Discoveries:

Today I discovered that love + effective communication = longevity. It’s so easy for us to approach life with a minimalist attitude and wait for a catalyst other than good intention or yourself to save us like superheroes; QUESTION: If life is what you make it what are you creating? NEWSFLASH: Today’s era is bereft of true crusaders. So instead of waiting for someone else to bring you solace sisters uncover it yourself by approaching problems in attack mode. Get them before they get you. Conquer them. Complications are nothing but opportunities straighten out the tangled wire. However, if you don’t possess the patience, prudence and desire to get through the mess you’ll always see the straight wire as a tangled ball. Much respect to people who work through issues.

High Points:

We have been cooking up a storm in the Williams house. Thanks to my wife I now have yet another show that I am addicted to, it’s called CHOPPED. It features a panel of chefs who are all competing against each other in elimination style food battles for prize money. How is this different from any other show you ask? Well for starters, the prize money is something realistic ($10,000). Ten G’s won’t pay off the mortgage but it is large enough to get the ball rolling on your dream and small enough to make you want to keep working hard to achieve it. Many of the cooks used to work as chefs in popular restaurants or they owned their own kitchen or small eatery. The other interesting thing about the show CHOPPED is that the cooks must concoct a creative, edible and interesting dish using a bag of ingredients that remain secret until the reveal which generally happens just minutes from when they need to actually start cooking. The ingredients are regularly as varied as kaleidoscopes. One of the more memorable episodes paired watermelon and sardines with pepper jack cheese and zucchini. Foodies will absolutely love watching these culinary masters create meals from the weird and oftentimes contrary ingredients. I suggest you check for CHOPPED on The Food Network.

Low Points:

I was at the store last week and looked down upon an infant because their poo smelled like death. Let these parents know that their infants are babies and not garbage disposals. Junk in, junk out but I shouldn’t blame the baby. I need to blame the parents who fed their babies’ leftover macaroni and cheese or y old a tuna casserole instead of a proper baby food diet. I’m no goodie-two-shoes.  It’s cool to sneak the little jokers a sip of orange juice or a teaspoon of sherbet every once in a while but letting your baby drink the leftover brown gravy from your mashed potatoes or eat the last slice of German chocolate cake is a problem. No wonder why the checkout lane was lit up like skunk sweat. The air smelled like raw chicken wing blood. Geez Louise!!! I would have N E V E R thought a little baby that cute could make me gag with their number two diaper gravy.

DAILY INSANITY:
Four Words: My Baby Can Read!

Okay, the truth is that he can only read ten or fifteen words but we did get a set of those Your Baby Can Read DVD’s from his grandfather and they are the real deal! I am so proud of my 4-year old. Thanks gramps for getting him a gift that no one can take away.
