I'd like to meet:
My Rambles
First thing is first. If you think I'm not a huge fan of anything I'm for just because I don't have it plastered on every inch of my page , think again.
I have to make room for everything. : )
Second of all, I wrote all the stuff in this box in the 8th grade...I've grown up a lot since then.
If you'd like some liturature, brosures, or stickers on vegetarianism, message me.

IF YOU'RE NOT A VEGETARIAN, AND YOU EAT FAST FOOD, READ THIS:
When you're eating fast food you're not only eating meat that's high in trans fat, preservatives, calories, and God only knows what else, you're also eating blood, feces, and piss.Let's start from the beginning. A typical fast food slaughterhouse can have up to hundreds of thousands of cows in one farm squashed together. Because of rushed slaughter, many cows are still alive when they're being 'processed'. The cows throats are then slit and they're skinned alive, they cut off body parts and put the meat on a processing table. The meat runs down the assembly line at alarming paces, that the factory workers can barely keep up. When they have to take the kidneys out, sometimes they can't do it fast enough and feces and piss get all over the meat. Another thing that can get into the meat is blood. Many factory workers get major injures. It's the riskiest job ever and they're getting paid less then regular factory workers. They get multiple limbs cut off and guess what? The blood goes right into your meat. So after the meat is chopped up, it goes into a pressing mold where they press it into patty shapes and put it in a freezer with like -300 degree temperatures and ships them to fast food joints everywhere. And the thing keeping them "fresh" is all the preservatives.Dairy Farms aren't much better. They constantly impregnate the cows and give them growth hormones and stuff so their milk supply is high. And the veal are fed an alternative to cows milk....cow blood. That's right.Don't believe me? Go to "themeatrix.com" and watch Fast Food Nation and Supersize Me.You can do something about this. Stop supporting it.There are still old fashion farms out there. Keep them in business because some of us will die without them. Some of us won't stand for this at all.
Vegetarianism: I've been vegetarian since July 1st 2006.I don't eat anything with a face. I don't eat gelatin. The only dairy I will eat has to be organic. You have no idea what meat is doing to your body.
-A man who eats meat has a 50% greater chance of dying from a heart attack. A man who does not eat meat only has a 15% chance of dying from a heart attack.
-More than 7 billion animals die yearly for human consumption.
-Most food animals are killed by the process of Kosher slaughter. Kosher slaughter involves hanging an animal particularly a cow or pig by its hooves. The animal's neck is cut without any kind of anesthesia. The animal hangs and bleeds to death.
-A carnivorous diet requires 4200 gallons of water per day; a vegetarian one, 300 gallons per day.
The largest meat eater to ever exist was the Tyrannosaurus Rex. (And where is he today?)
If you cut meat out of your diet you will lose weight and your acne? Gone. PETA2.COM
Stereotypes: I hate them. So don't waste your time labeling me. Because you couldn't do it if you tried.
I'm not very good with words. I'll say that first. You may not think me to be an extreme hardcore My Chemical Romance fan, but if you're some person looking to put me down, and say I know nothing about MCR, than obviously, you're not a very big fan either. I've known MCR since 2005. I know that's only 3 years, but I've done a lot of studying in those 3 years. I have 2 homemade MCR T-shirts, and 4 store bought ones, and I mean to purchase more. I know a heck of a lot about MCR too. They are the greatest. Gerard is such an inspiration. Seeing him go through all the crap he did, and not once did he think about giving up, and when he almost did, he got help. That's a true hero to me. Frank has so much energy, and he's got incredible talent, and in a way, he reminds me of myself. Ray is about the best thing the guitar nation has ever seen, asides for Synyster Gates. Boy, if those two teamed up together...wow. Mikey is the guy I would most like to be friends with. He is so shy and timid but seems to be a really outgoing person if you get to know him. Bob is the greatest! I love Bob so much. He seems like a great guy! All of these guys mean so much to me.
