Eating is a top hobby of mine… as well as a great means of sustenance. This winter break, I’d love to continue to burn holes in my pocket for Urban Spoon and Yelp excursions after stumbling upon the holy grail of sandwich shops today on E Pike St. The Honey Hole and Loving Hut (poorly named and could be easily mistaken for female escort services) are two restaurants I’ve been wanting to try for there excellent reviews, reputation, and vegan/vegetarian menu. As I Yelped directions, I came across this gem of a review:
“I originally stumbled upon this eatery while searching the interwebs for a female escort. I’ve always found the better ones to be named after some sort of sweetener. Think about it, even The Rolling Stones sung about the joys of Brown Sugar.
Then the inner marketing guy in me saw the second part of the name & thought she must be pretty smart. Y’know, if you were looking for a tow truck, you’d breeze right past a company named “Acme” but if they said what they did and were named “Acme Towing” you’d give them your business. So when I saw HoneyHole, I knew I wanted to give her the business. Sweet & cavernous, what more could a boy want?
When I got there, I realized it was a sandwich shop. I figured I hiked all this way, I may as well eat something. I did. It was good.”
This review pretty much says it all. First you allow a little giggle room for its name. You eat. And it’s good. Damn good. Drew ordered a Gooch sandwich. He was afraid of its pronunciation, but it’s exactly what you think. As for me, I had a veggie dirt burger. I wonder what the Love Hut has to offer me.
SNL was especially funny to me last night, mainly because I wasn’t expecting much from Taylor Lautner. He proved me wrong.

Over the summer, my friend Jose asked me to go to a jazz show and although it was a few months in advance, I happily obliged. Well the show was tonight at the Jazz Alley and this was beyond the realm of music I am usually accustomed to, so naturally I was excited to experience something new. Little to my knowledge, the people we were about to see were jazz legends, the holy triumvirate if you will: Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, and Lenny White. Despite feeling like we were in a senior center/being the youngest people there, it was nothing short of spectacular! The atmosphere was amazing and so was the mediterranean hummus platter I had.
Disa and I thought of some contests today and this is just about as creative as we could get. Regardless, follow @DestinyWW today to win some prizes!
YES!! While all my friends were watching shitty TV shows along the likes of Jersey Shore, I was laughing over Rihanna and Shy Ronnie.
Just an old photo I found of Wanita and the Watson twins…NBD.
And the best hair award goes to my friend Chelsea. What a lush. I want.
Thank God my dudes Jimmy Eat World are coming out with a new album in 2010. Best news of the year!

I could make a playlist of songs that make me love/evaluate life. This is one of them.
Bring Back Love - Ace Enders and a Million Different People
go a day being a vegetarian or vegan.
that’s how i started, and look at me 6 years later now. it’s probably the best choice i’ve ever made.
a friend bet me that i couldnt go 3 weeks without meat. i’m the type that thrills off of a dare or bet so i, of course, accepted. i had no idea what vegetarians even ate besides like… boring salad & bread. it only took some googling on ‘easy vegetarian substitutes’ & ‘fast vegetarian meals’ & i was sold. i couldnt believe how easy it was, just to buy frozen faux meats and make them like you would regular ones. i had only been going strong without meat for 2 weeks and i noticed my body just THANKING me through feeling amazing & feeling awesome and i was like…yep. this is forever. then i found out 2 years ago i was lactose intolerant (since it can develop in anyone from the absence of dairy) and i had to alter my diet even more. i do miss cheese sometimes, but it’s seriously not hard, and you feel so much better every single day.
so just saying, why not try it? it’s one of the best choices i’ve ever made. and it’s not for a person, or an organization, or any reason besides the fact that meat is flesh, and to me, there’s not difference between the flesh on my body and the flesh on a little animal body. it’s still flesh, and that disgusts me. NOT to mention, what they pump (horomone wise) into the animals they’re killing to sell for meat… and those are going into YOUR BODY causing future weight gain, horomones (giving you girls mustaches haha, and also harming you guys, vise versa… seriously) causing fatigue, illnesses, colds, body odor, diseases, etc.
i say this all cause a have 4 people tell me just tonight that they’ve made the choice to go vegetarian/vegan randomly an they’ve never been more happy. even asking for thanksgiving recipe ideas! i’m planning mine as i type. mmmm …stoked!
:) so, good luck! and reblog if you want!
cheers,

Couldn’t have said it better myself. It’s been exactly 2 weeks since I’ve been a vegetarian and it’s been one of the easiest transitions of my life!
