The Stoned Intellectual

Just wanted to reblog this. I was going to write about it, but… It speaks for itself.

Don’t forget about FREE RITA’S WATER ICE ON THE 20th!

For the seasonal opening of Rita’s water ice, you can go and get a free water ice, for FREE! Lol. I feel like that’s very worth it, if there’s a Rita’s near you. Write it on your calendar, or set a reminder timer for it or something. Lol. Rita’s has made giving free water ice a tradition, and has been doing it for 9 years.

Anywho, here’s the website, so you can look at the yummy flavors until then!

I just thought this was interesting. Maybe that’s saying something about us!

Here’s the original article, so you can read it, before hearing my opinion about it.

There is nothing truer than this article!

Honestly, If you read it, and you’re a blogger, you probably agreed to one of the points it made. I can fully attest that I am a crazy blogger, I have friends with PTSD that blog about that, I mean… Think about it.

If you could say anything you wanted semi-anonymously, without fear of repercussions or being taken away to a loony bin, YOU’D HAVE ALL OF THE CREATIVE FREEDOM IN THE WORLD!

You can just let the crazy flow onto the page! I have quiet a few views that are anything but the norm, and on here, I can talk about it.

And who’s to say what “crazy” is anyway. Just because someone’s a tree-hugging hippie with extreme ecological ideals doesn’t mean they’re crazy. Or any different from the next schmuck walking down the street. Those people might have the world in common, minus their ideas of proper Earth care. Who’s to say the guy with the “normal” ideas isn’t crazy? I hope I got some people thinking. :)

Thanks for reading, and let the crazy flow!

MY STEP MOTHER IS MAGIC! That’s What I Learned Today!

Today, My step-mom taught me about couponing. I believe she has convened with the Devil, for magical deal finding powers.

Today, she took me grocery shopping, and got me milk, cereal bars, a pork roast, chicken breasts, brats, corned beef, strawberries, cabbage, salad, soap, spices, and a few others things for ONLY $16!!

I was amazed. By splitting the purchases into two transactions, she used the Catalina coupon (4 $5 coupons) to pay for the meat, which she also had a coupon for. She had a coupon for everything we bought, and for the quality and amount of food she bought, I’m amazed at the price.

Save your coupons, buy a Sunday paper, Get coupons online, only buy things when they’re on sale and you have a coupon, and stock pile some things. You’ll save crazy money.

I was going to use this as my What I Learned Today, but I decided it would be my rant, because it didn’t require much learning. It’s just common sense.

There isn’t much effort in being a “healthy” stoner. I only have a few guidelines I think should be followed. Most of these are applicable for when you’re dry, also.

1. SNACK HEALTHY! You know what I mean. Put the Doritos down! Make yourself some toast with peanut butter, or have some grapes, carrots, or peanut butter and apple slices. Want something savory? Have some precooked chicken in the fridge. Don’t make ramen. Reheat some left overs from dinner the night before.
2. MODERATION! This is applicable for most anything. Look at serving sizes and read labels, before scarfing down a whole package of cookies. Sure, you can have a cupcake, but don’t add other unhealthy things to the mix. Have a cupcake and a hand full of a fruit or veggie you like.
3. HYDRATION IS KEY! The average adult is dehydrated. Smoking pot doesn’t help that. If you’re thirsty, drink. But put down the sodas and juices. Even diet sodas. They have so much sodium in them. Drink a glass of water, or invest in some Myo. It’s a sugar free water flavor thing. It’s yummy, and it doesn’t add a ton of sodium. Adults are supposed to drink at least 8 16-oz glasses of water a day.
4. GO OUTSIDE! Sure, it sounds fun to sit in on the computer, play video games, or watch TV, but get moving! Go outside! Go take a walk to the lake, a few blocks away. Go wander a street with a lot of stores on it, and go in every store. Get moving. It doesn’t have to be tons, but move some. Get your heart rate going.
5. HAVE FUN! Put on music you like, hang out with friends, play a game. Board games are super fun! Clue!, Monopoly, Life, all of those games are amazing. Do something other than sitting in a dark room on the computer. Use your creativity for something. Start blogging, start drawing, writing poetry, something.

Why are these so damn good?

I love these chips. They’re the perfect salt to potato ratio. All of the other plain chips from other brands are of inferior quality. I am disappointed by the lack of awesome.

Some brands are nothing but salt. Other brands are barely any salt. Some just taste overly processed.

I am always incredibly disappointed when I go to a store and the are out of or don’t carry Lay’s.

Eat Lays! Shun the inferior!

What I Learned Today: Kevin Clash, the puppeteer of Elmo.

I watch this documentary today, on Netflix. If you have the means to do so, please watch that documentary. I put it on for shits and giggles, and wound up crying twice.

Kevin Clash is incredibly talented and a compassionate, caring person. He started off loving puppets, and through his passion, he became what is Elmo, today.

The original puppeteer of Elmo had him with an almost cave man speech pattern. The puppeteer, being frustrated by lack of muse, threw Elmo to Kevin, and Kevin toyed around with Elmo’s personality. Elmo was created with Mr. Clash’s parents in mind, taking the best from both personalities.

Kevin Clash started out puppeteering to children in hospitals, and to the day care children at his house. His only goal was to make people happy through the use of puppets. He created Elmo with a huge heart, and Elmo loves everyone. That’s why people love Elmo, because Elmo needs to love people.

Anyway, great show to watch. Gives a lot of insight into Sesame Street. And the Muppets. And AWESOME LEVELS OF HUMAN COMPASSION!
