Peaceable Kingdom trailer

Need I say more? Watch. Learn.

Understand that the meat you eat and the milk you drink is laden with cruelty—that mothers and their children are separated, that it is unhealthy.
Some people say it is a choice.

Yes it is.

It is a choice between ignoring the truth about factory farming (and as a result dehumanizing yourself) and realizing the truth about where your food came from—the realization that it was once alive with emotions, feelings, desires just like yours.

I ask how any mother would feel if their children were taken away from them so that milk could be harvested from their breasts.
How can any Jew or any culture that has been slaughtered and treated "like an animal" by another "superior authority" not make the connection between that experience and what a farm animal goes through before it gets to your plate, into your mouth, and a part of your body.

You may find plenty of rationalizations and excuses but none of them ring more true than reality—the reality of now, the reality of the choice you have. I am not trying to change you- I am trying to give you the opportunity to seek the truth and listen to your heart and make that decision to change, all by yourself.

It's Springtime in Ithaca


Been a while since i have posted. Lots has happened. The relationship is over (but the friendship isn't) and the house is in the process of being sold, and everything is going to be alright.

What isn't ok is the snow we got last night. It is officially Spring, but you wouldn't know it based on the snow on the ground. It's pretty the first few times but by the 20th snowfall I can say that i am officially sick of the snow. I'll be less aggravated by it once i move into my new apartment in Cayuga Heights. I'll be able to walk to work if I want and won't have to worry about driving in this snow. The public bus has a pickup a block from home and a drop-off right in front of work.

Official Designer


Many have heard of the NBA (National Basketball Association) but few people know about the NDA.
The NDA you say? Yes, the national Designers Association. I got this t-shirt online after a co-worker saw it. I had to have it. It takes the style of the NBA logo and MLB logo but puts a designer in it-obviously.
The dude in the picture actually looks a lot like me. Which is funny.
