Kashi Kashi Kashi

I cannot believe that I am even going to write anything about a subject such as this, but it's really going to happen.

If you have never had a bowl of Kashi cereal, I certainly recommend it. It is unbelievably healthy for you, and it tastes too good if you get the right amount of milk.

I've gotta give a shoutout to my beloved roommate James Balata, as he is the one who is responsible for getting me helplessly hooked on the phenomenon that is Kashi. When I first met the guy, all he did was talk about the damn stuff and how healthy it is for you and how it is "so good." When he first started eating it in our dorm room-which felt like for every meal and/or snack-i honestly thought it was tree bark. It sure looked like it, all different shades of brown resembling it. He consistently said he was the best thing in the world, and yet again and again I wouldn't try the stuff for fear of pooping out layers of a stump or something.

At long last, I finally gave in a tried a bowl. It was alright, nothing too special. Just didn't really taste like anything.

Then came the Go Lean Crunch. No we're talkin'. I've always been a huge fan of granola, no matter if it is little bits and pieces of it that you can put on your cereal, or just your typical granola bar, but this stuff was something totally different. It was all granola. All the time.

As I dumped milk on my second bowl (much to James chagrin as he saw his box of cereal quickly evaporate) I couldn't help but eat it as quickly as possible. Then I was hooked. It was from that moment forth that whenever James or I was having some Kashi, we gave a Kashi call. Kashi Kashi Kashi.

Walking out of my last final this past Thursday at about 3:30, I realized that I had some money left on my student ID that I needed to spend because it would not pass over into next year. The only sensible thing I could think to spend it on was some Kashi. I mean, it only made sense.

I went to CVS, purchased 3 boxes of it (2 for me, one for James just for old times sake) and a gallon of Arnold Palmer (the drink-half lemonade half iced tea, not the man) and I was satisfied. The final funds I had well spent, for sure.

Now, the other part about Kashi that is quite magnificent is how good it makes you feel. I didn't believe this either, but James had told me numerous times how it keeps you full for a long time and regulates those beloved BMs. And people, he's right. I honestly just feel better all the time now and haven't pooped this comfortably for a long time. Things just come out smoother and for me they are more regulated.

So this blog post is for you James, I miss you back here in the 937 and can't quite get used to not waking up in the bunk above you. You're the best, for many reasons, and I especially appreciate you getting me hooked on Kashi. I really hope you are enjoying working for the city and find some time to come visit me.

**Disclaimer-I still love every cereal. This post is not to deny that notion, and am about to go have a bowl of fruit loops right now as I watch the Reds and maybe game a little bit. Kashi is just something I can add to my arsenal of cereals for the rest of my life.

Oh and by the way, I'm getting a little annoyed with ESPN. Yes, I'm glad that the Mavericks won the title last night especially because LeBron did not and a legit TEAM is getting the rings but come on people. I love you to death, but can we please talk about the Mavs being the better team and not how the Heat blew it? Dallas deserves some credit, for the simple fact that they made shots all series and played great defense. Everyone keeps talking about LeBron's legacy and how it will be tarnished and all that good stuff and we all know that is going to be the case. Everyone knew that after the way it all started this year if they didn't win the title they were going to be looked down upon for not getting the job done. But they still had a good season, and their Big 3 will get it done soon. They are still in their prime. So can we please talk about how the Mavs deserve it this year? And how badass Dirk is? Thank you.

Those People Who Mr. Goodell Call 'Officials'

Hmph. That about sums about the way I feel about the National Football League at the moment. So does the rest of America, or so it seems. I guess it is a good move on my part that I did not write this post last night around midnight after I saw this happen to my beloved Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. The fact that this blatantly awful call was on national television amplifies the situation more than people realize. Through the first three weeks of this NFL season, it is no secret that the gentlemen (and lady in one instance) that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hired to work this season until the regulars get their labor situation figured out with the owners of all 32 franchises in league are just embarrassing. These officials have consistently made bad call after bad call (just YouTube NFL replacement refs bad calls and you will be able to waste a solid amount of time at work or in class shaking your head) and I think we all were just sitting around and waiting f...

My First Legal Drinking Age Post

Hello everybody, and welcome to this, my first blog post as a legal American Drinker. As some of you know, my 21st birthday indeed was yesterday, and even though this was really the only thing I had to drink last night, I still had an awesome day. While I'm assuming all of you will shake your head at me about the Smirnoff Ice, let me explain myself first. I was able to switch shifts with some of my co-workers so I could have Wednesday (my birthday) off. As a result of this, I took advantage of being old enough to drink alcohol on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. I'm told I had a great time, and surely hope that was the case because of the state my body was in yesterday. The day was rough but I suppose that's how you are meant to felt on your 21st birthday. The reasoning for the Smirnoff Ice being one of a few drinks I had yesterday is this: as is tradition at 137 East Frambes Ave. (better known as the "Incinerator") anytime it is someone's birthday and/o...

Another Realization

As I finally have found some time to sit down and write a bit (work is simply sucking my summer away from me), I can't help but mention the man who in a way sort of inspired me to start this blog in the first place, Mark Titus. He, as I'm sure many of you know is the founder of Club Trillion (you can follow his blog if you want-I do) and has christened this week Nut Up or Shut Up Week because he is doing his best to post on his blog once a day. I mention this because since my own personal blog is called the "Daily Segs" one would figure that I would post on here every single day, and for a while I did do that. During spring quarter was when I began this little beauty and vowed to write every day. I have since gotten away from that for a number of reasons. The easiest one to blame it on is the fact that I'm working 40+ hours a week at a distribution center and after leaving there it is either really late or I am exhausted or both. But the main reason (it pains me t...
