Mind Nuggets

So, I was going through my Google Reader and began to feel guilty about my lack of recent posts. So here's one for your reading pleasure...

It seems like people have themes for their blogs, such as family, art, "my crazy life," writing or whatever... and I'm perfectly aware that for better or worse mine would probably fall into those categories (art being anything about what Em is up to, she can't help it, an artist is what she is.) I think I like to think of myself as a deep thinker, but to be honest, I really don't like sharing those thoughts too much. I like to think about how things fit together (sure the people in the Book of Mormon came over in boats but who's to say people didn't cross a land bridge too,) Politics (rolling my eyes until next week,) and more recently, how would I say that in french or even silently sounding out long french words I just learned in class while watching ESPN during lunch or on the Metro ride home. These are just a couple things. An odd thing though, I'm not much for sharing what's on my mind.

Ask anyone who has tried to talk to me on the phone, I'm not much of a talker, and sometimes I'm afraid that I may give the impression that all I think about is soccer, WoW and, "I'm really enjoying this semester." What's even worse is that I have a habit of steering conversations toward what I want, sometimes to the point of ignoring the other person (but let's just face it, I am that interesting.)

I suppose this brings my back to the blog. There's things that I think would be great to write about, but I feel I'd either alienate people or... even worse... be boring to read. I think it's a combination of the two that sometimes leads to my lack of blogginess. I suppose I could do more lists and stuff, but to be honest I like reading them but despise doing them.

I also feel bad when I don't put in pictures or links, because, let's be honest, that's kinda what we hope for when checking out the blogs of others.

I just read over the blog and decided it was rather melancholy. I suppose it's needed from time to time. And who doesn't feel the slightest bit melancholy when their at work at 1 in the morning.

I want to end on a happy note, because that's essentially where I'm at in life...
So here's my favorite comic sites:
Red Meat
Get Fuzzy
Foxtrot (but only on Sundays)
Ding! (it's a WoW one)
DM of the Rings (What if LoTR was an RPG... oh wait... it is)

Jenny Craig and other Evil things

What's with health food? Can't it just stick to being health food and not try and convice us that is tastes good too? I've always been under the impression that eating deserts and the like were supposed to be bad for you, hence the not eating them too much. But when health food tries to be desert/tasty doesn't it become the enemy as well?

Health food isn't good for you so much so that it tastes so bad that you only eat a little bit of it before your gag reflex says, "NO MORE!" You eat less food which means, you lose weight. Pretty easy to understand. Now, I know what you're thinking, "But health food deserts taste like crap too!"

Does it? Does it, really?

Drinking Diet Coke doesn't help you lose weight cuz it tastes better than Coke, which means you drink more which equals biggness. Diet Pepsi tastes like crap... like Diet food should. By this reasoning we can see that Coke is evil.

Jenny Craig for a while was supported by Kirsti Allie... need I say more.

Right before Princess Diana died, Sarah Ferguson said that losing weight was, "Harder than avoiding the paparazzi!" Hence, Weight Watchers and British royalty are evil.

Wait... I've gotten off track here... OH YEAH! Health food deserts (and in general) are slowly becoming tolerable, as this continues people will want to eat more of it. I think this is a plot by Al Qeada (I think its misspelled... I don't care) in order to destroy american self-esteem. If you're eating health food, but gaining weight, wouldn't that crush you?!?!

So, I say the patriotic thing is to put down your artifical sweeteners and margarine. Give your 3 year old sticks of butter to snack on! Drench your corn flakes in sugar! Put down that Diet Coke and pick up a Pepsi! Remember Satan is a master of lies! If it tastes good, it's not healthy! Go back to rice cakes and water if you must lose weight!

Don't let them win!!!!
