microtheme rough draft

About once a week I get get my dinner or lunch from a fast food restaurant. As I walk through the front door with my bag of fast food, I am greeted with my mother yelling at me that if I continue to eat this way I will eventually suffer later on in my life. While I usually continue to eat my fast food despite my mother’s warning, it does make me think of why so many people today still choose to poison their bodies with fast food , knowing the possible consequences.

Perhaps people consciously choose to eat fast food because they think that their diet will eventually change. Many young adults assume that as they get older their diet will head in a more healthier direction, even this is rarely the case for many.  Another reason people choose to eat fast food rather than a nutritious home cooked meal is because of the convenience of fast food. Not only is fast food usually cheaper than actually preparing a meal, it also requires almost no preparation time besides waiting in line and ordering. To many, the positives of fast food outweigh the positives of cooking at home, which is

If we could realize that what we put in our body today could eventually give us a heart attack, cause a variety of diseases, and even cut our lives’ short then maybe we would think twice when deciding to eat fast food.

Not so New New Car

So about two weeks ago I purchased a 2004 330ci BMW. While it is an upgrade from the car that I had before which is a 2000 BMW 323ci, to my neighbors I look like some kid that bought two of the same cars for no reason. However, there is an explanation for my somewhat reckless purchase. While I loved my 2000 BMW and made a promise that I would keep it throughout my four years of college, I became ashamed of it when my friends 2017 Honda Civic smoked me at a stoplight. I was able to play my loss off by saying my car need to warm up first and that I purposely slowed down to avoid hitting the curb, but I knew that I my prized 2000 BMW 323ci was slow. I considered going a couple routes to increase the speed, I thought of throwing a turbo charger on the beemer, but after some research I discovered that the engine on my 2000 BMW is known to blow up when turboed. So I decided that I would swap my engine out and put the engine that was in a 330ci BMW into my little 323ci BMW. After adding up all the cost, the time and labor I would spend doing the job, and assessing the possibility of me botching the car entirely, I decided that it would be a lot more practical for me to just buy a 330CI BMW, which is the same exact car but with different engine. And that is why I brought my not so new new car.
