Sleep has brought me to this?

Long weekend so far.  Even with only a couple of shows to do and just a couple of days of work, this is a long weekend every year.  This year, I had to attend a party that I usually, often conveniently, miss. I suppose I have to admit to myself that I often find my mind desiring to avoid people rather than making plans for social events.  I mean, I do make plans to go to a show if friends are playing.  This is a rare thing, though.  In the past five years, I've been to only three shows that I can remember.  All three shows had my one friend's band.

And that's about as much as I cared to be out.  Ever since I quit the bar, I do little to nothing to get together with old friends.  This is okay with me most of the time.

Though I must admit that a friend of mine occasionally invites people to breakfast at a buffet.  I like to go there.  I seem to be a welcome addition to the group, though I often am offensive and probably crude.  (Okay, there's no probably about it)

Okay, well, no buffet this morning... but I'm hungry for eggs any way.  

Baking Beans...

Waiting for the spooky days to come and become the thing around me.  I was working on a monster years ago that now hangs unfinished in a closet and I'm thinking about finishing it.  And what else?  Maybe some pumpkins that are scary and creepy.  Until then... I have bananas that need to come inside...

You know, I have no idea how to care for these plants.  I bought them because it seemed like a cool idea.  and then I bought another one because the first hadn't died yet.  But then I found out that I was taking horrible care of the plants.  They evidently need massive amounts of nutrients to flourish.  So I brought them in and have begun their regimen of nutrient supplementing.

But for now, time to kick back, see if I can last just another 30 minutes without drinking and then I'm off to bed... or maybe I'll just have one little drink...?

And then there was beans...

So, in the interest of losing weight and and all that happy horse shit that goes along with being healthy, I was reading about what kinds of food are good to eat as opposed to those that are bad.  I mean, there's the obvious shit like bacon and chocolate that are supposed to be bad for you.  Of course, they now have chocolate covered bacon to be extra bad.

I suppose what it really boils down to is just avoid processed food and foods with loads of fat.  But man does that stuff taste good.  I mean, who doesn't love french fries!?  Everyone loves french fries!  of course, I have long felt that Americans will eat anything that's been fried.  Potatoes, onions, zucchini, corn, rice, meat, cheese, crickets, fruits, sugars, cicadas, peas, and peppers to name a few items Americans will eat when fried.  Hell, they even batter and fry Oreo's and Twinkies!

On the opposite side of things, I found that there are some interesting things that are good for you.  Oatmeal, with simple stuff like fruit and none of the fattening sugar and cream is really good for you.  And cannaloni beans are good for you too.  So I was wondering about making an oatmeal, cannaloni vegetarian chili... wonder what that shit would be like?

Of course, I would bet I could lose weight like nothing should I stop the drinking... but we know how that works, huh?

something interesting?

i think I actually gave myself a tummy ache eating candy.  How the fuck does that happen?  you know, I can remember a time when I could eat loads of sugary sweets and never even notice.  In fact, there was a point in my life where I used to scrounge change, go to the drug store and buy candy bars, 2 for 88 cents, and a soda.  I would get four candy bars, a soda, and then sit at the dis-used train track bridge and enjoy my snack before going home, or where ever.  I miss those days.

It's not enough that now a single candy bar most places costs at least a dollar and the cheapest coke is over a buck and a half, but now if I eat too much candy I get a tummy ache!  I must say that I am a bit displeased about this.

Adversely, I have found that I am able to drink a lot of booze in one evening and not feel as bad as a couple of handfuls of candy "bottle caps."
