I have been eating Lays, the Simply style of them that is. Good chips. I don't have the patience for cooking potatoes so It's nice to grab a bag and munch on them that way. Also I can use the oil and even the salt is good for summer time.
I.B.S. is still ever-present with me but I think if I ate more it might go away. Haven't been bleeding for quite some time now but all it would take is eating the wrong thing and I'd be in big trouble. I've been constipated(as well as having Diarrhea) in recent times without bleeding and I think I can chalk it up to simply not eating as balanced as I could be.
Hoping to get a job to somehow pay for more food but I need a relatively light energy assignment.
I'm also loving dates with pits in them. So much better than the others. Not only do they seem to have better shelf-life but they also have more fruit for each date as the mechanical pit removing devices don't do a good job of removing the pits and remove a lot of the fruit too. Plus it's probably better to just remove the pits in a bacteria-using way with your mouth and hands.
I've wondered about mayo and at the moment I'm eating some that only has egg yolk and oil and sugar and such in it whereas for some reason a lot of mayo products have egg white in them which is not really what I'm looking for. Might not be the healthiest thing ever but it sure is interesting to mix it with some salsa and some mustard, comes out like that sauce for the Big Mac.
And I've been eating meat candy. The walks at times feel like they take a lot out of my muscles and such so I'll buy some beef jerky, it has sugar and salt in it and I'm not a fan of the sugar but it's not too bad if I drink some kefir with it since there are some probiotics in that.

Thinking about food again - featuring my rediscovery of cinnamon
Pain is amazing at blocking out memories. I forgot how I used to eat some cinnamon mixed with sugar, as others in my family did. We would put some bread out to bake in the conventional/microwave oven, we would put some sort of butter on it, and then some cinnamon and sugar mixture on top of the butter. It tasted good, but it was not a very good snack plan in hindsight. What was good about it was the cinnamon I think.
I remembered the habit when wandering around a QFC looking for a type of ice cream that might be suitable since they didn't carry the frozen cheesecake(which includes both carob and cinnamon) anymore that I liked. I didn't find any suitable ice cream, but in the same aisle was the cinnamon, Kroger brand. I was already recently drinking some tea that includes cinnamon in it, and I love the smell and the tea makes my body feel good, so I figured cooking with cinnamon is a good idea.
And that’s why I went ahead and bought a small can of cinnamon, despite my bitter nostalgia. It's odd to me because QFC chooses which spices to carry from Frontier brand. Because they have their own brand, Kroger for cinnamon, they don't carry Frontier brand cinnamon. That's fine I guess, but the cinnamon shouldn't be in the ice cream section. It should be near the other spices which happen to be on the other side of the store.
So I was actually mixing carob into my flour lately when I fry up some bread, so why not try to do the very same thing with cinnamon? It tastes good, but it is very sticky. I’m wondering if there’e anything appropriate to counteract the stickiness with or if I should just accept it. Either way, I believe that as I continue to cook and try out old and new things, the pleasure that comes from my cooking shall increase.
So I now cook with a mixture of flours. I use teff, rice, and millet. I have to either add salt or add extra salt if I use millet.
I'm also enjoying dried fruits lately. Fruits that my body seemed to have great trouble digesting seem to be not such a big deal when they are dried first. It wasn't until I was an adult that I even tried prunes...wasn't until I had already begun having big problems with my body. Too late to make the most out of my time on the earth...but not too late to cling to life until the bitter end. And in the meantime, I can attempt to horde knowledge in the hope that it may be of benefit in the future.
Bananas for example, are probably a great example of a fruit that should be dried. It has a delicate timing window on when to eat it, or so I feel. Maybe not everyone agrees, and if that's the case, continue eating raw bananas. I'll take them dried, thanks. I'm also enjoying apricots. Not a fan of dried figs but to be fair, they still taste pretty good. The seeds annoy me, they are like a watermelon's baby. Seeds are everywhere.
All those weird wheat crackers, cookies, and other junk food really is junk food. Why buy a cheese or fruit flavored wheat product when you can just buy the real thing? And if you want some grain, why stop at wheat? If you can eat it, more power to you, but try something else once in a while and see if you can discover something you like better. If you don't find something you like better, at least you tried. And if you really tried hard, then perhaps merely the experience of trying those other grains will give you an idea of what it's like for people that can't eat wheat.
You can discover a favorite cheese or fruit or spice or whatever if you put your mind to it, and try to prepare food yourself instead of just buying into something that's popular. Even though I love the taste of corn chips and salsa for example, it's not something I should eat. I think we all need to make our food choices be our own food choices.

