45 minutes and a cup of tea.

So its been a while...not been a while since i've written a blog, rather, its been a while since i've slept for atleast 8 hours one night. Last night was no exception; I started working at 7:30, snuck out to Tim Hortons with an old friend at 8:00, came back at around 9:00, then worked my ass off till 6 in the morning. I woke up at 6:45 because I was hungry and wanted to go to breakfast. Good times. Seriously...there is nothing more satisfying in life than to finish all of your work ahead of time and have the rest of the day free. But this isn't what im going to talk about...my main topic for today is "Tea..."

One thing I learned from attending a private school is that there are many types of tea. Before I joined the school, I went to my friend's house and they asked me if I wanted something to drink. I said, "yes please, i'd like some tea". They're like "what kind?" I said "lipton?". I made a mistake.

I finally learned that Lipton isn't a type of tea, its a brandname. Kinda funny actually because i've been making that mistake all my life. But still, what the hell is "English Breakfast Tea"? Its ridiculous because I had some of it today and it tasted no different from my "lipton". Lipton's good. Double Double I call it because I use two sugars and two creams...its a good ratio...but sometimes you have to change it depending on the size of the tea bag...if the tea-bag is too big then a double double will make the tea-bad. haha. Honestly though, "Peppermint Tea"? that just sounds a little disguisting. there's this philosophy that I follow - its called "Keep it simple stupid." (computer science teacher's philosophy) and thats exactly what people have to do...why mess around with your body by experimenting different flavours of tea? Different flavours of icecream = okay. Different flavours of candy = okay. Different flavours of tea? not okay. Anyhow, this blog is going absolutely no where, so I think im going to get back to my studying. This blog must be used for educational purposes only.

Vegetables

There are some people in this world who sometimes just don't understand basic things...i agree calculus can be quite difficult at times, and even world issues like the oil prices rising can be confusing, but differentiating between a vegetarian and a non-vegetarian is quite the general knowledge that everyone should know.

So I was sitting at a coffee shop the other day, and was cherishing my latte, when one of my friends asked me about any dietary restrictions I may be involved with. I said yes, I have one main restriction...I am a vegetarian. This "friend" as he likes to call himself, then asked me if I ate fish.

No. I don't eat fish. Fish lives. It breathes through gills. I still consider it an animal even if it lives under water. No exception. I don't eat seafood. If you dip a chicken in water, is it now considered sea food? No. Then why the hell would a vegetarian consider fish a vegetable? Can you plant a seed and make it grow into a fish? I hope not.

It gets worse. Another one of my friends then asked me if I drank milk. Big Mistake.

I'm not lactose intolerant. I drink milk, in fact, four times a day. I like it in chocolate, and sometimes I even make it into a milkshake.

I love the fact that vegetarianism can become a competition. Right after I mentioned that I was in fact a vegetarian, my friend pointed out that another one of his friends was vegan.

A vegan is simply a guy who can't eat animals, or anything that comes from them. Basically, no milk, no eggs, no meat. Okay, thanks for telling me that your friend is a more intense synonym of what I am.

Haha I think im going to end this little rant here, hope you enjoyed it. I sure enjoyed writing it.
