There is a Milkshake machine at my school. It is called, “F’Real” and it is seriously delicious. The whole process was a little daunting at first, but it was well worth it. What happened was that I saw an advertisement with a little cartoon cow on it and I wondered what it was about. The word, “F’real” didn’t tell me much. So I asked the employee about the item and she said it was a milkshake. And I asked where they were and she said I had to take an item from the freezer of my choice and blend it in the machine. It sounded fun and interactive so I decided to give the ‘chocolate malt’ shake a whirl. It was good time and I made sure to take off the tin foil lid. All I had to do was insert the item into the machine and then push a button. The machine did all the rest. So it was quite easy. The cool thing was that the shake was made of real ice cream, and I could tell that it was For Real!
The flavor was excellent and it was the perfect temperature and consistency. The chocolate malt shake has a significant amount of sugar and fat in it. So that was a good thing because I’ve been exercising so much last week. I need the fat and sugar and protein to grow muscles. There is some iron, vitamin A, and calcium in the shake as well. So even though it will definitely make someone gain weight if they are not exercising, it is a good thing for students that need a lot of snack nutrients quickly.
Here is a video of my first look experience with the Chocolate Malt, F’eral shake!
I bought some Watermelon Juice from Trader Joes today and I noticed something funny. The font for the juice log was totally different from my Fiji Water. The Trader Joes watermelon juice was all wiggly and wraggly and it looked like it was made by either a very thoughtful artist or else a child who had been deprived of neural-transmitters for several days.
On the other hand the Fiji water logo looked all civilized and prim and proper. It made me think of tranquility and relaxation and even confidence with each sip. But the watermelon juice was saying to me, “HEY it’s time to surf the net and PARTY!!! Let’s see what we can see, baby!”
This begs the question, “What is the decision-making process for these fonts and logos.” Wanna know what I think is going on? Demographics!!! They target people who like watermelon juice I bet as sassy people who are a little bit on the wild-side. That’s my guess.
The latest episode of overidonTV is online. It is called, Episode 3 – Details. Like the title suggests, we are dealing with details of philosophy and specifics of outlook. Here is an abridged transcription of the episode for the hearing impaired.
Everyone has a plan, Everybody has an agenda.
And those who don’t…are part of somebody else’s.
Welcome to overidonTV – episode 3: Details
What is an overidon?
An overidon is an artificial system that attempts to slowly expand and grow.
And it attempts to do so, without being destroyed
or inadvertently destroying itself, either through action or inaction.
So, what’s the plan?
“Well, I just want to live my life, be a good person, show up, and occasionally feel good.”
Ok, so then why are you looking up weird videos on YouTube?
Why is your chair black?
(I can probably help with that one)
The reason why your chair is black, is because you’re an adult.
Now there is a major difference between a child and an adult. And that difference in on the perception of time.
A child views time as an over-abundunt intangible resource, that like an outstretched ocean, or
a vast universe…has no apparant beginning or end.
On the other hand, an adult, views time itself as a precious commodity that has actual value,
and sees it as a finite reminder or unfinished business.
There is a new emphasis on winning and loosing in the current system.
Are you a winner? Or are you a looser.
Well, in reality that is not the best question.
A better question would be, “Are you surviving?”
Because in this world, there are survivors…and there’s everybody else.
And I’m not talking about emotional survivors or philosophical survivors.
I mean, are you dead or not?
If you’re not dead, then good job. You can blame your ancestors and roast your parents all you want,
but somebody has made a decision that got you here.
So with that in mind, what are you going to do with your time?
A good place to start might be, “How much time do I have left? How old am I, how physically healthy am I?”
Have I damaged my body to such a great extent that I’m pretty much screwed, or can I tweak a habit or behavior
here and there and be a serious asset to either my own goals, or someone else’s who I respect and trust?
That last part is important, because how many times have we been a part of someone’s else’s goals,
even though we knew that those goals were either flawed or not something that we respected or trusted.
Goal alignment is the basis of business with integrity.
But when you are a serious asset to your own goals, your own agenda, it is impossible to be in a state
that is anything less than total allignment, a frictionless state of mind. This is even more so if the
goals change and evolve over time, actually if the goals evolve that’s a good signal that you may be in
the process of being honest with yourself.
Unfortunately having goals and executing a plan takes resources. And in order to attain those resources,
one may have to comprimise on some important issues and deal with other people or investors, and oftentimes
forfeit many of the very benefits of human existence that make the whole process worthwhile.
But if you do things right, the process should be cyclical, you work for others in order to work for yourself,
and then when you run out of resources you work for others again, until one can begin the process over again,
hopefully learning and refining the fruits of the work and the system itself after every cycle.
If the for method for attaining your goals takes anything less than a decade, than the objective was
not lofty enough or else you cheated to get there.
Do not cheat. The mental and emotional and guilt based consequences
often outweigh any physical or societal ramifications. I wish I wasn’t talking from experience here.
In the year 2000, an album called, TrancenDANCE was released. The artist name was “The Grey Mage” but that was before The Grey Mage was doing Hip-Hop. So now the artist name is “overidon.” One of the songs from this album was, HoloMagaeo. You can now listen to this song on YouTube by clicking HERE.
