Some Random Thoughts

I had a few random thoughts lately that I would like to share with you all.

First, we live in the most obese country on the planet. We live in excess. I thought about the millions of over weight people in this country as I was standing in line buying my morning 0 calorie, 0 sugar, 0 taste, soda replacement and the lady in front of me was buying an orange soda and a cinnamon roll for breakfast. Now I am the last person to judge people for being a little over weight, being that I have some extra pounds I could do without. But, if you are 100 pounds overweight or more and you are eating a cinnamon roll for breakfast, you really need to rethink your eating habits. I can completely understand the urge to eat food that actually tastes good. I have been watching my diet for a few months now and I miss just eating anything I want. I am a firm believer that if you eat right 70% of the time you can eat what you want the rest of the time. I just think so many people have given up on themselves and the thought that they will ever be in good shape again. Don’t give up, it is never to late to change your life. I am not sure what was more disturbing though, watching a 250 pound plus woman having an orange soda and a cinnamon roll for breakfast or the fact that she took the last cinnamon roll and I had to have a jelly donut.

Second, I found myself attracted to a woman this week. Not that this is strange, but it was a woman that I would normally not be attracted to. I don’t want to say why, but I have never been attracted to this kind of person. I think we are all attracted to a certain type of person whether they be tall, short, thin, stout, blonde, brunette etc... Although she was definitely not my type, I found myself thinking how interesting and beautiful this person was. Maybe I am expanding my horizons. Opening the field to new options. It could also just have been her. Time will tell I guess. Oh and for you weirdos out there, it was not the 250 pound woman eating the cinnamon roll for breakfast.

Third, I have been thinking about going to get a facial lately. I have never had one and I thought I would give it a try. I have been to a few spas with my ex, but I usually went for the massage and maybe the mud bath. She always got the body treatments. I have noticed that since I have gotten older, I tend to try and take care of my skin more. I switched to a new shampoo and conditioner (never knew shampoo was so expensive and yes I realize I have no hair), I have a special soap just to wash my face, I bought a scrub for my face I use twice a week (as instructed) and now I am thinking of getting a facial. That is right, I am a ghettosexual. If I move to the metro area, then I will become a metrosexual, but alas for now I will have to settle for being a ghettosexual. I have always been the type of guys who dresses well, buys nice clothes and has lots of shoes (dress mainly), but recently I have spent more and more money on grooming products. I guess we all do what we can to fight father time. Any of you had a facial? Did it make a difference? Let me know what your experience was like.

Lastly, I was thinking this week about my favorite music. If I was being sent into isolation, what three albums would I have to have with me. I came up with these.
U2 – Achtung Baby (not everyone’s favorite, but it is mine)
The Power Station – They only made one album.
George Howard – A Nice Place To Be
What would you choose. Fortunately, I wouldn’t have to choose as I own an iPod that holds about 10,000 songs. I would fill it up.

I also wanted to let all of you know that I am still reading your blogs, but I am not commenting much. As you can tell from my last few posts, I am suffering from a lack of inspiration. Not to mention that I am actually having to work for a living. Also the weather has been shite here lately, so no pictures of the new ride yet. I will post some as soon as the sun comes out.
