Yup I think I'm getting into the "should I stop doing this" frame of mind.
But regardless of that, I'm still gonna write something now.
I'm half watching Conan. This man is a genius. I've always thought he was incredible but after he did the kids show and had a sick exotic bird parade, he completely won me.
That's what you need to do to earn my respect. Throw a sick exotic bird parade or something. That's just really really really awesome.
Other thoughts of the day? I obeyed this dream I had (in which I ordered a quarter pounder and chicken nuggets from mcdonalds) by getting a quarter pounder. I feel like my dream was a really sick advertising scheme by McDonalds. Holy shit that would be a cool book idea. Like companies tapping into your dreams and dreams just being this grand scheme to get you to do certain things. Okay, maybe not. I don't know how that would really work. But don't take my goddamn idea! haha.
Oh and maybe it's weird that I've talked about food a number of times on here. Speaking of it tho, I had to write an article about a lobster-eating contest today. Now, eating contests.
Eating, that's like a natural function kinda, right? Everyone eats. But to enter a contest for who can eat the most in the fastest time. Isn't that just weird? COMPLETELY weird. I mean I know it's a pretty popular thing. But think about the concept. Just break it down in your head. Food has become such an art, but really it's just our way of surviving. If it were a really long time ago, we'd be salvaging what we could. Now we're just like, eat as much food as you can because it shows off your chewing and swallowing skills. CHEWING AND SWALLOWING! Like, since when are those competitive skills? You do it because you have to in order to live. If we stretch it a bit further, you do it so you can have two sensations: taste and hunger satisfaction. I just think it's so weird!!!!!!!!!!!
But then again you can think to yourself, different senses, different methods of pleasing them. Like you decorate your bedroom in a certain way to please your eyes (or completely bug them out like i do). You put on certain music to please your ears. You use a certain shampoo because you like its scent. You wear a certain coat because you like the way it feels.
Someone has to create those curtains. Someone creates the music. Someone creates the shampoo. Someone creates the coat. So then logically, someone creates the food. And they want to do the best job they can to attract business, and the way to attract people is to appeal to their sense of taste.
This world is just so weird. Now that I've ranted about food for quite the while, I'm gonna hit the sack.
Anyone hungry?

...surrender to the waiting worlds that lap against our side
