Wednesday, November 30, 2011 ( 10:52 AM ) shut up christine from supun, regarding the occupy LA movement When asked to leave, a protester says only if the officer gives her a hug. The officer smiles. -ktla in other news i believe my stress is manifesting itself physically if you let me sleep, i'm sure i could sleep 20+ hours a day rest doesn't relieve it. i could sleep forever. and its hard to wake me up, as if i'm in a coma makoto says i'm like those fainting goats who fall over when they get stressed or startled i also get rashes rashes are interesting psychosomatic things. because you, and others, can see them. you can watch them grow and change. like a mood ring. so weird even if i pretend everything is okay - the rash gets bigger and itchier. it knows. right now i have a small patch on my arm when i failed that class, i had a huge one on my abdomen rahul once told me, if you master the mental seeds of the condition, you nullify or weaken the physical symptoms i don't know about "mastering" but i can try when the pain is approaching, try to stay awake and sit with it instead of sleeping to escape from it this has been an intense month for me its been a good thing # Monday, November 28, 2011 ( 8:39 AM ) shut up christine eek i have so much work to catch up on today stress level is at a 7 right now and yet....i still have time for this piece of awesomeness # Sunday, November 27, 2011 ( 3:41 PM ) shut up christine detox as i transition to a vegan diet --temporarily-- because i'm not sure i will maintain it after december.....and i'm okay with that. it's a big deal, ya know? it's one of those significant decisions that will require a lot of thought on my part anyway during this transition, it's like i can feel my little neurons attempting to shift as well. anytime i put an edible into my mouth (which is all the dang time) i pause first like, say a friend offers me an altoid why thank you don't mind if i do and right before i pop it into my mouth, an awareness pokes me in the ribs and screams WAIT!! did you check?! dammit there's gelatin in it and that's what goes on in my head all day long granted, i will not die if i have an altoid but there's a mindfulness and self-discipline with food that must be present, constantly which is a good thing, if you are like me and have been known to eat a stranger's spilt cheetos off the sidewalk it is mental, more than anything and while i'm on the subject of mental detox i am realizing that i kinda have low self-esteem : / it is crazy what i tell myself, or what i let myself believe, deep down my resolution is to develop more kindness for myself # Thursday, November 24, 2011 ( 9:28 AM ) shut up christine happy thanksgiving to you and your loved ones! and, i love this photo by david shankbone, via interactioninstitute.org/blog/ # Sunday, November 20, 2011 ( 11:16 AM ) shut up christine thoughts this week i witnessed a vaginal delivery of twins two healthy baby girls still eating a vegan diet in the movie gattaca, there's this part where ethan hawke takes uma thurman by the hand and they haul ass down an alley to get away from the detectives uma, gasping and clutching her chest because of her heart condition, says to ethan, "don't you understand I can't do that?" he says, "you just did." it's like that i want to share this video that kawani posted i liked her comment Please be mindful of what's in your food and where it comes from. Whether you're Omni, Veg or Vegan, Nourishment should not come from torture. consumers' voices had a huge impact in mcdonald's decision to cut this supplier.
