Everything your mother warned you about.
Everything your father wished he could be.

Just a lil life update.

I’ve been feeling extra ranty lately. I wonder if it has to anything to do with this vegan stuff that I’m doing. I have been taking vitamin B12 supplements because word is, apparently all vegans will die from a lack of B12. But then I did some research only to find that meat eaters store enough B12 in their livers for years so 30 days isn’t going to hurt anyone. But I take the lil pill anyway and I guess one of the benefits is clearer thinking. Which might play into me seeing things more clearly and therefore being more upset at the crappy things in this world. Oh whatever, most of it is about Republican candidates and you know how I feel about the professional haters of this world. Anyone who goes out of their way to deny equal rights to another person is a rotten asshole and the world would be better off without you on it. I don’t care what political affiliation you are. Blah blah blah. 

I told myself I’m going to force myself to use capital letters. It kind of makes me feel like a sellout but I guess if I want to be taken seriously I have to compromise and play by some of “their” rules. Either way, every time I hit that ‘shift’ key, a little part of my punk rock soul cringes a bit. 

So yeah, veganism day 13. Totally easy. Kind of bummed this 30 day challenge wasn’t more difficult. But that’s what I was telling Boo the other day. That is exactly why I do these challenges - to prove to myself that things we believe to be difficult aren’t all that difficult to begin with. Going vegan for 30 days isn’t about my health, it’s a metaphor for everything else in life that is seemingly impossible or intimidating. I mean, who knew I would be able to lose 20 pound in 11 days, but that’s exactly what I did last year. This is how you stay alive. Continuously challenging yourself. 

So I had a raffle and here are the winners:

The Direction Of Home: Lisa Stanish. Rockettes, Rockstars and Rockbottom: Ceri-Anne Murphy. Consolation prizes of The Little Things went to: Zelia E and Cecile Tricoche. 

And in other news:

- Some guy named Barack Obama hung out across the street from my apartment. Not as in, he was in Chicago, but as in he was straight up on Wrightwood Ave. 

- Did you know that I have recorded 46 hour long episodes of my podcast ‘The Deep End’? Crazy, right? Did you also know you can subscribe for free on iTunes? Just search ‘The Deep End with Christopher Gutierrez’ and click subscribe and every time you sync your ipod a new episode will show up. Nutz. 

- This has been my breakfast the entire month. Looks good, right?

Yeah, how about after it’s blended up:
