Brussel Sprouts: Why all the hate???

So I was having dinner the other day, enjoying some brussel sprouts that I had previously steamed, when my mind began to wonder...
Why are brussel sprouts such a hated veggie???

I hate you!!!

Why?  I mean they don't really taste bad, and as far as vegetables go, I think they're pretty cute. So my question stands. Why all the hate? Adults and children alike will go to great lengths to avoid them and even the dog, Sparky, refuses to eat them under the table. Is it because of the roundness? that doesn't make any sense, people usually love round food. Color? Now, this could explain something for the 2nd most hated vegetable, broccoli. But I don't see why that should be a problem, I think green is a very friendly color. So that only leaves one thing: taste. I personally don't see a problem here, they taste like butter and salt... Or maybe that's just when my family makes them.... But still, even under the pound of butter, I find them a very charming little vegetable. 
So leave me a comment telling me if you like brussel sprouts, if not why, and other love/ hate relationships you have with vegetables...

'Peaches' By the presidents of the united states

Yup.

I couldn't get this song out of my head today, and the video has everything that you could ever ask for... A bald guy dressed like a banana, ninjas, and most importantly... PEACHES!



Soooo how was that omelette this morning?

"jimmy, answer me!!!
Please!"

I'm Contused!!!

So let me start by welcoming myself back, I took a bit of a break from blogger for a few weeks, I have a really good excuse though! Hold on.... it's coming, just give me a minute.... Uh..... Ok so I don't have a good excuse, time just got away from me. So enough of this lets get on to the really witty and interesting story I want tell you. (Witty and interesting are in the eyes of the beholder right?)
So lets start off with a few fun facts
FACT:Lifting a large T.V. when you are at home alone and no one is there to help you falls under the "Bad idea" category.
Fact: Dropping a T.V. on top of your foot is EXTREMELY painful.
MEDICAL FACT:A bone contusion is an injury that involves injury to the surface of the bone and subsequent damage to the underlying bone sub-structure. 
Yep, I got a contusion yesterday. "So what were you doing lifting a large television by yourself?" I can hear you asking your computer screen. Well, the idea didn't seem this stupid at the time. Actually, it seemed like a pretty good idea. The reason I wanted to move the T.V. is because I had two in my room and the big chunky one was just taking up space. There was plenty of room on one of the shelves in my bathroom closet so I thought "Why not?" and began the process of carrying it in there. At first it didn't seem like it was going to be that hard, but by the time that I was half way to the bathroom I realized that I was mistaken. See, the T.V. isn't only heavy, it's an awkward shape which makes it hard to hold on to. So I began to do some kind of awkward run in order to try and make it into the bathroom. I did indeed make it into the bathroom, but just barely before dropping the T.V. on top of my foot. It was the kind of pain, dear reader, that for about 5 seconds I felt nothing; then this blinding throb sets in. I had to lift the T.V. back up to get my foot out, which somehow made it hurt worse. So to make a short story long, I went to the hospital to have it checked out ( may I add that I fought tooth and nail, I simply detest hospitals). they took the x-ray and determined that my bone was not completely broken, but contused. So they gave me some very strong pain medication (That's a whole other story), rapped my foot, stuck it in some kind of horrible looking boot/cast thingy, and sent me on my way.
And that's the story of how I gave my own foot a contusion.
