Remain In What You Are The Center Of Your Life

 

Ok, a while ago I was researching what happens to your body when you become a vegetarian and I found this. I thought it was funny...but you might not...but thats ok!

 

Vegetarian Pros and Cons

A quick breakdown of what you really need to know.

 

Pros:

Contribute to solving:

-World hunger (it takes more energy to raise and produce animal meat than the meat itself provides)
-Deforestation (forests and rain forests are being cut down to provide grazing land for animals)
-Soil erosion (grazing animals that eat the grass strip the land and make it vulnerable to wind and soil erosion, thereby destroying prime agricultural land)
-Disease (vegetarian diets reduce the risk of heart disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, cancer...)

-It's cheaper (dairy and meat products are expensive.)
-Vegetarians will not contract mad cow disease!
-It's cool; (Albert Einstein was vegetarian, Paul McCartney of The Beatles is.)

Cons:

-Meat tastes great and is filling.
-There may be some resistance and criticism from non-vegetarian family members.
-The Canadian Food Guide does not provide guidelines for vegetarians. Research must be done and attention paid to nutrition to avoid zinc and iron deficiencies, illness, anemia.
-It takes a lot of effort and creativity to avoid the boredom of salads.
-People get anxious and uptight when a vegetarian is invited for dinner.

Thanks again Sara for letting me take off your myspace! Ok, if you didn't read my last journal about making band directors angry, do that first! Cuz those have information at the top that i could have retyped again and not wasted as much time! But oh well!

Top 34 ways to anger your band directors!

1. Make music sound like evil clowns killing people (actual comment from my director after we sight read a piece called "Tall Cedars")
2. Sharps schmarps, play b flats and ignore all sharps, both accidental and in the key signature.
3. Flats schmats, play b natural and ignore all flats, both accidental and in the key signature.
4. Make sure every stand you walks by falls
5. Whenever you raise the stand height, make sure that it comes off all together, spilling all music in the process.
6. Listen carefully to his directions to fix a section of the music. Do the exact opposite. Insist that's what he said in the first place.
7. Get a brass player to empty his spit valve on the podium. Often.
8. Drop instrument parts during rehearsals (mouthpieces, bells, slides, cymbols, etc). If you're really daring, do it during a concert.
9. Wait until well into a rehearsal before telling him you don't have your music
10. Invent your own tempo.
11. Play everything up an octave.
12. Crinkle up the originals of the music.
13. Write the music in a different time signature. Cut out some notes/add some notes to make it work.
14. Make 1 tiny mistake, then cry.
15. Ask if he's ever conducted the piece before.
16. Ask if he's ever heard so-and-so's version. Imply that he could learn something.
17. Talk. Nonstop.
18. Warm your instrument (blow warm air through it) constantly. Best if some notes occasionally come out from too much air
19. Ask why we have to play scales.
20. Ask why we never play arpeggios.
21. Always ask which divisi part you should play. Even if it's the same answer all the time.
22. Never be satisfied with the tuning note.
23. Look the other way before cues.
24. Complain about the lighting and temperature of the band room.
25. Never have the proper mute, a spare set of strings, or extra reeds. Percussion players must never have all their equipment.
26. Ask for a re-audition or seating change. Ask often. Give the impression you're about to quit. Let the conductor know you're there as a personal favor.
27. Loudly blow water from the keys during pauses (Horn, oboe and clarinet players are trained to do this from birth).
28. Long after a passage has gone by, ask the conductor if your C# was in tune. This is especially effective if you had no C# or were not playing at the time. (If s/he catches you, pretend to be correcting a note in your part.)
29. At dramatic moments in the music (while the conductor is emoting) be busy marking your music so that the climaxes will sound empty and disappointing.
30. Look at your watch frequently. Shake it in disbelief occasionally.
31. Tell the conductor, "I can't find the beat." Conductors are always sensitive about their "stick technique", so challenge it frequently.
32. If your articulation differs from that of others playing the same phrase, stick to your guns. Do not ask the conductor which is correct until backstage just before the concert.
33. Find an excuse to leave rehearsal about 15 minutes early so that others will become restless and start to pack up and fidget.
34. During applause, smile weakly or show no expression at all. Better yet, nonchalantly put away your instrument. Make the conductor feel s/he is keeping you from doing something really important.

okay. Hello again and ya.Well I have a sad story to tell you lucky people who are being so kind enough to read this. *clears throat*. Once apon a time there lived a girl named Kelly. Kelly was so happy in her math class. Not because she liked math, but because of her friends. Her and her friends were in this little group and excluded themselves from all the icky "popular" people on the other side of the room. In her little group it was Kelly, Yesinia(spelt that wrong), Sergio, and Chapa. Kelly was so happy sitting next to them. Her and Yesinia were way into music. They both Loved My Chemical Romance and AFI, although Kelly was a bit more obsessive. Well not obsesive more "passionate"(no, i am obsessed). Then one day Kelly's teacher Mrs.Nevue came in and said that we were getting a seat change. When we moved Kelly sat in the same seat but all her friends moved away except Sergio. Mrs.Nevue said that Madison would sit next to Kelly. Kelly said fu*k. Well Madison noticed Kelly's binder that was filled with MCR and AFI pictures and pointed at Davey and said "You know he is gay". "No he is not" Kelly said filled with rage. This fight went on for a while. Madison would always make fun of Kelly because she like a "gay" guy who "looked" like a girl. But Kelly stood her ground and kept saying that Davey wasn't gay and that Madison was just jealous because Davey was prettier than her. Then she brought a quote by Jade that said that Davey wasn't gay. Madison knew she was wrong but kept saying he was. Then she came up with this ubsurd idea and said that Davey was taking estrogen to make his voice higher. "WHAT!'' said Kelly. Is she really that stupid. Apparently she was. She said that he was taking them to make his screaming voice higher. "First of all the point of scremo is to scream...like a man" said Kelly. "And second, that would be considerd a drug and Davey is straight edge, which means he wouldn't do drugs." Well this battle also went on for a long time. Then Kelly freaked out at her one time during class, and everyone thought she was a freak. Then more people started to make fun of her and Kelly just gave them death glares. But she knew she won the battles against..The Madison.

                                                                    ~The End~

and that is why we shouldn't make fun of people. Because you hurt people's feelings. oh and Davey isn't gay. if you want to argue with me than bring on the duel
