Mini-blog 5: Pop-Tarts

So this morning, while getting ready to head out the door for class, I was feeling hungry and since I was in a hurry I decided to just toss a Pop-Tart into the toaster and be on my way. I was thinking back to other times I had a Pop-Tart for breakfast and I realized that I always felt dissatisfied and even a bit empty. "Why don't I just cook two of 'em, stack 'em, and eat both of 'em at once? Hurraaayy!" So popped in to, fast forward 60 seconds, and I'm out the door with my Pop-Tart sandwich.

I was so satisfied with myself for my novel idea. Why hadn't I thought of this before?! I exclaimed in my mind. I took my first bite, and it was a full mouthful of strawberry Pop-Tart the likes of which I had never experienced before. I took my second bite, and Wait...ugh....I swallowed it down and took another and Ugh, yeah, I don't like this. This is too much.

As I get to the bus stop and wait, I have about 1/2 of my Pop-Tart sandwich left. I felt a bit determined to just finish it since it was my breakfast, which I rarely ever eat. I could feel the artificial sugary mush in my stomach and what was left of my last bite in my mouth.


I tossed it. lol. So lesson learned: Too much of a good thing is really awesome. Too much of an awesome thing is just really really stupid though.... Though, technically I already learned this lesson back when I was frustrated with the tiny amount of liquid able to pass through my Capri-Sun straw straw. Oh well. Third time's the charm?

Mini-blog 4: Random Thoughs

Anybody else get that strange shiver when they go pee? I wonder what that is. My physiology teacher from high school thought it could be because the body is reacting to the large amount of warmth leaving the body but, I don't know, it seems like it could be something else too. Any thoughts?

Or how about that muscle twitch/spasm that you can never see or catch in the mirror? Do you know what I'm talking about? Like, for me it occurs mostly when I'm changing clothes. For example, I'll be take off my shirt and without warning my Deltoid muscle will be twitching repeatedly, seemingly on a beat. And when I turn my head to look at head, it stops. Probably most infamous is the butt-cheek-twitch lol (I hope I'm not alone in this!) Ever have that? Where you can feel a butt cheek twitching? It happens to me when I'm changing, and when I try to catch it in the reflection of my mirror, whether very slow and cautiously or immediately, it just dies. Rarely have I ever caught a twitch and been able to watch it spasm out of my control. Some day...

What is it about Chai Tea Latte's that make them taste like Christmas? Know what I'm talkin' bout?

Mini Mini-Blog: Strange Reality 2

Really, Nature? Really???

How messed up is that? Parasites that cause snails to commit suicide...

Just goes to show that humans are among Nature's most insane inventions too.

Mini-blog 3: Strange Reality

*UPDATE 3/8/10: Fixed the links :P

Nature sure is weird. So weird in fact, sometimes I wonder just what the hell it's thinking as it invents these things.

*Apologies in advance, for some reason blogspot isn't letting me link to the sites I have here. Copy and paste the addresses for now :\

A bird with a smiley face.

What's possibly stranger is that it's name is Superb Bird of Paradise (though, that's a stupidity committed by humanity).

These plants look like they came straight out of Super Mario World.

Mega Cows

These cows have a naturally occurring mutation that gives them double the muscle.

This parasite gets in a fish's mouth, atrophies it, and replaces its tongue. No joke.....a parasite designed to straight up crawl into a fish's mouth and replace it's tongue....

This spider doesn't look too weird, now, right?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traumatic_insemination
BUT, this particular species of spider reproduces basically through what we call "rape." This spider pierces the female's abdomen with its penis and impregnates her that way.


WTF Nature? What's wrong with you?

..cept maybe the muscle thing, that could be kinda cool.

Mini-blog 2: Pringles

How do you eat Pringles? It seems the normal way is to place the chip so that it conforms with your tongue. But, I eat it so that the flavored side is placed down on my tongue. I mean, it seems like a no brainer to me. You can't taste the flavors if you eat it the "normal" way! Iono. Ridiculous.

Mini-blog 1: Capri Sun

How annoying is it while drinking Capri Sun that you can’t get as much juice as you want while drinking through that damn straw??? However, that’s probably for the best; in my frustration with my inability to get the tasty juice from the shiny, foil-y bag, I once squeezed my Capri Sun into a glass. Satisfied with my victory over Capri Sun, I drank triumphantly. Or, it would have been triumphant, if I didn’t then realize that Capri Sun, taken in amounts larger than the thin straw can allow, tastes significantly less tasty and more water-y. Stay vigil with the straw, my friends, and don’t succumb to pouring it into a glass.
