10.16.11-10.18.11

This isn't working as planned. I should be used to that by now and bob and weave... roll with the punches if we're going to take the boxing metaphor all the way.

There are two prevalent issues:
1, I'm so bored with it. I read posts and think, poor fifty people who've checked this out. They must skip to another page thinking, "wow, that's fifteen seconds of my life I'm never getting back."

2, Some days I forget to post and other days I don't remember everything I've put in my mouth... that didn't sound right, but you get the idea. besides Sept. 17th, I've been perfecta at this.

How to make this more exciting?

Anecdotes and yummy vegan findings.

I'm used to the comments from fellow faculty members I've shared meals with.

"Oh, you're eating turf again." or
"How are you getting your protein?" with a creepy wink.
The answers range from,
"You know what makes turf taste good? Silence." to "Last time I checked I didn't ask for your opinion. Enjoy the products of murder." to "Spinach is suiting me well. Pedal your wares elsewhere."

The middle one, I actually don't say, which brings me to my next point (hang in there, there is one).
I was listening to the radio and there was a comic on talking about how his worst first date ever was with a vegan. He told her, "Stop crying and let me enjoy my burger".

Not funny for two reasons: 1, not all vegans care what everyone else eats. I make decisions for myself and unless someone is being super out there, I don't feel the need to impose my beliefs on them.
and 2, first date at a burger joint? Seriously? What are you, fifteen? Not saying he's cheap, but if some dude wants to impress any lady, taking her to a sh!tty burger joint or family restaurant and picking up the fifteen dollar check isn't going to cause swooning. It doesn't need to be expensive... Try something interesting. Something creative. Something that isn't what every other man in America who's trying to get into any woman's pants would do.

Sunday and Monday were rife with potato chips... Tuesday was back to pizza fritte... Two things I'm learning, how to lessen the amount of refined carbs and that food isn't going to help anything.