Another Blog, more thoughts laid out for the rest of you
I've strayed away from blogging quite a bit. One thing to keep in mind is that I do have another blog that I update sometimes found at http://playdota.com/forums/blog.php?u=15041 and that one is mostly for gaming. I also have been posting quite a lot of Hearthstone videos lately on YouTube so if you want to check that out, go ahead. https://www.youtube.com/user/iNsOmNiAcAnDrEw/videos
So, the other thing is that I've been writing entries into an offline journal periodically and I was beginning to think that perhaps some of what I'm posting on this blog is just for my personal use so why use it that way? Seems silly when I can keep offline notes instead. Yeah...electronic or hand-written, either way I should be taking more offline notes. And so I am doing so now. At any rate, my health has had its ups and downs and overall I'm still dissatisfied with my sleeping patterns. It's hard to establish a good polyphasic sleeping cycle for me but I really want to get back into that kind of routine.
Whatever the case I feel like there are times I just feel so bad and I'm not sure if it's eating habits that are the only thing to blame or not. Another thing to consider is my emotional state. I still don't have a girlfriend and I know that it hurts deep down inside not having such a relationship.
I may take part in this blog more often but for now I want to point out that I've been very busy with watching YouTube videos...it's gotten to the point where I listen to these videos and watch them and play games with people so much more than I've interacted with other people. The years are advancing and there's so much for people to share with one another and doing it online is great but person to person interactions are sorely missed.
I've been doing some work here and there and on the 8th there is a workshop event called Ticket to Work at Worksource that I'll be going to since I received in the mail a Ticket to Work. I'm not sure what it's going to be like but it's only an hour and a half long event so I guess I won't be worrying much about missing out on nap time if I want to shake up my sleeping cycle.

Food and Gaming and Books
So I have gone from corn chips and salsa to taquitos and salsa to just pinto beans and salsa. I'm not eating meat at the moment, not even eggs, although I recently ate some shrimp and I might eat more of that later, I'm not sure. Today I had some of the best poop I have had in as long as I can remember. Soft and relatively big. The above and teff and yogurt have been all I have eaten, other than a mix of honey, royal jelly, and bee pollen. I might buy some more pearl onions since I probably am not getting enough protein from the small amount of onions in the salsa. Of course teff has protein as well but it's a different kind I think. I'm actually annoyed because as my colon feels great my face gets scales all over it. I know I could clear up my complexion significantly if I were to consume some chocolate, but I would imagine that doing so has the potential to damage my colon.
As for gaming...the new monitor seems to work rather well and the new mouse is fine I guess. I don't like the bright red light on top but it seems to be functioning fine. In Heroes of the Storm, I bought Abathur for 10,000 gold and won my first game that I played with him rather easily. I still have a little over 10,000 gold left and I'm thinking of getting Johanna, Kael'thas, Zeratul, or Thrall. And there are some cheaper heroes I'd like to get. In Dota 2, it seems like I can win if I make sure to pick the perfect support heroes to make sure my allies get an unfair advantage over our opponents. Every game makes me feel like I'm playing with total morons but if I apply my knowledge and am alert to what they need it's a lot easier. It's tough though since it's hard to be diplomatic and more often than not the clearest path to victory involves muting at least half your team. In League of Legends I tried playing Jinx but found it was hard to get a support for a team, so I checked in as support Jinx and went AP and won without much difficulty. A bit silly since she has only one ability that scales with AP and I didn't get the damage applied from it very often. I think perhaps the Essence Reaver is the best item for a support Jinx so maybe I'll try it next time. In Hearthstone I almost got Shaman to level 60 and I figure I might as well level up each class to that point. Tavern Brawl games seem harder than regular ones after the first day. This is mainly because a lot of the folks that play those Tavern Brawls seem to be higher ranking players with better collections. Perhaps as I try to level up classes I will start getting a higher rank? Eh, probably not.
I am almost done with the Star Wars book series I was working on for a while. I'm on the very last book now and to be honest it doesn't seem particularly interesting. It has a lot of fighting which would probably be more fun to watch than to read about, especially since there seems to be a lot of simple mistakes the author makes like calling columns rows and that kind of immature thing. It's a bit awkward how many mistakes I can spot in the average published book and how I don't always know for sure what the author really meant. As a reader, I don't like taking extra time trying to figure out what the writing should be, I should rather spend it trying to figure out what is being told. Such amateur work really makes one go through the process at a speed not desirable.

