cris mandia (based on nothing)

i went for a walk in the canyon today. it's behind my house and filled with a bunch of shit. old TV's, shopping carts, tires, and the such.

a little lake is down at the bottom. forms from run off, i guess. it's all green and dead looking. no frogs. no fish. maybe some skeeters. 

half the canyon is covered in spineless (for the most part) cacti. 

yes, i said 'cacti.'

i used to cut off the cacti and feed it to my tortoise. now, i just buy romaine lettuce.

chuck it in his pen every once in a while.

and since we're on the topic of food - lets talk binges.

as in, food binges.

i go through stages. stages in which i eat/drink/smoke a certain product for a couple months, then get completely disgusted by it.

strange.

let's see, there was:

coke zero;

healthy choice ice-cream bars;

99cent store turkey chili;

99cent store sugar free wafers;

dryers non-fat ice-cream;

big red soda pop;

pumpkin seeds;

werthers original hard candy;

diet coke;

lentils;

pita bread pizza;

black olives;

peach flavored diet snapple;

macanudos mini-cigarillos;

baked doritos;

baked cheetos;

goats cheese;

vegetarian pita w/bean sprouts;

wild cherry slurpees;

cherry Icee;

and most recently - banana slurpees.

thats about all i got right now. thanks for the read.
