Last Day.
Food:
No food. Part of the life change plans to be intermittent fasting, as recommended by one very fit-looking man.
Today, I did not eat. Except for 1 pot of earl grey tea and 3 almonds. Wow this is about as hard as I thought it would be. I am very hungry.
Tomorrow, I'll write up some observations. The next day I will write up some analyses, maybe.
Regardless, I will blog about my food intake no more forever. Things will go back to their normal 3-4 posts a month.

Football
Football. Football. Football.
Athens totally shuts down for Football. I don't know whether it is because the town is horribly laid out, or because people just love it that much.
This is not like Manhattan, Kansas shuts down, where residents put magnetic decals on their purple cars and everyone can drive about 20 miles/hr, and people barbecue in the parking lot (which accommodates most of the people who come) and then they go drink at Rusty's Last Chance Bar and Grill or Rusty's Salloon or Rusty's Outback or Rusty's Mother's House. No.
Instead.
Absolute. Gridlock.
Banks are not open. Restaurants close early. Other Reasons for living cease to be relevant.
I was advised to stay in my house. It was not a joke.
In other news, I started reading John Darnielle's blog, Last Plane to Jakarta (www.lastplanetojakarta.com). I cannot love the Mountain Goats or that man any more than I do. My run-in with him, my friends' run-ins with him, his music, his blog. I should stop learning anymore, lest what is perhaps my final music-man-infatuation dissolve. Because lets face it, having heroes feels really good.
Friday, August 28th:
Breakfast:
1 Bowl of Hearty Morning (or whatever the fuck it was, I'm out of it, and I've called its something different everytime I've written it down). With milk.
Lunch: Cali-N-Tito's Latin Cafe

1 99 cent Junior Cheeseburger Deluxe
1 Glass of Milk
Saturday August 29th:
Breakfast: 5 Point Deli

Roast Beef Sandwich on Italian Herb & Cheez with lettuce, tomato, onion, banana pepper cucumber and spicy mustard
1 Bag of Original Sunchips.

Coca Cola owns my school
...so I may begin to rebel against what was essentially mother's milk for much of the first part of my life. Most positive memories I have of my childhood are tied to the memory of that sweet, sweet combination of corn syrup, carbonated water, caramel color, and the blood of union leaders.
But now, seeing that Coke is written on the side of every building, incorporated into every school event, and actually, paying my stipend by way of a former CEO donating all of the money to start the foundation that I work for, I feel increasingly compelled to rage against the Coke-stablishment.
Some reasons:
1/ That shit is really bad for you.
2/ Not only are the nice memories tied to coke-sumption, but so are the massive fucking holes in my molars.
3/ The weirdness of the oncampus coke-emon. Seriously, you won't find the Pepsi logo anywhere, unless you look at the no food and drink signs outside of computer labs, where they have the big X-out of soda, which happens to be a Pepsi. No man, I don't trust that at all.
Regarding the food blog, I've run into a bit of trouble, given my computer's intermittent death/revival/amnesia, I've lost the word document with this week of foods. I'm going to try to reconstruct it, but I can't be totally sure of its accuracy, starting Tuesday.

...no more. Why did I come back? I shouldn't have come back. I blame lucifer. And the allure of the "South". Athens is not the "South".

In response to your question EB, lord willing, it will become permanent and even better.

Had to write something down...
...if I do it here, I'm likely to see it again and remember that I read it.
An absurd passage from an "Observation, Speculation, and Modeling" by Charles Lave and James March (reading for school):
"To speak of pleasures is probably dangerous and certainly pretentious. Few people rely solely on any social science for their pleasures, and attaining a suitable level of ecstasy involves work. We regret the latter problem. It is a nuisance, but God has chosen to give the easy problems to the physicists. We do not regret the former problem. We have no intention of suggesting that poetry and sex be abandoned. Rather, we invite you, in the moments between Byron and bed, to join us in speculating about ordinary human existence". (pg 10, Essential Readings in Comparative Politics).
Weird.

Everyone is critical!
...S'ok. I need it. I'm clearly a kevolution diet failure. I'm going to continue blogging about eating so I can do an analysis at the end of the month, but I doubt I can be as strict as I'd like to, especially given limited funding for R&D of a better nutritional program and kevinetics laboratories.
Thought of the last week.
Political science professors are either shaped like she-mice or weird mid-aged man-dolls with big heads. I'm hoping my head doesn't start to expand too soon. I think the bulk of it happens when you write your thesis, altough there are some people in my program who put a little bit of doubt into that theory.

