So, we’ve all heard about Michael Phelps’s crazy diet. 12000 calories a day is an amazing energy intake. Those of you know me may or may not know that I’m pretty in to both nutrition and cooking these days. Therefore I do not eat like Michael Phelps, because most days I’m sitting in an ambulance. I like to work out and run in the woods and be active when I can, but EMS work isn’t anything like the constant energy burn of bike courier-dom.

However, I LOVE food. Usually food that’s not good for me. So, if I could eat like Michael Phelps, this would most likely be my meal plan.

Breakfast

• scrambled eggs with cheese
• A Cinnabon (the crappy microwaved kind you get at Sunspot at Winter Park)
• 3 cups of Irish coffee
• a chicken fried steak
• a plate of hash browns
• 2 White Russians
• biscuits
• sausage gravy
• a McDonalds Steak, Egg, and Cheese bagel (modified to be an everything bagel)
• One of each kind of Whataburger taquito
• 3 IHOP smiley face chocolate chip pancakes

or, barring the creation of that breakfast menu, Sherry of the Sherry’s Soul Food Kitchen in Deland could come cook me whatever she wanted.

Further meals to come… I’d write them down now, but I’m just getting REALLY hungry.

So it’s obviously been a while since I’ve posted anything to this space… you’ll have to forgive me. In the last couple months I’ve moved across the country for a job, and it’s been whirlwind trying to manage all the stuff that goes with actually establishing myself in a new place. I actually had to get a Colorado driver’s license. THAT was wierd. Now I’m trying to get my car legal and tie up a lot of loose ends in my life that have been swinging for a while.

I’m starting to DJ again now that I’ll be working an EMS schedule (48 hours on, 96 hours off) and have picked up Traktor Scratch as my newest DJ software of choice. Once I get my mixer repaired, I’ll be in business. I’ll be traveling to Dallas in the next couple of weeks to DJ a charity event for Equest, a therapeutic riding center, so if you’re there, I’ll be down for the weekend. Other than that, things are good. I’m running a lot, as there are some really nice trails all over this town and I don’t see why mountain bikers should get to have all the fun.

New DJ mix will be out soon… working title is California Sun, but I’m sure I can think of something less cheesy. If you can guess the theme of the mix you win a prize.
