The flotsam and jetsom of my brain.
March 13th 2007 14:47
Have you ever seen that episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where Debra and Ray go on a weekend get away and when they come back they both wait to see who will put away the suitcase and it sits out for two weeks? Both of them going so far as to get clothes out of it later on.
I got my own little experiment of that kind in my own house right now. At the moment, THIS is what is right across from me.
Yes, that would be the suitcase my wonderful husband brought home on Friday from a two day work trip. It is currently sitting on the table we keep by our front door, and yes he has dug through it a time or two. Now, I could be a good wife and lovingly unpack each piece of clothing, and put the suitcase back downstairs. I could also whack him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper, and only one of those two options would be at all satisfying to me. HE'S A GROWN MAN, and he should know better. That's all I'm saying. So, if you come to my house weeks from now, I'm telling you, expect to see that suitcase. I'll clean up around it, but I am not fucking cleaning it up.
~~~RANDOM THOUGHT I THOUGHT UP WHEN I WAS DOING TO MUCH THINKING~~~
As I mentioned before I am reading "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser. I would like to change the way we eat around here, but the thing is.... I like meat. Lots of meat. A meal just ain't a meal unless it has a steaming pile of flesh involved somewhere. Although the book has thoroughly scared me, the thought of not eating a hamburger EVER again, I think that scares me more.
I got to thinking about how tough it is in this society to try and go against "Da man" We've all become just dependent on getting our meats from the grocery stores, the way of the butcher is long gone. Becuase I was thinking of beef, I started thinking about cattle ranchers, and then cowboys, and I got to thinking of cowboys as no longer as the bastian of American pride anymore. Then I thought, well who in this day and age would I consider the new Mavericks? The ones going against the grain and the country and doing their own thing? The modern day cowboys if you will. And you'll laugh, but I swear to you this is what popped into my head.
Hippies.
Think about it. A lot of them are vegetarian or vegan. So, they don't eat any of meat and support the slaughter houses. Most of them are for organic fruits and vegetables, swearing off fast food, they live in co ops (not all mind you) and eschew anything that can harm the enviroment. They wear natural fibers. They have set themselves up to not have to suckle from the teat of Da Man, and that's kind of awesome. I mean, sure they don't BATHE and they're also talking like "Heyyyy Maaaaannnn" that's annoying,,. but, you got to give it up to them. It's the same attitude that forged this country. Shakey fisting the ones that make the rules and say "Screw you!! I;m doing this shit my way" Hippies don't get a lot of credit, but its those that go against the grain that make a difference. No one liked cowboys either at one time.
So, here's to the hemp wearing, patculi smelling, weed smoking, veganators of the world!!

Does Ray live here?!?
