Amandoo’s Handle of Realitumtum

Steaz has a wonderful energy drink out right now that has 80 mg caffeine from awesome natural sources- green tea, guarana, acai, and yerba mate. What more could you want from an energy drink?

Less sugar. And NO. Not the fake kind. I don’t want maltitol, zylitol, or poticol, and I especially don’t want maltodextrin or sucralose! I don’t know what maltodextrin is, even after researching it, and I know that sucralose is gross.

So why can’t these energy drinks just put less sugar in, right?! They taste like syrupy cough syrup. Not just cough syrup, but sickly sweet slime. I barely can stand ‘red bull’ in a vodka beverage because it’s so sugary.

And I used to like Rockstar and was excited about Rockstar Juiced until I noted that it had Sucralose in it! Why!!! They put in Juice and took away my freedom!

But this Steaz is good stuff. And I wanted it to have just a bit less sugar still (though it is less sweet than other energy drinks, but to be fair, it’s also got a little less kick…than coffee (my primary method of caffeination these days).

And now they have put out a

Diet Steaz Energy Drink

.
Since it’s actually healthy, that doesn’t mean added fake sweeteners (that may cause cancer). No. It is going from around 19g sugar to 9g sugar! It tastes great too.

Yay! Everyone rejoice and go buy one, available at: Buy Diet Steaz at These Locations!

Below is how I got this info- moral of the story is a- try it, b- consume less sugar, and c- always speak up if you care about something, oh, and d- i’m always saying random stuff…

listen to them below- names are changed to awesome things to protect identity’s sakes.

First Name (Mr. Man)

This Saturday there will be the first ever Realize Philadelphia festival, from 11am-6pm.

It’s FREE!

There will be tabling, an outdoor gallery, Sierra Club, silent auction, presentations on Al Gore’s Climate Project and other Earth stuff, as well as fun family activities!

And music…the best part?!?!…

The Fresh Cut Salads will be playing!

They go on at 11:45am so make sure to come early!

Sounds like a really fun time. Come and see some new stuff, have fun, and enjoy your city- Philadelphia!

(And if you’re not from Philly take a road trip and you can stay in the space above my fridge, it’s spacious, but hot)

oh no. this makes me laugh soo. soooooo. much. every single time.

mrak showed me ‘mr. pregnant’ (he saw it on popurls.com) and life really never could be the same after this. i’m happy bout it.

sing a song for joy, it’s odd, it’s good, it’s grand to be alive.

luna the cat is back from getting sneutered, she looks skinny, but i bet she’s glad to be alive.

i had soooo soo sooooooo much fun with my best friend this past six days until she left boo hoo. but it was good. and it looks like i just might be going out to visit her in sunny ol’ California for her birthday in October 14th.

we had some fun friendly parties and everything and some crazy times.

i ended up buying some teacher wardrobe stuff, but i also accidentally bought everything anywhere had to offer.

i feel okay because i’ve made a few private adjustments to the expenditures of money i normally make/do and soon i will be probably making lots more money. i am not very worried, i know that this lifestyle is temporary until next year when i hope to open up my teaching career extravaganza!

i shall now start a blog about school/teaching/student/etcetera. yes soon!

-ps what a dumb story about the teacher/pirate picture. people need to shove it. but it also reminds me to take off incriminating photos of me. luckily there are none. but i really have to go now.

spell check will tell you that.

i think i’m growing some narcolepsy or something. spell check told me it might be nympholepsy which i was really ruling out until i found this- “State of ecstasy and frenzied emotion in relation to the unattainable” if we stretch the ‘unattainable’ to a perfect and beyond contented future then maybe that is me.

we may never know. you may never know i mean.

everyone is getting engaged. EVERYONE. it’s pretty exciting, except for that i’m nowhere near that.

i made it through the halfway point of summer school class, and i’m feeling okay. i was almost ready to quit a second time, which would have sucked on many levels.

now i’m going to celebrate by going and buying some ‘teacher clothes’ which i majorly lack.

love,
amandoo

yep. well. that just about raps up the evening.

folks.

we talked tonight in class about ‘reality tv’ like ‘american idol’. it’s for units that we’re supposed to teach to middle-schoolers. i was getting pissed thinking about all the reality tv. there was a debate and i luckily got put on the side that had to say why reality tv sucks and should be taken off the air. we said it’s superficial, puts skewed value on things, encourages unhealthy things like excessive partying or eating disorders, and gives false hope to people thinking they might become famous. but we are some smart graduate students, because the other side did say/think of some things that i didn’t. it could give people some hope and help them strive for the goal of being on it, they argued that what tv programs don’t promote messed up values (we countered stuff like the history or discovery channel and some other things).

