city of god
So there I was wielding the demiurge.
C2 arrives! Actually I first heard about Pepsi EDGE! But then at work on friday John was reading something about Coke's C2! While at Target today I spotted it.. C2.. low carb coke! Sure what the heck. I'll try it. It doesn't taste bad really, tastes alot better than diet coke thats for sure. The other bonus find at Target today we're Altoids Apple Sours, tasty.. VERY tasty. More on this later. I also broken down and bought a cheap blender.. I want smoothie now I say. And my magic bullet hasn't arrived yet. Don't let a $17 dollar blender stand between you and good smoothie I say. When the bullet arrives.. look out america!
So is Dan goin low carb?! Could this be? I'll be honest my mother gave me the book South Beach Diet some time ago. And my farther well he lays on the guilt so well.. heh. I do love them dearly though. They always mean well. Anyways iIt was on the reading list really. So anyways on Sunday I cracked it open. Let's face it though I'm really clueless in this catagory. But I ventured on and it was a decent read over really expect for the damn recipies. As Ellipse and others know, I am not the cook. Sure I cook eggs, or fajitas, or a roast now and then but the recipies in South Beach were far too... "enlightened" for me. Which lead me to LOW CARB for Dummies! HA! A much better read even.
The time is at hand, its time I take care of the body. I got plenty of soul ya know. Maybe its an early birthday present... i dunno, its just time. Not just in diet.. and even then I think diet is the wrong word for what I want. I just wanna eat right, eat well, thats all. I want that, and I want strength. Sure I have hulk sydrome, like in the movies "yer makin me angry" oh ya I've got that when i need it, but I really want that strength in general, so step on down to McConnel I go. Roughly a week and the pain begins. I'll be sore, starved and sweetless haha.. change is good. Its like chapter four in personal fullfillment. What were the first three chapters? What do you think?
So what the heck does this have to do with City of God and why are you blogging all of this? Blogging is like a time stamp. I go back in time when I read blogs, "oh i remember that..." so time stamp it baby. Talking about it like this is a backstabbin reminder dan.. if you read this and didnt do this, you suck. But if you read this and you did do this? Good Job Man! Its like my past and future selves are here together.. and its because of Hershey PA, and Altoids.
Why Hershey PA? This morning I was surfing the pages of Hershey PA, a special gal was talkin tea cup rides in the big big cites. When I think tea cup rides I think Hershey PA, what is it about that town I love so much? My folks took me when I was little, I loved the museum, I remember that. The park wasn't built yet even, least i dont remember it. Still I think old parks and tea cup rides go together, I didnt even factor in what she was really talkin about, DisneyLand, doh.. oh ya that place. Ooops.
It gets better. Ok so my hair was short, but still thick bad hair.. wasnt bad per say but with these hot humid days.. i wanted it all to go! Alright not all of it. Most, so to the hair cutters I go. Now here I am gettin a hair cut, doin the small chat thing, and the topic of vacation comes along. She asks "where you goin this summer..." I say "maybe colorado, see my brother." She nods and clips a little more. I say "and you?" She puts downt he sissors and says "Hershey, PA"... we'll I'll be darned people. Don't ya find that interesting in the least bit? And this doesn't happen just once, it happens constantly. I'd say in a given week, this kind of syncronicity occurs to me at least six to seven times. It can be the littlest things, but they all add up.
So in the end i got a hair cut. But what else? More evidence into the divine city of god that awaits me?!?!? Actually that's not it. Stream of thoughts that connect everyone together? Maybe I'm just lucky? I did get one number the other day on mega millions lottery... just one. HA! I think about that, what sequence of events led me to that store to have that conversation to reveal that connected piece of information. What if my conversation never occured this morning, what if broadband was down.. which often occurs lately. Reading too much into it? Hey happens once a month sure maybe.. six times a week? Hello are we reaching...?? I'd say YES!
Still what's that have to do with City of God or the demiurge? Well Demiurge is the name of my melancholy cd for Emily. Enjoy girl cause i cant do melancholy. Least this cd sounds more like a disconnected Aeon Flux meets Hong Kong cinema meets Back Alley Lost Hopes and Dreams.. yet its also kinda happy.
