i did not, in fact die.

although it has been a great deal of time indeed since i have posted anything, i am happy to report that i am indeed living. that is essentially the only thing i can report that will be following under that category of happy.

if you have been faithful to read the rest of my posts, first of all i would like to point ant laugh at you for having nothing better to do and second, i am sure you will recall that i was attempting to lose fifty pounds in one hundred and fifty days so that i would be all sexy and whatnot by the time i left for germany. as i am sure you have gathered what i am about to say, i will be blunt so as not to make you feel foolish. i have not come even a smidgen close to completing this goal. as always, there is a story.

as the end of another school year rolled to a halt, i began seeking summer employment. to my joy, i was able to pull some strings and smack a few people around and secured two jobs for the summer. one, was a job as a counselor at a daycamp. this was to be a short lived job for the month of july only. i would be on my feet and working all day so there would be little worry of eating too much. however, life always has a way of making me fat so i also got a job at Dominos as a pizza delivery expert. (their words, not mine. a monkey could do my job, it certainly does not require any amount of expertise) i assumed i would be allowed a discount and have no access to pizza free of charge and i was partly right. i indeed got a discount and am still not allowed to take food for free. however, working with the less than competent crew i am a part of has certain consequences.

whenever an order is mussed and cannot be given to the customer, it falls to the employees of Dominos pizza to properly dispose of the unsuitable pizza. this means a fat heard of obese individuals attacks the stack of pies and gains eight pounds in the meantime. also, Domino's is in the habit of trading food with other local businesses providing the employees with a second supper.

in addition to the copious pizza i have been consuming, my schedule being erratic as it is, i have taken to shoveling food in at every non-busy moment, not knowing when my next free second will be. all in all my life has taken a downturn in food quality. more to come, hopefully somewhat better
