The Gouts

It’s impossible for me to have any remnants of a normal life. Anytime I just live-- nature’s slap greets me like an ice cold shower at 2 a.m. Right now its 5 a.m. The pressure on my big left toe joint is beginning to takes its toll. That’s what I get for drinking as much as I did this weekend. I look around this messy room and I realize this is nature’s way of saying…”get the fuck in gear.” I need to approach a more vegetarian diet. I hate Bally’s but I must go do that damn meat market and just get a workout routing going. My mouth and eyes were happy to be eating at Johnny Rockets yesterday but my gout says no. Not gut my gout. (I love how at J.R. all the waiters/waitresses dance.) I’m being punished by the magical force of bliss for not sticking to my gruelish full time school accompanied with a full time work load schedule. I haven’t been reading my guitar music but I have been writing everyday. I must fight the evil spirit of chaos and drink the tart cherry juice filled with folic acid to combat the uric acid (“I’m such a uric acid whore”-The Gouts)…it’s time to start my regiment. Dash nabit it’s time to start. Have a gout free day…until tomorrow.

I think your toe is in rebellion from subjecting it to shopping. Shopping = evil. Drinking = risky, but not so evil. Eating small children = not very tasty.

Case in point, only because you brought up the whole veggie thang.

Today at work they were doing a blood drive. I donated for the first time in years (previous trips to Mexico had disqualified me on account of malaria risk).

My pulse, blood pressure, and percentage of red blood cells were pretty amazing. The screener wondered whether I exercised a lot or ate lots of veggies. When I explained that I take walks during lunch and was a vegetarian, he raised his eyebrows and said: "it shows."

If you study the history of blood, and you know who you are, silly vamps, you'll find that the people of central America were initially very desirable donors. This was due to their diet of beans and rice. This combination of protein, fiber, and starch makes for a very hemoglobin-rich, healthy plasma. Muahahaha!

Doesn't that just bite? Luckily, you can still live happily off of Taco Bell by getting the Chees-arito and the bean burritos. Yeah, sure, the beans are probably packed with lard but you know what, the more you think about these things the more uncomfortable you get (just like poor Heffie when under the femme gunz).

It's all about balance and what makes sense to you.

Note also that taking walks over lunch break costs a lot less than any meat market health club.
