This lovely random post comes from a conversation I overheard between Chrome and his daughter. Why is it mostly people seem to prefer one over the other in both forks and spoons but not knives? I mean you use a butter knife for little things like spreading peanut butter and jelly and you use a giant carbon fiber tipped diamond sharpened blade that'll cut through single molecules of air as you swish it around to cut steak. But oh no not forks and spoons, you can use any combo despite the whole bigger spoon being a soup spoon and all used to what else, SOUP! I myself seem to like the smaller forks and spoons, except when eating Capt N' Crunch, Count Chocula or other such nutritious cereal of the gods you have to use a big wooden spoon, and a giant bowl, with lots of milk to drink afterwards. *as a side note the best song about cereal ever is right here* Well it's not really milk it's more like sucrose with calcium but hey it's the drink that helps the meal go down. Now even though I use the smaller forks and spoons, I can still seem to out shovel most if not everyone I know. Yes shovel, don't get me wrong I enjoy my food but it is best enjoyed by my stomach as to not hold up my mouth from all that gratuitous chewing, just shovel, bite, swallow and repeat. This way you get maximum goodness, in the shortest amount of time and can do more later while you savor all the great tastes all mixing around in your belly. The best quote I've come to love for this action is from my hero Meatwad, "2 men enter, no men leave" that about sums up my battle with food, no sight of bulimia here.
It's all going so fast
Damn these 2 classes in school went by quick, I feel fairly well about the outcome too. I have to keep focused though and try and get another certification before school starts back up. I looked up my Chinese Astrological Sign and found out I'm determined in my ways, got that right, prefer to follow, check, if I disagree you better get the CIA and FBI to give me the evidence I'm wrong cause I'm not believing you till then, half a check and the reason I need to focus cause I'm motivated to a point and then nothing. So I gotta keep myself in check and do whatever it takes to try and get through a test in 2 weeks. Still can't shake what's going on outta my head, not sure what to do or say but really there's nothing left just gotta keep on the positive side and make everyday count try and do the best I can.

The night sky
Last night, looking up at the sky, the moon was brilliant, it kind of makes you remember that we are just a small blip in this universe. It also makes me remember to take all the time I have and cherish it. The time spent with family and friends is irreplaceable and I sometimes wish I could record it all and play it back when at home. I'm pretty sure I know where Louis Armstrong received all his inspiration for "What a Wonderful World" now.

Don't want to hear it
There are some things you don't want to hear, today one of those things happened. It's rather odd, how does one act, or change, or even try and cope? Do you just keep on doing until it's over or should you run out and do everything you ever thought, hoped and dreamed about? No one can answer these questions right or wrong because everyone is different. I hope I have the strength like I think I do, to be able to hold firm. It was really hard hearing the news, and took a lot to not brush it off or make a joke to lighten up the mood because there really isn't any to be made to make it go away. Sometimes life gives you shit and you need to put on your boots and get through it with all you can. If you can't that's what friends and family are for, they pick you up, don't let you quit and stand there with you. They may give you more shit when it's over but they are there when you need them most. Like the support beams of a house the more there are the stronger the whole.

Holding Too Tightly
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control" Linkin Park - Numb
For some reason I actually heard this lyric and it meant something too me. This is one thing I should have never done, and is one thing I could have prevented. I was so afraid of loosing that I held on and lost everything. How it happened I'll never know, I used to be able to just go with the flow, nothing mattered. I guess things change and you get caught up and loose sight of what is important, the present, the past or the future. Maybe it is the hope of an outcome that would mean everything you are blinded by the future when the present is what should be your focus. You should only reflect on the past to learn from your mistakes nothing more. Memories are nice keepsakes but they are just that and will not change. I see now why everything went the way it did, you have to let go to really see what comes back and what was never meant to be. I lost the person I was and became too controlling and too hypocritical. But like I've said in the past things are looking up now, I am getting back to who I was and I am able to just be and what comes my way I take it for all it is worth at that moment, should it leave, I may not want it to, but I must stand strong and let it go its own way.

