Trying to Gain Pounds, Lost 5 Today!

Hey guys! Some of you might know that I’m not the heaviest person on the internet. At 130-ish pounds, I’d love to gain some serious weight again, something like the 170ish pounds I was back in high school. I think I’ll try a new diet high in protein, maybe that’ll help. . . I went and bought a selection of Cliff Bars last week, and I’ll eat one a day to try to gain some heft. Hey, 20% of your daily NEEDS of protein’s not too shabby! Plus, they actually taste good! By the way, I’m lactose intolerant, and it’s a real treat to have chocolate that’s not been made with milk. I’ve tried the Maple Nut kind for dinner tonight with some raisins, and my expectations were blown away! AWESOME FLAVOR. Chocolate Chip & Oatmeal/Raisin/Walnut types are just as great, while the White Chocolate Macadamian Nut landed in the pretty good ranking… I’ll let you all know if my hairy arse gets any wider because of this diet guys! Wish me luck! (Oh yeah, an American who’s not fat already- Hur-hur-hur! Digestive issues suck, Clif Bars don’t.)

How’d I loose five pounds then? I donated them to Mr. Gregg Mayles’ favorite charity for the 26 mile marathon he’ll be running on April 26th. I had to do a Dollar to Pounds converter to measure out 5 pounds from my Paypal account. I gave more than half of what I had though! I couldn’t give the whole 9 bucks as Ebay has seller fees I need to pay off. What’s even better is that every dollar I donated is MATCHED by Microsoft! How cool is that?! It’s like I’ve given them about 14 dollars, almost sorta. Right, the charity is Wishes 4 Kids, and they do some great stuff for sick kiddos in the UK and I think the mission’s completely rockin’. I couldn’t think of anything better than having the man behind the cartoon honey bear do his part to sweat to make kids happy. God bless Gregg, Rare, Microsoft and all who donate to the event for making the Zenek-Purple Run a fun & profitable one for kids who could use a wish granted.

Zenek Purple? Yep. Gregg & His Krew’s flying my royal colors this year as opposed to construction worker orange. That’s like icing on the cake, man! Do yourself and some special child a favor and donate a little something on Gregg’s site below. You know you want to, friend. J Keep Cool Everyone!

PS. See any other cool donators on that list? (Trick question! THEY ARE ALL COOL.)

PPS. I REALLY wanted The Blog of Zen to be Purple from the first post, but I can't twist Blogger's rigid system to allow it. Lame. :(
