Everything is a competition. Everything.
Of all the challenges I've imposed on myself throughout my life, one of the most satisfying ones was being a vegetarian for a semester during college. I had no political motivation. I didn't do it for the health benefits. I just wanted to see if I could.
I did, although I think I was technically a pescetarian because I remember eating fish with my vegetarian cousin over Thanksgiving. It actually wasn't that hard, if I have to be honest (and I don' t have to, but you caught me in a weak moment). All of the cafeterias had a big selection of cereal and I'm a fool for all cereals except Honey Smacks. That stuff is nasty.
Anyway, because my life is dark and empty right now, I want to relive a past glory and challenge myself again. This time, the competition will only last for the short (but could be shorter) month of February (damn you, leap year), but I'll do it right, without any seafood. Basically, I'll eat nothing that used to be consciously alive. Not sure if this includes eggs or not, but I'll probably refrain from them. I'm not sure if my enemy is meat or vegetables so the title card will either be:
Yen vs. Meat: Who Will Ignore Who Longer OR Yen vs. Vegetables: Eat or Be Eaten
So, let's get ready to rumble.
If all goes well and I don't cry too much, I might continue through March. I'm just kidding. This madness will end on March 1 with a beefy burger.
