Example - McDonalds, Burger King, Wendys, etc.. It may seem like a way to cheat or something but it’s way to much work to figure out whats fast food or not.</p> <p>So from now until 04/17/2010 I shall not eat chocolate, drink a beer, or eat fast food.</p> <p>As an additional bonus Oscar my friend will be giving up red meat for Lent which will be much more difficult than it sounds as thats all he ever eats.</p>http://michaelstaines.com/post/396572302http://michaelstaines.com/post/396572302Thu, 18 Feb 2010 08:28:12 -0500<p>I’m stuck on what to give up for lent… I have a few things I thought of but not sure which one to pick.</p> <p>1) Give up chocolate… done 2 years in a row</p> <p>2) Give up drinking… this one sounds stupid because I hardly drink any more so whats the point.</p> <p>3) Give up fast food… This one could actually be tricky as whats considered fast food? would pizza hut be considered fast food…</p> <p>Today is the first day of lent so I will try to avoid all 3 of them until I make my decision.</p>http://michaelstaines.com/post/394709713http://michaelstaines.com/post/394709713Wed, 17 Feb 2010 09:10:17 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxsaieA8aI1qzx14wo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>It snowed yesterday and this is now what my car looks like today..</p>http://michaelstaines.com/post/387237461http://michaelstaines.com/post/387237461Sat, 13 Feb 2010 09:20:38 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxrisjYu5a1qzx14wo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>iStat letting me know useful information!!</p> <p>It also connects to my iMac with just as much useful info as you see here… It’s kind of neat.</p>http://michaelstaines.com/post/386622379http://michaelstaines.com/post/386622379Fri, 12 Feb 2010 23:21:52 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxqnlzyZSR1qzx14wo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The built in speakers didn’t work out for me, so this is the final setup..</p>http://michaelstaines.com/post/385716115http://michaelstaines.com/post/385716115Fri, 12 Feb 2010 12:08:23 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxqhf3f5S81qzx14wo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A gift to myself, iMac.
