5 Days In - the conundrum of choice

So a long time ago, there used to exist these places called video rental stores.  I remember walking around them with friends for too long, trying to pick out a movie to rent.  We'd narrow down the list to 2 or 3 and then pull the trigger on one of them.  We spent all this time looking for the right movie because we were indecisive and also because in those days, you watched the movie you rented.

It's different now with the existence of Netflix.  I can watch a movie and get bored with it and just change to another movie, and then another movie.  I'm watching a movie right now as I write this.  I have so many movies on "My List" but find that I have nothing to watch.  We are just swimming in choices these days.  We have so much choice.  Up here in Canada, we complain that our Netflix catalog is small but there are so many things I want to watch and will never be able to find the time.

Being vegan now is like I've lost the choice of what I can eat.  I feel like there are so many foods in the market/restaurants that are no longer for me.  They are not allowed.  It's strange... and yet I still have so many options.  I'm going to enter the world of infinity now.  It's like there's an infinite amount of options for food people can eat and yet there are so many foods I can't eat, but that still leaves me with an infinite variety of food I can eat.  K. I'm rambling.

I bought veggie chili, a roll and a couscous salad for lunch.

Peace out.
