I was going to start this month out saying I was giving up lying but there really are many more forms of deception than just lying. You can deceive by omission, you can deceive by implication, deception by exaggeration etc. That’s why I’ve chosen the word deception to measure my progress. After a hearty meal [...]

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 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 [...]
