Give me candy or give me death!

So it's 1 am, and I should go to bed, but I can't, so I'll blog about candy instead. Let me tell you the dang truth, candy is just amazing, and granted kids know this, but we as adults sort of forget about it and start eating salads and things. And right now, I'm having a second renaissance in this season of life, getting back to my love for the stuff! My candy consumption has jumped 300% over the last 6 months. I think it started by trying to stay awake at work, so, wanting the sugar rush to keep things moving. But it's moved on to my home life too. Granted, I eat real food, but if I had the choice between the two, candy wins. Haha, do you remember that movie Heavyweights? I always loved that amazing stash of candy the kids had in their cabin. I've always wanted a stash like that, but, let' be honest, I just can't keep candy like that.

By the way, new favorite candy, Kit Kats. I think going to Europe helped out with that, they have amazing chocolate wafer things, and, Kit Kats are a throwback to that. They're just really good.

So fish still gross me out, but....

You know they're pretty cool. I've been learning about them cause we're looking at the positive impacts that growing Kelp in the ocean would have on the the oceans. And the environment that these kelp mats create support over 100 different species of fish, 5 species of sea turtles, and even birds and dolphins. Because Kelp floats in the water, and fish are attracted to floating things, they naturally want to hang out. Many make it there home, and where these kelp mats are, life explodes! So, yea, pretty cool stuff. My guess, is that an acre of cultured kelp could create a home for over 50,000 fish. That's pretty significant considering how overfished our oceans are, a very cool co-benefit of growing kelp for ethanol. A square mile of the stuff could support millions of fish.

But it's whatevs, I'm still not going to eat them. I'll stick to pizza and chicken, thank you shoot.
