I can't believe it's not a blog...

Just finished eating toast with butter and strawberry jam. Well, not real butter but "I can't believe it's not butter". I think this has got to be one of the most ingenious ideas ever. Taking something that's widely known as unhealthy but making it less unhealthy for the masses that can't live without it. Imagine if we could create less sinful substitutes for our hedonistic vices! I'd wake up every morning and have "I can't believe it's not bacon and eggs" and wash it down with "I can't believe it's not beer". I'd probably spend the rest of the day watching "I can't believe it's not porn" while smoking "I can't believe it's not weed" though I'd rather have "I can't believe it's not sex" with "I can't believe it's not Jessica Alba".

The idea of living a life uninhibited is really enticing and at times I find myself torn between being my regular conservative self and actually abandoning my principles to join my friends gone wild. If only I had a healthier alternative. I'd like to think that some of my choices come from carefully weighing the risks and consequences and not me being a prude but I could be wrong. Maybe I am living life too carefullly. I know that sometimes it's nice to indulge in the actual sin and not a cheap imitation but where do you draw the line? Am I missing out on life? I wonder.
