This is successful Day #10 of Vegan eating lifestyle. I doubt anyone reading my journal is counting the days, but I am. According to the writers of “Skinny Bitch” - if I can get through the first 28 days of this without going out of my mind, then I can do this easily for the rest of my life. So I’m giving it my best shot, which I WANT to do and WILL DO.

The only thing that SUCKS ASS about this new way of eating is that I’ve now gained 7 pounds (in just 10 days!!!!). NOT COOL. My total body fat percentage went up 2%. (Up two WHOLE percentage points in just 10 days!) My water weight is the same. I’m frustrated that I’ve no longer lost 100 pounds, and I’m back in the 90s. I called Jenny Craig today to schedule a consultation so they can help me figure out the proper amount of starches, fats, “meats” (substitutes), etc. so that I can create my OWN menu and still continue losing the weight.

I never really took it into consideration that I had been on JC for so long, that I took for granted how wonderful the perfectly-portioned plans had become. Now that I’m making my own portions, I have a feeling I’m not eating the right amounts of this healthy food (even though it appears right to me). I’m not afraid to ask for help when it comes to this. I’m humble enough to admit that I need guidance when it comes to the weight thing. It is helpful that I’m a hypnotist and have controlled the way I eat and exercise for over a year, however now that my eating lifestyle has dramatically changed (literally, overnight) I can use all the assistance I can get to push me back on track.

Holidays
Slave maurice is coming to stay with me from Dec. 21st until Jan. 3rd. We’ll be spending Christmas and New Years holidays together, which will be nice. We’ll take a road trip to Times Square in NYC to watch the ball go down for New Years Eve. We’ll probably get a hotel and stay overnight and then drive back home. If any of you will be in NYC for New Years Eve/New Years Day, perhaps we can hook up or hang out and party or something. I watched the ball go down January 1998 which was the year I graduated high school as a senior. This year, 2008 is my ten year class reunion, so this is a very special time for me to revisit Times Square and watch the ball go down as I make my personal goals for the NEXT ten years. This is a very sentimental date for me (new years eve) and I can remember where I was *every year* for New Years. This year, I have to head back to NYC.

A potential live-in male slave (for now, I’ll refer to him simply as “slave” since I haven’t decided to accept him into my household yet. When or if I do, I’ll name him appropriately), may come to visit me sometime in December as well. So it looks like I may have two male slaves overlapping near the same time, which suits me just fine. The more slaves to worship me, the merrier. This slave has started a journal, which he really didn’t want to do, but I commanded him to so I could see how obedient he could be. The first few days, I was lenient and considered it a request. But Dec. 5th was when I made daily journal-writing a command. For every day he misses (starting Dec. 5), he accumulates ten cane strikes. So far he’s earned 20 strokes of the cane. Either he will really enjoy a lot of pain or else he’s just being disrespectful. You tell me. His journal is here: . Keep an eye out, will ya?

Niteflirt
I’m confused. I could be wrong, but I assume the MORE customers who vouch for a flirt’s work, the more new clients she’ll reel in to her. That being said, I spontaneously decided to read other flirts’ feedback on Niteflirt only to discover that some of them pride themselves on just having one or two “main customers” who write all their feedback. I’m confused how that could be a good thing for anyone. Wouldn’t it be MORE profitable to have hundreds or thousands of devotees or worshippers than just one or two? I’m so grateful that thousands of little fish have vouched for me, instead of depending on one or two whales. I really, truly am honored. Thank you all for your support and for your honest feedback about my work. In the past, I had one very loyal client who would generously write tons of feedback for me every week after our calls (as a sign of devotion), but it hurt my sales because he wrote so much feedback that other clients felt non-existent. It became obvious to other clients that I had a “favorite” and even worse, new clients had no credible way to vouch for me other than by hearing 70 versions of ONE PERSON’S opinion. Eventually, I politely asked him to stop leaving me feedback (even though he spent thousands of dollars a week on me) and my profits began to improve. If I’m doing this all wrong and need to bribe people to “pad” my feedback by hypnotizing them, by all means - tell me! Is it better to have one person really really LOVE a person and they talk about them all the time — or is it better to have a thousand people who claim to LOVE a person and they talk about them sometimes? I suppose both can be good in different situations.

Politics
If you don’t want to hear my opinion on politics, skip this part.

I’m torn between two candidates. I won’t say which ones, cause the point is irrelevant. The problem is I want to know which of the two candidates sees animal cruelty as a serious problem. I’ve found many references to human rights, but very little in relation to animal rights. There is little to no information on these candidates regarding this, which bothers me. It seems that the topic of animal rights is never even on the agenda of topics to speak about. That sucks, considering the Dept. of Agriculture oversees a food industry that profits billions of dollars a year. Hell yeah we should be talking about it. I hate that candidates have completely ignored this topic within their debates. It upsets me and I don’t like to be upset. How can people in leadership positions not care about the hardcore killing and torture of animals in OUR OWN COUNTRY?

We always hear about the horrible treatment of people and animals in China (don’t get me started), but we have yet to fix our own problems here. We claim to be the land of opportunity and yet we are our own villains. China horribly tortures Falun Gong practitioners inside “six ten” offices by doing unspeakable torturous acts to them covered up by “unexplained disappearances”. Yet we do it ourselves: look at Guantanamo Bay and it’s disgusting human rights violations. We don’t call them prisoners. We call them detainees so we can get away with torturing them for years without a trial (even if just religious rights abuses and degradation).

We point fingers at China for mistreating their foxes because they skin the animals (alive!) and hang them upside down while bludgeoning them to death (Watch this sick video)… and practically EVERYTHING we have is imported from China, so we support their methods of torture every time we buy something from them. Here in America, the government supports the idea that foxes can be in tiny cages where they literally go insane turning them stir-crazy, are fed other foxes (cannablism), spend sometimes 5 weeks without water, and then we electrocute them up their anus (sometimes more than once) until they die. And this video is somehow MORE humane? And our government SUPPORTS THIS! *blink*

I’m sickened. Absolutely sickened by our country’s hypocrisy.

P.S. Fifty Cent is my hero. He has a strip club and a Playboy-style pool grotto in his mansion. When I make that kind of money, my house will have them too. A strip club! At home! Not just a strip pole, but a WHOLE CLUB! Imagine this: You wake up, eat breakfast, and think to yourself, “I’m bored. Hmm do I want to watch tv? No I think I’ll go in the strip club room and see all my groupies who are here almost every night.” Oh yeah… that’s the life.
