I Am Jack's Nervous Colon

Hello fellows!

If you got the Fight Club reference you get to double fist-pump! For the uninitiated, the main character (or MC as the blogger kids call them) finds a stack of old notebooks, each one dedicated to someone named Jack's body parts, organs included. A famous line in the movie is: "I am Jack's complete lack of surprise. I am Jack's broken heart."

Me appropriating those fictional notebooks works on many levels. The most obvious is that I probably DO have a nervous colon as the rest of my body is in a constant state of "resting anxiety" (I just made that up even though it's probably true). The slightly LESS obvious is this internal countdown/ external Roman calendar countdown to June 1st wherein I give up everything that tastes good in the universe, as well as telling everyone that has an email account that I'm doing this, which will make my fall harder (if it happens). Which was my intention, in a way, so I could be a guinea pig for others who are feeling poopy and want to make a change. But also pouting until I feel better.

[Way TMI] About Me

So here's my baseline for the Whole30 experimentation 2017.

 Age: 39 

(Physical age: 7 year coma patient?)

 

In a nutshell: I was born on April 27, 1978. (This puts me at the tail-end of Gen X.) My parents were amazing and for the first 3 years and 10 months we lived in a relative Garden of Eden. The Fall came in the form of a blonde cherub named Kathleen-not-Katie. We fought like rock-stars in an Oasis tribute-band, but eventually grew to love each other.

Friends, family, countrymen,

This blog was previously devoted to learning how to write/ sharing my writing with a few friends (called the PUBlishers who met in a pub 2-3 times total), but I've dropped that ball, I'm afraid. To encourage my writing side, I am writing to the internet to observe and record the amazing transformation that I plan to implement regarding my eating habits (cure everything wrong with you with food!), my entertainment choices (TV, movies, music, reading, writing, dancing [jk], social activism, social-izing, dining etc.), moving houses (god help us all) and current creative outlets.

It will be diary-esque, in that I don't promise a daily entry, but will share any ups and downs I may have whilst attempting many regime changes.

My main focuses (foci?) are the four fun groups^:

In This Moment:

This moment I'm trying to curb my enthusiasm for a couple Sia songs/ videos. And by curb I mean not give in to some OCD-like impulses I have to put "Chandelier" or "Elastic Heart" on repeat and shed a tear every time I watch the latter....