...this comes from right outside of Seattle. Fucked up, and there were more awful signs on other parts of the place that i didn't get pictures of.
Sad. Very sad. At least (too bad) that it's everywhere for everyone instead of just focused on a few folks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Other news. Started a new type of eating. Went to the grocery store and a-here we go.
Breakfast:
1 large bowl of Cinnamon Life Cereal
1 Yoplait Strawberry Yogurt.
Lunch:
1 Slice of Herbed Turkey Breast
1 Carrot
~20 oz Blue Goodness Smoothie
1 Georgia Peach!
Coffee:
20 oz Iced Green Tea
Dinner:
1 Serving of Whole Wheat Pasta w/ Red Sauce
1 Spinach Salad in Wasabi Vinagrette
Coffee:
12 oz Coffee (doh!)
Midnight compulsion:
3 tablespoons of roomie's peanut butter. Not fully conscious, couldn't help it.
I've discovered that I cannot sustain the athletic activities that I do regularly eating only fruits and vegetables, the full liver cleanse will have to wait. Yesterday, I ate no refined sugar. We'll see how that goes overtime. I'm breaking my alcohol ban as I type...Oops?

The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights...
...rocks on without me. I don't know how to feel about it. School hasn't started, but when it does, I don't think I'll enjoy it too much. I haven't had this kind of deep-seated regret in a long-old time.
I should have been brave.
I should have stayed in Waukegan.
Food (Last day of eating garbage, non-stop, so I took it to the limit)
Breakfast: Intended to go to Waffle House, ran out of time and went to Zaxby's (nasty)
1 Grilled Chicken Sandwich w/ lettuce and mustard-type sweet sauce
3/4 of the Side Order of Fries
3/4 Medium Coke
Coffee:
Caribou
Medium Iced Americano
Dinner:
The Varsity (famous southern drive-in, I imagine it will be off limits for a while)
1 Chili Cheese Dog
1 Order Onion Rings
1 Frosted Orange (so good...sooooogooood)
1 Fried Apple Pie
Drinking:
1 Carta Blanca Beer
10 oz Dr Pepper
2 Shots Jim Beam (I have a handle of it, if you're looking for an explanation).
I found out today/yesterday that nobody's really been reading this. If you have and can establish unhealthy trends I need to break, feel free to comment as to foods you think oughtta be off-limits.
I had a decent day today, bought groceries, ate only from home (post tomorrow). I don't think I'll be able to quit coffee. I'm going to try hard to mostly quit alcohol. Refined Sugar is what I'm aiming to drastically reduce, alongside bread-type foods. Finally, no soda, whatsoever. Hopefully this is a forever decision.

I Don't Trust....
...IKEA.
I think it's because of the way that the furniture is really cheap, and the people all wear the same shirts, and they make you believe that their employees are rebels. The place reeks of cheap exploitation.
Yesterday's garbage:
Breakfast:
1 Fuji Apple
Lunch:
Subway
Roast Beef w/ Lettuce Tomato Mayo Onions Pickles (first Subway I've ever seen w/o Banana Peppers. Inexplicable rage)
1 Bag Jalepeno Chips
1 Sweet Tea
Coffee:
1 Medium Iced Americano
Pool Party Thrown by Fellowship Chair:
2 Bud Lights.
1 Bass Ale
4 Carrots
~12 Broccolis
Mound of Ranch Dressing
1 Handful of Tortilla Chips
6 Weird little Triscuit Crackers
1 Shrimp Empanada
1 Spinach Empanada
2 Chicken Empanadas
Left their before actual dinner started to eat dinner at an intriguing restaurant w/ Roomie
Dinner
The Mean Bean (Should have tipped me off. Shit was disgusting)
2 Chicken Enchiladas (Meaning corn tortilla/shredded chicken/bucket of red sauce?)
Handful of Doritos.
Fuck, that place was gross.
Show (Hold Steady):
1 24 oz Pabst Blue Ribbon
After Show:
1 32 oz Tiger Woods Gatorade
~3 shots Jim Beam
6 oz Dr Pepper
1 Twix Bar.
I did this all while sitting in my new $20 Ikea kitchen chair.
Wishing I had some Lingonberry Jam,

I love some things
I LOVE ROCK N' ROLL MUSIC
I love The Hold Steady. Craig Finn is so nerdy, so spazzy, and so phenomenally captivating. I have decided to buy their albums. And then maybe to buy Lifter-Puller's albums. I fucking love that band.
I watched them (first show in Athens) last night at the 40 Watt Club. It was very interesting to see a bunch of people who have never been to Nicollet and 66th scream about Nicollet and 66th, but oh well. I had forgotten how much I like concerts and that deaf, disoriented feeling that comes with leaving them. They might very well make Athens worth living in.
Breakfast:
1 Bowl Cinnamon Life con Leche
1 Bowl Cinnamon Life w/ Yogurt
Coffee
16 oz Coffee
Lunch
5 Points Diner and Deli
Roast Beef and Provolone Sandwich w lettuce tomoato onion mayo.
Dinner:
Barberitos (gross almost Chipotle. See: Burrito Loco of Minneapolis)
Chicken Burrito w/ Black beans, salsa, lettuce, sour cream.
Chips and Salsa
Late Night
12 oz Green Goodness Smoothie
2 Vodka Lemonade Fizzies
I love the crowds at the really big shows.
People touchin' people.
That they don't even know, yo.

