Meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder…
While I appreciate the reasons why people go vegan or are vegetarians and I think it’s great when people choose that lifestyle, I simply cannot go without big, fat, juicy slabs of meat. The fact that I’m gay makes this statement slightly more amusing, I think. Ha, I just made myself smile. Anyway, carrying on…
I’m a carnivore, plain and simple. So it’s frustrating for me when I take a bite out of my burger today and realize that I immediately want to spit it out. My favorite burger, brought straight to me from my favorite burger place in Austin, tasted like CRAP today.
I had heard a few people say that the chemo regimen I am undergoing could have an effect on the tastes of things but never had I felt so disgusted by a food that I normally love. Yet another thing that cancer has taken away from me.
Take my confidence, take my ability to fight off sickness, take my school and my job, but dammit cancer, don’t take my food!!!
*falls down to knees dramatically and shakes fist at cancer*
(wait for it..)
*defeated, puts head down and sighs*
I called my mom to tell her that meat is tasting bad these days and she’s like, “So eat other things! Pastas, vegetables, blah blah blah” She didn’t actually say “blah blah blah” but I tuned her out after I heard “vegetables.”
I hate that when I’m finally feeling well enough to eat (as in I’m not throwing up at the thought of food) everything tastes like shit anyway. So why eat, right?
I wanna be this:
But sadly, I’m just feeling like this these days:
Yes, I google imaged “ugly barbie” to find that photo. You don’t know me. You can’t judge me. :-p
No but really, I haven’t been able to eat what I want and it’s pissing me off!
I’m still trying to fight off the boredom. I have a bunch of TV shows lined up for the coming weeks; let’s hope those last me a while (Thanks again for the suggestions, Theresa!) I’m also keeping entertained by keeping up with my list of (news, political, pop culture, science, tech, personal, just plain stupid) blogs and googling stupid shit. I know you guys are jealous that I’m living the good life.
No really, don’t laugh. :-)
One thing that I really enjoy is going to the site <a href=”http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/”>Stuff White People Like</a>. While I have a hispanic last name and I identify largely with the hispanic population, I’m also part white. So this website is especially fun for me because not only can I laugh and make fun of white people, I can also read it and completely identify with it, kinda like, “OMG WE DO LIKE THAT!”
So if you guys are bored, it’s a good read.
