Have you ever had a hard time making a decision? I have. In fact it is a frequent occurrence. I struggle every single night deciding what to make for dinner. I struggle when I am ordering a sandwich, burger or even a pizza (except at Little Ceaser’s… Oh “hot and readys,” you treat me so well). Yep food is one thing that I can’t seem to handle. If I am going to spend money on something I want it to be good. If I am going to make something I want it to be good. But most of the time I am in a panic attack about deciding. There are several factors which have to be addressed when ordering a meal.
1) Will it fill me up? The importance of this is obviously a concern. If I am hungry after a meal I will consider my personal efforts a waist. Especially since my “bling bling” is nowhere to be “seen seen.” One day I’ll have more money. One day I’ll eat stake.
2) Is the process of ingesting it an efficient use of my time? Ok, so you’re probably thinking, “Really Phil? Do you have to be such an engineer?” See caught you in the act. Sucker. This really isn’t as bad as it sounds. No one wants to wait an hour for a five dollar sub at subway. Well… if you do… then …. (Phil filter employed). I am finding that time is the most precious thing we have in this life. No one gets more hours in a day than anyone else, and people who spend their time well spend everything else well too. There is a catch though. I call it Catch 22.5. If you’re like me, and spend too much time worrying about time, then you’re wasting time.
3) How much cholesterol am I pumping into my blood stream right now? I try to pick and choose the times I break down and eat that 74 cent microwave pizza. College is a life altering experience, hopefully not a life ending experience.
4) How scrumtrilescent is this going to be? I would just like to take a moment and publicly thank Will Ferrell for inventing that word. I can’t eat Ramen noodles; reason being, they taste like sweat.
I think that takes care of my food thought process. This is why I consider eating a burden. Plus it is just not that high up on my priorities list. I recognize that that train of thought could be fatal, so I am trying to correct it. But still, if it weren’t necessary, I wouldn’t do it.
I feel like I know you 1/10th more than I used to.
ReplyDeleteFor the love... I will feed you anytime you need. Just call and say, "B-Ridge I am hungry." I won't even make you decide... I will just bring you over hot food! That is all!
ReplyDeleteit wasn't meant to be a plea for help. It is more of a reflection.
