I do not understand milk and bread. It's like we stock up on them when we go to the store, only to throw it out when it goes bad or rush to drink it or eat it all so we don't waste it. That's really what life seems like to me. It seems we are always running around trying to prevent wasting a moment or throwing out old memories because they have gone bad to us.
I am waiting for them to create milk that doesn't go bad. Not just powdered milk either. I want a giant gallon of vitamin D whole milk that can last forever because sometimes I want to sit back and drink my milk with leisure. I want to eat my hamburger helper when I want to and not have to worry about the confines of time that the milk used in the mix will leave me with.
Deli meat always last longer than bread. I never caught this growing up but now that I pay for my own groceries, I have come to realize that they give you about 3 seconds before the bread goes bad. Is the average life span of bread only one week?
Sometimes we have to substitute things in life and we find out that we may even like the substitution better. Last night I was trying to make a sandwich and I realized that my bread was too old. It's "sell by" date was last week and I just didn't want to risk it. So, what did I do? I improvised. I subbed the bread for a tortilla. I had a roast beef tortilla with Muenster cheese and it turned out to be great. I just heated everything up until the cheese slightly melted and it was good. We get put in situations where we don't have bread sometimes. We have to deal with what we got. Sometimes, that's what being an adult is all about.
So, we toss out old memories that have gone bad, we rush to make sure that not even one single moment is wasted, and we substitute one thing for another to make it by without complaining. Forrest Gump said, "life is like a box of chocolates," but I think life is more than just a box of chocolates. Life is like an entire grocery list.
Peace,

Margerine is made of the same components that make plastic. Yuck!!! That's why it lasts so long. Party, I might have to give cupid an ass ramming. I was thinking about MLK Jr but even I am not that tasteless. haha

NO, NO, NO, RB. Toss that out!
Unless it's margarine and not butter. If it's butter, it's bad by now. If it's margarine...well, that shit is good for life.

JMG-Man, I have been brainstorming like crazy but feeling rather dry. i have decided to start the entire script over because the first one started feeling stale. I am going to start studying other screenplays and what not, to get a feel for the format. It's been too long since I was in a play and I just gotta get that feel back.
PMJ- Don't worry brother, I still have plenty of randomness in me. haha
Phinch- I figured you would have 40 different kinds of rice.......haha, sorry, that just needed to be said brother.
Audrey-Hey sweetheart, how are you doing? Still smiling I presume?

I've got a pack of tortillas that started as a 12 pack and multiplied. There are at least 40 known tortillas living in my fridge.

Life is like a grocery list. You always end up with pointless crap, and remember that you forgot what you came for after you've already checked out.
Okay, that was my attemp at deep...ness..... ah well. Good post anyway

Do you think that vampire punk rockers allow their bread to expire? Discuss.
