attn everyone:



that is all

stop creeping my facebook pics...

I just drank a chilled starbucks frappuccino for the first time. It was delicious, but looking at the nutrient content, I can understand why.

Really though, its still a thousand times better than soda. For one, there is about 3.5 times more caffeine in a frappuccino than a cola per oz. (this is a good thing for me, I want more caffeine) Calorie wise they are the same oz to oz. Sugar-wise frappuccino has a little over a third of the amount colas do. Also has the minor benefit of a little bit of calcium and protein.

A lot more sodium though. And it has cholesterol and fat. But still, this is probably the least healthy coffee I could drink and its still vastly better for me than the colas I drank.

So yeah, I think switching is a very good idea in my case.

lol just now dipping into the whole starbucks thing eh?

yo dietcoke (speak of the devil), that sounds awesome + i hope you'll have a good trip!! maybe say something/post pics once you've done with it, it's up to u (i'm interested in travelling as well)

Since we're talking about health:
I'm dabbling with 80/10/10 diet.  It's a raw diet where 80% of cals come from fruit, 10% from protein foods and 10% from fat foods.  So I eat shit loads of raw fruits and huge salads every night.  Here is my food log for today:

I use www.fitday.com (really cool site it's free too) to track this stuff and it gave me a list of all nutrients.  The only ones it said I was deficient in (other than b12 [i take a supplement like all vegans should] and D [I'm outside a lot during the day]) are calcium (612.1mg - RDA is 1,000mg), Selenium (25.1mcg - RDA is 55.0mg) and Zinc (7.4mg - RDA is 11mg).  I'm also low in sodium but that's not really a bad thing.  Selenium can easily be remedied by eating a Brazil nut once or twice a week.  Also, this is just for today.  I don't eat the same things every day so the numbers will be different and hopefully average out to be fine.  Also I'm pretty sure most people are deficient in one or the other anyways.[/i]

well, fructose is harder on your liver and the excess constant glucose is going to give you either hypoglycemia/diabetus or candida problems down the road. at this point i can't stand the huge spiking from fruits + you'd probably get most of nutrients from either whole foods or lots of veggies. at least read a lot about glycemic index!! i think that at least is something pr useful to all people in general, it's a little easier to plan your diet when you know whats going to drain you/spike your blood glucose up.

also great that you're taking B12 as all vegans should but take it in methylocobalamin form!!! the cyanocobalamin is a storage form and only small portion gets converted into the active form + people report problems with the cyano-one.  and yeah, people are deficient in one or other way in nutrients/minerals.

read chris kresser's website if you are interested about the whole fruits possibly not good as the main diet - thing (and i mean not in YOUR DIETS SHIT/CONVERT INTO MINE but you know, information with lots of studies included). he advocates paleo diet which he has researched well but you don't have to buy into it if you ain't eager, there's just lot of info in the site (eg the b12 i mentioned). i'd also add coconut oil (eps if you bake/fry things) and... specific brand blue fermented cod liver oil (with organic butter from grass feed pastures for ya vit D and A and B3 needs, unless you are ... lacto-ovo-vegan or something similiar then try adding K2 vitamin instead). I could give a great article about it by Weston A. Price. avoid vegetable oils like a plague and use occasionally only extra virgin olive oil on salads instead. also burn all gluten etc...

Well I disagree.  There are people who've been on this diet for 5, 10, or more years with no problems.  The author of the the book 80/10/10 diet (which I don't like btw) has been.  So has Durianrider (he eats 30+ bananas a day).  Your body's main energy source is glucose and fruit is one of the best places to get it imo.
Modern Paleo diet is bs imo as well.  Not just because lol it's not vegan but health wise.  Also, I love coconut oil and use it all the time however on this new diet i'm trying added oils aren't allowed.

technology fixed all my problems, now i'm a robot. beep.

heavy lifting is more enjoyable than sitting infron of an automated process. It's not like WOW ITS SO FUN, but it's physical work, and that releases hormones and such, makes you feel like a man. It's why all them meatheads spend fifty hours a day down the gym pumping iron in tight v-necked tshirts which are not at all camp looking. Dudes at work will get a forklift to do stuff when it's quicker to get a pump truck to pull the pallet out by hand (or if there's only a few bags of cement/concrete on it, drag it out literally by hand) because they don't want to do anything. I do it all by hand, unless I need someone to fork it away.

the idea of having everything moved for us by machines/whatever is really harmful to society, we're already becomming a blob-like species and sacrificing all of our functions in the name of convinience. With the way things are going, in two hundred years time, people will be watching Return Of The jedi and criticise Jabba The Hutt for being too thin/energetic. People just don't seem to want to do anything physical. Even changing disks during a game is a CONTROVERSIAL TASK according to the more spherical members of the gaming community.

your pipedream business is one which runs on machines and doesn't employ a workforce? That's pretty scary.

I read/draw/write music on my breaks, and allow the time at work to think of new things to draw/write/do/make, yeah lifting concrete blocks onto a shelf is hardely mentally taxing, but it allows the mind to wander, like einstein was just a patent clarke. It's not something I'm going to do forever, but it tides me over until I break through in one of my fields, or save enough to do a masters degree, all the while allowing my mind to wander, and stop me looking like a lump of jelly with glasses taped on.

man looking for good VSTs is like looking for good Game Boy Color games, it's just this wasteland with no real good advice, everything is THE MOST ADVANCED VINTAGE SOUND etc.
