The Triumphant Return!

The last time I wrote something here was on Easter. Been a while. Sorry to all my readers; who am I kidding, I'm the only who reads these. I guess I shouldn't be sorry, I should apologize to the internet for taking up more... internets? 

I guess with being on summer break now I will have more time to write or whatever you call this. I've been on summer break for about a week and a half now. That whole time I've tried to think of what I can do on this blog now. I basically already got bored writing reviews of things I've read or watched lately, and let's be honest how many reviews do people need to read? I still haven't really figured out what else I want to do on here, but I've got a few ideas for some write-ups. Who knows if I'll get around to them. (I probably will I have nothing else to do right now.)

I am planning on a post either later tonight or tomorrow morning about King City by Brandon Graham from Image Comics and Tokyopop. And I've seen Avengers twice already so I think I will write something about that eventually. Then there's always a grab-bag post about random stuff I read, watched, or listened to that day. 

I've got a lot of free time now and very little things I need to do so who knows what this blog will turn into. I'm excited to see what this thing transforms into, or if it transforms at all (I don't think it will, this will eternally be my musings on popculture and random thoughts I have). So I will take any suggestions on hobbies. 

You're still reading? Uhh, well... I'm more or less spent on the stream of consciousness thing at the moment. Well here's a finding that has changed my life for the better:


Cereal. It's a big deal in my life. I think my favorite cereal is Peanut Butter Captain Crunch but that changes often depending on what is available. But some mainstays in my cereal eating are definitely Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Lucky Charms. Both of those cereals were readily available at my house growing up because Costco sold them in those giant crates. Often they were both in the cupboard at the same time and it wasn't until this year, my first year of college, my first and last year of being 19, that my eyes were opened. 

In the cafeteria they always had 5 or 6 different types of cereal. Sometimes Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Lucky Charms were there at the same time. I'm not sure which one of my friends was the first to do it, I know it wasn't me; mixing cereals went against everything I believed in. However it wasn't against my friends' paradigms. So someone on purpose or by accident mixed Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I thought they were a madman and was reconsidering our friendship. But after I was coerced into trying it, everything changed. The oats part of the Lucky Charms were edible for once! The cinnamon that was taken off the Cinnamon Toast Crunch by the milk attached itself to the Lucky Charms oats pieces. 

I haven't thought about cereal the same since. Now instead of eating the cereal for enjoyment, I am eating the cereal for research to figure out which cereals might taste good together. I haven't stumbled upon any other earth shattering (like this discovery was? Come on) mixtures worth speaking of, but I will let you know when I do.

Essentially what I'm trying to say is don't be me. Don't just do the same thing over and over again and get in a rut that forces you to keep doing the same thing. Change and grow and learn new things. You'll thank me later.

Or not, you don't have to.


Really? You're still reading? Nothing better to do today? Neither did I, that's why I wrote a bunch of words about cereal. Well if you are interested here's a list of a few posts I am either working on or doing research for (by research I mean most likely watching more TV and eating more cereal):
  • King City by Brandon Graham
  • Marvel's the Avengers: The Motion Picture Experience That Changed My Life (I added that subtitle)
  • The Vanilla Ice Project on the DIY Network
  • The beach
  • Puppies who like bubbles
  • Puppies who like paper bowls

I think that's enough. Sorry if I wasted your time, I know I wasted mine. But I had fun so does it really matter?
