No Meat – Aug 27

It’s the middle of the week at burning man.  There’s beef jerky everywhere but I don’t really crave it.  Maybe due to the lack of smell.  I’m eating well thanks to the RV and the delicious Indian cuisine I grabbed from the local trader joes.  Eating their spicy punjab choley I find it easy to [...]

No Meat – Aug 24

Being a vegetarian isn’t that hard…  That is until everyone I’m traveling to burning man with gets a breakfast dish with some form of delicious smelling pork.  The driver, got an extra side of bacon and wolfed that down too.  Very hard to say no to but I did.  Definitely the most temptation so far.  [...]

No Meat – Aug 18

I’m not sure what I’m going to give up for the remaining months but I’m pretty sure I know what next month is going to be: lying.  Lying, though, is only one form of deception so the way that I’m going to word it is to give up all forms of deceit including white lies, [...]

No Meat – Aug 15

My roommate is having a BBQ and it smells amazing.  There are chicken legs and sausage and I’m cranky that I can’t eat anything.  I’m going to go to the grocery store to get some beer and veggies to grill up.  I get some asparagus, some zuccini, some corn and shitake mushrooms. I put some [...]

No Meat – Aug 10

Why would I be more gassy w/o meat than with meat?  I would think that the opposite would be true.  And it’s not normal gas.  It’s nuclear.  Sorry friends!

No Meat – Aug 9

LA is a city that really cares about vegetarians.  Las Vegas?  Not so much.  I’m at the Hard Rock Cafe and there are only 2 dishes that don’t have meat:  the nachos and the quesadillas.  I wonder how many nachos and quesadillas I will eat this month…

No Meat – Aug 5

Unlike last month, my dreams aren’t filled with euphoric scenes of me eating every kind of meat imaginable.  I don’t think that I’ll dream about eating a burger at all this month. I find that though I’m available to drink or do other things I find myself not really craving intoxication.  I’m still really enjoying [...]

No Meat – Initial thoughts

Initial thoughts: no sweat, I don’t eat that much meat anyways I’ve never been a full vegetarian before and if left to my own devices my diet is usually about 80% veggies and 20% meat.  I tend to eat meat when only when it’s more convenient or if I have a monster craving for some [...]

No intoxications – Results

Observation: I become quite hermit like when I can’t go out for a drink Observation: When I’m not drinking I can smell booze on someone’s breath a fortnight away Observation: I missed some great parties but looking back they’re all past tense and I don’t mind Lesson Learned: Intoxicants are tools to be used sparingly [...]
