Joe, a loyal disciple

I took a shot at quitting soda, specifically my Mountain Dew/Pepsi addiction. It’s not so much a soda addiction as it is a caffeine addiction and this is what I’ve come to terms with:

Rather than explain for an hour about caffeine, Just read: Wiki Page

After a week of being off soda it’s come to my attention it’s a waste of time. To quit doing something I love to do, with such a short lifespan, it doesn’t seem worth it. Drinking 3 liters of soda a day, well, that too isn’t worth it. Too much soda will become the death of me, too little and I get pissy. Drinking about 750grams of sugar a day catches up hardcore, (middle weight), and having no sugar makes me really really fucking sleepy.

Compromise Part 1:

I am not quitting soda, It tastes good, goes down smooth and is fucking refreshing. Am I cutting back? Yes, and a lot. A few glasses a day or a 20oz or 2 at most. Sure there’s other things out there to drink, healthier items blah blah blah. Yeah, but they’re not soda are they? Ever heard of “Eat this, Not that?” LINK HERE In one of his posts he mentions, “Don’t get french fries, get apple crisps instead!” If I’m in a restaurant ordering french fries, I want french fries. I do not want some alternative that isn’t french fries. So why would I want to avoid soda when I want soda?

A Problem Approaches!:

“Drink diet soda! It’s like real soda with no calories!” One: No, it’s disgusting, diet Dew tastes like poorly flavored water. Two: Fake sugar is worse than real sugar (See: Splenda Exposed). Cane Sugar > High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) > Splenda. Either way, The problem here is that Cane Sugar soda, as seen with Pepsi/Dew Throwback, tastes too sweet. Normal Pepsi/Dew has HFCS, which, if isn’t burnt off, will add the pounds. Diet Pepsi/Dew contains Splenda or Aspartame, both of which can cause chemical harm to the body.

Compromise Part 2:

Drink Soda in the morning. Most health experts will tell you, “never touch soda again you fat fuck.” However, most of them agree, if you’re going to drink soda, drink it 6-8 hours before you go to sleep. This gives your body time to burn it off and, well, “release” it. Soda really is only effective in the morning/early afternoon when I need that kick start my day.

Solution:

Drink less soda. Less caffeine will help with memory and keep me off edge, even though A non-psychotic Joe isn’t really Joe. Less sugar means less middle weight and less of a crash, (crash is from sugar, not caffeine, true story).

Sure my attempt to quit soda was a failure, but there’s a valid solution out there and since I decided to go back to soda today, I’ve only had a single glass, it’s not like I’m binge drinking.

Thanks for the time,

Toyota has been thrown under the bus for the recent accelerator issue. Testers for Toyota have testified stating that in all the vehicles they’ve tested they have failed to recreate ANY issue reported by victims of the “Accelerator” problem. This is obviously a conspiracy, wait, can conspiracies be obvious? Either way here’s the common trends of recent:

Toyota has hid safety issues in the past and has had several recalls!
So has the Big 3. Click for: FORD CHEVY DODGE

19 people have died because of this!
Out of nearly 4.25 million vehicles.. that’s still only a 1:210526 chance, Also known as a “Freak Accident” …More people die everyDAY from drunk driving than 8 years of Toyota “problems.” see: Drunk Driving Statistics

Basically what I’m getting at here is that the government is stepping in to bitch out Toyota, fine them and potentially throw them in probation. Now to be fair, Ford Chevy and Dodge have been bitched at for safety over the years, but it’s never been this public, never been this big of a deal or problem in the past for any auto company, so why is this one so big?

Here’s why, it’s because it’s Toyota. Toyota, the foreign car company and top rated car company in satisfaction AND safety in America is taking over. Ford, Chevy and Dodge can’t compete with them and it was extremely obvious, Toyota never needed a bailout. The government is stepping in because the Big 3 still owe them money and the government wants it back. So along comes the perfect opportunity to throw Toyota under the bus, their first major recall since the auto bailouts. Ford recently had a switch issue that caused fires which forced them to recall 4.5million vehicles. Did you even hear about that, much less the 2 days it was a considered an “issue”? Didn’t think so.

The government wants it’s auto companies to succeed, they want ours to be the most perfect bestest ever oh mai gawd joo need to buy a Ford rye nau!!! No, Toyota’s that are shipped in overseas are taxed and the government makes bank on those tariffs, then again on the sales tax. As for the Toyota’s made in America, THEY’RE KEEPING US EMPLOYED.

So why the big fuss, why throw Toyota under the bus? They make the government money, they keep Americans employed, (the Big 3 obviously can’t, [insert taxpayer bailout here] ), and again, Toyota’s are the tops in customer satisfaction and safety. In other words, I can’t see a reasonable excuse to throw Toyota under the bus, beside the fact the US government wants to prove they have larger cocks than Toyota. They’re Japanese, we already win that by default.

The government needs to shut the fuck up about this and all Americans need to calm the fuck down. Toyota’s are still safe, all “accidents” were freak accidents and were more than likely user error, (Kids and their cellphones I tell you what!). One issue was about “sudden acceleration in a 2007 Lexus ES 350,” It has 272 horses under the hood, the guy probably is used to driving a Ford with half the power, it’s called accommodate your power and learn to drive dipshit.

Every goddamn American rides the fucking bandwagon on everything and for once we need to stop and think about shit for once. Not everything is as black and white as the news makes it, they’re as biased as you, now shut the fuck up and calm the hell down.

Thank you.

The U.S. is about to beat the number 1 team in the world in a ConFed Cup match… God Damn.

So I’m getting off of 3 straight 30 hour weeks and going into one more with 32 hours next week. Oh and by the way, I’m still in school full time. In other words, I have no time to do ANYTHING. I work, sleep, go to school, work, sleep, go to school, repeat. I need some Joe time, and I really really need a vacation.

California, you’re on my list.
Bahamas too…
Possibly Europe…

I bought me a watch today. Sexy
Fossil, black ion-plated. Sexy.

Also, a new pair of Hugo Boss pants. Sexy
I’ve been working too much. Sexy
But tomorrow’s a well deserved day off. Sexy

I didn’t sleep well last night.
Dinner party was good, the chili was incredible
But I didn’t really get to sleep.
I kept waking up, had a lot on my mind,
and ended up missing class today.
Whatever, I have all my work caught up on
and I’ll be back in class Friday,
but for now, I’m going to shower and
go to bed. Goodnight.

There isn’t a chance in hell I’m leaving Photogenic, but I really need a second job. No places have been hiring and my attempts at finding jobs through the internet have been futile. But there is a ray of hope. One of Kristina’s co-workers Geda works at a dependable cleaners, and one is hiring, so I sent in an application to them with her as my reference and hopefully I’ll be hearing from them soon.

Other than that, nothing really new to report.

Only confusing things confuse people.

An example of this is how piles of shit retarded fucks can post videos that suck dick on Newgrounds and have them be saved because they have a “posse.” I voted to get at least 7 videos tonight the fuck off the site, but no, they are saved because some twat fucks have a posse to help each other out.

I do not understand why anyone would stand behind things that are so retarded and pointless.

Like gang fighting. I seriously do not understand how people can seriously have gang fights. I mean sure, “I’m better than you,” is a classic fight thing, everyone always wants to be better than everyone else. “This is my territory,” is the same, sure you want your own kingdom, but seriously, you don’t own shit unless you bought it yourself. You want to control a whole city block or street? Then you better fucking own everything on it and not just say something that you think is yours is yours, when it clearly is not. Fucking stop the retarded shit and grow the fuck up.

I’m confused, and I’d like to go on…

But now it’s over.
