wow, im one lazy motherfucker...there's about 0 (that's zero..not typo "o" as in "oh"..oh hungry, oh henry! or "o" as in oliver or "ohhh gawwwd larry, youre so well-hung and long, give it to me, daddy!" not "o". but you knew that) inspiration to do anything this semester. i think ive stated this in the past but really, i have these two midterms this upcoming week and for some reason, im not feeling the usual anxiety that comes along with writing those bastards. am i that much of a veteran by now?
whoa.

i watched a borrowed bootleg dvd version of supersize me today. ive been wanting to watch that for months and finally my wishes were answered (not that i really wished to see that; i ration my wishes). yes, it is bias but think about it, arent all documentaries bias? if you really wanted to see the real deal on whatever the subject matter is, then you should go out there and shoot your own documentary to see whats going on..oh yea...and minus your edits. other than that, from a kinesiologist's (fancy word for gym teacher with a degree) point of view, that one gets a thumbs up from me. shit, it even gets a double flexor hallucis longus on my part (imagine that)!
i remember reading some girl's review of the movie on rbj or aa when the movie first came out. she ranted on and on about how nobody eats mickey d's 3x a week for 30 days and beyond that, without exercise. well news flash you fucking idiot (girl), of course nobody eats that garbage everyday and of course nobody abstains from physical activity to the extremes that morgan does in the doc..but fuck, there are people out there who sure come close! and he addresses that too. his main objectives are to show you that:

mc donald's could do more for their customers to provide healthy alternatives
-how many people out of the billions and billions served actually order a salad when they go to mickey d's? if you go to eat junk, youre probably gonna eat junk..thats your main intent.

mc donald's is a vulture of a business
-now, i aint no business major but it doesnt take a donkey's brain at most to realize that mc donald's has their shit together from the business side. they know people demand quick, accessible, fatty & delicious food and they capitalize off of this general need by giving them what you want. simple. theyre just trying to make a dollar like the rest of us. however, what's not cool is the way mc donald's, the biggest fast food corporation on earth, oversaturates the television media with their ads and lures children into their establishments via happy meal freebies and indoor playgrounds. whats not cool is how they train kids at a very young age to associate good times with hamburgers - cause isn't that what a happy meal is supposed to do (starting from a young age) - make you happy? that's worst than the marlboro man!

the world is changing (for the worse)
-morgan's main focus in the movie is the epidemic of obesity spreading across america. this should have everyone shitting their pants as canada tends to follow suit whenever the u.s. has a certain trend or set of trends going on. and once the u.s. does it, europe follows..and eventually some parts of asia. [sidenote] remembering a 2nd year course, i was surprised to find out that asians in north america are slowly following their white and black counterparts by becoming overweight and obese. which should have you banging your head against the wall because most traditional asian diets are plant and fish-based (focussing very little towards meat), considering the resources available and that usually only the very wealthy enjoy purely meat dishes each and everyday.[end sidenote] what im saying here is that we've been taking advantage of the american diet and fattening our genetically-predisposed small and lean frames. the steamed bun has been replaced with the chicken wing and rice has often been banished from the lunchbox for white slices of wonderbread. one thing that wouldve really been dope, if included, was if he illustrated how clothing sizes have also changed since decades ago. 'smalls' arent what smalls were back then and neither are 'mediums' and 'larges'. of course we've all read the scientific literature and know that we're generally bigger than our ancestors. but that only accounts for lets say 40% of the additional growth here. sure we've grown taller with denser bones. but wider? if we've genetically adapted ourselves to allow our bodies to grow in height (which is healthy) does that necessarily mean we should increase our waist sizes 3..and sometimes 4-fold from what our great great grand-mommies and daddies measured? no. a lot of our clothing size increases have to do with overeating, the on-rise of technolocigal advances (making our lives gatdamn too easy and effortless), genetically modified and steroid-rich foods and a dramatic decrease in everyone's participation in physical activity. that's why our sizes are bigger! and what does that mean? that means we're blindly accepting the fact that it's ok to get big because really, we'll always be able to fit into our usual size - thanks to the big wigs on the top floor who run clothing standards (those mofos always accomodate our overeating with their new measurements. curse the bastards!). in addition to this 'the world is changing' heading, he touched on something that i knew already, but scared me nonetheless to hear. he noted school reform and how physical education programs are getting cut out. across the board, kids are getting lower and lower grades [for whatever reason - too much t.v., drugs, masturbation, sex etc...(insert your favourite afterschool special topic here)]. as a result, more time is being dedicated to studying and theory time so kids can absorb the content better. the downfall of this is that recess is being shortened (i.e. less moving around & getting exercise); couple this with 'less important' academic programs such as physical education is being scraped so billy or sally can take that extra hour to understand verbs and nouns. im not saying it's a bad thing to dedicate more time to studying...but flip the coin, and you'll see that im totally against scraping physical education courses - especially for kids...in this day and age (you wait school boards across the land, im gonna make a difference, you just wait and see..my fist is in the air..you just wait!). not just that either, what if i teach??? i'll be jobless in the future! then what? how am i supposed to feed my kids? how am i supposed to buy my wife those shoes she wanted to charge on my plastic (im joking here..you know "ha...ha". it's really all about health, and you know this).


"im gonna steal your motherfuckin' soul, kids!!"

k, now im just rambling at the odd hours of the morning...imma call it quits for this entry and studying tonite.
im gonna catch some ZZZZZZzzzzzzz's.

we'll continue this discussion some other time, children.
my point, watch the documentary.
it's not bad.
