hunger

when i was poor, i usedta eat peanut butter sammitches
while perusing me mom's old joy of cooking
(really a form of culinary masturbation, i s'pose).
i'd do stuff like subsist for weeks on those
or hebrew national franks with grey poupon
(nothing but the best shitfood = "gracious living on a budget").
a nadir of sorts was achieved when i was reduced to eating
albertson's pico de gallo with tortilla chips for a week.
at least i was eating my vegetables.

can remember back in '02 being a brokeass bike courier and eating nothing but hot dogs and fries damn near every day cause we couldn't afford much else ($135 a week don't go that far these days.) at least i had enough $$$ to be able to cop some hebrew national franks, but i think i'm still getting heartburn from that diet of necessity...

I personally think it is good to go through the lean years, or else you dont appreciate what you have when you have it, because you've never not had it.
