USA take notes) read “Chicken Parmagiana”, or “Meal of the Gods”.  Now I don’t just bolt in every restaurant that has this delicious dish, oh no baby birds, they have to earn it.  Since I am a poor uni student it has to be reasonably priced.  Once these two criterium are met…game on, take me to the trough.  The joy I get from this leads me to why I vote for a mandatory “Eat What You Love Day of the Week”…I think everyone would benefit.  Here is what it’ll bring to the table</p> <ul> <li>Happier people</li> <li>More productive people</li> <li>Nicer people</li> <li>Stimulate the restaurant business</li> <li>Stimulate all vertically integrated businesses</li> </ul> <p>This day could alone take any slow economy and put it into hyperdrive.  Did I just cure every economic slowdown in the world?  I think so.</p> <p><b>Tomorrow’s topic</b>: Cannibalism: <i>The Cure to the World’s Hunger.</i></p>http://blog.aaronchiles.com/post/43507165http://blog.aaronchiles.com/post/43507165Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:53:43 -0400It’s true.  I love bandwidth.  I love it so much I went to my 6GB cap in 10 days.  I guess I’ll have to change a lot of my Internet usage habits.  I miss America’s Internet.  I did find an unsecured wifi for my iPhone to hop on though, score.http://blog.aaronchiles.com/post/43473109http://blog.aaronchiles.com/post/43473109Fri, 25 Jul 2008 02:10:34 -0400<p>I just checked the weather for tomorrow and this is what it has told me:</p> <p>“Times of clouds and sun, High of 61 degrees.”</p> <p>Translating to Americanese:  Partly Cloudy.</p> <p>What a good outlook on like…eh tomorrow’s going to have times of clouds, but no worries it’ll have sun too</p>http://blog.aaronchiles.com/post/43376988http://blog.aaronchiles.com/post/43376988Thu, 24 Jul 2008 07:29:05 -0400I think I am going to start a podcast.  More information coming…http://blog.aaronchiles.com/post/42898081http://blog.aaronchiles.com/post/42898081Sun, 20 Jul 2008 06:19:41 -0400
