email to my mom

This started out as a simple reply to my mother but turned into a deep thoughtflow, sparked by this new fire that has started burning inside of me recently:

Hello muddah,

I am currently rained/snowed out in Tahoe, probably through thursday and will get paid that whole time. I will let you know of an address to send the raquet to as soon as I know my next destination. I guess I could use a pair of socks, but I do not need any food items as it is already hard enough to spend the 40 I get for food everyday. The only two things you need to know about losing weight is diet and exercise...calories out equals calories in, the more you exercise, the more you eat...and veggies veggies veggies and more veggies...radishes and beets and carrots and cabbage as much as possible, and stay away from the bloody sugar!! Sugar is no good, just use a bit of agave if you need a sweet fix, also raw sunflower pumpkin seeds (unsalted) are very healthy and a good filling snack...and do not eat too much bread, and do not get bread that is made with enriched or bleached flour...it pays off in health to spend a few extra bucks buying organic and local produce...especially supporting local farms is important...the union square farmers market on wednesdays and saturdays (?) is a good spot to pick things up...i have been finding out incredible things about supermarket produce that travels thousands of miles in a truck after being genetically modified, sprayed with pesticides, and being radiated...all these factors deplete actual nutrition, so what you are paying for in local organic produce is nutritional value...it will make you feel better and live longer...also kale, start buying organic kale and eating salads with radishes and sunflower/pumpkin seeds, kale is a master green. I will be a nutritionist (mostly self taught) someday, but this is what I know now, it is so so so so so so important to not support mass produced commercial farming, especially the meat, do not get me started on factory farmed meat, it is pure shit. Does NHP even have a community garden? is it even a community? That is why I want yanni and you to move to New Zealand or Australia, where community still exists and neighbors know and help eachother, I cannot stress that fact enough. Once this job is over I will invest most of my money and with the remainder I am becoming a Greek citizen and getting the hell away from the United States, land of the free my ass...no healthcare and taxes are only going up up up up and I think my $75 jay walking ticket was the straw that broke the camel's back...laws should protect us against immorality and violence, they should not be a way to make money, and most of this money only goes towards the war effort, building weapons military bases and training poor young Americans how to become killing machines, this is the sad truth. Allen Ginsberg wrote "smart went crazy" in one of his poems. Well, I am not going crazy but I am educating myself with priceless knowledge that I was never given in a structured school setting, and this knowledge is my empowerment and it feels like my eyes are opening to a whole new world which is more beautiful than I imagined but, at the same time, money and consumerism and a society based on endless consumption on a planet with finite resources is the thick thick wool being pulled over the eyes of a beautiful human race with endless potential. I now know it is my duty as a conscious human being to use my knowledge to show people the real meaning of life, which is in simple happiness, which is so easily attainable once you shove aside all the bullshit that we are supposed to accept as being reality. I have finally figured out why I do what I do and live unconventionally, and simply, and most importantly, happily! My happiness is worth way more than any paycheck could give me. You have obviously played a huge role in me turning out like this, so thank you for making me me, and letting me be me and do my thing, I am so excited to reap the benefits of this beautiful life now that I have a clear vision of what I must do and how to live simply and be happy. Hopefully they fly me home in a few weeks so we can all celebrate! I am done with my rant now, so have a wonderful day and thanks for getting the tennis raquet strung up, I think it is so funny that my friends are all playing tennis now, we must be maturing hey?

Love you as much as you love me,
C
