Wearing my Crown

Let's start off by specifying that I NEVER eat fast food.  I consider it's crap (I like saying / writing that word) and that it's offensive for the body & the mind to assimilate such things.  I may sound like a new age / psycho pop pope, but I have long been into Burger King, KFC, McDonald's and their lil' brothers, and I'm glad I moved on.

But when you're hung over, you basically have to look for grease.  Your body requires it to get rid of the alchool poisoning your blood.  So this morning, when I got to work half drunk, I started mentally drooling on a Whopper.  Logically, when my lunch time came, I went down to the Eaton Center food court and ordered the un-orderable.

Just behind me in the line were two young chicks with acne problems, and a third one that was rather cute, but probably not for long.  I ate alone at a table with a view on the teenagers, reading an article on Leonard Cohen's ruin from the current MacLean's, explaining that he lost everything he had gained over the last 50 years because of the trust he had for his associates, and how he had to start all over again now - which might be good news for his fans, since he's been kinda slackin' his life away for a while now...

Paul Anka spoke to me : "It's my life - It's now or never - Ain't gonna live forever".  Damn right, Paul.

I just want to improve my chances.  I felt good / bad after I was done, but I had to hurry the fuck up back to my office before my lunch was over.  So I didn't have much time to concentrate on the "grease rush" I expected I'd feel.

Yesterday at Piknic, I was chatting with a very well preserved 32 years old babe, and she was telling me how much she hated beer bellies.  Said she even sometimes met guys who were near perfect but had bellies, and she just couldn't.  Made me wonder what my chances were with her.  Right now I'd be in a good position on her chart, no doubt, but if I Morgan Spurlocked myself for more culinar anthropology like this, on a regular basis, then I'd be litterally screwed.

Frightening perspective.
