MyGen Profile Generator

My Interests

POLITICS. Food. Human rights, sustainable resources, philosophy as a lifestyle. Pesce-Vegetarianism ( No, I don't do it because I think animals aren't for eating, because they are. How you treat them and what you put into them is important, though, and my country is shitty at caring about both... And besides, we were not built to consume the amount of meatstuffs we do as a society on a daily basis. One salted Buffalo to split between a small village once a month. Srsly.) Music, art, travel, gin, film, literature, and swing dancing (or trying to)... Defending the Constitution, cheap red wine, intense discussion/debate, the moon, my puppy, my peoples. (That and catching fireflies in VA and playing tag in the dark.)










Fight The Man.
