Another happy work week down the drain; caught a low-grade stomach virus which kept me in bed and drinking mostly water on Wednesday and spent a few evenings helping out getting the haunted house ready for this upcoming week, monster rehersal begins this Tuesday and it's down to the wire getting everything ready. Need to finish the electric chair and putting the gate on the graveyard, there are plans to rig the upstairs bath with running bloody water but need to find a sump pump. Other than that my Halloween plans are getting a 12" seafood sub from Subway and watching the Dawn of the Dead DVD(hoping to get the unrated director's cut). What do you all plan to do on Halloween?
Setting up another counseling session this week, even though I've isolated my problems to a root source I still have some thoughts of insecurity and defeat. It's hard to stay motivated when you change your lifestyle; the body adapts to one routine and fights to keep it despite making changes for the better, getting up at 5AM and beating the crap out of myself for about 90 minutes isn't a motivating factor. I have to stay on the path, it's so easy to stray from it and be tempted by so many alluring vices.
While I was resting on Wednesday I watched a very influential movie on DVD called Super Size Me(I call it Fastfood 9/11)where the director went on a 30 day diet of eating nothing but super-sized meals from McDonalds three times a day, his weight increased 25 pounds along with a 8% body fat increase and suffered various problems like depression, lethargy, chest pains and some impotence. The movie also went on to discuss how Americans have become encased in a society of gluttony from fast/fried foods in school lunches to super-sized meals in most fast food places(there's even McDs in Wal-Marts and hospitals)as well as discussed the trend of those bullshit lawsuits against the fast food places. This movie wasn't endorsed by McDs(they wouldn't even talk to the movie director)and now you've all noticed that every fast food joint is including more healthy and small portioned meals along with access to nutrition values(Adult Happy Meals? Salads at Sonic? Mandarin oranges in Wendy's kid's meals?)and that super-sizing is being phased out, of course McDs claims their decisions weren't influenced by the movie but in part by the lawsuits and public demand. Why do you see every fast food coffee cup say "caution-contents are hot"? Some stupid old lady spills coffee and burns herself then sues McDs and gets one million dollar settlement, suing the evil conglomerate bastards is the way toward easy money in today's society.
Time to finish laundry and let out some stress on GTA3, love you all.
