The Hobo In Me

I look back on my fashion sense in high school, very much grunge influenced ... I mostly wore boy jeans that were holey and too big. Flannel. Big tee shirts. I have a couple old flannel shirts in my closet from back in the day and on rainy days, I reach for them, then push my hand away. No, Brandy, we don't wear that anymore.

These days I try to be a little less hobo and more granny chic. Just got myself some new Tina-Fey-Sarah-Palin bangs. Oh yeah, Bangs baby. I clip my hair up, all proper. I wear trousers (or are they slacks?) with my t-shirts; and jeans with my button shirts. Shirts with just a little twirl, always at the knee or so.

But ... I'm trying to eat better. I keep reading and learning more interesting things. Last night's health documentary was about vitamins. Evidently, upping your doses of C, E, and B's can pretty much fix everything that is wrong with no side effects (well, E gives me fishy burps if I eat it on an empty stomach).

Our uber stressful lives makes our bodies produce lots of adrenaline and cortisol. I'm not 100% sure, but I think too much of those chemicals would be bad, right? Vitamin C and E are needed to break those chemicals down. But we also need those vitamins for most every function of our body. SO. if we are all stressed and using up our Vitamin resources, is it any wonder why we get sick? And you do megadose Vitamin C when you are sick, right? I do. It seems to help.

I also watch a documentary on Ray Kurzweil. He has wacky ideas about eating. But he is a really smart guy. Takes over a HUNDRED supplements a day. Pops them like candy. So he can live long enough to upload his consciousness into a computer and live forever. It's a plan. 

I don't wanna have a stroke.

I'm getting to the point in my self education where the experts don't agree.

Some say eating fat doesn't matter. Some say it matters a lot.

I like canned sardines.

I always think of sardines as hobo food. I vaguely remember some old cartoon with a hobo opening up a can of sardines and the fish get up and dance around ... (not this one, but in this style of insanity).



Omega 3 is supposed to be good for your brains. Protein is necessary for muscle repair and growth.

But a lot of fat and sodium; they say that;s bad for the heart and stuff.

DO THEY EVEN KNOW ANYTHING??

Its not weird that I really like sardines from a can, is it?

Because I like oysters, too.
