The Picky Eater

I'm a picky eater.  That becomes apparent quickly if you are ever around me at a restaurant or are trying to order something.  I've always been that way.  My parents had tried to get me to eat more, but I think at some point they just gave up.  The advantages of being an only child.

As I've gotten older, I've become less picky, but compared to most people I still am.  I even get teased about it.  The one thing that I've always been weird about though is that I love liver.  Always have since I was a little kid.  Don't know why, just have.

On the opposite spectrum of that though is I hate mayo.  Pretty much everyone I know likes it, but not me.  I understand that it's in a lot of things that I eat, but I'll plead ignorance on what it's in.

The one thing that I've learned though as I've gotten older is that I like Asian food the most.  And I'm not just talking about the basic Chinese food that you can get.  I enjoy Japanese food the most although I have to make sure it doesn't have mushrooms or mayo.  The Japanese love their mayo, so we disagree with that.

If you consider Indian food as an Asian food, which it is in Asia, I am also a fan of that too.  Tonight I had Vietnamese food for the first time (Bun for those curious) and that again was delicious.

My parents tried their best to get me to eat vegetables as I was growing up.  Turns out they just need to learn how to cook Asian foods.  It confuses them to this day that is all it took.  Just that simple.

The Early Years

When I was born my parents lived in a mobile home in Hilbert, WI.  They had a cat before I was born and it didn't take to kindly to having me around all of a sudden.  They had to get rid of it as it had a tendency of trying to sleep on my face, which a baby tries enough to kill itself when it's young but having a cat, unintentionally I'm sure, trying to help with it wasn't good.  After awhile they decided they needed a bigger house and rented one in Bay Ridge which is in Appleton, WI.  They didn't actually sell the mobile home, but rented it instead so they were able to make some money from that as well as their jobs. My earliest memory was when I was three and I was playing with some Matchbox cars on the floor in the morning and my mom in a rush to get to work accidentally stepped on one of my favorite cars, crushing it.  An odd memory to be your first, but none the less that's what it is.  My best friend while living there was a girl name Ashley.  ...

Opening My Mouth

When I was younger and getting bullied, one of the things I was encouraged to do was talk to the guidance counselor.  Normally this is a good thing to do.  If you're in trouble you should talk to someone that can help. Now, I won't say it's the counselor's fault, but talking to her did not help at all.  In fact all it really did was cause everything to get worse.  At some point I just stopped talking.  I made some changes, got some payback, and the one time it started happening during my Freshman year, I didn't last too long before taking matters into my own hands (well fist). The one thing that I (unfortunately) learned from that was that saying how I feel is a bad thing.  I know I've most likely talked about this before, but it is really important.  It's something that has never really disproven itself over my life. I take the 2 instances I've told someone that I like them.  Yes, there are only two instances that this has happened.  Both...

Thanos Was Right

Spoilers for Avengers Infinity War Below First off, a movie is a movie.  It's fake, and even when it's based on true events it is still fake.  But sometimes you see something about a movie and it makes you think about the modern world and human nature and it kind of makes you think.  Avengers Infinity War would not really be one of those movies but then I saw this article and I actually had to disagree with it. The article argues that Thanos' solution of eliminating half of the universe's population was a plot hole.  If he had ultimate power, why wouldn't he just double all of the resources?  The simple answer is that the movie needed a villian and Thanos was already established, and though he did it because some lady didn't want him (that lady being Death) in the comics, they still gave him a good "evil" reason to do it in the movie.  He witnessed his planet destroy itself as it exhausted its resources even after he warned them that it was going ...
