Multiple Personalities

I suspect that, by now, many of you are feeling like A.L. in their comment to my previous post. I think they're wondering if, maybe, I don't have various personalities that are exhibited only when writing for MyndFood.

One day I post a humorous sports video; on another, I post a introspective indictment, bitter at myself for snapping at Gentry; on another, I write about humorous things Lex and Gentry say; on one, I post videos of myself sticking quarters in my nose; and today, I post a book-length economic treatise, replete with a video of me badgering poor, innocent teenagers with convoluted economic principles.

I guess, in hindsight, I can't blame you for being confused A.L., particularly since this last post is a bit of a departure from my typical fare.

Allow me to elaborate. First, MyndFood is intended to be your cyber-restaurant of choice; my goal is to serve up tasty, well-prepared dishes on a daily basis, for your mental consumption. Some days I serve up steak and lobster; sometimes it's a hamburger and fries; on others its a carrot and a piece of celery; and on occassion, it's a smorgasboard of desserts-german chocolate cake, banana pudding, coconut creme pie, chocolate chip cookies, and triple-fudge ice cream.

My prior post, for many of you, was liver and onions (which, strangely enough, Mother LOVES). It might have seemed dry and lacking in flavor, but I PROMISE it's EXTREMELY nourishing. You should eat it.

But please, don't fear; the menu's not changing. The truth is that I posted the video and essay for an Economic Communicators Contest that I entered. They required that I submit a video of myself speaking about an economic concept, as well as a written submission. I could have simply emailed the files in, but in a shameless plug, I chose to use MyndFood as my media of choice.

Who knows; perhaps Walter Williams (renowned economist who fills in for Rush Limbaugh from time to time) or John Stossel (from ABC's 20/20)--both judges for the competition--will find MyndFood entertaining or enlightening, and will come back for more!

At any rate, hop over and take a look at the contest details. For those of you who have more time than money, take a few minutes out and watch the videos submitted by last year's winners; tell me if you think I'm in way over my head here!

Thanks for sticking with me folks!

One heaping order of rice pudding, coming right up!

LIVER and ONIONS? I’m glad I haven’t read your previous post and will not read it now! Nutritious or not, it is LIVER and ONIONS!

I do understand the approach you take to deliver your Blogging smorgasbord that is why I enjoy visiting Myndfood.

One idea that I think is genius, (I thought of it myself) you should, next to the title of every post, write a food dish you feel it closely resembles in flavor, nutrition and delicacy. Here is an example:

INVISIBLE HANDS & FREE MARKETS (Liver and Onions)

-OR-

FAMOUS? (Brownie topped with Vanilla Ice cream)

And then with your quotes of the week, or short tidbits you could compare them to dietary supplements like Omega-3 or Ginseng.

What do you think?