Perversions of MN Chains Abound...
Part 1...The now customary preface to my dietary entry:
Ever since I was a man too young for liquor but too cool for the arcade there has been the coffee shop. I'm really hoping to outgrow it soon, seeing as I've killed oh-so-much time in them for several years now, but given my current state of loneliness, they seem like the place to be (at least for now).
Given their nature, coffee shops tend to be unique to their areas (we can all assume the Starfucks and CariBoo and Seattle's Worst to non-factors in this passage). However, one that has always had a very home-y feel, but can always be recognized through their menu graphics is the ERC E> (Espresso Royale Cafe <3). They also have such distinguishing characteristics as sullen, semi-cute, surly baristettes (again, not counting a bright, beautiful young Blake Bolan), so-so soups, and weird heart-heathy, whole-food-type oatcakes things.
What is odd about this plae is that I have only seen them in places I live, never in places I visit. I'm not sure if this means I should hang out there or not. I did in Minneapolis because it was in a space that was sort of like a converted hallway, which I liked. I did in Manhattan because it seemed like Java was for old people. Now it is a difficult decision because Jittery Joes (which seems to have an abundance of creeps) is a mere 3 minute bike ride, compared to the 20 it will take me to get to the Southern ERC (heart shape).
Food (rough day, cleanse begins Mond-y).
Breakfast:
1 Bowl Cinnamon Life Cereal w/ Mild
Coffee:
Med Iced Vanilla Latte (mmm. girl. drink.)
Lunches:
Chic-Fil-A (Dear Jesus I love this chain)
1 Deluxe Chick-Fil-A Sandwich
1/2 Regular Waffle Fries (Better for you than the cut-up variety, me-thinks)
1 Regular Coca Cola
Snack:
A few gulps of Green Goodness Smoothie
Coffee:
Medium Iced Tea (black)
Dinner:
1/2 Heap of Cream Cheese Wontons made by Roomie, who continues to grow on me.
WEAKNESS (11:30 pm):
1/4 Pound Bacon Cheese Rally Burger
1 Double Slice Kroger Yellow Cake with Fudge Frosting
~6 Shots Jim Beam
18 oz Dr. Pepper
Man, that last part killed it. And this post was full of alliteration. If my blog was a kid show, an animated animal would race all of the children at home (represented in the show by a strange child-chorus "Wight Theyw!" track) to find all of the examples.

Name Wale, Don't say Wall-E...
...unless you're talkin' bout a Disney/Pixar film!
Erm, doesn't quite work...
Today I saw Wall-E. By myself. In the midst of a room full of children and moms. It was awkward. But the movie was really enjoyable. Anti-consumerism, little to no dialogue, robots, love-story, I can't ask for much more.
Day 6, I think:
Breakfast:
1 Cup of Yoplait Strawberry Yogurt.
16 oz Coffee from Jittery Joe's
Late Lunch:
5 Guys Burgers and Fries (apparently famous in the SE)
"Small" Cheeseburger
1/2 Regular Fries
Dinner:
1 Bowl Cinnamon Life Cereal
12 oz Bolthouse Smoothie
12 oz Goose Island 312.
I've decided on next Monday for the revolution.

College-ville USA....
...is my new home.
This place is essentially Lawrence, Northfield, Manhattan, La Jolla, rolled up onto a southern style plate. I live a block away from rec fields, 3 blocks from a co-op, coffee shop, quaint restaurant. Not so bad. My dream as a teenager, really.
But now?
Hard to say. I kinda liked being a grown-up. But now I'm in the ivory tower again, for at least one, maybe two years. I may be too old to party by the time it's over. Ack.
One thing is for sure, havinga home makes you eat significantly better.
Foods, starting at 1:30 pm:
"Lunch"
Jittery Joe's Coffee
1 Bagel
2 Packets Jam
16 oz Iced 'merican-o
Snack:
Swig of Bolthouse Green Goodness Smoothie
Dinner (made with 27 yr old roomie):
Pan-fried Tilapia in Wine/Lemon/Garlic Reduction Sauce
Steamed Broccoli
Spinach Salad in Wasabi Vinagrette Dressing
12 oz Goose Island 312 Beer
After Dinner:
'nother swig Bolthouse
1 Fuji Apple
It is hot as balls.

