I, for the life of me do not understand HOW or WHY people eat Calamari! Do ya'll know that its SQUID!! Its like the cousin of an OCTOPUS! You know, that creepy tentacled sea creature that almost gobbled up Popeye aka Robin Williams in the big screen adapation of Popeye!? Or for you youngens that never saw Popeye, perhaps the image of Ursula - yes the evil Octopus queen in The Little Mermaid (above) paints a better picture! BTW-this entry is laced with sarcasm, so if you think I'm being a little "much" you are a. obviously a new Moxie reader...in that case, HELLO! or b. you have no sense of humor (again, sarcasm) or c. you might be a staunch Vegan and if that is the case...um, I don't eat venison because I think of Bambi - go Veggies! :-D
Alrighty then, so back to my point, I guess what I'm tryin to say is that I can't eat anything that in my brain, wasn't "pretty" alive. Vegetables included, although I used to be deathly afraid of artichokes until I had some yummo artichoke dip a few years ago and that quieted my ignorance with the QUICKNESS!! I know what you're thinking, chickens aren't the prettiest looking animals and some fish, including catfish are downright UGLY! But because I am a human being which means I am full of contradictions, I have no problem downing a delicious catfish sammich! YUM! And as far as chickens go, I have seen a chicken go from clucking to my plate within hours. This came courtesy my trip to Haiti several years ago. Was I hesitant to eat my de-feathered friend after I had fed it some bread a few hours ago? Yes. But was I hungry and more afraid of getting my pre-teen behind whooped by my auntie for not eating the dinner the hardworking cook conjured up...YES!
Finally, I love sushi but I REFUSE to eat Eel! EEEK! I mean those things are GA-ROSSSSSS! And if you remember, Ursula's evil-doers were eels! Hmmmmm...maybe that movie influenced my palate a little more than I realized!

speak up
Friday, June 4, 2010 at 1:57PM First things first, I am reluctantly ending the fitness challenge. :-/ The ankle injury REALLY messed up my little plan and my eating patterns definitely took a hit as well. I think folks eat better when they are working out...its like a subliminal thing or something. Anyhoo, me and a couple of folks are starting the master cleanse on Monday, so if any of ya'll wanna join - please do!
Ok, I had an entry all written up and ready to roll out last night but I had a conversation with someone...super important - the conversation and the person and it really put alot of things into perspective. But what it mainly did was reinforce how important it is to speak up and reminded me that my opinion is valid. It also reminded me that someone that really cares about you would never judge you and will be patient with you. Patience is SO important.
It was a rollercoaster week for me but thanks to that phone call, the week is ending on a fantastical note. And despite the funky lull I was in, I remained insanely optimistic. I knew the feeling wouldn't last forever...I absolutely wouldn't let it. The truth and the meaning of every test will reveal itself because like everything else in life, its only a matter of time.
*Disclaimer - I just want to make sure you all understand that I am eternally grateful for my life and the ABUNDANCE of blessings God has given me. So, while my current entry might sound super vague or like an excerpt from Debbie Downer's Diary, I assure you - I'll be alright. :-) I don't call myself Moxie for nothin'!
Oh and as you can see, I haven't been writing everyday. I'm trying to find a balance between writing and sharing thoughts with meaning and including ya'll in cool things I stumble across. But as usual, thank you for stopping by :-)
