feels like burning

hi my name is nathan and i am addicted to magazines. more magazines that i can faithfully read. i suppose it all started when i was younger. my doctor, dentist, and supermarket checkout lines tempted me all too often. towards the end of middle school is when i really started to use magazines too much. i think at that time i was subscribed to gamepro, rolling stone magazine, cmj magazine, beckett baseball monthly, sports illustrated for kids, and eastbay - that was more of a catalog though, but those bastards pushed their stuff on you monthly so it might as well be a magazine. oh and then pensacola had to get a books amillion with an entire 300 foot wall devoted to magazines!! things started to spiral outta control when i was sleeping in class b/c i had stayed up for hours in bed the previous night reading interviews with gavin rossdale and dave matthews. i was slipping into a blackhole of subscription cards! it got so addictive that i had to carry them to school and sneak peaks between classes. i am now at a point in my life where i am tired of finding subscription cards all wrinkled up in ball when i pull my clothes from the dryer. i am sick of magazines piling up on my bedroom floor, in my bathroom, on the kitchen table, and in my car. as of right now i am getting: rolling stone (STILL), premiere, espn magazine, interview, esquire, rockpile, and some 2 or 3 others that are blank in my mind right now. over the next few months as subscription periods come around for renewal, i am going to politely rip them up into a millions pieces and them put them through my paper shredder. all but a golden 2 - rolling stone bc its like an arm to me and premiere bc its solely based around a huge interest of mine - film. so thats only 2 and i think i can faithfully keep up with those. i may and another new one though. 'paste magazine' its just too damn good. thank you for your listening to my story. my name is nathan and i am a magazine addict.

i will not take these things for granted

I have awoken from a bad dream of sorts. I don't recall too much, just images. Do I have anything witty, creative, or insightful to say? No I just found this cool looking pic that made me want to share with the world. I will probably have denison serenade me back to sleep very shortly. I watched a pretty good movie with disturbing content lastnight. There are a ton of movies that are coming out this last portion of 2006 that I really want to see. blah blah blah....tired is thee

Stop watching crappy programming and tune into 'Weeds'.

this is smart, dark, and hilarious writing at its best. No I didn't steal that quote from some review. Those are my own words. So far the first season has only 2 episodes out but OMG is it funny as shit. Talk about dysfunctional families - think the movie orange county. There is a twist on this dysfunctional family though. The mother sells weeds to the entire community. So far it has a pretty respectable cast. If the writing continues the way it has I see no reason why this wouldn't put showtime up there next to HBO in the original series battle.

It's been one week since you looked at me. Cocked your head to the side and said "I'm angry"

so its been a week since i started to seriously use my shake mix and in my first week i have to say ive been very pleased. i started out at 200 and yesterday when i left work i was 195 1/2. the first 2 or 3 days it was rough. its all about routine and getting into a new routine is never fun. i would imagine the results would be mad crazy if i jogged like 3 or 4 times a week but i will out that off until i hit a plateau of nonweight loss. i alternate days of 1 or 2 shakes. one day i will replace 2 meals with a shake and the next day i will replace one meal with a shake. the meals i do i eat i try to keep lite and healthy. snacks include yogurts, bananas, soy chips, and a cliff bar here and there (which are made with organic soy beans). healthier food =healthier heart = Nathan can live a longer more pessimistic life! =)

My search is over

I am way behind on posts lately so may go post crazy.

for some reason there is a lack of soy based shake mixes in the shake market. At last I find what I've been looking for, and sams wholesale was the lucky winner. I don't like to advertise sams b/c they are part of walmart and walmart is pure evil. Anyways - this sucker is awesome! It comes in choc, van, and straw...but I have yet to see the straw...this amazing canister was only like 13 bucks, compared to the one at albertsons that is half the size and almost the same price. I have begun replacing meals with it and hope to get my weight back down around what it was last summer. I got all the way down to 166lbs. Like 18 months ago which was prob a little too lite. I would like to get back to 175, I feel really good at that number but right now im at 200...ugh I have a ways to go. Wish me luck!
