grey noise

I got a 60 minute mp3 (actually it may be an mp4, but whatever) of a thunderstorm off of simplynoise.com. I normally just rock out while working, but I was looking for something to block out everything and not distract me like music sometimes can. I need to concentrate and retain.

I love rain and thunderstorms, so I thought it may be cool, but never really thought of listening to it to block out noise.

now I'm just occasionally distracted by how awesome this is and how well it works.

i guess green tea has caffeine. it's not one of those things that I'd normally run to if I want a jolt, but i drink a few cups of green or white tea daily. Today, i didnt have my usual 2 cups white or green tea and maybe a 3rd by 12 and i had a monster headache.

drank a green tea and boom! headache gone.

I don't really like being dependent on caffeine, or anything else for that matter. Caffeine-aholics are just low-level junkies in my book, now I'm one.

mcdonalds is trying to convince us that it's now OK to eat chicken for breakfast.

i'm all for eating meat, so i've got no problem with the radio re-affirming my delicious choices and culinary superiority, but let's analyze some reasons this is messed up.

1. chicken. as opposed to:
   1a. deep fried dough drenched in sugar sauce?
   1b. sugar and marshmallows floating in milk?
   1c. cinnabon.
   1d. nothing

  wait, I think they're talking about the nice traditional American breakfast of eggs, bacon and toast with a side of fresh squeezed orange juice. fork and a knife next to the plate. silly you though! what are you going to use the knife for? you have a butter knife on the butter plate and you know you wont cut the bacon. Oh well. the presentation was nice at least.

2. chicken for breakfast isn't weird. especially deep fried on a biscuit. which brings me to main main point...

3. this commercial is running in Atlanta. Know what else is in Atlanta and has been for years? Billboards with giant fake cows with cans of paint and terrible spelling/grammar on them convincing us to buy chicken for breakfast.

round these here parts chic-fil-a will be known for chicken biscuits until. just until. probably until our nation competely implodes. chic-fil-a will be one of the final buildings around and high school kids will still be lined up at 6:30 on Friday mornings to get a biscuit and be seen at the chic-fil-a before they head to the place where there used to be a school. used to be. it got foreclosed.
