If Slaughterhouses Had Walls...
Everyone Would Be Vegetarian. Paul McCartney says it all.
I cried so hard while watching this, I couldn't even bring myself to finish the video. Instead I listened. I've seen it all before, and it's high time more people wake up and see the truth. =(
It's not just about the way we treat animals, it's about your health, it's about the environment.

The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso
"If you have a sincere and open heart, you naturally feel self-worth and confidence, and there is no need to be fearful of others".
"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."
“If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another.”
“If an individual has a calm state of mind, that person's attitudes and views will be calm and tranquil even in the presence of great agitation.”
“Dialogue is the most effective way of resolving conflict.”
“A compassionate state of mind brings inner peace, and therefore a healthier body.”
If more people lived by these simple ways, the world would be so much more beautiful. The Hate and Fear of Humans is what brings ugliness to our existence. I have lived and breathed these ways for years without ever knowing they were spoken by the one I look up to. I hope to share these ideas and help others learn to live their lives in peace, while providing peace to others. We all deserve it.

The Stars At Night Are Big And Bright!!
Deep In The Heart Of Texas =). Such a wonderful road trip and vacation! Thank you Mandy for inviting me and giving me a taste of Southern culture and hospitality. Texas is Huge. The people are warm and inviting, the food is sinfully great, the pace is slower, the economy is doing juusssst fine, and I got to spend a week with one of my best friends ever!
Mandy drove out for Thanksgiving and I decided to hitch a ride with her back to Tyler, Tx. (with Sidney =). We stopped off at the Alamo and Riverwalk in San Antonio, which it turns out, is NOT on the way to Tyler. But who cares?? I spent the week touring Tyler and some surrounding towns while Mandy went back to work. I took some awesome shots of different animals I saw at the zoo and the Cherokee Trace Drive thru Safari. Check them out on my photo blog!
She did take another day off, plus the weekend, so we had a chance to do some sightseeing and photography related things together. I finally got to meet her dad and Bobbie, who were both delightful people. I truly enjoyed the time I spent with all 3 of them. Heck, I even attended church with them, that's saying a LOT!

Steampunks!
Diana invited me to check out this SoCal Steampunk group with her, so we all dressed up and headed out to see what it's all about. We took a tour of some old Victorian Era homes in (where else?) Montecito Heights... Very interesting.. but we had a good time, learned some things and came away with a sweet album from Jon Magnificent, lol.
