Titans.

With my better half strutting her talent on stage tonight, I slummed out the late afternoon and evening with pizza, ale and some good old fashion Netflix and Amazon TV binging.

Tonight I finished the first season of Titans. Man, that is a dark series. This darker tone and grittier feel seemed a good way to ground it and now I want to find out where it goes so Netflix and DC please sighn off on a next series.

You raised them, schooled them, fed and cared for them and now they are on there own amongst the many others who would compete for their and the stories favor. A story which, in my humble opinion, is a bloody good one.

Hey. Let me tell you a story of why and how I become a vegetarian and why I had to stop because of my mental health problems.

Since I was a little kid I was never really big fan of a meat. My parents had to force me to eat it and I still eat only chicken meat. I am very grateful they did this as i got usual portion of nutrients a kid needs. I’m strongly against vegetarian or vegans parents pushing their believes on their children. Of course you can argue that it is the same what all of the other non-vegetarian parens do – pushing their meat-eating habits onto their children – but c’mon. As a parent you shouldn’t deprive your kid of anything there is that food industry offers. Is everyone’s own business but let them choose when they are old enough to understand the decision they’re …
