This year, more than 45 million turkeys will have their beaks and toes cut off without painkillers and their throats slit while they are still conscious—all so that they can become part of someone’s Thanksgiving dinner. Those who miss the automated knife will go into the scalding tank fully conscious and will be boiled alive.
It’s ironic that on a day when we are supposed to be celebrating the good things in life, most Americans sit down to eat dead birds who never saw the light of day or took a breath of fresh air until they were loaded onto crowded trucks to be taken to slaughter. Before they became part of someone’s Thanksgiving “celebration,” these often-crippled birds lived in chronic pain and endured cruel and painful deaths. On factory farms, thousands of turkeys are packed into warehouses where they are commonly smothered and often suffer from disease and heart attacks. There’s no better time to choose compassion by going vegetarian. Let’s make this Thanksgiving one for the birds. |

these are the top 10 bands that make us shake.
1) sigur ros-this band makes you want to escape. it takes you captive and you don't want to get out. it's the only band that makes your heart beet fast and your chest cave in...a natural high.
2) moving units-this band will make you dance until your feet hurt. great bass lines and awesome vocals.
3) planes mistaken for stars-our favorite band to see live, amazing sound and incredible guys.
4) bear vs shark-fucking incredible guys with great personalities that make great music. makes you groove. makes you never want to stop grooving.
5) kill me tomorrow-engulfs you. puts you in a trance. makes you want to move.
6) circle takes the square-the most feeling you will ever hear from band with only 3 members + one new one. great live and amazing lyrics.
7) the faint-makes you want to have sex or touch yourself. catchy and incredible.
8) decepercedos-great lyrics (conner from bright eyes other band) great voice, great music.
9) led zeppelin-makes your body shake with love, peace and excitement.
10) the who-so many accomplishments + an awesome rock opera.
if you get a chance you should listen to these bands. they make us move, they make us think, they are our insperation. |

just a little advice from the ol' mr.jack handy to brighten your day:
If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.
As I bit into the nectarine, it had a crisp juiciness about it that was very pleasurable - until I realized it wasn't a nectarine at all, but A HUMAN HEAD!!
If I ever opened a trampoline store, I don't think I'd call it Trampo-Land, because you might think it was a store for tramps, which is not the inpression we are trying to convey with our store. On the other hand, we would not prohibit tramps from browsing, or testing the trampolines, unless a tramp's gyrations seemed to be getting out of control.
GYRATION STATTTION!
just think about those for a little while, let them sink in.
AND LAUGH..ITS FUN TO LAUGH.
Stay tuned for more deep thoughts in the near future. |

realization of the day by: Erica
when i picked up and decided to make a difference in my life...like instead of sitting around and moping, just picking my selfe up and not letting myself be a bummer, not only did i feel happier and healthier and far more alive then i have in years..things that i don't controll began looking up too, like the fact that i finally got a car again after 2 months of waiting i got the car of my dreams and now the chicago trip is going to happen because we have the transportation! i've been having super amazing talks every night with a super cool guy and my family life rules! i think it has a lot to do with karma.
so my point of this entry is...remember: you are in controle...of yourselfe...and you are in controle of things you may not have known you have controle over.
be safe today everybody! |

lib·er·tine ( P ) Pronunciation Key (lbr-tn)
n.
One who acts without moral restraint; a dissolute person.
One who defies established religious precepts; a freethinker.
adj.
Morally unrestrained; dissolute.
ERICA'S TIP OF THE DAY:
YOU SHOULD REALLY THINK ABOUT MAKING YOUR OWN CLOTHES. RENEE AND I HAVE SPENT THE LAST 3 DAYS SITTING IN HER ROOM LISTENING TO GOOD MUSIC AND SEWING CLOTHES..IT IS HONESTLY THE MOST RELIEVING THING YOU COULD DO..PLUS, YOUR HELPING YOUR COMMUNITY BY NOT GIVING MONEY TO STUPID CHAIN STORES...SERIOUSLY, SPEND YOUR MONEY ON SOMTHING GOOD LIKE A CHARITY OR GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO NEEDS IT. SURE, YOUR SHOULDER MAY HURT AT THE END OF 3 HOURS OF SEWING BUT, DAMN YOU LOOK GOOD IN YOUR NEW SWEET ZIP UP. |

this is erica.
this is the story of how renee and i almost died and decided to change our lives:
we were comming home from visiting our friend kyle at wayne state, we were on 59 heading east..all of a sudden all of the cars in front of us started swerving into the left lane as fast as humanly possible, all of a sudden we noticed a dead truck in the road..no flashers..not even a foot away from us we realised we were going to die. so we clenched our bodies and i swerved to the left...didnt look in my mirrors, there was nothing else we could have done. thankfully the car next to us noticed what was going on and moved..and we both cried out of reliefe..."oh my god" ..we couldn't believe we just made it out of that.
we got home and got down in my room and i just started cleaning..histarically, and we realised...we hated our lives..we needed somthing to change.
so we made a pact..a list..some deadlines in order to simplify our lives for a better lifestyle.
we are vagans now and we won't watch tv...why should we when we could spend our time making our own clothes and working on our zine (libertine). were not going to be whores for marketing anymore and were going to stop shopping at stores. no more eating out..no more crying over boys. renee has to get a job by the 25th, we need to get the mirrors we make and sell done by the 14th.
we feel healthy, we feel happy..were going to stay safe.
oh and NO MORE STUPID LIVEJOURNAL ENTRIES..bacically we got rid of our seperate ones and were just going to use this one for poetry and things we find important.
things we feel need to get out into the public.
so if you read this..thank you.
and always think about whether or not you love your life..and your living it to your fullest extent because there is always room for change.. |
