Food/Introduction

Okay, well I guess while introducing myself to the world, I would talk about an actual subject, just so there's more than something saying, "Hi..."

Just a few things

-I'm a sophomore in high school
-I rep da east coast yooo
-I suck at being gangsta
-I like to write, draw, and play music
-I may write about a lot of things here

Okay, so the first thing I want to talk about here is...FOOD. Why? Mainly because I'm hungry right now, but it's something everyone could relate to...in some way.

Food is an essence of life. We eat it for energy, health, and just because it tastes good and fills our tummies. But sometimes the simple matter of eating can seem really complicated...or even annoying at times.

What do I mean?

Have you ever gone out to dinner with a few friends? Or maybe you've gone over someone else's house to have a meal. Do you ever not know what you're eating...or don't know what to eat? This is the complicated part. Something could look really good...or really disgusting. Or you thought you ordered something really good...and you don't even know what you're about to stuff in your mouth. This is probably worse for people like me, who have food allergies and don't want to risk dying in public or something.

If that doesn't apply to you, try this scenario. You're in your room doing homework, or so you say while you're really on facebook. All of a sudden you feel your stomach rumble. Craving a satisfying snack you head down to your kitchen which is chock full of yummy treats, right?

No, wrong.

You open cabinet doors to find dishes and bowls and such. Doubting those are edible you turn to the never-disappointing fridge.

Yeah, okay.

You open the door and search for anything good to eat. Let's see...you're running low on milk again. There's the leftover's from that "casserole" of last nite. Some veggies that probably need to be cooked. Eggs...not the best time for scrambled, thank you though. Butter...not sure if that's safe to eat by itself. Orange juice...nah, you're looking for that solid stuff. There are also some other leftoevers, but at this point they're unidentifyable.

I think I just created a word....

Oh and this isn't the last time you'll be down. Somehow you think some more food has magically appeared in the last ten minutes you were down stairs, or maybe you overlooked something. Either way you come back to the same disappointment.

Now there are other situations involving food. You burned your family dinner. You've been eating Ramen Noodles for the past ten days. You had some really good Indian food that made you sick. You hate your school food. You wonder why the girl you took to dinner last night ate like she was on an anerexic diet. Maybe you're on an unsuccessful diet. You can't go anywhere without weightwatchers creeping into your mind. Maybe you get way to drunk at parties. Liquids count as food.

No matter how this applies to you, know that eating is mainly an enjoyable experience. Many cultures center social settings around food and drink. So...enjoy! Grab a plate of your favorite dish and dig in. =)

Hmm...that last part may have been a bit corny. At least I'm out there now. I hope you enjoy reading this and maybe you can relate to me. I think I'm gonna go downstairs myself and get me a bite of something.
