Another Day in Paradise

Focusing on health and fitness has worked well for me for the last two months. I averaged 5 gym visits a week and have for the most part stayed off of carbs. I feel more progress than what's visible. It was also nice that I went to the tanning salon last month and added some color. All together, very positive and motivating.

Despite my positivism, the reality is that the only thing worse than being a human out here is being a four-legged animal, at least no one is stuffing me into a sack and finishing me off with a shot gun. That's how unwanted kittens are handled. Last time I checked animal cruelty was a crime. Apparently not in this part of the country. No one thinks twice about shooting a dog behind the head and tossing it into the river. And these are the pro-lifers. This is a dead zone in every way possible. People have nothing to do but to eat and breed, which in turn result in obesity and unplanned pregnancies. Unfortunately, people never seem to fuck enough to counterbalance the over eating so eventually people eat their ways out of fuck. If people here didn't reproduce this much there would be a higher proportion of people with compassion in the world. This is kind like that movie, Have you heard about the Morgans?, except if you were really sent here on a witness protection program you'd probably wish you were dead. Since i'm ranting already I might as well add that I can't stand people who say "oh, I love Chinese culture!" WTF, just because you've watched a couple Jet Lee movies it doesn't make you an expert on Chinese culture. A bit harsh? There are always a few days in the month when my attitude is just down right shitty. Today is one of those days.

I better have dinner and get to the gym.