Diet and gaming update
Lately I've been trying to avoid excessive noise wherever possible.
Another tidbit is that I managed to save some money for computer parts and put together a desktop for gaming and can now play Dota 2 and Heroes of the Storm again.
I just ordered another couple of jars of specialized honey from supersup.com. Probably waited too long to do this! Anyway, it has royal jelly and bee pollen in it which help provide nourishment and energy to my body. I'm almost done eating my first 50 pounds of Teff from the Teff Company and will be ordering another 25 soon. I have lately not eaten as much white rice as I used to despite ordering a lot of it. I am currently thinking about additions to my diet. I'm trying to stay away from GMO and gluten the most. I'm thinking of maybe onions and lean beef? My body doesn't like potatoes and cabbage so much anymore and it has grown weary of beef hot dogs. Another proposition would be adding fish oil from Super Supplements into my diet, but I wonder if I should just start buying fish instead? Does fish go good with onions?
As a minor note, I am going to just use the rest of this blog as a backup source for my configuration files. I don't think I'll need it, but I might as well do it anyway. Anyone that doesn't play either of the above games might as well ignore the rest of this blog post.

Another tidbit is that I managed to save some money for computer parts and put together a desktop for gaming and can now play Dota 2 and Heroes of the Storm again.
I just ordered another couple of jars of specialized honey from supersup.com. Probably waited too long to do this! Anyway, it has royal jelly and bee pollen in it which help provide nourishment and energy to my body. I'm almost done eating my first 50 pounds of Teff from the Teff Company and will be ordering another 25 soon. I have lately not eaten as much white rice as I used to despite ordering a lot of it.

Dietary changes helping with sleeping habits, the climate messes with them.
So, in my quest for better health I have found that choosing to not continue to chew gum is helping. How, you might ask? It's simple, the phenylalanine absorbed through the gum chewing is allowing my body to remain paralyzed for inordinate periods of time. This means that when I awake I simply cannot get up, and I've had episodes in the past where I will be completely awake mentally for HOURS and can't get up because my muscles still think I'm supposed to be dreaming.
And another bit of information, it is difficult to sleep multiple times a day, even moreso when it's hard to keep the room temperatures stable. With extreme weather, or at least extreme to me, I have been able to get to sleep at times but it isn't always effective. Therefore my sleeping schedule seems to be mostly still all over the place at the moment, however what is important in the way I have improved is that I'm currently doing my best to avoid sleeping at times where it would not particularly help my body. Due to the nature of living so far towards the North of the world in the summer what this means is that sometimes I only sleep once a day, just as soon as the sun is setting and then wake up some ~7 hours later or so. I have been able to have intermissions at times, although I typically require the assistance of an alarm clock of some sort.
Right now it's not looking very good for polyphasic sleeping pattern arguments, but I think a lot of that inability must be contributed to the length of time the Earth faces the Sun from this angle every 24 hours, which is excessive for my preference. In other words, it just gets too hot and dry to relax. I think though, that if I eat enough and eat well enough then perhaps I can do greater with my sleeping habit efforts. In the meantime, I and others agree that doing some meaningful work can encourage my physical body to comply with my plans. Another tidbit of information is that during this summer I been turning a cool air humidifier on, and that has been an enormous help in maintaining a proper breathing atmosphere. I also got a bedroom plant for this purpose, and I think I may need to get a bigger pot for it very soon.

Alternative sleeping patterns - my current situation
I have dry skin and due to this I have noticed something amazing which is that if I sleep at least twice a day rather than once a day, my condition improves dramatically. So in the name of improving my health I have been attempting to sleep in 3-6 shifts per day, but for a short amount of time each shift. So far I have been mostly unsuccessful at consistently sleeping for less than an hour, so sleeping for 4-6 shifts a day at the moment for me is impossible.
So far I have found some success at sleeping for about 3 hours in 2 shifts of 100 sleeping windows each, so about 10-30 minutes to get ready for bed and I typically wake up a minute before or the very minute of the alarm. Since I'm not as efficient as I'd like to be, I'm planning to set up the roughly-12-hours-later-sleeping-time to be an experimental sleeping window. In the meantime, I was actually running 4 sleeping windows but what happened every time was that I didn't sleep all 4 windows because the first 2 windows gave me so much already. So for now I'm going back to 3 windows and the extra window will be the one I will shrink back gradually.
By shrinking back the window gradually, and in the meantime restricting myself to 3 sleeping windows, I may be able to slip in a fourth window eventually by shrinking the existing sleeping windows. I probably won't be able to do it any time soon, but I am feeling a bit better that I understand now how I may be able to reach that goal. For now, I am eager to find out how difficult or easy it will be for me to carry out the 3-window plan. I have ignored the alarms from time to time, and slept too much for a single shift at times, but hopefully this 3-window plan will be a mild enough change that I won't ignore the alarms.
