Let Them Eat Cake!

I just got back from a fantastic vacation in Dallas. 10 days away really was refreshing. And I love how being gone makes me love the mountains and my home so much more. I had a great time with my family, great time with friends, great time at Bliss Cafe... yes, I spent a lot of time there. I think I tried almost everything on the menu. Almost.

Raw in Dallas - Bliss Cafe, baby!

Bliss Café in Dallas.

My first Raw Restaurant Experience was stellar. Here's my mom and me showing off the Bliss sign while my dad acts as the photographer.
If you’re ever in the Dallas metroplex – hitting up Bliss Café is a definite raw foodist must. Non-raw foodists are welcome too. At… Continue

Wish Upon a Dandelion

My green smoothie today has dandelion greens, ginger, a pear, one scoop of green Superfood, cilantro, some water to thin it up a bit, and celery.
Speaking of dandelions. When I was a kid, I used to take the seeded buds, make a wish then blow the white, wispy seeds all over the yard - or where ever I was. I'm sure all the weeders of the world were thrilled by that. However, I know all those wishes came true and I played an important role in the pollinization of dandelions. As the song on the soun… Continue

One Year Raw Anniversary and Other Musings

I just looked down at my shirt to see if I'd spilled my morning tea on it. Yeah, my middle name is Grace. I hadn't. But the glance did show me a smallish stain from the other day (I often wear the same shirt more than once in a week...so shoot me). Maybe I should have separate clothes piles. One for "clothes with raw food spills" and another one for "clothes okay to wear another day before washing." Just a thought.
Tomorrow is my One Year Raw Anniversary! Hooray Me! What a difference a year make… Continue

At 5:29pm on November 13, 2009, Charles said…: I know you've never seen Team America: World Police. They had the best montage song about montages.

At 5:01pm on November 13, 2009, Charles said…: Dude, the fourth montage is the best. He's doing all that stuff in the freakin' snow. It's hardcore and badass.

Here's a couple dudes who recreated the Rocky IV training montage.

At 4:33pm on November 13, 2009, Charles said…: Eddie loves Rocky. Oh, do you know what I once got him as a present? A toothbrush that plays the Rocky theme song. He loved it. One of our best conversations ever was which training montage was the best in all of the Rocky movies. My friend Rich, whom Eddie didn't know, got involved too when I messaged him about it. It turned into a three way email conversation, frequently punctuated with "Are you a moron?"

At 2:50pm on November 13, 2009, Charles said…: Eddie is also a big Rocky fan too. We went to see the last Rocky film together.

At 1:32am on November 12, 2009, Charles said…: Rambo vs. Commando is the toughest question ever. Seriously. I really don't know. I want to say Rambo, but check out the scene in the video you posted at about 1:32. He has about six to eight cops on top of him and he throws them all off. Then at the end of the movie, he singlehandedly takes on an entire island of hired thugs and assassins. It had to be like 200 people.

I had this debate with my friend Eddie, who is another Rambo diehard. He thought I was being blasphemous even to ask the question. He said Rambo wins, no doubt, although he did confess that it would be awfully close. I'm not so sure. We talked about this at work, by the way. That's what I used to do at my job every day, when I sat next to Eddie. I think part of the reason why I ended up quitting was when they moved me to another unit and I couldn't debate Rambo with Eddie anymore. The little fun I had at my job was gone after that. We would talk this stuff all day long. Eddie was of the belief that Rambo beats everyone provided he was fully armed, even Superman. He said he would shoot Superman with an explosive kryptonite arrow. Actually, that would be the first thing he'd ask. For example, I'd say, "Rambo vs. Godzilla." He'd ask, "Is Rambo fully armed?" I'd say yes. Then he'd say of course Rambo wins. If Rambo wasn't fully armed, the other person might... might... have a chance, depending on how powerful they were.

This a really long response. You should have known me when I sat next to Eddie. You'd have enjoyed those conversations. We also made action figure dioramas and put them up between our cubicles. Oh, and when me and Eddie went to see the last Rambo movie, I brought my Rambo action figure and he sat in the seat between us at the movie theater.

At 12:07pm on November 11, 2009, Charles said…: You ever notice my "about me" on my profile? "Just a normal guy, eating raw foods, and living day by day." That day by day part was taken from the end of Rambo II. It's the speech between him and Colonel Trautman.

At 11:37am on November 11, 2009, Charles said…: Mickey don't tweet.

At 11:21am on November 11, 2009, Charles said…: Do you like how he combined Rocky with eco-activism?

http://planetgreen.discovery.com/work-connect/green-knockout-rocky-balboa.html

At 1:43am on November 10, 2009, Charles said…: I just watched the Hercules clip again. I like it at the 32 second mark, when the announcer says "Hercules," then drops his voice down and says, "facing love." He does it all cool and Barry White-like.

At 12:07pm on November 9, 2009, Charles said…: It was the incredible Lou Ferrigno, not the amazing. They were playing off the fact that he played the Incredible Hulk on tv. Duh. If Lou Ferrigno had played Spider-Man, they might have said amazing instead.

peanut replied to Danny's discussion 'Should I go to a psychologist?'

Going to a therapist can help you to be clearer with yourself and with others about what's bothering you. But I don't think it really changes how you feel. To do that, I would recommend doing mental exercises. For example, if you're angry at your...

Full disclosure - I work as a therapist. Yes, it helps. But you should know that the value of it can't be described by the speed of the healing process or whether you're looking or seeming perfect. Therapy is about coming to terms and coming back...

Chicory commented on Kate LaChapelle's blog post 'Detox or punishment?'

I always used to get sick on foods from restaurants, but the same meal I prepared at home wouldn't make me sick.... restaurants tend to drown foods in butter and oils, you've probably been eating less of those since going on those diet.
