I meant to write this earlier today, but got busy and forgot until now.

This morning, I was having breakfast at a local chain restaurant, and well, the breakfast was rather large,  even more than I usually eat, and Ican eat a lot.

These days, there seems to be some competition between restaurants in giving you a lot of food for the money.  Everyone tries to outdo each other in giving more food than the other.  They say that in today’s economy, they want to give you your money’s worth.  The problem is, they give you so much food, a lot goes to waste.  “So take it home and finish it later” you say.  Yeah, right.  We all know how well that works out.  You take it home in that styrofoam container, and then it sits in your fridge until it grows blue fur and you throw it out.  With as many people in the world that are starving from no food, it’s a crime really to let that happen.

Restaurants, here’s a tip:  Charge less, and just cut the portion size!  Or offer a half size option for each meal at a reduced cost.  This way, people are still getting their money’s worth, and not paying as much, and not wasting food.  Most of us don’t want to feel pressured to finish a huge meal when we go somewhere, or end up leaving so stuffed and bloated.

Another rant of mine, is when you get a breakfast, and things are “topped” with something.  Like today, my breakfast was corned beef hash.   Normally, you get the hash in a little pile, next to the other things.  Not today.  it was country potatoes, covered with a layer of hash, covered with a layer of scrambled eggs, covered with a layer of biscuits and gravy.  Now, I like all of those things, but I don’t want them all put in layers on top of each other.  I like to eat a little of each at a time, where I can choose what to eat when, not have to either eat it all at once or feel like I’m excavating for the food at the bottom.

I know, someone out there is saying “so what, it all ends up in the same place anyway”. Yeah, it does, but that doesn’t mean I want to mix everything.  With that logic, why don’t you go ahead and top your steak with a scoop of ice cream?  Doesn’t sound quite so appetizing, does it?    Look, I’m not saying that topping is all wrong, but what is it with this trend? I just think it’s getting a bit out of hand.

Ok, rant over.  Time to play some WoW.

You may have noticed (or not) that I removed the post about my wedding in SL.  As it turns out, the woman I thought loved me, lied to me in too many ways.  She led me to believe she wanted a relationship in RL. She said that I took things she said the wrong way, and that making it out to be all my fault.  But you know, if that was the case, she’s at fault for not giving me a direct straight answer and saying no.  She led me to believe these things, even let me spend the money on a collar for her in RL.  If she didn’t want it, she never said no, absolutely not.  She let me think she did.  She’s as much to blame for not saying so.

There’s more, but I’m too angry to write.

Time to get pissed drunk on Guinness, eat corned beef, and irish stew!

To whom it may concern:

RE:  Burritios

Dear sir or madam,

Lately, I have been getting frustrated with the way you people tend to make burritios.  First of all.  I realize that it’s cheaper to use thinner tortillas, but come on,  you can’t get through an entire burrito without the fucking thing busting through at the end in your hand, and getting all over your lap.  Can you PLEASE start using some sturdier tortillas?  I’d like to actually get through an entire meal without having to use a god damnned fork to eat the filling, as it’s all over the wrapper.

And this brings me to my other pet peeve.  Is it too much to ask for you to teach your minimum wage teenagers to learn how to fill a freaking burrito evenly?  I’m getting tired of starting at one end, with meat and/or beans, and then getting about 2/3 of the way to the end, to find the rest is nothing but sour cream, cheese, and lettuce.  Haven’t you heard of equal distribution?  Come on now, I like sour cream, but not as the primary filling!!!  I want it across the entire length of the burritio, not as some creamy surprise at the end.  This ain’t a dick I’m sucking here, it’s a burrito.  (and no I’m not gay, I just liked the ANALogy).

Last point…can you also teach them how to wrap a burrito to not freaking fall apart before I take the first bite?  Nothing is more annoying than unwrapping the sonofabitch at delbelltacodenwhatever, and having the entire thing fall apart faster than a watts government housing project.

Am I bitter? Am I going to stop eating fast food mexican?  Nope. I like the stuff. Just please, fix the shit, ok?

Sincerely yours,

A disgruntled burrito eater.

Well it finally happened, after a year and a half, my xbox 360 got the fated red ring of death.  fortunately it’s under the special 3 year warranty for RROD, so I’m getting it fixed.  Gah, still sucks though.

Well, ok, so I’ve set up yet another blog.  This time I hope I’ll be keeping up with things.  I don’t know if any of you will actually read it, but I’ll post anyway, just because I’m vain enough and to think someone might really read this tripe.
