    fighting the system 101




    when dining at the lovely chipotle this evening, trying to eat the fabulous burrito while simultaneously trying to keep it from falling apart and onto the table...i came up with a brilliant plan. i asked for a spare tortilla (which was freeeee) and sneakily transfered half the filling into the new tortilla and made two modestly portioned burritos. they were easy to hold and eat. i was so happy. i now have a brand new burrito in my fridge for breakfast. i feel like i have accomplished something great. hahaha. just thought i would share this plan with the peoples! i shall now bid you adieu. 'til next time.

    a few thoughts.




    + i enjoy being happy, so why do i not decide to be happy always?


    + i think the entire human race sometimes forgets that we have all been given the most wonderful gift: the earth. i seriously think about the amazing miracle that happens every time a seed is planted and some fabulous vegetable/fruit/grain comes up. how great is that? i know that i take that for granted sometimes, but it is truly a miraculous thing.


    + i believe that music can heal the soul. it is AMAZING what happens when you are feeling down and all of the sudden, one of your favorite songs starts to play...wow. another miracle.


    + i am so grateful i live in a country with so many freedoms. i have only been able to glimpse at life without those freedoms, but even a glimpse is hard to deal with. i wish i could remember that always and realize how blessed i am. i am glad that i at least remember from time to time.


    + i guess my thoughts are along the lines of miracles and blessings. so whilst i am there, i will share with you one last thought. laughter. is a miracle. laughter transcends language. it can instantly improve any day or situation. also: i do NOT understand why mary poppins made everyone stop laughing in that scene with uncle albert. it frustrates me still to this day.


    the end.

    What Be Your Nerd Type?
    Your Result: Literature Nerd
     

    Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works.

    It's okay. I understand.

    real food.

    hello dearest peoples. this book, has changed my life. you better believe it. validating everything my mother taught me {growing up} about nutrition, expanding on ideals that i always held, teaching me more about the SIMPLE facts of food and nutrition and showing that there is hope for mankind to rethink their ways. if i could get people to read this book, the most IMPORTANT book regarding health/nutrition/food, that would be an amazing thing. in fact, i would so like everyone to read this, that if you do, i will make you dinner. yes. i am for REAL. i have read many a book about food/nutrition in my day and while offering a bit of truth and helpfulness, they were always a bit complicated and overboard. while reading this book, i have had so many "duh" moments that its not even funny. it really just makes sense. nothing to insane and "modern". yes, i will go as far as saying this is one of my top five "life changing" books ever. i am serious about the making dinner thing too...so let me know if you want to take my challenge. farewell.
