I am sooooo confused, well not really.

Like everyone else in my age bracket, I try to eat healthy. Eating healthy is very difficult with all the dollar menu's, .75 wings, 1.00 draft, free stuff from chic-fi-la, and the proverbial turf war between dominos, and Papa johns pizza that gives everyone in this back water town 5.00 pies almost all of the time. Which is cool, because well...no one makes anyone eat at any of these places.

Well no one strong arms you at least.

I guess that is well enough, because as much as these companies spend enticing you to come and eat at these places you got a bunch more people telling you how evil it is. Now I am not going to go list any links for other things for you to read.

If you want to read it I trust you are smart enough to google it yourself.

Now a few years back there was this documentary called "Super Size Me", it was about this guy who obviously has this overbearing vegitarian bitch of a girlfriend that has him eating like a rabbit and probably gave him the option of eating grass and bark or never getting laid.

So what does he do?

Well he does what most men do when faced with that situation, he does what he has to do, and he eats the rabbit food. Of course he gets tired of it, and instead of telling his obviously overbearing vegetarian bitch of a girlfriend, "I ain't going for it! If I want to eat 12 baby cows and wash it down with tiger blood, then dammit Imma do it"

He makes a documentary about how fast food is bad, obviously as a head-fake so he can actually eat it.

We all do it ladies, and you fall for it every time.

Anyway, this documentary was pretty awesome. He is a youtube clip of basically what this guy does for thirty days

So after that, I watched this other documentary called food inc.

This documentary talks about how evil any food product that has a president, CEO, and VP of marketing is in fact the spawn of Satan with no other purpose in life but to pump you full of delicious, inexpensive, and easily accessible poison.

And they did a good job of it too!

While I didn't go full fledged Vegan off of this documentary, I did in fact curb my fast food intake to a screeching halt for about 60 days. Even now, I think I have only eaten at fast food places a handful of times.

By the way, I am not counting quick trip in this tally.

This documentary was crazy, now I can't trust the grocery stores. 100% all natural, Rubbish! Farm raised? Old McDonald didn't have no fish! Organic, huh? I was starting to feel the same way I felt when I was a kid when Shawn Michaels Super Kicked Marty Jennetty through Brutus the barber beefcakes window Wayyyyyy back when, in case you were living under a rock

Oh yeah, I forgot a clip of Food Inc(I got too caught up in the awesomeness of the Rockers).

So what have I been doing to steer myself through this storm of information?

Well I joined a gym, started reading labels, and set some fitness goals. I figure, if I worked harder and cut my calories then I would lose the weight that I got from the year or so of dollar menus, 1.00 draft, .45 cent wings, Chinese buffet, and individually wrapped snacks. Then I see this documentary.

This guy basically puts a middle finger to the above posted documentary and uses a mixture of math and common sense to not so much disprove super-size me, but disprove how he got to his destination. Obviously, this guy doesn't get laid as much as a man that eats grass and bark like their overbearing broccoli headed girlfriend does, but at least he eats what he wants. He even played a race card, and the only thing I could say was, "Well played sir, well played". He called up Morgan and asked to see his food log several times so he could actually see what he ate daily, and low and behold, ol'boy's people were not trying to give up the goods.

I mean, why not? If everything was on the up and up why not.

hmmmmmmmmm

Oh here is a clip from his documentary

So what do you do, for every idea about exercising that say's do "X" and you will get "Y" results, you have somebody else telling you that is not true at all you really have to do is "B" to get "Y" results. Then you have people telling you that it is all genetic and you were really doomed from the start.

Eat Low Fat

Eat All THE FAT

No carb

ALL THE CARBS

What is anyone to do? Now, I understand that nothing get's done without effort, but seriously can you take that seriously when every health magazine is guaranteeing results in less than ten days on average to the populous! Whenever I get overwhelmed by all this (dis)information, I ask myself, "What did the Spartan's do(no homo)?"

Then I just get outside and sweat.

KenNitro Vs. Fake People : can it be so simple?

Fake people are always interesting to me, you know everyone can sit and tell you about how they know someone that is in fact fake, and I am willing to venture if you took the time to read this, it's because you yourself know some fake people.

Truth be told, you are probably fake yourself.

Just as I refer to myself as a "Situational Bad Guy"(I explained that in a blog so I am not going to repeat myself), people are situationally fake(just like you!) The problem you have with other fake people is the same thing that they have with you.

Consistency.

Seriously.

You know, I fake it...I even fake it when other people are faking it, it is one huge imaginary party where everyone is acting as if they are really excited about some variable that in reality they all wish didn't exist. It is really self-serving, fake people can just chalk it right on up and call it a head fake secretly while they know just how much they are flexing.

My problem is that I have learned to leave well enough alone.

So in reality, I am actually enabling the fake people to keep being fake, kind of like a magicians assistant. I mean, they know they aren't really being sawed in half, but they have to act as though they are just as surprised to see their legs moving on their own as they are separated from their lower regions, and they don't even have a sigh of relief when they are joined back together.

