Have you ever woken up craving a chocolate bar? Can taste that sweet cocoa treat on the tip of you tongue as memories of creamy candies float in your sleep coated brain. Nuts, caramel, raspberries, fill some, while others tease with light, dark, milk chocolate squares. Almond Joy, now doesn't that sound good. When you think about it, there are health benefits. You have almonds, which are really good for you, coconut is too, and the anti-oxidants in the chocolate are a benefit. The sugar, not so much. But hey, if we weren't supposed to eat the white gold, (which it was considered during the depression) then why is it produced for consumption? We all know the affects sugar has on the body, but if a person eats too much of anything it'll have an adverse effect on the body, and it's system. I'm not here to preach, this is what came out when I woke up craving a chocolate bar. To each their own, is one of my mantras! Have an over-easy day, yolks!   

When I was in high school I wrote for the school newspaper. I had three responsibilities. I covered sports, was the photographer, and had my own column called Ambrosia. It was just a free flowing piece where I would talk about anything that came to my mind right then and there as I typed on the old Corolla. At least that's what I believe it was called. I wonder if there's a way I can get copies of those newspapers today. I gather not. Anyway, what fun that was. What a simpler time. I recall my parents and aunts and uncles always coining that phrase about easier times when they were younger too. I look around, because in actuality I have nothing better to do, and see how technology has really changed our lives on every level. Does it really make our lives better, or have we just been, once again, brainwashed. No-wonder the brain is considered comparable to a sponge. It absorbs anything and everything put into it. Well, for the most part. Think about it, how many original thoughts are produced these days. Even when it comes to the arts, things seem to be redone, a different rendition to a song, a new but same old movie made to meet the times. That's why I'm glad I'm a writer, I don't fear someone rewriting my work. Just like Joni Mitchell says, a painting is only painted once, those aren't her exact words, but I'm sure you get my jest. Anyway, enough babbling. So all in all, I do think technology can be a good thing, but we can't let the sponges get too dry.
