I just set water to boil so that I may soon relish in the sweet sweet life nectar of mac-and-cheese. But I feel like laying down some thoughts real quick. Ahead of time, I'd like to apologize for what I suspect will be a rambling post. In fact, as I type these very letters its unclear in my mind just what I will fill the rest of this post with. I would go so far as to say it's rambling post already.

Radiohead - OK Computer. I'm 8 years late to the party, I know, but I've always been a bit of a late bloomer. That album continues to rock my socks, mismatched even as they so often are. Lately, I've found myself comfortable going without breakfast and even lunch. Couldn't do it everyday, or even more than once a week. Further, it's certainly not the healthiest thing to do, and there is little doubt that it keeps me from peak performance, but it can be a useful to know that I wont pass out on Day One should the food ever run out. Tom Robbins' Villa Incognito is blowing my mind. Its mildly insulting that one person could have that much talent. He's like the Martin Sexton of the written word, jumping around you with feats of artistry, entertaining you honestly, but somehow quietly mocking your ever so slightly inferior humanity. It bothers me some that when I sit here to write my mind jumps to the media that I've mostly recently been entertaining myself with. Who am I without my experiences? Who am I really? Though we've been here before in this blog, the question still lingers. Twilight driving, windows down, and music blaring is a hard thing to beat. It's pleasures subtle, but deeply rousing and building to chills if you're lucky. And sometimes I am.
Whew!

i have tried that too, the food thing i mean, def not healthy, and i didnt think anyone understand the need i had to know that i could survive extended periods of time on minimal food. It sounds bad, but it is an amazing comfort.
I can now say that should any event of any sort arise, i can go what i counted at 37 hours before i was reeeeally getting hungry. Up until then though, i was fine, probably not at peak ability, but enough to function correctly and think clearly.
I'm not sure why i do things like this, its not good to do things based purely on whims, especially if it is becoming the norm, instead of the exception.
Ok. Im done.
PeLoHa,
