The future is already here. It's just not very evenly distributed.
William Gibson

just in case you were wondering why you’re always hungry…

…it’s because you aren’t eating enough! At least, according to Taco Bell’s new campaign. They’ve introduced what they call “The Fourth Meal,” which is supposed to be that forgotten meal between dinner and breakfast. (They’ve even created a website but I’m not going to bother linking to it.)

I know that the current advice by health experts is that we should all eat six small meals a day, roughly 200-300 calories each (depending on each person’s needs). But this is Taco Bell. They aren’t advocating responsible eating.

I find the whole idea really irresponsible. It’s not like Taco Bell needs to remind night owls that they’re open late. Trust me, night people know.

Recently I read a small news article (that I’ve lost so I can’t cite it exactly) about a sports stadium up North that has started serving a hamburger with a huge, powdered-sugar doughnut as a bun.

And then there’s The Onion, on top of dietary trends as always, with an article about how meat is the new condiment.

So in case you’re feeling famished, these ideas might help you to attain the ideal shape–a perfect circle.

  • Personal Update (11/5/08)

    Today is just a happy day. Sun shining, a sense of great change for the better is in the air. I'm trying to stay fluid and in the moment.

    Still plan on traveling. Book #2 is so close to being printed! I've got some new pictures to share, possible new paths to take. Making decisions that few have had to make before. There's a feeling of no net below me. For once, I'm learning to enjoy the feeling.

    For those who have wondered how I am doing on a personal level, things are better. I'm finding my feet and re-building. I'm learning a lot and hope that I am growing and moving forward. For what it's worth, I don't feel stagnant! I'm excited to wake up every morning. So if I haven't heard from you in a while, make my day and send a note! :)

    I've discovered the pleasure of working with Brian Gardner's WP themes. His free stuff is nearly flawless, his newly open-source Revolution is mind-blowing and he's actually a nice guy. Although his work is easy to use right out of the box, there's infinite fun to be had by customizing (i.e., destroying) it. As you can see here.
