Like Eric, my college days preceded ramen noodles, which I understand is the current staple of students everywhere. My basics were grilled cheese sandwiches and Campbell's soup. Ketchup sandwiches if things were tight.
I ate at the campus cafeteria most of the time, keeping up a balance of fresh fruit and veggies and ice cream only on Fridays during the summer. Plus my apartment was only half a mile from campus, so I just walked or rode my bike everywhere. While most students gained the Freshmen Fifteen, I had actually lost twenty pounds by the end of my first year.
My college days also preceded ramen noodles. It was grilled ham and cheese sandwitches. I went to school in the town I was raised in so I could always hit up Mom for good homemade Italian food.
I survived on cup-o-noodles, chicken pot pies, and those rolls of biscuits while in college. I'm not sure there was anything from any of the major food groups in any of them. I could eat on about a dollar a day that way. The good old days....NOT!
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Stoffers and Soup Cans were how I survived college. I guess that puts me in the minority.
After 3 straight weeks you better hope you are stocked up on toilet paper.

I especially like spicey noodle soup when I have a cold. It just burns the virus out.
