Ode To Flamin' Hot Cheetos

Oh the joy,
Oh the splendor
Oh the PAIN!
The first little bite is bold, not only on the part of the biter but on the burst of sudden flavor that is different than any other experience. That’s not so bad, you think, so away you go with three or four other red dyed chunks of crunch. Wow, now that is hot but wait……….
Air gets in as you talk and well, let’s just say it fans the flames.
Away you go searching for liquid, hot, cold, coke, water, anything…..
Out of desperation, still holding the bag of Cheetos, you grab the collar of your shirt and fan and flap it, as if that will help. Then you wave your hand in front of your face seeing red fingers and after wondering if your body is about to burst into flames as the red indicators at the end of your arms suggest, you realize you now have red dye on you clothes. As your eyes begin to water from tears of grief and tears of, well, being a sissy, you quickly reach up and rub away a tear but within a Milo-second the pain hits yours eyes and your body is thrown into a lurching dance and you are now hoping around somewhat moaning and still looking for liquid. Soon, after an hour or so, everything cools down and you tell yourself, “Oh that wasn’t so bad” and you reach for just one more.

I used to work at Ft Worth ISD and the kids would eat these all the time and so I thought that I would just try them to see what the big deal was. Well, let me tell you, if you think you would like to try these then be ready for an experience that will change your life... not only will you lose sleep from the heart burn later that night... you will start to crave the darn things.

Updated: Liberty my dog also likes these but she to thinks they are hot. I offer her a flamin' hot cheeto and she reaches out stretching her neck as far as she can and then she moves her lips back, out of the way of the cheeto and takes it and eats it. It is really funny to watch her work to keep her lips out of the way. I am sure they burn her lips just the same as they do mine.

What a Great Rule!


You know this is a great rule. Don't you think so. I am always looking for a new way to have fun. I am here at home and have been it seems forever..... I am applying for several jobs right now and I have one that looks very very hopeful. Of course this would not be my life's calling to work this certain job but for the time being it will be good, mainly because it comes with a paycheck. I haven't had a paycheck since Aug of 2005...... can you believe that? Well, all I have to say is that God provides but now I want to give Him a rest and my parent's a rest as well. Have mercy! Please pray that the right job will come along and all will be paid well...........
and remember to make things fun no matter waht is going on.

Great Day In The Morning.... It's Snowing!!!!!



HEY.....SNOW IN TEXAS....This is nice, I love snow. This is a picture from my window looking at downtown Ft Worth. I stayed inside all day and watched TV and stayed under the blankets. Snow always amazes me... the silence that it brings and the stillness that seems to hover all around. It is almost as if the snow is demanding our attention in the way that it changes everything that it touches. I love the snow!!!!

Same ol' same ol'



Goodness...... 5 months and here I am again with no real excuses about why I haven't blogged???? Well, I wish I had some great exciting news to tell. None, just the same old same old. Let's see in the past 5 months I still don't have a job, I am working at the apartment still and I love it, but no money coming in is a bit old. I have been in contact more with Akan in Nigeria, my best friend in the whole wide world, and that always makes me smile. I found a little church where I am getting to minister in song and I love it. Good old fashion preaching, get your stuff right or you are going to end up in hell. I love that kinda preaching.... of course there is more to it than that, but can't find to many preachers these days willing to tell the plain truth.

My family is all doing fine and they are all happy. I sure wish that I would be better about being in touch with extended family......maybe that will be something that I will try to do for the new year.

I do plan to write more more often and now that I have it written down, maybe I will actually do it........ time will tell.
