It'll BLOW your mind.

It'll blow your mind... With a woman wearing bright red lipstick facing down a sandwich, it definitely brings other ideas to your mind. With mental imagery and a play on words, they bring an idea that the sandwich is manly and satisfying. Claiming the sandwich is "super" and using imagery like "juicy", "flame-grilled", and "yearn". Although, the fact that you can get the whole sandwich, a medium coke and fries for $6.25 is the best part! A satisfying meal, that gives you everything you need, without breaking the bank. As far as I'm concerned, no beef patty is seven inches long. I'm pretty sure unless you're getting a mean piece of steak, no single slice of meat is seven inches long. So, let's sum this up, you're gonna get an unnaturally long beef patty, cheese, onions, and a soda with some french fries, because you needed the extra calories at that point. To top it all off, they smother A1 sauce all over the top; the "Thick & Hearty" kind. Yeah, more like thick and give you cardiac arrest kind.

5.9 Earth's!?

My lifestyle would take 5.9 Earths and 26.5 global acres if everyone lived like me! I have a huge ecological footprint, which is the amount of resources I use. I realize that even though I don't eat much meat and I try and support local farmers as much as possible, I very much enjoy my luxuries at home. The biggest piece out of my pie chart was my services! Such as air conditioning, my heated blanket for when I'm cold, and my shower that I could spend all day in! I'd be one unhappy camper without all the things my parents and the earth is providing me. I'm going to try and cut down on the time I spend in the shower and turning up the air conditioning when I'm not at home so it doesn't have to use as much energy to cool the house down. Another thing I'm going to focus on is recycling much, much more!

All about me!


My name is Tamara Rice and I am currently eighteen years old. I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. Contrary to most people who have ever lived in the north, I love snow and winter clothes. I love layering sweaters, jackets, and scarves. I currently have lived in Naples, Florida for four years. I love any form of expression, including: tattoos, art, and music. I ride horses whenever I'm not eating or sleeping and I have been that way since I was four years old. I spend at least three hours a day around horses and if I don't, I go through horsey-withdrawls. I have a beautiful horse named Heidi. She is an Appaloosa, which were bred by the Nez Perce indians. We compete at all levels of horseback riding. She is currently ranked fifth best pony in the nation for our style of riding and has qualified for nationals in New York four years running. I can play three instruments: violin, guitar, and piano. I also enjoy singing. Bjork, Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, Ani DiFranco, and Portishead being some of my favorites. I am a current BS of Biology at FGCU and am looking forward to a life of working with horses!
