Amazing Things

I'm really struggling the last few days to find good news to report. I'm running out of sweet things that people do. I did just find out that Tracy McGrady, T-Mac, the shooting guard for the Houston Rockets holds a softball charity game and donates all of the money to his favorite charity. I think only like 20 people attend since African Americans aren't into baseball. Oh well, a noble effort to be sure.

Speaking of McDonalds, I think it's time everyone was aware of a new policy change they made that is actually for the better. McDonalds corporate now allows the mixing of pop when you order. For example, you can now go up to the counter and say, "I'd like half lemonade and half iced tea please." They will now make it for you where as before, they wouldn't do it. This is a HUGE improvement. I'm not sure it atones for the sins of no more biggie sized foods though. I totally agree with Andrew. What is McDonalds trying to do, keep us from ourselves? Frankly I think this whole eat healthy thing is a horrible idea ... for McDonalds. YOU ARE A FAST FOOD JOINT FOR GOD'S SAKE! YOU SERVE FAST FOOD THAT'S GOOD AND HORRIBLE FOR YOU. If I want food that's quasi-good for me, I'll stop at Sheetz and get an alfafa wrap or something. McDonald's needs to remember it's audience, or it WILL fail. Like when Oldsmobile made the Alero (I owned one) but it was a car that catered to younger kids. Last time I checked old people drived Oldsmobile cars. Bad move. You go ahead McDonalds, feed healthy people with your horrible parfaits and dry stupid salads. Watch Dave Thomas at Wendy's take over ... oh wait he died of a heart attack ...

I'm going to start a new section from time to time called things that are underrated. I think there are a few things in life that should get more face time dang it and I'm here to give it to them.

1.) Triscuits - go pick up a box and start eating them. They're darn good, just have water handy.

2.) Gummy Bears - addicting and satisfying, yet often forgotten ... more like yummy bears

3.) Street Fighter 2 - one of the reasons I'm really looking forward to moving up to Grove City is the revival of Street Fighter 2 games between Andrew and I. Forget the fact it's on the SNES, it's a kickin game.
