Vortexia's Secret

i am craving cheese biscuits. i have tried two kinds and will lovingly accept either. the first is the red lobster style cheese biscuit. nice and cheesy taste with the typical biscuit texture. the other was an ethnic cheese biscuit. it looked like a roll on the outside, but was all gooey with cheese on the inside. kind of a doughy texture, since it was part cheese, part bread.

i also had a random ponderance on the subject of youth. we think we're so smart in this day and age. we think we have all the answers as we do research and find out more and more. of course, we kind of forget that much of the research conflicts with other research and we are really spinning our wheels and learning the vast degree of unknown in the universe. but we think we know more and more with every passing day. so we assume that our current research and techniques for increasing life span and youthfulness are based on expert knowledge and facts. but we've been playing that game for centuries now. bleeding out with leaches was the pinnacle of scientific knowledge at one point. now it's medicine and needles and special diets. are we really and truly that much smarter? i have mixed feelings on this subject because for the most part i think it's a bunch of B.S. at least the pop-science type stuff. yet, i have a nerdy streak that loves science. so i like reading little articles on the latest research, and some of the time i figure "why not?" while some of the research seems a little extreme or you can see the potential for holes or pitfalls in the study, many of the ones that remind you of basic logic seem fairly harmless. "well why shouldn't i try to eat a variety of foods and everything in moderation (especially since that's what i've done for most of my life with the exception of my sweet tooth)," or "it probably is smart to use a vitamin that isn't giving you 3000% of the daily allowance."

and now you immediately remember that i'm craving unhealthy biscuits and call me a liar.
