Game Winners and Why You Should Always Want To Take The Shot by Kenny Eller
“You can’t be great without some sort of risk.” Kenny is a good friend of mine. Also, he’s very smart.

Read it. :) Also, you must read the first few comments when you’re done with the article. ;)
7 Things That Suck About Being Vegetarian by Matt Frazier
I pretty much don’t agree with any of these. :) If you’ve read my Stress Free Vegan Travel article and other stuff I’ve written you know that. I especially don’t get the loss in joy of cooking. Veganism has made me absolutely love making my own food. In the beginning I would make elaborate meals from recipes (Veganomican is a great cook book), but now my diet is very simple and oh so tasty. I thought about writing a 7 Things That Rule About Being Vegan response article, but this will have to do instead.

When I was in Thailand we, unfortunately, were not able to meet up. But 4 months later here’s an interview! :)
So that’s it for this week. I leave Poland in a month and I don’t know what to do with myself. Wroclaw is a fantastic city and I hope the Hilton and all the other modern things being built here don’t ruin it. Why am I still talking …
