It's been some time since I posted a blog. I've had all of these ideas and inspirations tumbling around in my head, and have been anticipating making a nice blog post which could perfectly summarise all that I've been thinking of. These thoughts? Inklings of romance, atmosphere in games, social constructions and artistic woes. Although, being the lazy being that I am, I fail to act on the inspiration of these ideas, so they are fleeting, and changing, and I no longer feel the need to share them with others; but this time I'm sharing something, straight up.

Food:

Hunger, thirst, eating and drinking; such seemingly menial yet important aspects of survival. More than anything else, I think hunger is what we most take for granted. I've come to be able to narrow aspects of life down to being either evolutionary and innate or learned and disposable. Hunger is one thing which I can most easily identify as an important evolutionary habit. I don't think anything else in the world holds as much importance, enigma and wonder as nutritional satiation does. I just finished reading an interesting book, and this particular passage stuck out at me:

I believe this to be true enough. Fasting is damn hard; you can't focus at all, and you feel physically, mentally and spiritually empty. I can understand why fasting is such a big deal in religion.

I've always thought of feasting and indulging in delicious food something wonderful, sacred even. One can look back on history and see how dining was such a relished activity. I've noticed it in literature too; reading through A bunch of fantasy novels, including the Lord of The Rings trilogy, it's amazing to see just how meaningful food is to the characters, and how in depth descriptions of feasts go.

For me, you could say that food is my religion. Every day I worship by feasting and pray by drinking. I have faith in food. Additionally, I've had countless profound experiences in my life, most of which tie into a certain kind of food I was eating, or a meal I had. Most of my childhood/teen memories are those of the milkshakes my mum would make me, the candy I'd buy from the shop after school, the hot chips I'd get on weekends, the delicious chicken schnitzel and mashed potatoes (a staple meal for our family), the cheap pizzas we'd buy every Tuesday, The 80c baguettes we'd have for dinner in France, the $2 double bacon cheeseburgers we'd buy at Jack in The Box, etc.

Food is the most reliable and lavish source of comfort and happiness in life.
