I am a regular Emily F*ing Dickinson

128 ounces
By Tony “The Anti-Jared” Posnanski

I have a dog
Her name is Bee
She poops on the floor
And loves to pee
I have a cat
His name is Moe
He is very cute
Just a little slow
As silly as my animals can be
There is one thing that strikes me
I never had to ask Bee or Moe
To make sure to drink “Your H2OOOOOOOOOOOO”

I can not understand why you go a-glitter
And brag about drinking 56 ounces via Twitter
Drinking water is not a marvelous feat
It is a necessity, like breathing and food to eat
Yet people make it out like it is so hard
They want to pull out the “I am too busy” card
“I can believe I forgot to drink it don’t you see!”
“I could not stop at 7/11 and buy a Fuji!”

We all have our struggles, most make us cringe
We all sneak a snack, even binge
We all skip a workout from time to time
Even have a delicious Bombay Sapphire with a lime
We all will gain and lose weight don’t you know
It is okay, we get the fact that we Yo-Yo
Yet, it makes absolutely no sense to me
That we forget to drink water, a necessity.
When we do drink it, we throw our fists in the air
Like we won a Super Bowl, like the 85 Bears.
Here is a piece of advice you can take from me*
Drink lots of water,it is free!!!

Sorry about my rant, it was a bit long
For inspiration, I am sure Jack Sh*t has a dandy of a song!

    LOL!

    I don't like drinking water, but I add sugar-free flavorings and then it's not so bad.

    That's great! I agree, drinking water is probably the easiest "healthy" thing you can do for yourself.

    Ha! Love it. I was just thinking this the other day after reading a blog post about how they binged all day…but they got in 64 ounces of water!

    It's great to get in the water…but it's kind of one of those things your body should just do…

    I agree! I never understood why we had to keep a detailed log at JC about exactly how much and when you consumed a glass of water! You probably already know this but tap water is supposed be better for you! Most bottled lacks the minerals our bodies so desperately need. Our local news here did a report on it a few months back. Good ole Washington tap water!

    Hard to believe that when I was morbidly obese I went for months, MONTHS without ever drinking a glass of water. Isn't that nuts??

    Love your artistic talent :)

    You and Jack Sh*t are going to have to duke it out for the title of Poet Laureate of blogsville! Very hilarious. Also – I jsut read your Wednesday post (i think) about the fart, and was LOLing at my desk to the point that passersby were asking me what on earth I was laughing at. I simply said, "potty humor, my favorite." Thanks for the great laugh.

    Hi there,

    I just visited your blog. I have to say that I was very impressed by what I saw. Well done on your great work!

    My name is Marco Yap. Am currently doing a web ticker project that lets people track their progress towards their exercise and fitness goal.

    The ticker shows your cumulative exercise duration towards your goal together with your recent exercise data. You can add the ticker to blogs, emails, forum posts, websites or anywhere you can paste code.

    At first, I started this project because I wanted to create something that can motivate my family to exercise more. I was surprised that it ended up appealing to the others.

    As your blog is related to exercise and fitness, I was wondering if you can add the ticker to your blog roll/useful links section. I believe that it has got something that your visitors will find interesting. If you want a reciprocal link in return, please let me know.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Best regards,

    Marco Yap
