sandwiches are life.

So, after a good chunk of time doing the Quiznos thing sophomore year, ive moved on to Subway. work there is pretty decent and tolerable, and we get free lunch sandwiches. Why stay with the sub industry, you might ask. I don't know. i must naturally gravitate towards jobs that involve scrutinized food processing and floor mopping and dish washing. i will say, though, that im starting to doubt the whole Jared advertisings. i mean, ive been eating these sandwiches for more than a week, and i really dont feel any slimmer. in fact ive been sorta gaining weight. perhaps they compare fast foods to subs, in which case there may be some benefits, but going from plain homemade chinese food to italian breads, mayonaise smotherings and meat slices, not to mention the chips and sodas... Houston, we need a diet.

Summer has also turned out to mean lots of down time to watch cable TV. Some of my new favorite haunts have been MTV's Made and 10 Years Younger. Both of these shows emphasize the importance of outward appearance in relation to self-confidence, and also, of taking initiatives to change yourself. Which brings me dangerously close, once again, to the "hmm how should i reshape my image for the next year," kind of thoughts and goal setting. As far as outward appearance, i realize that my style and grooming could use some improvement, but i dont feel as bad off as those middle aged women who dress in really baggy and tired clothes. i mean, i purposely wear t-shirts, and purposely have have some worn and raggedy things, because i like the look. I appreciate the youthful and carefree air that it eminates, like you just got done exploring a forest or something, i dont know. but i suppose that kind of look will become less and less appropriate as the years accumulate for me, and soon il have to wear make up and go for shopping sprees. i can, however, attribute some blame, or explanation, whatever, to my spending habits. Shopping for a whole new wardrobe for me, would be like eating glass. or atleast cutting off a finger. spending that much money at once just doesnt come naturally. ah one last thing. when they give the ppl (on the show) new clothes to wear that are supposedly more feminine and neat, i wish at least, that the show hosts could help them retain some remnants of their personality. all the new clothes that they get look the samee! or maybe personality doesnt come from the clothes themselves, but from the person, and how the person wears the clothes. yay moral extraction from the materialistic world.
