let me explain why i ate fish today

for the past couple months i have been in the mood for fish. I havent ate any fish, chicken, cow or anything for over 2 years. lately i have been doing alot of gardening and in the process i accidentally kill worms and these big weird looking bugs. i think about that alot when gardening. then i started thinking about how every time i take step on the dirt im killing all kinds of organisms. in some sense i feel like i am absolutely no better then a fish, or a worm, or any kind of microorganism. therefore i decided i would eat fish tonight and see how it made my body feel. Before i started eating the fish i said thanks and all that. I wasnt just stuffing my face ya know. Respect. I didn't feel like i was doing something wrong. I ate slowly and gratefully.
The restaurant we went to was a favorite of howard and juilias. they said it was some of the best fish around. they told me how the restauant was family owned and the fish were caught in the ocean and not farm raised, and the quility was as good as it can get. When we got to the restaurant the waiter was really nice, he shook our hands and took good care of us. for desert i had some sweet cake that was made with alot of eggs and sugar. delicous. then we drank complimentay "fire water" which was some kind of liquor. vey very strong
ill try to get some pics of the event soon
