hey kids. sorry i haven't been in touch for awhile. i'm spending my summer at woodward camp in pennsylvania for the 8th (or 9th - i don't remember) straight summer. it's definitely not what i had planned to be doing but it's a welcome change from the depths of my thought-box aka my basement. tropical rain storms, crazy americans, manure-scented air, what could be better?
so i just realized something; americans, on the whole, are huge. i think there's a statistic that 85 percent of them or something of them are over-weight. and having a conversation and listening to their reasoning is incredible. the argument was that "we're getting our money's worth! if i can get more for less, than why wouldn't I?" true. i completely agree but at the same time, it's ridiculous. there's another side that people are missing. just because you are getting more, doesn't mean you need to consume the same amount per sitting. put it in a box. save it for later. anything! there's nothing saying you can't save the excess of your meal. there's no one watching and making sure you finish or meal in-house. this is what happens: you feel like a combo that equals a burger, fries, and drink. you go to say, mcdonalds, and they have a special - super size everything for the amount of the normal size. "i can get more for the same money!" so you get the super-size option but the problem lies in the comsumption. you're consuming MORE per sitting. i remember going to arbys i think it was with mike bennett and because he could get more sandwiches for slightly more money, he did. not cause he was that hungry but because he could get more out of his money. so being hungry for an arbys sandwich and drink turned into eating 5 times what he originally wanted. anyway, that's my theory. makes sense in my head. think about it.
oh, and yeah, mike bennett is over-weight. he's got a portable table he takes aorund with him. it's called his belly.
what else am i up to? not much. i should be making a few trips out to nyc to pimp my portfolio around but other than that, not much. i'll be sure to get back on the ball and enrich your lives with the happenings over here.
oh, and since there's a storm happening right now, lightening is gnarly! bolts of electricity, stirking down to earth from the sky. sounds like a futuristic weapon, huh?
ps - chris o'connor is awesome.
pss - check out tv on the radios new album. soo good. it's uploading on my iDisk now.
