I am a Purple Rhino.

HURUMPH!

Yesterday I all of sudden craved grape soda. I don't particularly like grape soda. I knew I just wanted some. So after running an errand I went to the closest 7 Eleven, and no grape soda. So I was willing to compromise, and saw a purple can in with the juice cans. It was guava nectar. I looked to the big ass Arizona Tea cans, no grape-ade. Huh unusual. So by this point, I'm looking at all the flavors. I found blueberry-pomegranate in a can. About 15 different flavors of canned coffee / caffeine. A few orange/citrus although the only true orange soda was a 2-liter of Sunkist. My point is, that while I don't really drink much soda (mostly brewed coffee and water fountain or tap water), it's conceivable that I might at some point crave something like grape soda, or a vanilla shake, or a plain Cherry coke. But I assure you I'm never going to be lost in thought on the bus, and have the craving for strawberry-acai anything. And in case there are any soda marketer's reading this blog. Die. But if you insist on living... why don't you try some of the more traditional flavors in your energy drinks. Because, later when I went to the grocery store and walked through the drinks aisle, the energy / health drinks were stocked full, while the grape soda, was almost gone with the exception of 1 two liter of generic brand, 2 twelve packs of Welch's grape soda, and 3-4 six packs of local brand (Diamond Head) grape soda. I bought a six pack. And while it wasn't a sophisticated mix of "natural" flavors or in anyway healthy.

It was delicious, and exactly what I craved.

The molecular structure of beeswax and clay.

The cavities of teeth, and journeys not taken to far away places I shall not name. For it does not matter. Space is the thing. They say Nature abhors a vacuum... but I've never found one, the world is full of boredom and lately I feel too tired to mourn its death. Drinking's the thing. There has to be more to this out here. Every time I stretch myself I gain valuable insight, and the rest of world becomes slightly more perplexed by my behavior, and reads one less line and changes the channel one minute earlier. And so I hate you. I try to be friendly and I'm really good at it, and I even enjoy being friendly, but if all we relate is the latest movies and yeah fuck that politician... then I'm at a loss.

I am over weight, and feel like replacing one or two my meals a day with a couple of drinks. Can I get a doctors opinion? Would this be an all together unhealthy idea. Because I don't know, while I wake up very hungry for food in the morning... the rest of the day I just feel I'm craving something. And sometimes it's just a certain song, because it won't stop playing in my head I might as well listen to it with my ears. And other times it's a cigarette or a drink. Every few days it's the company of someone who would like to talk about something deeply. I don't care what it is. As long as we feel we learned something at the end of the conversation. I eat most evenings b/c that's what you're supposed to do. I smoke one or two cigarettes every other day b/c I like it, and I feel like it. I have about a drink or two a day (some days none, some days 3 or 4). But I have what I would call real conversation, very rarely. So much for University life.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee This bunch of e's was made because I started staring at the bedroom light. Some thing I do often.

To do list: Work on thesis ideas, rethink anti-gravity field generator cavity structure, check with the entomology guitar player and see if he knows.
