Cereal Choices (or How Simple Things Change a Day)

I think too much, but then I blog too much. Maybe it evens out.

I went to HEB Didn't run into anyone psychotic in the parking lot, so it was a good trip The aggressive aggressive (there was no passive about him, but he was a double dose of aggressive) individual took to the stage Thursday morning (turning left in front of me, cutting me off, then not picking up to the posted speed limit, and then switching lanes to violently cut me off a second and third time when I safely passed him and retook the lane and attempted to change lanes to avoid his psychotic behavior... go figure he then drove into oncoming traffic to get out of congestion). I'm sure that either his meds had kicked in or the police spikes had finally taken out his tires by Friday, so my day was calm. But calm also comes with contemplative.

Cereal is a good forecasting tool for how either your day was, if you're buying it, or how your day will be, when you're eating it. I bought corn flakes because I had a craving. Don't get me wrong. I also bought a half dozen fried pies (no beef fat associated) and a tub of Blue Bell ice cream. I wasn't being health conscious. I just had a craving.

But where does a craving for corn flakes come from? Does anyone else even have them? I suspect such a craving isn't as typical as the Blue Bell, but it told me a little about what I am lacking.

Work sucks. I feel that I might have an impact and might have a clue as to what to do, but everything I do comes across as an attempt to usurp my supervisor's<b> authority. </font></b>I didn't even apply for the job when it was open because I didn't want to end up deeper in the depths of the insanity that is my department. I'm happy enough clinging on a rock and hoping that someone will throw me a lifeline so I can get out of there. Maybe one of the many jobs that I've applied for will come through and the next job will be stable, fulfilling, and financially rewarding. This one fails on all three counts. So why the corn flakes again?

Corn flakes are normal. They're stable. They are understated but good in a simple way. They are that uncomplicated thing that I crave in my life. Seems pretty symbolic for a cereal, right?

But I usually enjoy Raisin Bran Crunch or Shredded Wheat squares and sometimes indulge in something in a Pebble. Things that are classically enjoyable and the occasional sugar overdose seem to fall in line with my taste in men. Things that taste or feel good make sense. But why corn flakes?

Maybe I'm up for something healthy? It would be a serious departure from from the hedonism that has been my sex life. To find something simple but satisfying would be a different kind of fulfilling.

It would be something different.

But maybe cereal is just cereal.

Or maybe I just want my life simplified.
