Nigerians are starving and my family is hosting giant burrito eating contests!!! Oh America. You so crazy!!! Today, my nephew Dillon was challenged to eat a burrito dubbed "Don't Even Think About It" from a restaurant in Kalamazoo, MI called "The Big Burrito". "The Behemoth" as I affectionately call it, measures nearly 30 inches long and is filled with burrito goodness that only genuine Mexicans could create. (Those Mexicans are mad scientists!!!) To make a short story even shorter, he couldn't finish it. 17 inches was all he could devour. I too ingested 17 inches of burrito delight. The size I ordered was aptly named, "The Big Burrito".

I've got a beef with fortune cookies. They just aren't fortunes anymore. What kind of fortune is "You are deeply attached to your family and home,"??? Not only is that gross, but it's not a fortune--it's an observation. How can I become emotionally invested in my fortune when it reads, "You are truly admired." Gee thanks. I'm glad you noticed, fortune cookie.

What happened to the good ol' days when fortune cookies made wild, reckless predictions about what may happen to me the moment I leave the chinese restaurant??
"You will find a treasure chest filled with gold under your bed next Tuesday." Now that's a fortune. Think about how good your cookie will taste after reading a fortune like that?? Uh...try sticky sweet? And who cares if it doesn't come true!?!? I'm still going to be filled with anticipation the rest of the week, and quite possibly dissapointment. But I'm fine with that. At least I won't be lulled into a coma after reading "You have firm convictions, stand strong behind them." Gimme the gold cookie, gimme' the gold.

I became aware of one of my strange habits today. While relieving myself in the restroom, if there is a magazine with a human being on the cover, I feel compelled to flip it over. I cannot stand them watching me...relieve myself. Relieving away as Julia Roberts or Colin Ferril stares at me, isn't my idea of privacy. Relieve!!!!! MYSELF!!!! M-Y-S-E-L-F!!!! With no magazine spies watching me. I'm not sure this blog was a good idea.

Yay! Danny D and his lady companion bought a pair of "rollerblades" today. We both selected the K2 EXO 6.0 as our skate of choice. (I couldn't decide between the EXO and a leather pair of ROLLERskates!!! Remember? 2X2 wheels? Birthday parties? Rinks? Bob Segar?)

I picked up season 3 and a half of Ren & Stimpy on the DVD. Man...that cartoon was so...stinky good. I watched a couple before I ventured on into work. Poor Stimpy realized he wasn't wearing pants. Me TOO!!!! AHHH!!!!!

Euchetey-Duke! I've been playing alot of Eucher lately. Apparently it's very "Michigander-ish" to play this particular card game. My nephews and niece are getting older and have recently learned the game, providing me 3 players ready to "get yer trump on" at any given moment. Sure, Yahoo! provides online games 24/7 but there's nothing like yelling "Euchetey-DUKE!" and seeing the look on your opponent's face as you "set" their team on the last trick.

In other, even less constructive news, Xbox LIVE is also pulling me away from many of my responsibilities. HALO2 in particular. 'Rumblepit' to be precise.

Got heavy usage out of our new Vonage phone system today. Good product.....so far.
