Tonight I work an overnight shift... I do enjoy my job, but I have to say tonight I am not feeling the whole "stay up til 8am" thang. Although, I have accomplished the all nighter many a time without getting paid for it. I guess it gives me some good time to research subjects I enjoy or am interested in. A few have been hot my list for conversations with friends.... "Food Inc" and "The Cove". Both great documentaries about the world around us. Food Inc is simply amazing. Such an eye opening documentary about how food is produced in the masses for the US. It literally makes me want to plant a garden this Spring (which I plan on seriously doing THIS year... I say that cuz I've said it for the past 3 years)... I feel having a green thumb is more of a generational thang that I haven't dived into yet. Decades upon decades of gardens, canning, and cellars full of "pickled" items in my family. Food Inc kind of makes me want to own my own personal chicken, cow, and pig! Haha, obviously that won't happen, but it certainly has motivated me to be more picky within my eating, where I purchase items from, ect ect ect. Basically what I'm trying to say is YOU SHOULD WATCH Food Inc :)
Now, The Cove is a whole separate bag... its about the mass murdering of Dolphins happening across seas. Another interesting documentary. Makes me want to watch more on these subjects and gives me a yearning to be a part of some kind of change. I've discussed this with friends via facebook and have been able to create a bit of a list of documentaries for more self and world awareness. Maybe this overnight won't be so long after all.
Well thats it for now. Don't knock it til you watch it.... and I'm also interested in what you people think about these subjects, esp after you give it a bit of your time.
Be well!
