Oh delicious downfall

23 07 2008

I am on my third cup of tea so far this morning, and I feel great.

I mean, I’m a little jittery (and man, do I have to use the washroom) but otherwise, I’m great!  If you, invisible-Mother-Nature-type who lurks in the back of my head and tries to force me to make healthy decisions, really want me to be healthy, you’re going to have to let me have my caffeine.

Actually, you better pass me that bag of tortilla chips, too.

Seriously, how do the health nuts of Vancouver do it?  How do they drink a few beers and not crave a giant plate of nachos with extra cheese?  Maybe they’re not drinking beer.  But I refuse to give that up either.  I will not compromise my inebriated happiness for six-pack abs!  Haha…give up one six-pack for another…Oh god, easy on the tea there, buddy.

There are those who claim exercise can become addictive, and that if you get in the habit, your body will crave it.  These people need a drink more than I do.





Land that I love, etc

One more thing — sometimes, being in the States is freakin’ GREAT. I mean, I’m currently crunching on a giant garlic dill pickle that came individually wrapped from a roadside stand, and you can buy Bud Light with the lime already added (I know, right?!) at Safeway…or a gas station, for that matter.

The flag-waving bit is my favourite, though.  It helps that I’m here right around the 4th of July.  Patriotic Snoopy boxers?  Sign me up!  A giant eagle-and-American-flag decal for the back window of my pickup truck?  Why not!

My cowboy father will never understand why this stuff makes me laugh.  I’m not un-American, Pops, I swear!  I just don’t feel the need to prove that with a “these colors don’t run” tattoo.
