Sugar update and Comfest...

Well, I went about three days without any extra sugar in my diet, and it wasn't really all that bad. The one thing that sucked is that I realized I don't like tea very much without the sweet stuff. Then, on the fourth day, ComFest hit like a sugar-coated hurricane. IT...WAS...AWESOME! I drank 4 large sweet Iced Teas, had gyros, brats, pizza, got STELLAR buttons from mrpickles.com (Check it out, I highly recommend), and saw some really good local music (Which you can read about at thabombshelter.com [an aside, I plug his site a lot...]). By the way, the Cubs won today, beating the White Sox 2-1 in only their 8th one-run victory of the season (8-15) to "improve" to 34-39 on the season. We're (fingers crossed) starting to put it together...

In America, First you get the sugar...

Here we go, back in the saddle again...5 days, no sugar. This is gonna suck it dry...
Sugar, delicious sweet tasty goodness. I love it. It's probably my mostest favoritest thing in the whole wide world...well, that and sweet sweet lovin'...And I'm gonna give it up (the sugar, not the lovin'). It feels good to start this up again. I wish I could be regular like my friends over at thabombshelter, but I'm not, so SUCKS TO YOUR ASS-MAR!

Rules:
1. No adding sugar of any kind.

2. No artificial sweeteners of any kind.

3. No buying anything (tea, etc...) that is "Sweetened." (That's the part that's gonna suck, for those of you keeping score at home...)

Exceptions:
1. We live in a world where EVERYTHING has some form of processed sugar in it. I can't help that. I guess I should say sugar PACKETS, but I don't think any of my readers are rotten whores enough to get that picky...(a small aside. The picture of the sugar packets I got above is from a sugar packet collector website. If you collect sugar packets, start an aspirin collection, get to about 1000 of them, and take them all at once...because you suck.)

2. If it's in the fridge and has sugar in it, I'm gonna drink it.

3. All bets are off at ComFest. If you don't know what ComFest is, you'd better ax summbuddy...

It's time to kick the tires and light the fires again, bitches!




Prepare to have your mind BLOWN...

Well, that was a bust...

The scooter-scoping sucked. There weren't even any at the scooter store we went to. The salesman told us that "(they) have a tough time holding on to them, because campus just eats them up." I told him I had something he could eat up...dangling between my legs. The Cubs got shelled today 11-3. I still hold out hope for a Billy Beane A's-like second half, with a winning percentage in the .700's. That'd be pretty sweet. Hope, after all, springs eternal, especially in the Comedy Central. 85 wins could take the division.

I know I haven't been giving anything up lately, I've had other fish to fry. It will start up again soon enough, so I hope I've hooked enough of you to keep it worthwile...

I'm sticking with sugar, but I'm gonna give it up for a week...

So I was reading on da intrawebs about artificial sweeteners, and I'm using sugar from now on...Did you know that Splenda (sucralose) was never tested on humans before release to the public? Or that it's chemical composition is much closer to DDT than sugar? Or that the Hydrogen atoms removed from the sugar molecule were replaced with chlorine? OR that it causes the thymus glands to shrink (weakening the immune system GREATLY) and the livers to increase in size and fat content in rats? Saccharin causes cancer (faster than you might imagine), Aspartame (Diet Pops) causes MS-like symptoms, memory loss, seizures, and irritability, Splenda causes 'roid-like rages in some people, sugar causes cancer and Christ knows what else...You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. More to follow, I gotta go scope some scooters white devils...

Two things...

One...The Cubs won! Hell mothafuckin' yeah!

Two...Slap Shot is at once one of the best and worst movies I've ever seen. It's so odd, I can't even explain it. I HIGHLY recommend it. More on this later...

Before There Was...

The Cubs, I was a happy man. But alas, I have chained my cart to the most inept bunch of horses in professional sports. I have often thought of giving up. Bases loaded, nobody out, and they can't get anyone home...twice...in a week...both in the 8th inning. I don't want to say I could do a better job, but sweet baby jesus, pay me $500,000 a year to bat in JUST THOSE SITUATIONS and I bet I could get someone home. For that money, I'll lean into a pitch, crouch so I have a smaller strike zone, punch an opposing pitcher in the testicles, whatever will help. I'm just a team player like that...plus I'd love to punch a pitcher or two in the yambag. Here we go again, first pitch is at 8:05, I'll be crying myself to sleep by 11:00...

I came to a realization today...

I made a mistake by limiting myself with this blog! I want to be able to slam out a "whatever I feel like" blog. SOOOO...that's what I'll be doing from now on. I'll still be taking a convenience out of my life and writing about it, but for those of you who have never done it, I can tell you that you burn out QUICKLY doing that every week with no rest.

I want to keep this alive, and I'd like to know that people are reading what I write, so I implore you, my dear readers, to leave a comment!
