entry 10 Here Comes the Boom

Howdy MY readers
Have you ever worked so hard to keep a surprise and then ruin it yourself? That's how my weekend went. My fiancés birthday was on Sunday so I wanted to make the whole weekend a celebration. I had been planning all month to make her birthday extremely special. I had things for her to do Friday and Saturday during the day but I was most excited to give her the surprise Saturday night. I had planned with all her friends to meet us for dinner Saturday night in Scottsdale. Everything was going smooth and I had kept a pretty good poker face all day until I made an epic mistake. When it was time to go to the restaurant, I lost my cool factor and in a way spilled the beans. As we walked in and headed to the hostess desk I looked over and saw that not all of our friends had showed up yet. I then blurted out, "actually we will be back we are gonna go on a walk". As I looked at my very smart and clever fiancés face I instantly knew she was not fooled. She let me play it cool as we walked out of the restaurant but as we headed down the street she cracked a smile and said, " so how long do we need to stall until our friends show up so I can eat?" Luckily Karlie made a whole joke out of the thing and helped window browse with me to stall time. I was so upset because I worked so hard to keep it a secret for weeks and as it was finally unraveling, I ruined it. After our fake stalling was over we headed to the restaurant and met our friends for dinner, I had to admit to everyone I dropped the ball, but I was okay with that. As long as Karlie was happy and enjoying her time I was happy and enjoying my time....and trying to forget about my failed attempt. Once the birthday weekend was over I was sadly relieved. I love doing things for Karlie but it sure feels good when I don't have to keep secrets. 

Entry 9 Empty Stomach!


Ello readers
Many times in my posts I have written about people being completely oblivious to the amount of harmful and negative things in dealing with the food industry and what goes down in the food world. There is something that deeply concerns me. And this subject is called pink slime. And this wonderfully named thing is typically created to go and make dog food and other animal foods, but wait one minute of course the wonderful people of ‘MERICA figured out how to save some jingle in there pockets by figuring out ways to feed this to us, without any indications for us. This is something many people do not want to go and speak about but it is in must of ours meats that are pre grinded for you. But the scariest of all about this new “filler” is that the FDA s allowing this is schools nation wide, oh yes if you have kids and are nervous about this, my suggestion would be to perhaps pack lunches. This was all brought to my attention once I watched this video by Jamie Oliver titled, “Food Revolution”. The facts are shocking on this and people strictly need to know what is going on in the food world we need to stop turning a blind eye and do something before the food we consume is the reason we are dying.
I am going to post the link to watch the video and make sure you have and empty stomach and I would advice not eating ground beef beforeJ

Entry 8 Oh Netflix


Hello my readers!
My name is Jacob Lestina and I am addicted to Netflix. Yes I now a safe but lame thing to be addicted to, but it is running through me. My fiancé and I cannot, not go a day without watching or shows of interest.  This is all beginning of the series of Breaking Bad; the show was all over the television and winning making very big waves in the media. And that was the very monster that has begun to fuel my silly ragging addiction. After Breaking Bad soon followed Dexter, I believe if there was a world record for watching a TV series in a certain amount of time, I strongly believe that I would have my name on a plaque somewhere. Everyone has one thing that go and have near and dear to their hearts and now in this time and place it tends to be Netflix. Current as I post this, my fiancé is watching our newest series, which is Prison Break…. DUN DUN DUNNNN it is an older show but boy it has an instrumental amount of cliff hangers.  This one so far has my award for best series on Netflix hands down.

Entry #7 Food, Inc.


Well hello my readers!

It has been sometime since I have last updated my blog but I have a very serious topic I want to discuss over. I have recently watched the film “Food Inc” and if you have not seen this movie I highly recommend seeing this film it will turn your stomach upside down, much like that feeling when on a roller coaster when you being to drop from really high, really fast. But this flick has some serious incite on where your food comes from and how it because your food plus primarily whatever the producer feels needs to go in like vitamins and things of the nature. Personally my main tiff with these meat companies is I fell like the world is being lied straight to our faces. I mean you walk into a Safeway and see pictures of cows in pastors and normal size pigs in huge heard looking all normal but that is just for the change in your pocket. These animals are given hormones to make sure that they get as physically big as they can get them because now they have more meat to get us to buy. It is all a huge lie, these animals are brutalized, because they get so fat so quickly some of these bones haven’t even all born up yet, and also they can walk so the meat you are eating because it is killed it really rolling around in its own and other animals feces. Think about that that is stomach turning worthy. I mean what ever happened to everyone being happy and healthy in America? Now every single person is trying to make money off you, regardless f it is bad for you, as long as these people keep making the huge quantity of money they will feed you anything.  We should just be eating the type of food that we want; I am referring to how companies are making engineered foods, I mean come on, we as people just want wheat, not engineered crap that we can even say the ingredients on the packaging of WHEAT. I just think this country needs to do something drastic, because certainly the FDA is doing nothing to help. They have the hands in this too somewhere. See everyone trying to make dollars anyway they can. This is what sometimes makes me fear for what my family long after I am around is going to have to deal with.