See, they are not ignorant of the situation, they are just being fake.

Like most things in life, you got two choices.

You can check it or respect it, but after either choice

you got to god bless it.

Tax return a go-go

So every year from now until April 14, everyone in the United States gets either happy or depressed about one thing.

TAXES

Now for all my peoples around the world that are not exactly sure what I am talking about, this is the short version. Americans have money taken out of their paychecks every time we get paid, at the beginning of the year, the gov't sends us a W2 and we get it filled out and send it back in and then in a few weeks or so we get a check from the the government.

Honestly, getting a tax return is not a bad thing, unless you are the guy that wrote this

http://money.msn.com/tax-planning/why-i-hate-income-tax-refunds-schnepper.aspx?GT1=33005

See, now here is the thing, I understand if you are making 50 trillion dollars a year and half your paycheck is going to taxes, leaving you with 25 trillion dollars and you are like, damn I don't want to get a tax return because that would mean I have been paying too much during the year and I could have used that money, but now I have to wait to get it back.

Now for the rest of the working population that is essentially living from paycheck to paycheck, The smart move is to get a tax return. Honestly, you work the whole year and you are still broke on the first and the fifteenth of every month, and then sometime between January and april, you get a check for anywhere between 1,ooo to 2,000 or whatever, feels really good.

So seriously, fuck this guy.

KenNitro Vs The Facility: The WAR REPORT

So there was this huge ice storm that hit Carrollton, and as usual the people of this town and any other town in Georgia did not disappoint. All the bread and ALL the eggs were purchased with the veracity of angry wilder beast. I even went to the store myself, late and I picked up a loaf of bread too. I actually already had eggs, so while I still fell into the madness it was more of a casual walk.

The snow was a crucial moment at the facility and if you read my previous blog you know the decision I made and the perilous journey to work. I along with the “Professional Wild Boyz” did in fact go and “Get dis Money HO!!!!!”

However, in preparation for such an even there was a great email sent that in a very professional said the following “Regardless of the weather, get yo ass to work. There will be repercussions, no one will be over looked.”

It was wild, after I decided that I was going to risk it on the road, I started to get hype. I started to feel like how I guess you should feel if the zombie apocalypse was going to happen and you had a six hour head start on the whole thing. I put together an anti-cabin fever package containing all things necessary for such an event as this epic snowpocalypse.

First on my list was food. I know for a fact that the children of the facility will have their nutritional needs taken care of and just like on airplanes where it says put your air mask on before you help someone else, I had to make sure I had food for me so I can handle all situations at work.

Second, my toothbrush.

Third, a 24 pack of cokes, see the soda fountain might have been available for my caffeine needs, but like I said earlier, this is the cold weather version of zombies coming to eat my brains, I can’t take the chance that the machine is off and I can’t get a coke. I can promise you there would have been a death, and I could prolly tell you right now which child would be made the example and which one would be the object lesson.

Forth, my Xbox 360. This time it was for me. On rare occasions I disable my entertainment hub for the kids but I figured if I am going to be snowed in, I need to have something to give me the idea that I am not at work.

Finally, the mental preparation to know that sleep will be what I am working for not without.

Seriously, I worked about 23 hours and had maybe an hour worth of sleep. Sleeping was not really an option because there is a third shift from 11-7 that had to be covered, but there were enough to where we could sleep in shifts, but I like most of my coworkers would rather go without sleep than not get enough. Around 10 that morning I was coaxed into taking a nap because my actual shift did not start until 3, but I am working the 1^st shift from 7-3. I sleep for about five hours in an office with a locked door, I could actually relax.

I worked my shift and finally made it home Tuesday night/Wednesday morning at 12 am.

What is funny is how some people at work apparently have their nose turned up at the people who made the inverse decision to stay home. Honestly, I don’t blame them. I live 13 miles from work and there are those at work that live 45+ miles from the facility.

I was reading all over facebook how folks suffered from cabin fever and all this snow related nonsense. I would have killed to have been at my house during this stuff, but you know this flat screen tv is not going to pay for itself.

FACT.

KenNitro Vs The Facility Vs The WEATHER: This is for the TV title

As we all know, the TV title was actually the hardest belt to win in WCW. The match was always the last on the show and the challenger generally had 15 minutes or TV time remaining in order to defeat the champion. A lot of champions, especially Diamond Dallas Page or DDP as us real fans refer as was the king of exploiting this particular rule. I remember as a kid watching this guy not cheat, but take full advantage of the opportunity of the rules set forth. Not to mention the Diamond Cutter, this move was in fact the business because it could come from anywhere at at any moment and then BAM!!!! you are looking like the dude in the orange spandex I mean just so we are on same page here, I am going to give you a little hot youtube action of the man, and you will see that not only could the Diamond Cutter be delivered from any angle of position, but it was a game changer!!!!!

and anyone could in fact get it!

