fat ass.

song on ::gasp:: Windows Media Player: Ecstasy/The Ohio Players/Ecstacy


dont be alarmed. I did say Windows Media Player. I'm at work and away from my beloved PBeezy (Powerbook for the suckas). I couldnt blog last night because I was too busy having an epiphany. They usually put a halt to your day. What is this epiphany, you ask?!?!?

Junk food is disgusting!

Like, cupcakes, fries, burgers, pizza... All of it is caca. I know. I know. Crazy, right.

For those that do not know, I used to wrestle. 189/215/Heavyweight. I was usually around 210 or so. Cutting weight to 189 was hard but definitely doable in a week. My body was on point, jack. I pretty much stayed away from all the junk so that I can cut weight to 189. When I started college, I was a little scared about my body because I was not going to wrestle for the rest of my life. Wrestling WAS my workout. It kept me honest about my eating habits and my body fat. I no longer had that gauge anymore. No one was going to check my weight before and after class. I did not have to run around the school 6 times and sprint the 7th time. I did not have to go live for a hour. None of that. So I was scared, man.

So I watched what I ate. I played basketball every now and then. I ran some. I almost beat Kev once but then he turned on the jets and burnt me. lol. In high school, I would have smoked him.

But, generally, I did not usually do much. But I was definitely got bigger than I was in high school. Not fat. But my arms are bigger. I'm taller. My calfs are more defined. So, people used to be like OH CHIDI U'VE BEEN WORKING OUT!!

nah not really. It's just natural, I guess. I mean, I did things here and there to make sure I don't look like Homer Simpson but.. am i working out every day. hecky nah (c) kanye. What can I say.. I'm Nigerian.

Long story short.. I ended college at 220 lbs. 10 pounds more than I was in high school. Not bad. Not bad.

But yesterday, I started to realize... I'm 22 years old and this laissez faire approach to my body has to quit. I started to see all the junk that is all over my town, my inner city town (personally, I think it is a way to niggerize our community through chicken wings, french fries, and 40s so that we dont question shit)and it disgusted me. Why the fuck do we have chicken shacks all over Irvington/Newark? You do not see that shit in South Orange. They got a muthafuckin Whole Foods! We got Wholesale Liquors!

Do you think this is a coincedence? Hecky nah (c) Kanye. They bombard our communities with the language of junk, of disease, of disorder to stamp our foreheads with the scarlett letter of the have nots. And what do we do?

Have more chicken and pray we do not get heart disease. Cause quite frankly all that organic shit is too damn expensive. We need to do laundry. Who spends 5 dollars on a bottle of all natural juices anyway?

But on the real, we gotta find a way to strike a balance. Cause this is getting out of hand.

But I can only speak for myself.




SO..

I aint messin with that stuff no more! If I gotta travel to South Orange to get some yaca fries, then so be it. Fuck the system!

(Sorry Hing Hing, you have lost a loyal customer. lol)


Let's get this working day started, shall we...
