Fats vs Carbs

Do you know how people can shed like ten pounds in two weeks? They are not actually shedding fat, but rather are shedding water weight.

Let's say someone decides to eat less carbohydrates and sugars for two weeks. If you studied Biochemistry, you'll know that carbs retain more water than fats. So, if you consume less carbs, you retain less water, and therefore your weight goes down. Fats don't retain as much water as carbs.

This is also why fats are such good energy storages. They store energy and prevent you from getting bloated from water. 

Composition of the Undead

My hands race across the piano
Many regrets, many pains, many sorrows
I play my piano once more, hoping to relieve my torture

My hands pick at the guitar
I lost everything to my gambles and gambits
I play my guitar once more, hoping to never make the same mistake

My hands hold the drumsticks and bang out a beat
It would be nice to live once more
I play my drum once more, cause its the only thing I do

Our hands play music because that seems to be the only message everyone understands
We lost many things in our lives
We play our instruments once more, hoping others do not make the same mistake we did.

A Man or a Boy

Sometimes I make really dumb mistakes. I beat myself over it. But hey, on the bright side, I haven't made the same mistake twice. 

Sometimes I feel tired. I feel too tired to care because I felt that its time to pass on the work to the next generation. But hey, on the bright side, at least I have built a foundation for the younger generation to build upon.

Sometimes I wonder whether I am a man, or if I'm still a boy. I do things only to wonder or complain about it afterwards. I eventually come to an agreement with myself. 

It makes me wonder. Sometimes my body language says that I'm tired and old, but on the inside, I still have a fire going. Other times, I look serious and confident, but trembling with fear and excitement on the inside. I can't say which is better.

Are you a boy with a heart of a man, or a man with a heart of a boy?
