Gotta love those sammies!

Quiznos is so much better then Subway! I used to think subway was the greatest thing ever, what with their five dollar footlong deals (it sounds catchy, too). But I was wrong. I went to Quiznos the other day (for the first time! I've been missing out!), and they have five dollar deal subs too! Now, I don't really know the actual size of their subs, but who measures their subs in inches anyways??? Plus, I really wouldn't group their "value" subs in the same category as Subway's meagre offerings. Subway has their regular cold cuts, turkey, and meatball marinara sub (which is good, but very messy) on their value menu. Wow, Quiznos has got it all, and more! The two subs that caught my eye were the Cheddar Beef sub, and Roast Beef Peppercorn... Something like that at Subway would've put me out close to ten bucks, I'd say. Anyways I purchased the large roast beef peppercorn for five bucks, and it was really much, much better than anything I've had at Subway, ever. It was like... layers of hot (prepared fresh) roast beef, smother in peppercorn sauce with caramelized onions and mushrooms... Wow. Plus, the Quiznos subs themselves are a lot softer and nicer to eat. Subway's subs are hard as a rock. Too bad there aren't any Quiznos near my school... I'm sure they'd make a fortune.

Cheers!

For People like Me

I really need to stop lying around doing nothing. I usually find myself in front of the television flipping channels, and soon enough I find myself watching the shopping channel. Almost everyday I see a new product that claims to help you lose weight through a complex and often confusing daily regimen of pills, mix-in-your-drink powder, and other sketchy medicines. I certainly would not want to lose weight in that way! But the other alternative is working out; I'm not a very diligent or committed person, and I'm pretty sure I would be wasting money by buying a YMCA membership. I think the best solution would be some sort of procedure that naturally reduces your appetite, letting you slim down over time without any medicines or rigorous workout regimens.

Conroe Lap-Band Surgery by Richard E. Collier, MD, is just that kind of solution for people wanting to lose weight. The procedure involves a series of tiny, non-invasive incisions on the patient wherein Richard E. Collier can proceed with a proven Lap-Band surgery to help reduce one's appetite. Using laproscopic technology, they will implant a silicon band around the patient's upper stomach, so as to naturally reduce one's appetite, and hopefully, their weight! If I were in need of slimming down, I would most certainly take a good look at this revolutionary and safe Lap-Band procedure. Plus, Dr. Collier has over 31 years of surgical procedure, so I know I'm getting nothing but the best in weight-loss surgery when I use Conroe Lap-Band.

Cheers!

Swirling eddies

It warmed up a bit today. All around the snow is melting and forming pools on the cement and road. The big banks of snow that have bordered my driveway for the past month are starting to thaw and shrink, and pretty soon, I'm sure, spring will be upon us. This winter has been a cold one so far, and I really do hope it warms up soon so I can stop wearing thick sweaters and furry jackets.

I'm listening to Sunday Morning by K-OS right now. My school is having a battle of the bands soon, and I'd love to see someone do this song. I wish I could do this myself, but I don't play any of the instruments in that song nearly well enough to go on stage without making a fool of myself. I wish I had picked up bass when I was a kid... gotta turn that bass wayyyy up!!!

Here we go...

If you want to own me
I am not concerned
If you follow me
I know that I can learn
You might be the greatest thing I've ever seen
All I know is music
All, All I've ever known..

Cheers!

Happy Chinese New Year!

I read an article in the Jan 17th edition of the Toronto star about this revolutionary new product called "Mind Aerobics", created by The New You Enterprises. This new technology - apparently based off of extensive research studies undertaken since the seventies - plays a certain "carrier frequency" as you listen to a CD or tape of soothing nature and instrumental music. These special frequencies are supposed to stimulate your brain into one of three different wave states - alpha, theta or delta. Apparently, in the lives of people like us, our brains are constantly in the beta wave state; that is, one side of our brain (left or right) is dominant over the other, and so we feel stress and anxiety. When our two brain-halves work together, they claim, we will experience greater peace of mind and a sense of well-being. The alpha state is one of relaxed focus. Seems ironic eh? But apparently, the CD can put you into this state of "light meditation" in which you will be relaxed, yet have the capacity to focus intensely on the task at hand. The other two states, theta and delta, are even deeper levels of meditation, where one reaches and communicates with the "collective unconscious", the sort of thingy-thing where the unconscious thoughts, feelings and emotions of all manking meet and manifest themselves in energy that we feel while in this state. The whole point of this new technology is to allow people to reach states of relaxation and concentration that normally wouldn't be accessible except through ten to fifteen years of intense training in the ancient art of meditation. These tracks also claim to be able to"Stimulate the creation of new neural pathways between the right and left hemispheres of your brain, balancing your brain and leading you to a high-performance state scientists call "whole brain functioning"…", among other things.

Companies like The New You Enterprises have created CD series such as "Mind Aerobics" that they say will help people get to these kind of, psychedelic, chill-out sort of states of mind. When I heard this, it seemed like a bunch of rubbish. It is a well known fact, however, that these brain states - beta, alpha, theta and delta - do in fact exist (I actually went to this place once where they actually put sensors on my head and measured these waves), and that chemicals like endorphin (that this Holosync technologies claims to be able to induce creation of) act as natural pain-killers and stress relievers. So I thought to myself, "Wouldn't it be just amazing if I could just chill out for once, just by listening to this CD?" And so, I just had to get myself a copy of these mystical soundtracks for myself. I originally wanted to get Mind Aerobics, but I realized that there are several other companies out there that market the same Holosync technology tracks. And so, I settled on the Holosync (by Centerpointe Research Institute), mostly because it showed up higher on the Google search than Mind Aerobics.

If you'd like to find out how to*get* a copy of these tracks for yourself, leave me a comment and I will try to help you out.

Cheers!

p.s. Haven't really tested these out yet, will write again when I have. Hopefully it works =P

"I am innocent of this man's blood; you will see."

Wrong as this may be, I found this video to be absolutely hilarious. With all those stories and videos of kangaroos viciously kicking and punching at hikers, zookeepers and simply people who walk to close for their liking, I didn't feel too bad when I first saw this video. Of course I do not in any way condone this kind of behaviour... In fact, I think the dude is now being hunted by the aussie police or something like that. Anyways, go ahead, watch the video, and maybe you'll laugh as hard as I did when I first saw it.

Who doesn't love Free Stuff!

So I was looking around today for something to do and I stumbled across this site called Winzy. It's really just like any other search engine, but with a name like Winzy, you know something is up. I looked around and I found that after registering an account with Winzy, you can win prizes and points by searching with their search engine? How cool is that!

I really can't say how many times I Google search in a day, so using this search engine instead wouldn't be a great change of habit for me. The only thing that would change is that with every search, I have a chance to win an Amazon gift card, an iPod nano, or whatever else they have in their sweepstakes. Each search (up to fifty per day) also gives me two points, which are sort of like raffle tickets that are drawn each quarter.

Hopefully using this new search engine I can get some free stuff soontimes =)