Green Day
March, 2004. I had just turned 12 years old and my 6th grade experience was nearly over. I had heard "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" on the radio many times before. At first I thought it was kind of cool, but they played it so much that it was getting old, overused. But when my friend, started getting way into Green Day, I wanted to find out why. I was at her house one day when she popped in her VHS of random music videos, one being "Holiday" by Green Day. I totally loved it and asked her to burn me a copy of American Idiot. Well, the following week I went on spring break, down to Jacksonville, Florida equpped with $100 in spending money. I had every intention of buying American Idiot for myself. By the end of spring break, I was turning into a Green Day fanatic. After American Idiot, I had to purchase every CD they owned. It took me almost a year, but I did it. My friend offered to burn them for me, but that would be disrespecting Green Day. They deserve every penny I put into their CDs and more. I recorded every second of TV coverage Green Day had to offer, I bought tons and tons of Green Day shirts, I bought any magazine that Green Day was in and put every picture I found on my wall, I bought Bullet In A Bible, International Supervideos, and even a Green Day American Idiot review on DVD. I spent hours on end writing and reading Green Day fanfics, and researching Green Day so I would know everything I needed to know. I was obsessed. I even got my 72 year old great grandmother and 51 year old grandmother into liking Green Day, and now my great grandmother thinks that Green Day is the only good band out there anymore, and she's almost right.
Green Day is not like all the other bands, I'm sure you can see that. Green Day can get attention without wearing tight womens jeans, covering their face with their hair, wearing obsessive amounts of eyeliner, and screaming into the microphone. All their songs aren't about death and sadness. Their songs make you think, about the important things in life, about how our country is going to waste and media is taking over and about the war in Iraq. And their other songs just make you want to have fun. Sure, there's songs about hatred, but doesn't everyone hate at sometime or another. Everybody calls Green Day sellouts, but to spread the word to your fellow Americans that it's time for a change, don't you want to sell out? Green Day has opened my eyes to a lot of things, and they've shaped the mold for how I am today.
Green Day has always helped me through my life. When I was constantly criticized every day at school by my closed minded school dwellers in a class of just 150, I came home, listened to Green Day, and tuned out the rest of the world. Sure, I had friends then that loved Green Day just as much as I did, but now they've moved on to "big and better things" and leaved the beloved boys behind. A true fan wouldn't do that. I am not one of the people that just go with the trends and like things to make a certain person happy, and that's what almost all of them did. Now , the girl who got me into Green Day can't stand them anymore. She destroyed all of their CDs and she says they're gay. That's what I don't understand about people. How can you throw something life impacting like that down the drain? Sure, I share Green Day shares my number one spot with My Chemical Romance, but there's no way I could ever forget about Green Day. Without Green Day, there's no way I would be listening to artists like The Ramones, The Frustrators, Pinhead Gunpowder, The Lookouts, and The Network [who claims not to be Green Day, but every hardcore Green Day fan can tell, come on just look at Finks face!]. Green Day opened my eyes to the real world and got me into playing guitar and writing poetry. You can even go so far as saying, if I didn't know Green Day, I wouldn't know a bunch of the music I listened to, because I discovered a lot of it on FUSE, and I started watching FUSE because Green Day played on there.
So now here we are, I'm 14 years old, getting ready to go into my freshman year of high school. Most of my friends have left Green Day behind and can't understand why I want to listen to a bunch of old men anyway. They're all into "underground" music that they know nothing about. They're into the guys who wear tight pants, eyeliner, black hair plastered to their face, and screaming songs about death and suicide. Then they mope around school complaining about how much life sucks and they wonder why people don't like them. No matter what anyone says, music influences your mood. Green Day influences my mood greatly. They always put me in a great mood and they make me feel like I can take on the world, and no matter what, I know someone has my back. These guys have been through a lot. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, it's best you invest in some research. But no matter what, they kept on going, and they didn't bow down to anybody, not even the media, and that's what's kept Green Day going strong for 18 years and counting. I know that next time Green Day comes out with an album, people will "fall in love" all over again, but it's fans like me that matter. I may have discovered them in the American Idiot era, but it feels like I've known them for a lifetime. Green Day is the best thing that's happened to me. I hope they continue to be successful until the grave.
>If you're worried about not being high up on my tops remember that I have two little siblings, a mom, plus my step dad. If you pretend they're not there, you're higher up ;)
