Behold!  The Hardee's Monster Burger!  Weighing in at 1420 calories (no decimal) and 107 g (yes, over twice the daily value of) fat, this monstrosity consists of "1/3-pound slabs of all-Angus beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered sesame seed bun!"  The mighty king of the big-burger world sits tall at a "whopping 2 1/2 inches tall inside a box."  Sure, SOME may consider it "corporate irresponsibility for a major chain to peddle a 1,420-calorie sandwich," but others say that "there's nothing really wrong with counting the occasional juicy burger among life's simple pleasures."  Too timid?  Or your stomach isn't quite that big yet?  Well!  Why not "have a stick of butter instead. That has only 800 calories and 88 grams of fat. We could always wrap it in bacon."  Presenting the one and only, MONSTER BURGER!!!

College!  I know, I know, it's been a while since I've updated.  But, as you may not know, I update only when procrastinating.  So I've got two hundred pages that I have to summarize today, and take notes on.  On top of that, I should start a writing assignment, but that's not happening today.  That's what inspired me to update.  That, and my Katie's renewed pledge of updations to her own Xanga.

Life here at Michigan is fun.  Props to my friends here for being my friends (I know it's a challenge sometimes ).

Um, I'm bored of writing in here already...so I'll see you next weekend.  OH WAIT!  I WON'T, BECAUSE I'LL BE HOLDING MY KATIE IN MY ARMS!  HAHAHAHA!!!!  But I'll see you around anyway.  Haha, I'm remembering why I don't like doing my Xanga...
