Ode to a Dorito Stain~

Dorito stain, Dorito stain,
Why are you here in my little plaid book?
It had such a clean look.
(Well until that last poem anyway)
And I had a good day so what they hay!?!
**************************
A row of stars to keep you company.
Bob likes Malibu Rum but I don't want any.
Dorito stain, Dorito stain,
So orange and greasy.
You think writing is so easy?
Dorito stain, Dorito stain!
You are cool!
An indellible mark,
But I'm no fool.
Immortalized on this night so dark.
You'll stay in my little plaid book,
There for anyone who wants to look.


Yeah, so I think I wrote this one in mid 1998. And this is why you don't drink and rhyme. Seriously. Anyway, the story is that I was freehanding in my book that I'd been copying my poetry into neatly, and made a mistake, had to scribble it out. So the inspiration hit, I rubbed my thumb in the Dorito crumbs I was munching on and planted a big greasy orange spot right in the middle of the page. This is one of my favorites. Tune in another time for some more oddity.

A new player has joined the group!




First off welcome Samuel! Born on April 30, weighing in at 8lbs 2.8 oz. The latest of
the Tater-tots has arrived and is so much fun to have around. He smiles alot in his sleep. (Or has gas- whichever you want to think.) Me and Christina are getting very little sleep-which comes with the territory!! =D

If you haven't noticed there's been a few cosmetic changes to the blog, not much just rearranging some details. I'd post more if I could keep from forgetting my login & password too. XD I like the looks of the new password and login system. Now I can just use an email address WOO! There's a couple of other 'sites' that I've played with. Myspace is still the same. Send me a note if you have one and need some more friends in your list. I've just started randomly adding peoples. I have a 'Live Space' too, Right now I don't have a picture link to it but that should be added in a few days. It's still no wheres near completion but like with MySpace, send me a note and I'll add you on there too!

Now on to the juciest info! The proverbial poop has definitley been hitting the fan around here though. Lightning strikes, Babies, Job losses, and starting school. We took a fairly direct lightning strike back in February frying the majority of our electronics along with a bunch of our appliances. The landlord was awesome and replaced all the appliances (including our microwave), we've replaced some of the electronics but not everything yet. Next up I got fired. D'oh! Ah well. Obviously I was tired of doing the job because I was messing around more than working. Shoulda quit before the got to me huh? HA! oh well. It has inspired me to get my sorry ass into an online college to try to get an Associates Degree, along with some medical coding training. I may take a slight detour into Massage Therapy instead to get into some more money quicker. Speaking of- the money situation-while tight is fine. No need for donations. Unless you want to ;) XD

Lastly- WII FOR THE CONSOLE WAR WIN. Sony will fall.
