There were hints that this was coming. Believe it or not I, an Argentinean, am a vegetarian. It's only day five, but the need for meat has just disappeared like nothing. I feel fine, a little over exited by this change, but the overall feel makes me want this.

I happened to start it spontaneously, but it soon became a challenge and later on a resolution. There is a way of living without the need for meat. And yes, the ethics of such a change make you feel better mentally, even if you don't really do it out of pity for the poor animals. I'm not sure where I'm at the moment with the ethics and stuff, but it sure wasn't that that forced me into taking this step. I just felt sick of eating meat and forcing my mind to believe it's a need. It is not, and that I'm sure I'll be able to prove.

What took some days to decide was what were my policies with fish (or any other maritime beast). I'm not sure if eating fish allows you to bear the title of "veggie", but considering that I'm in the army and in two weeks back to full combat/physical service I thought it would be safe to keep that aspect of carnal lust. In other words, I'll still be eating fish as a complementary for meat (as it contains most of the positive stuff that can be found on meat) until I find some other way. My health means a lot to me. I have no plans of becoming anemic.

Another major change this week was the looks of my netbook. A friend of mine from my current course installed Mac Os X and got rid of Windows XP. So I said goodbye to Gates and welcomed Jobs. Very happy with that change too.

I also started learning some HTML and got hooked on trading options on Forex, which will become my next big project. Apart from other 3 or 4 projects that I'm trying to focus on, to be honest.

That is for now. Good Night.

There's a lot going on lately.

For some reason, I haven't been paying too much attention to things I should have payed attention to.

It starts with the Nativ course, a course in Judaism and zionistic identity designed for those who serve in the IDF but haven't been born in Israel, or those who are not recognized as Jewish - both of which are my cases. So I started this course, the people are awesome, the acommodations more than fair and the food a dream - in the IDF's standards, of course. There has been a change in my thinking towards the possibility of going through conversion. From my point of view, conversion was never an issue that I saw as needed - since I felt like a Jew. Over the last couple of weeks, I got interested in Judaism and attracted to the idea of conversion. It's not the feeling I'm pursuing, as I said, I feel just like any other Jew. I'm not pursuing the idea of getting married through orthodox Judaism, therefore the only option is civil marriage somewhere in Europe - fine for me. But what I found is that I do want to learn to keep certain traditions, fufill certain Jewish commandments and have something to pass on to my family in the future. I was never raised as a Jew, nor was my father, however it is important for me now that I live in this country. So that's a little bit of what's going on with this course. There are many lessons I will be posting soon that gave me another perspective on Judaism.

There has been another forgotten matter. A big project I should be working on with my stepfather which will soon be uncovered. All I can say is that it has to do with Israel and spreading Zionism. Ideas keep filtering in but it seems impossible. But I do enjoy the challenge.

More - although I think about it every day, writting. I keep getting ideas and more scenes into my mind but I really don't know where to start. I keep hesitating about getting a laptop for this task, but something really pushes me to try and write. We'll see.
