I'm Going Vegetarian
I'm going to see if I can go vegetarian for a month. Why? Mostly to see if I can do it. I also feel like I eat way way too much meat and not enough vegetables. I want to see how I feel after a month of not eating meat. Who knows, maybe I'll feel great and decide to keep it going. Anyway, one month from today will be my brother Nate's rehearsal dinner. I'm not going to eat meat until then. Who thinks I can make it? (Priya, sorry for not discussing this with you first. I will still cook meat for you if you decide to not go with me on this journey.)

What? Why wasn't I consulted on this? This is the strangest most jarring thing I have ever heard. You giving up meat is like...well I'm not sure what the appropriate analogy is but it is like you giving up meat. I mean, this from the guy who I'm pretty sure has seriously considered forming a pork fan club and whose idea of an ideal vacation would be driving cross country to go bbq festival hopping. When we exchanged vows and I said I'd be with you in good times and in bad, I didn't know the bad times were going to involve becoming vegetarian...
I guess I'll try it out with you but it'll have to start tomorrow because I already had steak for lunch today. And, by the way, it was delicious. No promises I won't have abandoned this crazy foray by the end of the week though.
PS - I blame Marc's blog for this.
I don't mean to discourage you from a healthy change in diet. But I do suggest you try meat once a week or so at first. I spent a few months eating meat once or twice a week and it was probably the healthiest I've ever been. If you go a week with no meat and then eat a steak, you get high. It's like a combo of cocaine and steroids.
I agree with Priya, this is crazy. This would be like me giving up drinking. I think Jason's right about keeping some meat in your system. I heard that if vegetarian's try to eat meat they get really sick. You don't want to throw up or poop your pants at Nate's rehersal dinner. Also, I heard that vegetarian poop smells real bad.
More also, I've spent the last two months complaining about having to go to law school with a bunch of pussy-ass hippie vegetarians, and now you go and do this. What a dick.
Let me know how it goes Pete. I suspect I need to try something similar, but I'm not sure I have what it takes. I might be able to give the "only eating fish I harvest" tack a try. I actually had a dream about a fish market last night. Wierd. I think it was because I ate breakfast at a pierhouse restaurant yesterday with one of those fish identification place mats. I love those things. Good luck. And Priya, I'm only partially sorry if my blog had anything to do with this. I mean I want it to change lives . . . Just not yours, I understand your happiness is off limits to the effects of my blog.

Hartsong, why are you complaining about having to go to law school? You should be excited. There will probably be fewer dirty hippies at law school.
Marc, as long as you realize that my happiness is off-limits to your blog, I may eventually forgive you. But it probably won't be until after Nate's wedding.
