Seven Deadly Sins: Gluttony

I’m not immoral. I’m not just not ashamed to admit that I am human and that I possess human wants, needs and desires. Just like everyone else. Even after reading and re-reading and re-reading again my post about Lust, I’ll still stand by my honesty. Be careful before you cast stones.
Today I’ll admit to my gluttonous nature. Gluttony, as defined by dictionary.com, is excessive eating and drinking. From all of the various definitions out there, I’m taking it to mean any habit in which one has no control over. Whether it be food, alcohol, illicit drugs, ciggies, sex… whatever. You know it, I’ve got them all covered.
Admittedly, I am a total fan of Taco Hell. When Diva went on a diet last year and cut all fast food out of the diet, Taco Hell took a major hit and their stock dropped immediately. Yes, I am a serious Taco Hell glutton. No mas. No mas. I am a burritoholic. My willpower sucks. Gluttony at its finest. Too bad there isn’t a Del Taco in Tennesse. It would really be on then.
However, also encapsulated within the definition is excessive drinking. BINGO. That would be me again. I admit, I partake of my fair share of intoxicating beverages. I’m a hard working, professional in the biomedical equipment business all week long, with the exception of the occassional Wednesday outing.
On Friday night, I tend to dive to the bottom of the Michelob Light (and more recently Mich Ultra Amber) and take an evening long swim.
Maybe it will get me elected to public office one day. At least nobody could dig any bones out of my closet. They’ve already been exposed.

When I do something, I tend to do it full bore. Determined. Impatient when things don’t go right, or slowly. Going to the store for a few items and getting stuck in an aisle behind some woman with 5 squalid brats hanging on her… I wanna just yell out expletives, but I was raised better than that.
