Good Evening Folks,
Ever get those moments where you have a great idea and when you want to apply it, nothing comes out? I'm having one of those moments right now. I'm attempting to come up with a great blog, and I have absolutely nothing coming out. You know what, I'll be right back. (Stops blogging in order to take a warm shower)
Okay I feel much better. Standing in a nice hot shower pumps ideas through you like nothing else. So with that, I give you my blog: COOKING!! Yes I love to cook. It's what I want to go to school for, how I want to make a living, and most importantly, it makes me happy. People always say if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. That's what I want. I don't want to "work." I want to enjoy something that puts money in my pocket. I mean the idea of owning a restaurant is awesome. Something Creole, or a Steakhouse, or just something that I can be proud of. The kicker though of that idea would be No one under the under the age of 18 WITHOUT an adult. Yeah you heard me. Only people 18 and over would be able to enjoy my restaurant unless there are parents. Even then though, I think it'll be at least the age of 13. I'm sorry but if I go to a nice place to eat with my lovely, I don't want to be aggravated. And be honest, you wouldn't want to be right? Yeah, I thought so.
Random Thoughts: Food Edition!
~Paella: God's way of wanting you to enjoy everything in life. Rice, Seafood, Meat, Spices, and awesomeness.
~I'm such a cheese fiend it's almost wrong. Goat cheese? Hell yeah. Cheddar? Bring it on! Gouda? Holla at me. Gorgonzola? Give me a salad and you got a deal. Etc etc etc, I love cheese
~I prefer grilling more than anything. Give me a steak, a piece of chicken, spices, or sauces, and I can guarantee you a very delicious meal
~Love to deep fry! I am calling it right now: I make THE BEST fried chicken you'll ever taste
~Fish tacos are very underrated. It's all about the fish though! If you don't get the right fish and the right batter, you're screwed. Suggestion: Tempura batter, and cod. You won't go wrong
Chili Cheese Fries is Top Five all time guilty pleasure. I would destroy anyone in my way for an amazing plate
So yes it's a short blog, but I leave you with a "tasty" song! Say goodnight Jimmy Buffet

Why Fight If They'll Just Kill You
I Hate Politics. Plain and simple, I can't effin stand politics. Like my sister Tracy says, "It doesn't matter. Everyone is corrupt and they only help themselves." I agree with her for the most part. Even though I hope that someday, a politician will come around to help the working class get back to par, help the lower class to gain a spot in the working world, deep down it's not going to happen. People are just too greedy, to easily corrupt, and too damn ignorant. Now granted, I'm not the sharpest knife in the draw. I am not a politician, nor a lawyer, etc etc. But come on, the issues that people have and the laws they want done are almost Russia-esque. Let me explain...
I'm a registered independent. I look at both sides, and choose who I think MIGHT help me the most. I'm pro-choice, pro gun control, pro death. I'm all for the legalization and taxing of Marijuana, tax breaks for those that make less than $250k, universal health care that's affordable, pro gay marriage, all that good stuff. To be honest, I'm more concerned with being Pro-Choice. Mainly because it's A WOMAN'S BODY! Why can't she do what she want to it? Examples: If she's a crack whore, would you want her to parade a child around with her? If a woman is pregnant, and the only way to save her is to terminate the pregnancy, wouldn't she want to live? Men, if that happened to you, wouldn't YOU want her to live too? If you don't think so, then let me introduce you to a guy named Rick Santorum.
He's an asshole. Honestly, a guy like him is what I would consider the biggest scumbag next to me actual birth parents. His stance on abortion? "Abortions To Rape And Incest Victims Should Be Criminally Charged." Yeah. Not kidding on that one folks. Oh but it gets better! Want to read something fun about him? HIS WIFE HAD ONE! So because of that, you'd think he would understand someone else's problem. If you thought the opposite then come collect your prize!
If you think he's that crazy about abortion, well take a look "at some of these gems concerning gays, Islam, race, and women." I know I should stop, but I'm so damn aggravated... I'm going into random thoughts mode:
~Next week I am going on vacation to Seaside Heights, NJ! Three houses way from the "Jersey Shore" house...And the Jersey Shore characters will be there that same week (sigh)
~Fish. Tacos. God's way of wanting you to eat healthy yet greasy at the same time
~I have been craving chicken nachos like a fat kid wants candy.
~Not going to lie...if I see a child trip and fall, I do laugh. I laugh quite a bit. And yes, I know it's wrong
~I may crack on Dunkin Donuts, but I am thankful every night for that job because:
1) I made some awesome friends
2) Got more work experience. And FINALLY...
3) I met an incredible woman who I'm madly in love with
~My low sodium diet is driving me effin crazy!
~Not as much as being restricted to 32oz a day
~Trade Joe's Frosted Shredded Wheats is like crack
~Annoying pop songs are a guilty pleasure of mine. I can dance to them like an idiot, but still look good doing it. Speaking of that,
I leave you tonight with a VERY RANDOM SONG. It's random because I hate this girl, but this song is really catchy. Presenting: KESHA

