So my last post was forever ago, and I can't believe I don't write on here more than I do considering I had a pretty nice following while I did my reporting from Warped Tour.  Anyway gang, I apologize sincerely for the lack of writing sessions lately, life has been a bit "demanding" and I'm trying to make sense of it all.

Today's post is about perspective.  Those who know me, know that my life is based around music and the pursuit of "infamy" and helping unknowns like myself, become stars.  Today I'd like to introduce you to Never Shout Never.  Hailing from Joplin, MO, this dude is a VERY talented artist in the making. 

But right now, he's much more than just a musician to me.  This kid opened my eyes to the world of animal produce.  My perspective of how that industry works has been turned over 100% now.  I knew the basics of it, and I assumed that there would be some sort of animal cruelty, but I never expected to see what I did on his myspace (myspace.com/nevershoutnever), and thanks to the video, I can safely say I will not leave my office at work right now, not until I'm done crying.

Seriously, I'm in tears.  I'm a huge animal person.  It's one thing to slaughter animals for food and such.  But the conditions of these creatures needs to be addressed by the nation.  I can't get over what I saw.  It literally has scarred me.  I wanted to go rescue them.  Watching little piglets and calfs, struggling to survive, milk cows that couldn't even walk off the delivery trucks...it hurt my heart to know that we as humans, "the smartest creatures on Earth," have stooped to such levels to treat these creatures like this. These creatures who are unable to defend themselves. 

Someone out there will make the comment, "they're just animals dude and they're going to die anyway.  Who cares what happens to them in the mean time?"  To the person who says that, I will simply reply with a giant FUCK YOU dude.  Animals have feelings.  They have emotions.  When you leave, your dog misses you.  When you come home, your dog is exuberant.

I'm not saying I'm going to become a vegetarian (again), but I will say that I will start investigating as to where my food came from now on.  I do not support animal cruelty.  If I could, I would gladly find the souless, heartless cowards that perform such acts to these animals, and pistol whip him / her.  See how they like being beaten. 

Speak up.  Go to the myspace page I mentioned, watch the video, and tell me what you were feeling as you watched it.  As people, we need to make things right in this world, one little mistake at a time.