i remembered also an episode of a show i watched recently (i don’t watch much tv, let alone much reality tv), and it was called ‘extreme makeover: home edition’ and they gave this poor family hopes, dreams, futures, and more. the family had taken in five or seven children from an abusive relative and they had their grandpa living there too. in the end all the kids got college scholarships, they got new cars, and the community built them the most beautiful new house.

good stuff.

what i do think is awesome sauce is current.tv which is current tv on the television channel whatever, and also online at current.tv which shows wonderful educational clips that real cool people made. i just watched one on the ‘sand cat‘ and a few others. some of them are eh-ish, but i just love them for the new knowledge they always give me.

so go. explore. and if you watch a lot of tv, check that channel out! yeah!!!

Something delicious is happening. Things are good, I am decidedly not lacking in mental clairvoyance or clarity.

Had enough of that I guess. I am still a lil’ o.o.c. spectacular. Or so I like to think.

I found out about two relevant engagements within an hour of each other- and then I talked to a friend from high school who told me about a third, that I, nor anyone I know of had known about. yes I can keep secrets and I intend to on that one until I hear of it from someone else. But woh! Throw some whats on the whos?

I guess I wish I was sleeping right now. I. also gotta go b-b-q. Meaning the VCR is not only not set up, but where is it? It may have disappeared in the move. And good ol’ technology teacher says ‘bring a VHS for taping yourself because those are the most universal means’ or something like that.

You know, it’s all dollars to donuts up in this D. Dollars to donuts? Yes. A girl in my class actually used that. I was so caught off guard that I fail to remember the context, thusly having no idea how to properly use it myself, but make way for dollops to dancers or something way worse than that.

Who wants to go to AC?! I mean the shore. For sure. For short. A short period of time.

My wireless is suck right now. I guess I should just go to bed. But I got a text message from my new roommate that said ‘sick in bed. talk tomorrow’ to I guess explain why she didn’t move in today. It will in fact be great and or very interesting times to have more roommates.

And my bestest friend is coming on Tuesday which shall be sweet.

Finally, I watched a movie. I can’t say the title of it until I write about it. But boy was it good. And yes, I am this vague in real life too, always, to everyone, about everything.

And that is why I can’t write good lesson plans. Or what not. It tastes good though, life.

it looks like some people are not really all that ‘alive’. i watched a show last night i think about people learning how to work in a mortuary. the make-up-faced girls learning looked more dead than the old dead man body they were working on. now, what if those girls read what i just said. i bet they would care about it as much as i do.

alive! i made it! i got a great grade on my test (B+) which is really an A, basically. But not at all. Hey. It’s cool though. It’s making me use capitals, which I think are kind of a waste of time. but i was soooo excited. and i did alright in my ‘microteach’, but only because i talked about TV. TV is a good topic, especially when it’s supposed to be for middle-school-aged students.

i think everything is in fact going to work out. besides work next week (i need off because my best friend is coming to town!), and! i have not ‘worked out’ in forever. at least i’d like to ride my bike more but i’m scared because i never asked if i could store it in the garage i’m storing it in and then they shut it so i’m scared. i guess i could carry it up the stairs each time? no. not really.

i’m tirered moreso than usual, even though i went to bed by like 1am AWESOME! i’m so F proud of myself for doing better and putting in a real effort towards school this time. it’s kind of gross how much better i feel, it’s like i’m actually doing work and caring because i realize how important it is for me? after this class, a test or two in the fall, and then student teaching!

in other news, i will not discuss my l’oventures on the internet. it’s against God’s will. well. my will. and probably anyone involved on the other end. let’s just say i don’t get around, but i don’t cover a lot of ground with it either. i don’t have time for this.

i’m working. lots. today. and it’s okay, cuz it’s all gonna change. i think it’ll be great. and i love you. so much. like pb ‘n j. (actually i don’t like that all that much)

i’m always tired. probably because i worked this morning after going out all night. i don’t like working weekends, but i have to get enough hours to achieve ‘part-time’ status at starbucks. boring. jk high five. it’s going to be great. especially since i start school again tomorrow. huge test. going to be boring! well. it’ll be okay. at least i have an idea of how bad it’s going to be (bad). this year i want an A (last year i dropped it).

tired! i had some fun this weekend. i went to the june fete and went on a few rides. i used my new camera. all the way until the battery died.

good times.

wish me luck. please. i have to go nap so i can wake up and study more.

my life is definitely way more interesting then what i just wrote sounds, but i can’t convey that right now, seeing as how i must be studying every second i’m alive.

bye!