Like Muddy Waters said, "Ain't that a MAN!!!!!"

Well right now, I am in a similar position. Here I am, the facility is thirteen miles away, and the only thing stopping me from coming closer to the flatscreen tv that I want is ice on the road.

The smart move is always the safe move.

The safe move would be for me to stay my ass indoors play this call of duty, and watch dexter.

The pimp move, would be for me to get out there, get this money, like a hungry lion. Cats is on the island counting money like....like....

LIKE THIS NIGGA HUURRRR

Seriously, if Brian Nichols can walk into a court house, and walk out, not because a judge told him he could, but because he decided he did not want to go to jail. Why am I sitting here not gettin this money?

ACT LIKE YOU WANT IT, GO HOME WITH THE TROPHY

I base a lot of decisions around this phrase, sometimes it works out, sometimes not so much, but in the end, I made a decision, which is something a lot of people never really do. So I am going to pack up some sandwiches and teletron and brave this 6-7 inches of snow in Georgia.

I think I get it now

So collectively we all know certain kinds of people. Hippie's, conservatives, pill heads, douche bags, etc, and right.

And we all know about the site people of wal-mart right?

Well this blog has nothing to do with anything I just mentioned. The other day while out and about before I went in to work, I decided to go to Publix for lunch. I guess you could say Publix is to wal-mart as G.I. Joe is to Cobra.

And we all know people who only shop at Publix if the "Whole Foods" is not an option.

Anyway, I typically don't go to Publix for much because I like most people have a Kroger card and even though the discount is small it adds up and I actually like seeing my final price decrease, even if it is just a little.

At Publix you don't get that.

I remember one time I was at Publix in the produce section and while looking at whatever the fuck I was shopping for this chick in her late twenties early thirties starts up this whimsical conversation, and I just looked at her like

"What the FUCK do you think this is some kind of romantic comedy?"

At that point I knew this Publix shoppers were crazy. I am almost certain no one goes to wal-mart to pick up chicks. Kroger...well I don't shop early enough there to truly get a read on that, but only one of these female Publix shoppers would put themselves out there in the produce section to be picked up...

I'm digressing.

So I stop in for lunch, cause the deli is just as good as quizno's and cheaper to boot! I order the Publix daily special and I wanted to pay for it at the deli so I can eat it in the little section they have there for them, but the guy behind the counter wouldn't ring it up.

He said, "Just keep the box and pay for it at the register"

What?

You mean in this age of identity theft, credit card fraud, and face book stalking, I can go to Publix and post pay for a sandwich? Everywhere else in this town I live in requires you to pay for your purchase before you leave/eat them. So I enjoyed my sandwich and then did a quick walk through of the store because...well prettier people do shop at Publix.

So I get to the checkout line and there is this lady with a shit load of groceries and me with this empty box, now I am prepared to wait in line, but she lets me go ahead of her, which was nice of her, but all it did was put me behind another lady with another cart full of groceries.

I chuckled at the irony

Well that lady, either in a female’s innate sense of competition for men or mere consideration for others also allowed me to go ahead of her also. I was really thrown back. I mean have you seen the news lately? You really can't trust anyone.

As I walked to the car I pondered all that just transpired.

Paid for lunch after I ate it at a grocery deli

Was allowed to go in front of one lady

Was allowed to do it again in front of another lady

What is it with Publix?

Then I realized something.

People at Publix pride themselves on not being like people at wal-mart, and to be honest the difference price is not so high to where people that shop at Kroger and wal-mart could not afford it, just the people that do not want to shop at Kroger and wal-mart will pay for the convenience of not having to go there.

I think that has created this culture of politeness that is just not found at other stores. I mean I can’t speak for publixs elsewhere but the one in Carrollton is the only grocery store that does not have one of the self check-out kiosks that all the other grocery stores have. Instead there is this trust factor that the employee’s of the store have for customers because well…

They don’t look like they shop at wal-mart.

Seriously.

Where did 2010 go?

No seriously, it seems like I just wrote this blog yesterday.

Read it if you like, but the best part is this:

"Anyway, I just try to be better than what I was before, good or evil, I want to be better at it than before."

I did start learning a new instrument...

I do believe that I have been a better person, but I don't really know what that means past doing good deeds? This year, I have cast out, let in, sinned, forgave, been forgiven, pushed and shoved, hustled, created and destroyed.

I would like to say that it is all in the name of forward progress, but I don't know. Lately, in the last few instances that I have been angry which have been less than five times, I see myself compartmentalizing all of it, and never really purging myself of the actual reason I am angry. I use to think that I needed that, this angst that keeps me on edge.

The proverbial hare in front of the hounds

Anyway, this year has been interesting enough, the good parts of it are

I have a job that I am good at

I have my own apartment

I have my health

I have some of the best friends ever

I think therefore I am

I think I will own 2011

I am going own 2011
