When I tell people I'm a vegan, I get a wide variety of reactions. Generally, the questions include things like, "why?" "Don't you miss cheeseburgers?" But I am here to clear the air and, hopefully, shed some light on this dietary decision.

Let me first start of by saying I am a big believer that people should do what's right from them, not what anyone else believes is right. This also holds true when people decide what to nourish their own bodies with. I have no problem with people eating meat if that's what is best for them morally and physically. I'm a server at a steakhouse, so really, who am I to look down on anyone for consuming it?

********************
There are two kinds of vegans, aggressive and passive. This woman is passive. She just cares about her own life choices, not the choices of others. She is not a vegan evangelist. She works in a steakhouse and that doesn't compromise her morals. For me, that's not an option. You must understand that some vegans don't care about recruiting other people to be vegan. They are absent-minded to the cruelty and suffering of animals. To them, veganism is a personal choice, and the accept anyone who is the exact opposite. Oh well, life is full of yin and yang.

I did the voice for this commercial. I've had this tea and it is incredible! Try the Roobois or Chai!

I went to the Obama Rally last night. We got there around 3:30 p.m. There was a winding line and we just so happened to get in the front of the line by asking some guy a question about the line. He didn't know which was the end or the beginning. Anyway, we got through and passed all the vendors selling $5 shirts, $10 shirts, 2 for $5 buttons. It was overwhelming. Every couple of feet people were asking us to volunteer to get signatures for different causes. One lady got really aggressive and followed me for 50 feet asking me to help pregnant teens. I was hot, sticky, hungry and not interested, not now anyway. Residually, another woman asked a few minutes later. I didn't even turn around for her. She got really angry and said, "I'm just trying to help Obama!" I still didn't turn around. I thought she walked away, she didn't. She added, "You know some people have the nastiest attitudes and it makes my job much harder." Sweetie, I'm sure you've been ignored before - don't take it personally. I'm sorry I upset her but maybe she should find another job, where her feelings can be protected. I just was sick of people bum rushing me 10 times in 30 minutes - nothing personal.

We got to the steps and waited for them to open up the metal detector area. A man on a bullhorn said that if you have a blue ticket, you can skip this line. Woohoo, we had a blue ticket because we registered online. We mosied on over to the "special line" and I had my pursed molested, by a woman thank goodness.

It was so hot, I thought I would faint. I sat down near the stage and waited for the peace van to arrive. Several officials got up to speak, but the closer you were to the stage, the less you could see or hear. They had music going, bands, food, drinks etc. In the meantime, I took photos of all the different races of people who showed up to support Obama. It was a mixed bag. Black, white, hispanic, indian, jewish, asian ... everybody. That part was really cool.

When Obama arrived, everyone started pushing and shoving, getting out their cameras. Adults and children sat on people's shoulders to get a better look. There was an abnormal distribution of really tall people there, over 6'3". I still got some good shots and video.

It got very chaotic after about 10 minutes, so we decided to leave. As we headed for the exit, the people further back could hear everything and see much more than those in the front. Ironically.

The exit - what exit. The large crowds of people still waited to get in was insane. I've never seen so many people in my life - other than in the Miami Arena. These were the 5 o'clockers. We waited for 15 minutes to be let out, because the people coming in blocked the exit. I was behind a woman in a wheelchair. I actually saw someone climb over her. I'm happy we left when we did because 30,000 people trying to leave sounds like a nightmare.

It was amazing and I'm glad I got to share that with my daddy. :)

Mother Nature - Inga Ambrosia

Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.

Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you.
Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.
You can only go as far as you push.
Actions speak louder than words.
The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else.
Don't let the past hold you back; you're missing the good stuff.
Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while, you might miss it.
A best friend is like a four leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have.
If you think that the world means nothing, think again. You might mean the world to someone else.
When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there
True friendship never ends.
Friends are forever.
Good friends are like stars....You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.
Don't frown. You never know who is falling in love with your smile.
What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying is the person who made you cry?
NOBODY IS PERFECT UNTIL YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM. (Isn't that the truth?)
Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end.
Most people walk in and out of you life.
But only friends leave footprints in your heart

Hello Beautiful Souls,

As you know, I'm a vegan, not a vegetarian. Going vegan is usually the next step after someone takes meat out of their diets. Eggs, milk, cheese and butter are not that great and should be easy to give up too. Eggs are gross, milk has puss and blood in it, and butter is disgusting!

If you need help, please email me. The animals will thank you, and your body will be deliriously happy and healthy. Muah!!
