Yesterday when I went to write, I could think of nothing. Absolutely nothing. And today I'm fearful that I might repeat myself, repeat what I have written in the last week or so. There is community, which I always want to talk about after going to Belly Dance class, because I so love the dynamics. There is the search for a roommate, which seems to kind be a little of a never ending subject at the moment (and slightly on hold because I'm waiting for people to get back to me). I could talk about faith or anything really. But I think that I will talk about my bike.
For the last week plus I have been riding my bike every day to work (minus the rainy day that I wimped out and took Septa). Its a wonderful ride, minus the cars and crazy Septa buses. I get to ride past the Art museum twice a day. I ride up hill both ways (although the worse hills are on the way home). It takes me about 20mins, and my legs get this nice achy feeling by the end. Also when its hot and humid, I arrive home totally sweaty and starving. Work out and transportation all in one, who would have thunk it?
Which brings me to a point were I want to rant. In today's society we most people are just plan fat. And I'm not saying that we all need to be rail thin and look like super models. No I am talking about over the top, way unhealthy. People buy fast food, TV dinners, and canned soup. Most people don't even pay attention to where their food comes from, nor how it is grow/made. Sure we have the rich people who are obsessed with organic food and grass feed and free range. But most people can't afford to buy organic food, or to go to the local farmers market every week.
To make matters worse, most people have no idea what true nutrition is, balance, variety, and color. So while I ride my bike to work every day and see people my age, who are also skinny and watch the heavier older people ride by in their cars, I wonder what would happen if everyone just rode their bikes, or took the bus. We talk about Green, no that is a very Green idea. I love my bike...
