and it starts all over again
i haven’t written anything in a while. damn, it feels pretty good. at the moment i’m not even trying to battle my peanut butter addiction. it’s so salty and sweet, and it’s the most amazing thing in the world mixed with tangy berry jam. or better yet, with chocolate. reese’s cups are one of god’s many gifts to man, much like babies and air conditioning. what a fickle dude god is. there’s always a trade-off: you eat too many reese’s, you get fat. babies might turn into bad people. and air conditioning ruins the environment. it’s like saying “here, have this delicious buttery treat, but it might send you into anaphylactic shock. you choose
“ it’s so hard to turn down the gooey, rich crunchy goodness. and we’re taught fear of punishment is stronger than the promise of reward. what bullshit. i can’t resist air conditioning on a hot day no matter what chemicals i’m breathing in.
i’ve actually been eating yogurt this whole time, with some peanut butter mixed in. i’m nearing the bottom and i’m starting to get annoyed. i really don’t want it to end. cravings are supposed to be sated, but the more peanut butter i eat, the more i want it. i swear, my taste buds must be like mini-clotirises. i’m really enjoying myself right now. in a completely different way than i was yesterday, when i was walking across the williamsburg bridge with a bottle of wine. there’s something to be said for spending time alone.

the sadder thing to me is that cravings do end, and then it feels empty where that craving was! sometimes it’s fun to dwell in that state of things being unfinished… i’m so glad you’ve started writing again. i’ve checked on here occasionally and not seen anything, and always been disappointed. it’s hard maintaining a blog–sometimes i don’t know why i am doing it… other times, i am glad i have said something, even if it seems meaningless or trite to me.
and i am glad you are surrounded by wonderful people. you are an amazing person and deserve it!
i love peanut butter too. my current favorite is an organic brand called once again. it’s just peanuts, nothing else. it’s so yum.
