From Bill Simmons, a writer for ESPN:
"Q: So I'm in the grocery store the other night buying ramen noodles 'cause that's literally the only thing I can afford to eat. Right after I had put the fourth huge case into my cart, a really cute girl approaches me and says, "Wow, that's a lot of ramen." For whatever reason, my immediate response is, "Yeah, I'm buying it for a local food drive for the homeless." Wouldn't you know it, but the girl finds this extremely sexy for some reason, and we continue to talk for a few minutes. Eventually, I ask her out, and we decide she will come to my place for dinner and a movie later on this week. What in the hell am I supposed to do? I have no money and a kitchen full of ramen noodles that are supposed to be for some mysterious food drive. Your thoughts? -- Shane, Baltimore"
<-- Best book ever. Simple as that. It's everything you want in a book. It makes you laugh, cry, angry, cheer, and non-stop it tugs on your heartstrings hard.
Means I have Strep. Cool. Saw the doc today, 2 more days of the antibiotics to go, some steroids to help clear up my swelling in my throat so I can breatheee, and I should be good to go. My mom says the steroids will make me fat, thanks mom.
Mundane Mondays.
SOTD: You know those little pleasures in life? One of my favorites is ordering something that's fried and getting a little somethin' extra. You know, ordering regular fries and having a few curly fries being tossed in, or getting the onion rings and getting some cheese sticks too? Why is my life with food such uncomplicated bliss?
Reviving my blog. Frankenstein style. Rise my child!
Tonsilloliths. Yeah. Don't Wikipedia it, I promise you it's pretty gross. Like H2S gross (Hydrogen Sulfide). But it's what I've got goin' on as well as the cold because all the cool kids are doing it. Note to self: No dairy for a month. Who needs it anyways, I'm 22 and I ain't growin' no mo anyhow. Except horizontally \:
Subtlety of the day [SOTD]: I thought I'd create a cool little thing that I'll add some fun facts everyday. So here we go.
SOTD: The song I Made It (Cash Money Heroes) by Kevin Rudolf f. Birdman, Jay Sean, & Lil' Wayne has a tricky chorus. I couldn't distinguish that the chorus is sung by two people not one. Video below:
Then you'll notice that the first line of the chorus is sung by Kevin Rudolf then the second line is sung by Jay Sean. Madness, they sound almost the same.
Captain Obvious: the song incorporates a song lyric/title from each of the performer's hit songs, and the video has some "home footage." It's like a victory mixtape that your parents make of your football plays or something to give to you for your wedding. Yeah.
It's too easy on the weekend to be overwhelmed...by nothing. Fuck.
All week I work my 40 hour week, 8-5 or 7-4, and soon 6-3. Then the weekend? I sit on my butt, and plop in front of the computer. No more cable means more Hulu and Surfthechannel for sure. But after watching that, it's just wasting time. While shit sits on the floor. Tomorrow morning, I'll be productive. Til then, good night.
