writing skills! So anyway, I decided to have some fun with her. I could have a lot of fun based just on this paragraph alone!! These were my responses to her:
 
@MsPearlsGirl LOLOL!! Keep trying to convince me. Your actions speak louder than your words. ;)



@MsPearlsGirl <----- is a fat-ass! A fat-ass! LOL! Like me, only at least I don't hide it. ;)



@MsPearlsGirl Oh yes, and just so you know, I don't believe you are 36 at all. LIAR!! You're probably like 10 years old, and just looks 36. LIAR!! LIAR!!! You closet omnivore. hehehehe! ;P


And you want to take a guess that this "boyfriend" she spoke of is not even a boy? It's probably a girl. That could be who "Pearl" is. Am I worried that a lesbian girl thinks I'm a "fat, ugly, incompassionate miscreant"? Hell NO!! LOL! I'm honored in fact. I'm straight. I'd hate to break a lesbian's heart if I have to tell her I only like guys.
