Interwebs,

I think its time I had an intervention.

The reason why I haven’t been updating my blog as much is that I went and saw the film: The Maze Runner (as you can tell by the title…) and then one thing led to another and next minute I’m adding it to my long list of fandoms that already exists.

I need to stop.

And I need to complete my work or else I’ll probably be spending the next week pulling all nighters.

That, and I’ve eaten like 5 burgers in the past 3 days… I think I need an intervention for that too.

… here’s something to cheer you up!

Enjoyx

Hallo my lovely Interwebs 🙂

This is another personal post today about a topic that has recently occurred and at first I was going to leave it alone but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to write this blog posts. Anyways, as you all know I have a tumblr blog that I spend the majority of my time and energy on (instead of doing my work…oops). So the other day I was just looking around my dashboard and I happened to come across this girl online who was vegan and very very angry at… well… us? And by “us” I mean all of those out there who aren’t vegan, she was even upset at vegetarians! Pretty crazy!

Here are some of her post:

And this rather demeaning poem:

“Oh I love the animals”,
The meat eater replied,
Eating a meal
For which animals died.
“I care about animals”,
The meat eater claimed,
(But only the ones
That I pet and give names).
“I could never go vegan”,
The meat eater lied,
Because how could they know?
It’s not like they tried…
“But milk doesn’t hurt them”,
The meat eater said,
Ignoring the calf
Chained up in the shed.
“We’re top of the food-chain”,
The meat eater swore,
‘Hunting’ meat from the shelves
Of the grocery store.
And they’ll dine on dead flesh,
And they’ll call us judgemental,
And they’ll pretend that their actions
Are inconsequential.

Many angry, such frustration, much hatred.

Now I’m not talking about all vegans, but I have seen some out there who are really angry about us eating meat or animal by-products. Don’t get me wrong, I do not condone vegans, vegetarians or anyone in between, however I personally do eat meat and enjoy it. Coming from someone who supports feminism, I can see the frustration that occurs when someone insults or belittles your beliefs or ideals, it’s not cool.

However my views in life, are that people should be allowed to live out their ideals/cultures/beliefs/religion in peace without having others discriminate. A lot of vegans argue that we should not eat meat and that we have no “compassion” and are “selfish” for not putting the rights of animals in front of us. This is where the conflict lies for me, whatever belief you have, you do not have the right to spread hatred or anger. That is exactly the same as Christians/Religious Groups who don’t allow same-sex marriage to be legalised, because they don’t agree with the view they instead shun any who don’t follow their ideals. Being a “carnist” may seem wrong to certain vegans but our actions do not hurt you personally on a physically level nor does it really emotionally damage you. The only thing you really suffer from is the moral comfort that comes from us agreeing with you.

And before you make the argument that if I was in the same boat I would do exactly as you would, no, no I wouldn’t. There is a difference between having a discussion and accepting the fact that someone won’t agree with you and cursing anyone who doesn’t see things from the same way that you do.

Swing Copters.

Now for those who have ever played Flappy Bird (So basically everyone with a smart phone) you would be able to relate to the horror, frustration, anger and multiple other emotions that ran through our minds at that time.

It was a dark moment in history for us smart phone users.

Now the same guy who created flappy bird has created another game…. Swing Copters.

If you thought that flappy bird was disgustingly difficult and frustrating then get ready for another level of pain. There is no way to describe the horror that ran through me the first time I played this game.

So far I’ve only gotten a high score of 7 whilst my flappy bird is at 42. THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN WITH THESE GAMES.

Hi Interwebs,

I’m sorry if today’s post is going to be a downer, apart from the fact that I have 2 assignments due tomorrow I also have other sad news… I got fired…again. Yes my internet friends, after finding another job at Meat Maiden I was politely “let go” today. Now you probably think that this is going to be a long angry rant about how I was all right and it was all their fault, well you’re wrong. I mean, I’m not happy that I was fired, but I see why they did it. Apparently I got some bad feedback from my first shift and on top of that this was their opening night, so if I had been working for a place that wasn’t new then I probably would have gotten away with it but because the place was just opening they couldn’t afford to gain poor reviews on customer service. So I couldn’t have been unreasonable and had a good yelling fest about how I didn’t even know what the role of runner (the role I was in on the night) was suppose to do other than give people food. Monday (opening night) was a messy progress, and it was partially my fault, and even then when I wanted to scream at them that I was just inexperienced I just kinda… stopped. I just asked if there was anyway I could keep my job and when my manager said no I told her that I understood where she was coming from, had a mini-cry, a rant about how difficult it was finding a job in the first place, all whilst she politely listened and told me it was okay. How could I get angry at someone like that?? 

The answer is I couldn’t, no matter how much my parents told me that I should have asked more questions, been ruder, been angrier. I’d been so disappointed in myself for receiving bad feedback that I just wanted to go home and have a little moment with myself. Which I am having now and did have when I got home, mum was asking a lot of questions, most of which I didn’t want to answer, I talked to some friends and… well… I am feeling better but that doesn’t lessen the sting of my pride.

Let me get something straight, I don’t have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, before uni and during highschool (apart from school work itself) I was married to my job(s) (I had more than one) or at least the idea of working. I was always the friend that worked the most, and even when my shifts lessened to once per week I was always adamant on finding one that would fit perfectly with my schedule. So when uni rolled around and I found myself in the city, I thought that this would be the chance for me to find a job out of fast-food and into a more sophisticated place. But then I was fired from the first job and now my second, and all of a sudden I find myself rather alone and empty. Which sounds stupid because it’s just a job and it’s such a small part of my life and maybe it’s time to give up on hospitality and start finding jobs that don’t require me to put away dishes. But I do feel alone, and most of all I feel like I’ve lost a part of me whenever I’m out of a job, that and I hate job hunting…

Anyways, I have assignments to complete.

So…. I know I haven’t undated in a week and I’m rather behind on my posts, but it’s just been such a hectic week so forgive me!
Apart from the sudden realisation that I had multiple assignments to complete before the Friday, I also had work training for my new job and so I was just so overwhelmed that… I didn’t get to blog.

Work training was reallyyy fun though, we did wine tasting, beer tasting, cocktail tasting and food tasting… Lots of tasting during my past weekend. The place is called Meat Maiden, you can go visit their website if you’d like, the food is super duper yummy :3

We also had the cinemas studies essay due that Friday as well, however I didn’t begin the essay until Thursday… night… at 11pm. I know, bad idea and it was but I managed to complete it at 4am that night before heading to bed and getting up early to get to work training. Don’t ask me how I did it and don’t ask me to do it again.

Anyways there isn’t much to write in this post because the main reason for it was to justify my absence from the internet this week. I’m sorry my fellow bloggers as I haven’t completed my Week 5 Symposium nor my notes for the lecture.

Mwah~

Calling all my asian buddies out there <3 <3 This video sums up my childhood so well… oddly enough I still enjoy half these snacks til this day!
