No more vending machines; a polite story of shitaggedon - General

This I believe; that Maslow's heirarchy of needs is absolutely true: [img]http://heyway.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/constitutional-rights-and-maslows-hierarchy-of-needs.jpg[/img] Originally, I was going to write about the underbelly of society; graffiti, the poor, the homeless, and other things that people try not to look at. However, I found it difficult to empathize or even concern myself with such noble issues while struggling with a sickness of my own. Allow me to explain. After a night of gorging on vending machine confections for lack of food and after three nights of getting five hours of sleep a night, I woke up so sick that I had to be sent home from class. Now, everything I eat tastes like cement. [img]http://heyway.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/1.jpg[/img] I can't finish anything, because it all tastes horrible, leaving a grimy, grungy aftertaste in my mouth like I had just sucked on the tailpipe of a Hummer limousine dipped in sand for the past half hour, minus any incidental salt from saltwater that would be on sand that might add a small modicum of flavor to the thing itself. No, nothing is appetizing; least of all the food that most people enjoy and love on a daily basis. [img]http://heyway.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/2.jpg[/img] My stomach feels as though the entire cast and narrative of Free Willy, the book and all four movies are trying to restrain Mr. Willy in an apartment-sized pool, and Mr. Willy has both insomnia and narcolepsy while the lifeguards are too busy giving ten gun salutes to manage properly the interiors of my body. The only thing I can eat is salad, and you can see the excitement on my face as I chew through a slice of cucumber with much zest. I stare at a piece of fudge. [img]http://heyway.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/3.jpg[/img] After that, my body decides that it's time to have a sale and everything must go. Willy roars like a madman, and the lifeguards start doing the Macarena. [img]http://heyway.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/4.jpg[/img] Nothing is absorbed, and I feel weak again. There is no merriment to be had, no Mardi Gras, no Hannukah, no Christmas, no holiday exists in this world for me as I go around from class to class trying to survive by sleeping and improvising meals at the cafeteria day by day, seeing what there is to eat. It all makes my stomach rage with such indignant indigestion that I loathe to eat anything whatsoever, and I go on and on like a zombie. Perhaps at least I might be turning into a zombie, or some kind of vampire. Being a vampire would be pretty cool. [img]http://heyway.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/5.jpg[/img]

You should see a doctor. You did scare me a bit though, since in the past 4 days or so all I've been eating has been a bunch of junior whoppers from Burger King and jugging down Red Bull. The reason is that I've been stuck at my university's library, and the only food that I can afford to buy is $1 burgers and I have to get caffeine in me. My schedule has been: 6:30am Get up 8:00am Go to classes 12:00pm Get food 12:45pm Go to the library 6:00pm Burger King 6:30pm Go to my prep class 10:00pm Get Home and study 1:30am Sleep PS: Is that you in the last picture?

Mine is: 9:00PM Get up 9:00PM Take a shower 9:15PM Play games until 10:30AM 10:30AM sleep For weekends. I tend to sleep 16 hours. But going to bed at 10:30AM would conclude I slept 11 hours. (I think?) So usually 11. HOWEVER, I ACTUALLY went to sleep last night and woke up at a reasonable time! 3AM! Then again at 5:30! Then again at 9am. urgh

I need to go to the health store. And yes, that is me. My tortured sink face says hello.

Your description of your bowel movements is extremely evocative. [editline]07:14PM[/editline] Also, horrifying.

I find it hard to eat, usually only having a tiny bit of my food and feeling sick.

Give this man respected user.

[QUOTE=Dlaor;19899754]Give this man respected user.[/QUOTE] Because he shit himself? Yeah I could respect him for that.

Eat healthy foods even if they don't taste good. You will feel better soon enough

Advice: Go get trail mix. It has tons of protein that will keep you going. It is cheap and will stave off hunger. Your belly might not be full, but it will give you energy, and it's better than grease and saturated fats.

I usually get 2.5-3 hours of sleep a day Mon-Fri and 7-12 hours of sleep Fri-Mon. I'm totally fine...

Nice shit analogy in the title.

I would suggest going to a doctor. This might be serious. Also, my schedual whenever the fuck i feel like it: wake up 5 minutes later: go on facepunch 5-10 minutes later: turn on stereo 30-60 minutes later: go on ps3 when i feel hungry: get some poptarts or whatever the fuck i have about 1:00PM or so: decide to wake my self up some more with STAWBUKS by my house after i get back from STAWBUKS: play more video games whenever the fuck: get to sleep. Might not happen for another day.

Vending machines provide me with snacks that keep me able to go with my day due to the fact of my high metabolism.

Vending machines are way overpriced for the convenience they offer Coffee vending machines taste like crap, chocolate bars cost an arm and a leg, and drinks worth more than their weight in crude oil

Thread is not as amusing as last shitaggedon thread. I still enjoyed it

[QUOTE=NeoTurtle;19905634]Thread is not as amusing as last shitaggedon thread. I still enjoyed it[/QUOTE] Nothing's more amusing that Shitaggedon 1, since that spawned a damn word on [i]Urbandictionary.com![/i]

Dude, go to the doctor. NOW.

[IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z163/P4r4DoX/dramaqueen_sm.gif[/IMG] [editline]05:50PM[/editline] In all seriousness, that sucks though.

I've had the same issue ever since I started working, as the only food we had was from vending machines and I dared not leave and go out to eat. At the time I thought I was good - before I realized vending machines are just consumerist ways to suck money out of your wallet and change from your pockets (it costs, like, $2.15 for a bag of chips (90 cents) and a soda ($1.25) from regular vending machines. that's hardly a meal. I could get a full meal for that price). The stale taste will pretty much last a few months. Afterwards the taste will come back, but it comes back so slowly you don't even realize it until one day you think "man, that was [i]delicious[/i]."

Class days! Tuesday and Thursday 8:45 - Wake up 9:30 - Go to class bitch! 10:00 - 6:45 (1 hour for lunch) 7:15 - get home for dinner (if there is food) 7:45 - Study some more 9:00 - GAMES! 12:30 - Sleep. Rinse and repeat. Non school days are a combination of work, study, and games. And the occasional night out.

bad thread

I took me 10 years to actually start to like salad. My parents made me eat it every third day with dinner.

Who the fuck would actually eat food from a vending machine?