The Wheels Roll On, The Wheels Fall Off
So,
I am now in Athens, Georgia, where I will live for an undisclosed period of time.
To get here, I drove for around 17 hours, including stops, by myself. Was this miserable, you might ask? Not really, I do this shit all the time.
Common trips include:
8 Hrs from Minneapolis to Manhattan, KS
10 Hrs from Manhattan, KS to Chicago
6 Hrs from Minneapolis to Chicago
12 from Manhattan, KS to Lubbock TX
After this one, however, I've decided that I should lay off the absurdly long solo-car trips for a while. You'll notice that there are two "breakfasts" on this entry, this is because yesterday bleeds into today. I don't consider it a days end until I am laying completely horizontally while sleeping (unless I am in outer space). Last night, my overnight rest was a 4 hour sitting up nap at a truck rest area outside of Chattanooga, TN. Not cool, man.
So a full day of being sedentary is bad enough in and of itself, but when that is compounded with the horrid gastronomical choices of the interestate, I might as well be locked in a beanbag chair palace, smoking shortening.
Onto the eats:
Breakfast:
Lula Cafe
5/6 Breakfast Burrito (eggs, cheese, potatoes, onions)
2 cups of coffee
Lunch?:
Protein in a glass strawberry banana smoothie from the Bucktown Beanery (Chi)
Snack:
Nature Valley Oats n' Honey Granola Bar
Straying from the path of foodie righteousness lunch:
Rockn'roll Mcdonalds
1 Double Cheeseburger
1 McChicken
28 oz Sweet Tea
24 oz Coca Cola
Getting Late:
16 oz Mountain Dew Amp Energy Drink
1 Package Chewy Life Savers
Worst Choice of the Day (11:30 pm):
Taco Bell
1 Cheezy Chicken Jalepeno Melt
3/4 Cheesy Double Beef Burrito (almost threw up later, I think this young man was the culprit)
Breakfast again:
16 oz Starbucks Coffee.
So...disgusting,

Day 3...Party party
So, this day I went to a party. It was fun. My last night in Chicago was understandably spent with my rockin' sister. Way to be rockin', sis.
Morning fast-break:
1/3 oz Sirloin, 1/2 serving mashed potatoes (cold leftovers)
Tournament Eats:
3 Handfuls Cajun Style Sam's Club Trail Mix (thanks Kosher)
1 Can Busch Light (surprisingly refreshing)
2 Pm Lunch:
Rocky Rococo's Pizzeria (Wisconsin Chain, so greasy, so good)
1 Pizza Combo (Slice Pepperoni, 6 Breadsticks, Med Cherry Coke)
1/2 Tea Refill (threw it out because it tasted like onions)
1/2 Mellow yellow refill
1 More slice Pepperoni
Drive Back to Chicago:
Small-type Starbucks Vanilla Frappucino
Hung out at sister's house:
Glass Citrus Green Tea
1 two-bite key lime pie-let
Someone else's going away party:
1 Goose Island Summer Ale
1 Goose Island 312
1 Random multicolored delicious beer.
1 Drink Grass flavored beer
1/2 Italian Sausage
1 BBQ Chicken Breast
1 Serving Jicama Salad
1 Serving Cold Greenbean Salad
1 Slice Homemade Peach Pie
1 More Key lime pie-let
1 Slice Watermelon
1 Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bar (memories)
That was clearly my worst day so far. Whatever, whatever, I do what I want.

PS So, given that this requires me post everyday, the variations on my name are probably gonna start suckin. Might as well quit before you start.

Prepare for the wicked boredom......
...because August is food journal month. I've been eating garbage, and I think it's adversely affecting my short and long-term health. So, instead of writing it down privately, I'm going force you to navigate away from this page.
Please don't navigate away from this page. I desperately watch the hit counter. And I cry a little everytime it goes for an extended period of time without moving. Speaking of, it's been on 8 for quite some time....here come the tears...
Aaaaanyway.
So. August 1. Here we go.
Meal 1: IHOP
1 Sausage Link
1 Bacon
1/2 Plate of Bananas Foster Pancake w/ Caramel Syrup and a scoop of vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 Scrambled eggs.
3/4 of a serving of hash browns
1/2 Bowl of Fruit.
Snacks:
1 1/2 Twizzlers Pull N Peel.
1 Lipton Sweetened Black Iced Tea.
3/4 Large Pepsi
1/3 Large Popcorn.
Meal 2:
1 Microbrew Great Dane Pub Pilsner
1 Macaroni and Cheese Plate
1 Meal Pretzel (delicious)
1 Bite Thai Turkey Burger
3 French Fries.
Afterward:
2 Jack Daniels Pre-mixed Rum and Cokes.
Yuck. Obviously, this is pre-cleanse dining. Know that I'll be driving to Georgia in a couple of days so it will get worse before it gets better.
Bye-bye.
