I am on my first month of being vegan. I has not been perfect, but for most part, my diet has been meat, diary and animal product free.
I tried being vegan once before, when I was vegetarian, and just couldn't do it.
But, with being healthy and green being trendy and somewhat popular, there are a lot more choices than there were about ten years ago when I first tried. I can get a kick-ass soy cheese pizza delivered, fake chicken burgers, fake Italian sausage. Just about anything I desire there is now a vegan friendly alternative.
But, it got me thinking of all the animals I have eaten.
I have wanted to make this list for a while, actually, I am a pretty adventurous eater.
But now it seems all the more appropriate.
So here it goes, in no particular order:
Cow/Bull (beef)
Chicken
Turkey
Duck
Pig (pork)
Squirrel
Turtle
Wild Boar
Squid
Crab
Octopus
Sea Urchin
Shark
Swordfish
Fish (this could get redundant, so rather than listing salmon, tuna, pollack, catfish, red snapper, etc., I will limit it to fish. You get the idea.)
Buffalo
Clam
Oyster
Eel
Deer

Now my plate will no longer resemble Noah's Ark.

We recently relocated our agency from Scottsdale to Phoenix. To promote our new digs, we developed a moving campaign fashioned after the 1950's Ed Wood style B-Movie's. We filmed it. We directed it. We acted in it.

At first I thought this was a good one.
Doritos teaming up with a pharmaceutical company.
Like Spicy Nacho flavored Xanax.
Then I realized the chances of OD'ing are greatly increased.

A staple in San Diego for more than a decade featuring some of the most talented musicians around (boasting current and former members of Jejune, Earthless, Fu Manchu, The Freaks, and more) Lady Dottie and the Diamonds are the regions premier blues act. It’s a boogie-woogie dance party that goes all night.

The band leader, Lady Dottie, is a soulful woman in her early 60s named Dorothy Mae Whitsett. Singing everywhere from the kitchen to the pulpit, she was raised in a family of 14 and performed in a gospel choir. “It was hard coming up, but I’m still here and feeling good, too” Whitsett admits. “Days of hunger made me stronger!” An Alabama-bred fireball, Dottie’s curvier than Lombard and got more gumption than a pack of wolves. She’s a tambourine-toting, hip gyrating powerhouse with a sultry voice that will leave you trembling.

“I feel privileged to turn a new generation onto the blues” Whitsett says. “We have to realize that people are meant to come together, and nothing does that like music.”

Without fail, Dottie and her Diamonds work audiences into a fevered frenzy. This band seems God-sent. Shine On You Crazy Diamonds!

Ok, I know. The last Rocky movie. Gimme a break. But it was on, had a three star rating on the guide, so I watched it. I have to admit, it was a really good movie. And I keep coming back to this scene where Rocky is talking to his son and gives him some of the best advice I have ever heard.
