Yes ladies and gents… it’s the food pyramid.

I’ve been thinking a lot about food recently because of a number of things… more thoughts after the jump.

The Food List:

1. I’m not in the greatest shape.  In fact, I completely stopped working out after I got married 3 years-and-some-change ago…  I’ve started up again… but… *ugh*.  Working on that…
2. Thanksgiving is coming up.  Enough said, right?
3. I’m headed to Korea soon.  It is a proven fact that when you travel to korea you get fat.  Not because the food is all fatty but because of the sheer volume of carbon-based material that you consume because of it’s “sheer awesomeness” (Kung Fu Panda).  I remember back in college when friends would go back to Korea for the summer or for winter break… they grabbed a freshman-15 so fast that it would make your head spin.  The food is just that good (and cheap)!
4. In addition to the Korea thing… I’m trying to save a little more money here and there to prepare for the extra expenses.  If you’d like to read more about this journey, go here and help support me…!
5. I read this wickedly cool article about how a few were challenged to live off of $25 bucks a week.  But it wasn’t for kicks: $25 bucks is what people in the state Illinois (where the challenge was held) get from food stamps.  Wow.  In this time of saving (and mass spending) it made me wonder about how others are really coping with the absolute essentials.

Food, or the extra Wii controller…?

Snap.

Her new and official name is “Cutout Dissection.com”.

Yes. That’s her real driver’s license right there. And yes, it does goto CutoutDissection.com.

A PETA intern, she had had enough with schools carelessly carving up animals all in the name of science, learning, and academia.

Although I’m not sure what to think about it, there are obviously a lot of “thoughts” about it, ranging from “you go girl!” esque praises to the… well, things like this:

I DONTTHINK IVE EVER IN MY EXISTENCE CAME ACROSS SOMETHING AS IGNORANT AS THIS. OK I AM GOING TO CHANGE MY NAME TO PLEASEGETRIDOFALLLOSERS.COM
SERIOUSLY GET A LIFE.
IF YOU WANT TO SAVE A RAT OR ANY OTHER DISEASE CARRYING SPECIMEN, YOU NEED TO GO ON THE DR. PHIL SHOW, YOU NEED HELP.
I WEEP FOR YOU

Interesting.  Her father is supportive at least (comment #6).

*sigh* - Would I be as supportive of Roenne if she decided to do something like this?  I pray that I can be spared this type of decision in the future…

I’ve never been that political.  It’s either because I’m too tired of the mudslinging, too ignorant of the major political platforms, too disconnected from either candidate because I do not like either, or simply too busy.

This year, though, has been different.  People extremely close to me have been the most vocal, the most passionate, and the most educated that they have ever been, and it’s forced me to dig a little deeper, do some research, take a stance, and pray to God that our country is not as retarded ignorant stupid blind dumb uneducated uncaring as me.

I guess I’m just being honest with myself… that I need to do this.  Maybe it’s because I have a child now and I really care about the next 4 years.  Maybe I’ve grown up a bit, matured a little more.

Who knows.  But whatever your choice, go vote.  Check this cool video after the break (strong language by famous people is used, so just FYI).

Had a brief conversation with a friend who’s looking to spruce up his resume.  I, for one, really enjoy the process of resume writing (call me lame).

A resume has to be seen as a work of art.  As a visual medium, it speaks volumes collectively and stylistically even before one reads the small bullet point markers about your experience.

Can’t remember where I collected most of these, but I’ve kept a running list of Creative and Inspirational Resumes to help engender passion for the art.  Gallery after the jump.

Here they are:

On a much lighter note…

I’ve seen an ever-increasing use of manga-like avatars cropping up on people’s blogs and especially twitter.  I figured it out.

Thanks to sites like FaceYourManga, it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3! to create your own.

I’ve got mine right here.  What’s so crazy is that my twin brother’s avatar is eerily similar… must be a twin thing or something.

Not sure if I’m ready to go all out on using it though for my universal gravatar or other properties… but, I think I’ll hang onto it for a bit.

Get yours!

And… to finally round out this Manga segment, here are a few hilarious gifs turning Michael Phelps and Co into Super Saiyans:
