Something that’s really funny to me is when someone tells me something, I disagree (and in fact, i am 100% sure that i’m correct)……but then at a later time I find out that I was wrong….

Here’s an example:

I’m on a diet throughout the year.  Most of the year i’m dedicated to not following this diet (or gym schedule) one bit….however, I still like to eat “healthy” as often as possible…..

One of the key ways that I try to keep my weight down is by eliminating sugar from my diet.  No soda.  No candy.   I have a TON of other junk but I try to keep soda and sugar out of my diet.  I TRY keeping bread away too, but it doesn’t work out all the time.

back to my story….

I used to vehemently argue the fact that Equal was the best sugar substitue.  I mean….Sweet N Low just tastes like rat poison…..of course i’ve never tasted rat poison but i would imagine that it tastes the same.

But now I have this amazing gift (from god????)—Splenda.

And so, the other day, I told my mom that “oh my god, Equal is horrible”

That’s all they have at work….no splenda 
and she was like “see, i told you so!! Equal is horrible”

But Splenda….wow.
And it tastes SOOOO freaking good.
I like Splenda.
It’s sweet.
Splenda makes me horny.
And Splenda makes me smile.

Let’s face it

You and I could never be.

there’s these fleeting moments of perfection in my life.
it’s happened throughout my life….

what can i say?–i guess i have a
history of perfection.

i might be walking.
i might be watching tv.
i might be at a concert.
i might be reading.
i might be on the train.
i might be listening to music.
i might be writing stuff.
i might be talking w/ a friend.

sometimes i felt that way in high school
sometimes i felt that way in college
sometimes i felt that way after college
and surprisingly….
sometimes i still feel that way.

but eventually…always….
things feel PERFECT for only so long
and then they’re eventually not perfect.  nothing is wrong with
imperfection.  cuz i’m far from having no faults….but some faults
aren’t really faults so much as they are “quirks” and “issues” …..i
have a lot of issues, and even more quirks.  and if you really want to
know the truth….i can be pretty selfish sometimes.  self-absorbed.
self-conscious.  self-hating.  but once in a while, everything feels….

perfectly perfect.

Somewhere there is somebody waiting to break my heart again

And it’s been so long I feel like I’m ready to let them

And who knows…maybe I’ll surprise myself

And who knows…maybe you’ll be surprised by me.

I’m a realist when I forget to be anything else

So let’s invent a new lie we can build upon for ourselves.

And then show me the brighter side.