Rebellious, Reckless, It's All The Same If You Go With Your Heart
Good Evening Folks,
Ever want to do something that you'll like now, maybe regret later, or not even regret it at all? Ever want to do something that you're family might hate, other people will like, and will probably tick off "authority" because they "recommend" that you don't? It's a nice thought isn't it... In fact, why don't we act upon these thoughts? Why can't we make ourselves happy for the moment, and divulge at that one thought that could possibly make a difference. What's mine? It's tattoos of course!
For years I've wanted to get ink. I have my own personal reasons why (and what I would want) but apparently, it's an issue when you've had a healthy kidney from a transplant. Well, what if that kidney stopped working and you're on dialysis? What if your doctor's want you to wait for a transplant since you're body is an asshole. It's hard to decide right? That's my issue right now. Allow me to explain:
My body produces the kidney disease I have called FSGS. So apparently, no matter what, my body would somehow destroy the transplanted kidney. Their goal for me, is to wait a couple years, see if any progress has been made concerning my disease, and then go for a transplant. It's a double edge sword. I say no, but then it might be couple of years later (or longer) till I get another shot at a transplant. I say yes, it could end up lasting months, or years. It's always a matter of luck. That's what sucks about having FSGS. Anyway, back to the subject at hand: Why not get tattoos? It's not going anywhere near my fistula arm, I will look for a place that can accommodate me and the needs for ink, and I honestly will be careful. It's almost like at times, they want to scare me into thinking that tattoo parlors are scary places full of bikers, junkies, criminals, etc etc.
"What kind of ink would you get" you're probably all asking yourself? Well, I have a few ideas what I would want. A shamrock is definitely one because of my Irish heritage among other things. A Sega logo (maybe the dreamcast logo as well if I'm feeling up too it.) Possibly something that shows my love for Culinary Arts? Maybe comic book mementos like Captain America's shield or Green Lantern's power ring? Again, I have a few ideas, but I'll decide on something once I A) Have a job! And B) Can afford it.
Random Thoughts: I would love to make some shrimp tacos or even shrimp scampi
~ I find it almost impossible to get awesome Mexican food that's somehow low in salt. If anyone knows a place in NJ to get it, please hook me up.
~ Trader Joe's is probably my favorite supermarket. It's small, but has just about everything I could want/need
~ To go with my previous comment, Westfield is my favorite small town to visit. It's so sexy, and has quite a few awesome stores. Coolvines, William and Sonoma, and so many fine restaurants that it's impossible to choose
~ How is it I get along better with people older than me most of the time than those who are my age
~ Except for my girlfriend
And with that, it's music time! To close this entry out, I present to you: NEW COLDPLAY!

So Long Astoria! Eyes Like The Ocean, Yet She Won't Cry For Me
Good Evening Ladies and Gents!!
So I'm still alive (though these past few days, barely) and I'm willing to write a blog entry. I suck at attempting to remember these, so I now have a new way of doing it: Alarms! I'll set my alarm, and I will blog! Simple right? Question is, will I be able to remember to do it =P.
So dialysis has been rough recently. Don't know why though...Could it be me gaining weight finally? Maybe my body can't handle the 2.5 kilos that it has to take off (even though it could handle 3.0-3.5 kilos pretty well,) maybe I just over think stuff and I actually need to sleep more? So many thoughts it drives me fucking crazy.
I over think things. It's a horrible issue I have that aggravates the piss out of me. Why I over analyze things, over think things, even over react to the littlest things is beyond me. I always try to come up with a reason (competitive issues cause of family, wanting to be perfect because I found something I'm great at, etc etc.) One day I will figure out the answer to those questions.
Mentality is a very fickle thing. If one little thing goes wrong, it'll snowball into an avalanche of insanity that drives a person to the edge of absolute damage and destruction. And yet, if one small thing goes right, a person will keep that thought for so long, it'll end up like a cherished memory. Last week, I won free soda from Coke. That little moment made me very happy because hey, free Coke is awesome. I even got to a coupon to use for the girlfriend. That made me fucking ecstatic! I'll remember that cause I got to enjoy something with Jessie. Those are the moments that always keep me happy, even when the snowball is in effect.
I realize that my blogs jump everywhere, and I apologize for that. I admit, my head goes from one spot to another like a puppy meeting new people (bad way of describing it, but that's all I got.) But speaking of random/jumping everywhere,
I think I'm going to get a tattoo or two...or three. The amount is in the air. I am getting at least one. The question is, what to get? Here is a list of things I'm debating about:
~Green Lantern ring on my middle finger
~Captain America shield on my left forearm
~Sega logo on my left wrist (or Sonic, or Knuckles, or the Dreamcast logo)
~a Shamrock on my left shoulder (notice a theme here?)
Any other ideas are welcomed. Hell I've even thought about a tattoo of a bottle of hot sauce. Yeah, I'm willing to get food tattooed on me because if I'm going to be a chef, I have to show the dedication right?
So I'm starting to draw a blank now on what to write. I want to complain about my Chicago Cubs, but I can't. My head is use to them sucking (comes with being a Cubs fan.) Yet, I want to keep hoping that this year will be the year. Maybe once we get rid of Jim Hendry, we'll get on the right track. For now though, I leave you with the awesome sound of Foo Fighters' Everlong!
