Food time...

Here I am in class again(2 more courses to go then I am done) and I was hungry so I went down to the cafeteria to get something to eat. They really don’t have the best selection, but it is food. Since I always see others posting what they are eating, I wanted to add my gourmet treat to the world of the internet. Tonight I am having some type of mashed potato with BBQ pork. I have had this before and it wasnt to awful. However tonight I received a bonus. The lady dishing up the food asked me if I wanted CHEESE!!!! Awesome.… Well I couldn’t pass up the cheese, I’m not sure if it changes the actual flavor of it. However as many of you know, I have been recently diagnosed as an addicted to milk products. So when I have the opportunity to have cheese or milk, I am required by law to partake of it. Since I am not fond of breaking the law on some things, I had accept the cheese or face the consequences of my actions.


On a related note to food, me and scrat are no longer dating because she will not let me have my buttered corn. Now you might ask if I mean buttered popcorn, but no I mean taking a stick of butter, putting it in a bowl with a can of corn and then eating it. Well she has the audacity to say that this is not healthy. The last time I tried eating this delightful goodness, she actually poured the yummy buttery soup down the drain. All the time she was saying something about heart attacks and other hocus-pocus.






Well, That’s all for tonight, the teacher is making us take a closed book quiz so I guess that means no internet for me.

Im Bored......

I now wonder what it would be like to be bored all the time, I remember back when I was a kid that I did have the occasion of being bored. This was before computers were in every house, if not in every room of the house. I might have had a my fair helping of A.D.D., but I seemed to find stuff to do to keep me occupied. Whether is was shooting birds in the backyard, throwing things at my neighbors, tormenting my brothers and sisters, I kept myself pretty busy. I did however find times where I was just bored and I couldn’t do anything about it. It seemed like time was going so slowly and the day would never end. Looking back, I long for those type of days. Not necessarily the tormenting of siblings or the killing of every bird in my hometown, but the feeling of pure boredom and the feeling that the day would never end. This isn’t some kind of jab at the young Tennessean’s whom I know, but they did get me on this thought process.
My life is currently a non-stop, event packed whirlwind tour of nothing but school, homework, work, repairing cars, maintain a house, maintaining fish, and trying to take care of dogs (poorly at that). Now that list of “chores” might shound like a lot in its own right, however as the infomercials say, “but that’s not all” To this list of daily duties, which I have been at without a break for nearly 3 years, I also am trying to maintain a relationship with the also extremely busy scrat( or scratty as aNon calls her). As if either of us had any extra time to waste, everyone knows that we are selling our homes and trying to find a new one. I would have to admit we didn’t plan this house thing out very well. We never anticipated that TWO houses we wanted would sell before we could make an offer. Therefore, with the non-existent time that we have to breath, we now spend the minutes between all the other activities we have to search for homes. What is the point to all of the ramblings in this blog? Well, I guess in a way it me wishing I could have a day, a week or even a month where I could feel extremely bored. That sounds like a nice state to stay in. I know my schedule is packed but I also have a feeling that there are many others who have the same lack of time as I and all can sympathize with my desire to just do nothing. So I guess the moral of the story is, when your parents tell you to enjoy the boredom while you have it because as many things in life, it does not last very long.
