The Great Escapism
or
I'm Too Fat To Pay Attention To Real Life


Enough, you hear me? Enough! I don't want to think about real problems and find real solutions. I don't want to examine and reinterpret my existence. It all sucks anyhow. Nggyya.

Gotta get out. Gotta find something else to look at.

Ran into this little number quite accidentally. It's a beautiful song, just right for getting suck in your head, instantly drowning out whatever nagging doubts might be hooming around in there. Cool. Yeah. Like a Dragonfly.

Second, raise your hand if you love Fitday!

Ok, raise your hand if you don't know what Fitday is! I see. Well, for your information, Fitday is the coolest thing that could ever happen to an obsessive-compulsive calorie-monitoring fitness freak. Yesssss. You just sit down at the end of the day, type in everything you ate, and it does all the talleying and figuring for you. Calories from fat. Calories from protein vs calories from carbs. How many grams of fiber. Everything. And then you write in how much exercise you did (or didn't do), and it totals how many calories you burned-off. Then you can compare input vs. output. Over one week. Two weeks. A month. A year.

I used to do all these calculations in my head, but thanks to the magic of modern technology, the computer does them for me! Though, sometimes I think it's a little leniant. I mean, 250 cals in a white russian? Come on!
