So many choices
I woke up this morning, like every morning, trying to think of what I dreamt of. After that, I look in the mirror, like always, then take a hot shower. As I drift away from my dreaming, I then ask what do I want to do in my future. I have always thought of my future. It's not like I only look forward though. I am a realist. I guess that's just the way my mind works. I think to myself, "Should I leave the navy, go to college with all the money from the new G.I. Bill? Should I switch jobs to maybe Intelligence, or possibly Aerography? Or should I just get away from society and go live in an ecovillage, or backpack across the globe." After my shower, I start to get ready for workout, and then my mind drifts into another mode. Maybe tomorrow, I will make a decision.

New outlook on beef and dairy
Allright, here we go. This is my first post, so bear with me.
I've always heard the supposed benefits of cows in our society but lately have wondered why? It comes to find out that no other animal in the world eats or drinks another animal's dairy. This may have a part in so many people being lactose intolerant. We aren't meant to drink milk other than our mothers'. Aside from the nature side of this discussion, I have found some very interesting articles on what farmers do to cows to get the most milk possible. The living conditions are just horrendous. Here is what I was looking at.

Well, I think this is a good start. I hope you liked it.
