Baconender

I am sad to say that my two week Bacon streak has come to an end. On Monday I had a Crepe which had bacon inside of it. It was very scrumptous. But yesterday Z and I went out to lunch to this really good Greek resturant, Thassos, on wornall road in KC. I had one of those Gyros and forgot to ask for Bacon. Later on I had Subway with no bacon on my sandwich…so I am sad to say the Bacon streak has come to an end.

Give me a couple of weeks and I’m sure I will think of some other food to try to eat everyday. Maybe I’ll try squash everyday or chicken fingers with Honey Mustard.

 

Remodeling the Kitchen

Since Friday Zack and Carrie have been remodeling the kitchen. I have been helping out here and there. Yesterday I came to the revelation, noted by Zack’s observation, that I paint cabinets like I used to finger paint in grade school. Smooth strokes in one direction is the key to excellent painting. The only other painting experience I have ever had was the summer of 1997 when I painted a white fence with my sister. I probably got more paint on myself then I did on the fence.

After a long day….we made a video.

 

 

Insomniatic

After I wrote my last post it dawned on me that insomniatic, first off, is not a word, and it means to not sleep. I meant to describe the exhaustion feeling but I guess that’s what you get when you are so tired everything around you feels foggy and blurry like you are driving in a snow storm.

Word.

 

O, The Bliss of Being Alive

Well Ruckus fans, I do my best to live my life to the fullest. My new header captures just one of the many moments of joy that I have experienced in my friendship with Zack. This pic was taken during the ZJ’s place days back in 2006. The feeling of Joy was from a gift that someone gave us. It wasn’t so much the gift it was more about being excited just because we love to be exicted and we love free stuff. I am very exhausted to the point of curling up in a ball like a insomniatic cat; o wait, I already did that once today.

I am alive and well. I am here to stay and no longer will I fall astray from His arms. I will be safe from harm through storms and the norms of this life. Pain and suffering will come against us all, as we groan to be clothed in light. I’m enjoying the day and missing those prayerful nights but wherever I go and whatever I do, I know that He is faithful, and I know He is true. I am grateful to be alive on the inside. I am grateful for the people that God has placed in my life.

Love and Peace to all.

 

More Bacon and Some Other Stuff

Nine days encounting and I have consummed bacon twice a day for the last few days.  On Friday I had some bacon at work then I slammed down a BK double stacker which is two fatty patties, stacker sauce and two strips of a pig’s back. An hour later I was still hungry and was in the mood to celebrate paying some bills on time and no better way to rejoice then to eat the Baconator from Wendy’s. Two even fattier patties then the previous sandwich.

You would think that this would have slown me down for my hockey game but instead of causing me to vommit I scored three goals in our game and we won our fourth in a row. I wish everyone could have seen me for that one. I also wore a puma head band underneath my helmet which inspired me to skate faster and agilitize around everyone.

Yes, I did what Kyle suggested and I had the Bacon Chalupa yesterday. To begin my day today I had a BK Bacon Breakfast Wrapper which only cost $1.39.

I plan on continuing this bacon streak as long as I don’t get sick from it then I am all about the Bacon Ruckus.

 

 

 

 

Bacon Everyday

My goal this week has been to eat bacon everyday.

On Sunday I ate the Club sandwich with Bacon. Before my lunch break came around this precious little girl gave me a piece of her bacon. I guess three pieces was a little to much for her to handle.

On Monday I had some bacon for breakfast and also pounded down some bacon pieces on my salad at Cinzettis.

On Tuesday I had a chicken sandwich with crispy bacon on it.

Yesterday, while Z and I were getting yard work supplies we stopped at A & W. I ordered the Original Bacon Cheeseburger….ummmm……delicious!

My next stop: The Baconator from Wendy’s.

 

Forgiveness Part One

I would like to begin today with a simple thought on forgiveness. My thought is: forgiveness begins with trust. In order for us to forgive others we have to entrust our hearts to God and lay down our rights. Our rights consisting of our pride and offenses that we can hold onto.

Another way of saying ‘Let Go and Let God’ would be ‘Entrust God with your offended heart.’ Take the first step towards a free heart and lean into God will all of your might.

 

Random Ruckus

So, yeah, here’s my life……

I began my day today with a trip to court. I wish it would have been The People’s Court or Judge Judy only because I love the camera, but no it was for a ticket. My talk with the judge only lasted about 30 seconds. I was planning on making an appeal but it all happened so fast…o well, I guess I could just get another ticket and make my case then.

I have been working at First Watch like a crazy man. I love it! The coffee is great, its cheap great food which makes me wonder why me and Z ever did so faithfully go to the house of panecakes everyday.

Yes, I do plan on making a music video that will incorporate some Michael W. Smith dance moves…Yes, I love Michael and Yes I am going to steal his moves…especially when he splits the air with his hands.

We won our hockey game on Friday night 7-1. Zack and Carrie and Alisha all came to watch me play. They were the best fans ever. Bengi scored 4 goals and our friend scored two. He would have had three but I tried to steal the puck away from him once.

My coach told me to stop playing so aggressive….yeah….ummmmm….we will see how long that will work. I am getting better each week and having the time of my life playing.

Being a server has taught me many things about people. One thing I have learned is that you have a very short amount of time to build a relationship with the people who you serve. I try to make people smile to the best of my ability. It doesn’t always work but I do my best to make it happen.

The other day I made this joke because two people ordered the same thing, the club sandwich. I brought their food out and said, “You two should start a club.” Yeah…….ummmmmmmmmm…..they didn’t say anything.

My buddy Tim is here to fix my broken down car. First, I hit a tree back in January, then I got a flat two weeks ago and now my clutch is stuck, so hopefully he can fix it.

Enjoy the Ruckus of life for whatever it brings.

 

 

Hat Trick at Drop In Night

It has been two weeks since I last hit the ice. I went and skated a few hours ago and played what is called ‘Drop In Hockey.’ This means that anyone who can play and has the proper equipment can play. This also means that there are no fans cheering you on because no one really cares about drop in.

No Fans= No one watching me score any goals.

A hat trick is three goals in one game and I almost had a fourth one. Honestly, I wasn’t playing to my full potential but I still managed to knock the puck in a few times.

Lets just hope I can do the same for the game tomorrow night.

 

New Header: Necesito Tosino

It is a new day today and I feel like eating bacon. Bacon is not a necessity of life. You can survive days, months, and even years without it but for some people, in the freakin USA, we love our bacon; I think a little to much. I am not pointing any fingers because I to am one who always orders a side of bacon whenever I eat breakfast, which happens to be my favorite meal of the day.

Bacon plus more bacon= an increased hunger for bacon which leads to….an addiction to bacon. I think I am going to start a support group for bacon addicts.

Yep, I really wonder who still reads this blog…if you are out there....please tell me if you like, love or despise bacon.
