It is pleasent work. Three nights out of the week, I clean the floors at the local grocery store. Chris CunninghamThere is a guy named “Josh” who I am sure is Chris Cunningham. Josh has short hair but every other feature is identical. I am onto you Josh!

    The house is comming along well. The first few steps were demolision work and then small things that were not noticable but necessary. We have been taking photos of the progress. With the photos I will be creating a, part, slide show, part, video from begining to end. It may be a little funny but its main purpose will be to show friends and family the steps we took and the work we did to get the house looking the way it is (will be). It will be a fun project to help me relax when we finally finish working on the house. I cannot wait!

My employment at Hardee’s has ended. Never again will I choose employment in which I spend any amount of time in a grease sauna kitchen. Each night I came home I was forced to shower because if I didn’t: “Get those Hardee’s hands away from me!”, my wife would say. “You stink!”, everyone would say. Those days are no more! No more!

    As for my diet, eating vegan, I have started eating small portions of fish and other sea creatures. My mother-in-law and I started to become skeptical of the book we were reading, The China Study. She did a little research and found out that the authors of the book omitted data on the amount of sea food consumed my the Chinese.
    While the weight of the authors’ points have been greatly diminished by this, I still feel eating, mainly, vegetarian will reap enormous health benefits. I have already lost weight and started feeling better within the first week. Of course I did have a few relapses and decided to eat some meat. That was short lived thanks to my employment at Hardee’s.

Not for the aspect of protecting animals but for health reasons. Working there has actually stifled any urges to go back to eating meat. The smell of the meat all days gives me a stomach ache and headache. Seeing it go from frozen slabs to greasy, oil slabs has ever dispelled me of the cravings of a burger.
The 'Monster Burger' weighs in at, a little, over 2/3 lbs.
    This sounds a little outlandish. Let me explain. In order to get the loan for my house, my wife and I had to get jobs as soon as possible. Where we will soon be living is in a small town. There is not much employment available. Needless to say, I will be quiting soon.
    The reason I have started eating vegan, along with my wife and her parents is because we have all been reading this book called The China Study (more current post regarding the book) by Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Thomas M. Campbell II. It goes into detail on the authors’ findings from studying the effects of eating mainly animal proteins (anything with animal based ingredients) compaired to eating only plant proteins. There have been many other studies and tests done which compliment their findings which the book describes. Some of the other studies were done in the 1960′s and re-produced in the 1980′s (I think the 80′s) with the same results.
    The findings in these studies show that changing your diet from mainly animal proteins to plant proteins can reverse cancer and heart disease and prevent them. The results have been shown in rats and humans. It is very intriguing. If you are concerned about your health or just are interested in being healthy, this is definitely something you should read.

    Well, now I am off to help people clog their arteries with huge burgers that will kill you.
