Well, here I am with my first public post.  It’s gonna blow your mind I’m sure.

Today is pay day.  I traditionally splurge a bit on lunch on pay day.  Why?… Why not?

You see, for me to afford my extravagant lifestyle of fine bourbons and eccentric home decor, I’m forced to budget myself to a slim $2/day for lunch.  I’m sure you’re thinking, “Ashton, how is that possible?” to which I sincerely look deep into your pretty eyes and reply, “Baby… it’s tricky.”

My solution – Walk to work, that saves you $2 off your bus fare that you can slide into your lunch budget, instantly doubling it.  (Or eat leftovers and roll everything into your happy hour account!)

Today’s special treat:  A Gyros Pita, Curly Fries w/ Nacho Cheese, and a Fountain Coke in a Foam Cup (the holiest of all holies in the coke drinkers world) all from Chicago Pita at the Merchandise Mart.

Jealous?  Probably not.  I think most people are freaked out by gyros, but my God are they ever tasty.

Everything racked up to a whopping $8.51.

Tomorrow I’ll be back to PB&J, most likely.  Or maybe tuna, I’ve been in the mood for tuna lately.

In other news…

Today’s thinking about being warm, which makes me miss my bike.  The problem there is I need to go get my bike from my old apartment, then fix all the damage done by Mr. John John.  He somehow managed to disassemble and lose important parts WHILE riding it.  It’s actually rather amazing.  I also need a pump, and a lock, and some cool spandex shorts.

This is John John from his “Not-Gay Boys of Boystown Calender”…

This is me and my bike…
