A New Diet

These last few weeks have been tough on me. Only because I love food and all different kinds. With my stomach problems I've been pretty much limited to white bread, potatoes and other bland things of the sort. This will likely go on for at least another week. In the mean time, I'm finding all sorts of new ways to eat white bread.

This has also been a weird experience for me because for the first time I feel old. Growing up I never had any health issues except for the occasional bout of flu that lasted no more than a few days. Now it's one thing after another and it's a month or more. It's like I'm no longer invincible like I was a few years ago. It also made me realize I need to take better care of myself when I'm not ill. It's like an athlete in the offseason; he still has to work out and eat right and train. Hopefully when I get back to near 100 percent I'll be able to start doing that.

On a side note, I watched Casino Royale tonight. You know, the newer James Bond flick. I'm a little behind on it but all I heard was how it was a great comeback for Bond. While Craig is superior to Pierce Brosnan and is probably the best Bond since Sean Connery and the character is far more believable as a ruthless hitman, it still suffers from the attempt to make Bond a cool guy rather than develop a good story. I like to dislike bad guys in movies, and little was done to make me dislike the bad guy. There were a lot of bad guys too. Too many. And I don't even know who the REAL bad guy was supposed to be. It really makes me wonder why Bond movies continue to be written. A far better movie that I recently watched was 3:10 to Yuma. It's worth a watch.
