craving...

so distracted right now... should probably go to sleep, but i have a sudden urge to go for some evil drive-thru food. the 24-hr. Taco Hell is less than a ten minute drive and there's even a 24-hr. Burger King within five minutes of my house. lessee, i could also go to 7-11 for some frozen chimichangas OR the Denny's about a block further for the Moons Over My Hammy sandwich.

of course, i know that this is all so bad...especially late at night and not long before bedtime. yaaaah! and why the craving?!? i have tons of food in the fridge and oodles of cans, but they're so tame. it would take a lot of real food to do the damage of one Double Whopper w/ Cheese. remember when you could get the Ultimate Cheesburger at Jack in the Box? it was 1300 calories and 57 grams of heart rendering fat...mmmm.

i long for the days when i would go to Taco Smell w/ my college roommate, Scott, and we would see how much we could eat in one sitting for $10 (11 items was my limit)...when my friend, Duc, and I would go to Pizza Hut for their $2.99 lunch buffet and down 10 slices and 2 salads...visits to Crack In the Box for fried tacos (2 for $1), Jumbo Jacks w/ cheese, and a fudgy brownie...going to Piccolo's on Monday nights for their all-you-can-eat Spaghetti nights (i think it's $5.99 now) w/ Antonio and Jeff and getting four plates each...or going to buffets and eating for 90 minutes straight...ahhh, getting a dozen tacos al pastor, two horchatas, and a bowl of consomé de borrego (goat soup) at El Rincón Brujo (Warlock Corner) in Villahermosa, Mexico.

so what happened? no, i did not have a major coronary in the middle of my third chili dog w/ cheese... lessee here: i graduated from college...there are few Pizza Hut (sit-down) restaurants anymore...Crack In The Box went out of business in CO and NM...Antonio and Duc moved away...Jeff did a modified Atkins, lost 70 lbs., and eats better now (PUNK!)...my girlfriend is a sane eater...haven't been back to that part of Mexico in a few years...and i got older and a little less active (but i'm 6'0" and still 180 lbs).

truth hurts, don't it? i guess i'll just go upstairs, drink a gallon of water, and wet the bed. nah, my car keys and wallet are right here...seeya! btw, did you want anything while i'm out ;)