Movie Review - Dead Alive
"THE BITE, THE BITE!!" ahh those words are the start of one of the goriest movies in history. Perfect for a day when RED is everywhere, it so it is on the screen. This movie is best know for it's amazing amounts of the red stuff, and if you are used to Freddy and Jason let's just say combined all those movies and maybe just maybe after you throw in a pink of Leatherface some Mike Myers and a pinch of Chucky you would have the right amount of bloodshed. Now that isn't to say there is no story here, on the contrary there is. Strange man steals rare monkey, gets bitten, killed, monkey is whisked away to a far off place, England, and in the zoo seems happy maiming it's other kin until it happens upon an old lady to scratch. Son loves mom, but mom turns into crazy zombie and brings about a whole town of zombies including a hilarious baby that is the love child of a zombie priest and nurse. What more do you need for a movie after adding heaps of ketchup and chicken guts? Oh yeah a LAWN MOWER, this movies has thee best use of a lawn mower I have ever seen that and the best use of lower intestines. This is by far not a date movie unless your date happens to be turned on by limbs a flying in which case man is she gonna be like a volcano for you. This movie gets a perfect 5 out of 5 for blending humor with raw guts in a way that is thrilling to watch the zillionth time through. Make sure to pick up the unrated version for the extra bucket of syrup thrown at you.

mmm extra space
So I have this extra 250gb drive just sitting here looking at me saying, hey fill me up. Problem is I have no more slots in my computer to use. Hrm I also really need to get all this other crap burned off my drive so I can have space free instead of just leaving it on there. I would really like to build a nice video work station but then I would actually have to use it and have nothing to use it on. I did watch Full Contact and no I'm not going to give a full review of it but it was fairly decent, though the setups were sometimes phony it was still a decent Chow Yun Fat movie with some gun play in it. It did have a pretty hot asian chick in it too, Ann Bridgewater, I know doesn't sound asian at all but she did fit the girl next door motif I'd say about 85-90%. All in all school is going pretty well and work still sucks ass but everything else is looking mighty fine right now. I am however fighting the urge to play Playboy: The Mansion, I mean come on everyone wants to be Hef, and you get to direct your own photo shoots with the bunnies.

Live like you were dying
So cycling through my music and on comes this song Tim Mcgraw - Live Like You Were Dying from Promo Only December 2004. Hrm interesting metaphor. I would like to think that right now in my life I've done as much as I can to be happy and make the people around me happy. I know I'm not prefect, hell pretty far from it but I still know that when the cards are dealt and things seem in the crapper I try and put on my boots and wading pants and try and make the best till the next big buffet of food comes my way. Still looking forward there is so much left to do sometimes it seems like planning a trip to Mt. Everest and only having the shoes so far. Well atleast my new goal is getting a projector to actually have a functional Home Theater. It will be far from complete but with that in place the other things like seating, lighting, more speakers (except sub, cause if you've heard it Chrome and I never need a sub again unless someone grants us a B-12/Plus 4) and newer electronics will be able to put together slowly the ultimate room, that however is never really done. My first goal is finishing up school and my second goal being the Home Theater help me wade through this life with the best intentions.

WANTED
Oh sure they look all cute and cuddly and innocent but beware. The one on the left, she's like a car alarm that never goes off and you never have the key fob to turn it off. Behind those blacker than black eyes lies a destructive force able to tear a house apart in less time then a pack of clowns hopped up on goofballs and Jolt cola. The one on the right he's the brains, slow and methodical waiting for the right chance to take any and all remaining food in sight. You have been warned.

Laught it up
So there I am getting all ready for work, making my coffee, a sausage & egg biscuit (SEB) and putting my tie on. What I don't know is that the cleaning crew from the previous night was out to get me. Oh they had it setup perfectly alright, I walk out, coffee and SEB in hand and as I walk I had to pass upon some packing bubbles. Oh you know you love them, they just pop pop pop all day long, stress reliever and package saver well today they are THE ENEMY. So right as I'm stepping on them I'm also turning a corner and guess what? Yup one foot smack into the garbage can, causing me to spill my coffee and drop my SEB. But that's not so bad right, wrong over tumbles the garbage can and spill it on top of my SEB rendering even the 3 second rule useless. I say conspiracy, since the cleaning crew obviously didn't take out that can and had to have planted that piece of bubble wrap. -_- Hrmm something tell's me they need to feel the power of the quad laser. On a happy note things are still looking up so thankfully it wasn't just some fluke that caused my luck to change and my days to be brighter.

Quick Update
My main man Chrome has got a picture of my restaurant up at his blog, pretty nice place though the drive is hell being down here in boca and having it up in Dayton Beach :) He's got some cute kids too, best thing to do is bring them Donuts and Coffee, boy do they love that stuff, it's like cranking that spin toy back till it makes that "KRACK KRACK KRACK" sound and watching it go across the linoleum floor. Now I see why grandparents have so much fun, get’em going and give them back, cause they aren’t yours HA! Things keep getting better and better around here, smile on my face and not a care in the world, ok except bills.
