If that last post wasn't profound enough for you...

I'm a meat eater. I don't really discriminate when it comes to the type of meat. I feel that all animals should have equal chance to be consumed by me. Some just stay better hidden from me than others (kudos to them). I've eaten a pretty wide variety of animals though, from cows to ducks to rabbits to quails. A favorite delicacy is the ever-popular bacon. Unfortunately, this tasty morsel is unavailable at Brandeis, where eating pigs is considered heinous and wrong. Until recently, I have objected to their objection to pork. Then, I read a reference to a Rolling Stone article on pork farms. I read the article, and as a result, I've decided to give up pork or at least make sure I know where it comes from. Call it a late new years resolution, if you will. I invite you all to hopefully share the same reaction to the article as I did:

Read the article

For those of you who are too lazy or stupid to care about what goes on in our country and what goes into the production of your food, I'll simply present this picture from Google Maps:

What you see here is a pork farm. What you see above the farm is a giant pit of toxic pig shit.

Hey! Sorry about the delay in posting.

I've been otherwise occupied by the more pressing matter of skiing. Snow out west has been abundant. Skiing has been great. Snow in the East has been little to non-existent. Skiing has been shitty. That just about sums it up. I'm getting back into race season, but it seems like it will become more like party in Vermont/New Hampshire season if the weather keeps up the way it has been. Classes have started. One of my classes, History of Photography, seemed cool when I signed up for it, seemed crappy when I had to spend $100 on books for it, but now doesn't seem that bad. I'm excited to be back, I guess. Break seemed so long. Seeing old friends is nice. Seeing new friends is nice.

I leave you with this. I simply googled "profound" and this is one of the results. I'd say that's pretty profound, man.

So I'm in Colorado for most of break

I flew out to Colorado on Saturday the 16th and I'm staying with my brother in Winter Park, CO until January 2nd. It's going to/is kick/kicking ass. I have a job working at a chain of ski stores and in my off time, I'm rockin' the slopes of Winter Park Resort. So far, it's been a blast. My parents are coming out from Christmas until new years. That's it for now. Here's a little pic of me skiing to hold you over -->

That must be a damn fine bowl

I don't know how long until this Craigslist posting will be removed, so here's the post:

It wasn't until I saw about five minutes of Top Gun on TV today

that I realized just how gay it is. I'd heard people "flame" it before, but I just thought they were making fun of another '80's movie. I hadn't seen any of it in a long time, but today, it was on TV and I watched about 5 minutes of it before I had to turn it off. Here's a prime example:

Sony to give couple a new camcorder

ST. LOUIS - A couple who found a jar of pasta sauce inside a box where a camcorder should have been said Tuesday that Sony Entertainment Inc. is giving them a new camcorder.

Melisa Rittenberg, 36, of Perryville, said she was contacted by Sony on Monday, after talking to The Associated Press about the incident, which happened after the Rittenbergs bought the camcorder at a suburban St. Louis Best Buy.

Rittenberg said she was told a replacement camera was in the mail. Phone messages left with Sony were not returned.

"I'm satisfied because we're finally going to get the camera we paid for," Rittenberg said, though she remained angry that Best Buy Co. didn't resolve the matter.

The Ellisville Best Buy store manager, Wade Trapp, said the company had been in touch with the Rittenbergs, and would follow up on the matter.

The Rittenbergs paid about $1,600 for a camcorder at the Ellisville Best Buy, in suburban St. Louis, last week. They said when they opened the box, they found a jar of Classico pasta sauce, a telephone cord and an electric outlet cover. The items were all positioned in the box where the camera equipment should have been, Melisa Rittenberg said.

The couple said they went back to Best Buy, but the store declined to give them a replacement camera or a refund.

I just heard the dirtiest song I know of

It started out innocently enough. I was on a page and there were links to a song called "Play" by David Banner and there was a clean version and an explicit version. I decided then to do a comparison to see how much they differ. Well, the lyrics are almost totally changed. These are the clean lyrics. It seemed like just another slightly skanky current song. Then I heard the explicit version. This is the dirtiest song I personally have come across. Just thought I'd share it. =]
