Essence Song

I have this odd urge to write a song. I just want to write at least one song to make my mark onto the world. There's something slightly eternal about creating a piece of music. It kind of tells you who you are as a person. The lyrics come straight from the heart, and tempered in your mind. The beat that you put together for the song comes from the soul. Its what you feel inside during your normal day. I think that everyone should write a song just to create that incredible piece that captures who you are. Well that's all for the moment. Hopefully I get this song put together by the next time I post.

Reborn

I've decided to go back to chronicling the random thoughts that come to me. My mind is getting worn down and its nice to put the ideas out so I no longer have to think about them. On that note today was quite an odd moment for me. Now I used to have suicidal thoughts which were mostly comprised of various ways to kill myself because I had naturally assumed that nobody cared. Still unnerving but not scary. The truly terrifying experience is thinking of all the ways that you're so much different than everyone else, realizing that you don't fit in due to how you think or act, and seeing firsthand how little attention you are getting, even from your friends or the girl you love. When you can conclude from all of those things, that almost by fact, you don't matter its a true test of character. I had that happen to me today. Scared the crap out of me when I realized what I'd just done. I'm just glad that I'm able to convince myself of anything that I desire. Frankly I don't want to be worthless. Convincing myself that I'm not, just because I don't want to be. It really was that simple. Surprising to be perfectly honest. At any rate thats my awkward story for the day, or week, or however long until my mind needs to be liberated again.

Tater Tot Pizza Casserole

alright guys here's the skinny on my latest creation, and you will need a deep fry pan and a 9x13 pan:

2 lb bag of Tater Tots
1/2 lb of uncooked ground sausage
3.5 oz bag of sliced pepperoni, quartered
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 gold bell pepper, diced
1 bundle of green onions, diced
1 26 oz can of huntz mushroom spaghetti sauce
2 8 oz cans of tomato sauce
1 lb of mozzarella cheese
1 tbs of oregano
1 tbs of basil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of pepper

Now if the list of ingredients hasn't worn you out then it's time for the easy part of this recipe, which is cooking it! yay! Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Turn your stove on to medium high heat. Do not oil your pan! Adding oil will make this thing slather with fat. Once your pan has heated up put your sausage and your pepperoni into the pan. The beauty of this is that the two meats create just enough oil to make sure that the rest of what you're cooking doesn't stick, while also adding flavor to the dish. After about 2 minutes add the peppers, the onions and all of the spices: oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Let this cook for another 2 minutes and make sure that you are stirring constantly. Add the sauces to the mixture on the stove. Bring it to a boil. Stir about half the cheese into this mixture until its all melted in. Put the tater tots in the 9x13 pan. Pour the mixture over the top of the tots. protip use a measuring cup to scoop the sauce out rather than trying to pour from the fry pan. Takes a bit longer but you don't spill the boiling liquid all over yourself. Once you have it all in the pan mix it around a little bit so that the tots are completely covered with delicious sauce. Put it in the oven for 35 minutes, and in the last 15 minutes put the last of the cheese over the top. Enjoy! This dish so far has an average rating of 9.5/10. It's way good and at the most will cost $15 dollars.

Reality's Scope On Wolrd Hunger

I have a firm belief that there is no realistic way for us to stop world hunger. It's sad and I don't like to be the one to break the bad news to you guys.
I mean the countries that are suffering from hunger the most are the ones that don't even have the water to sustain themselves, which means that they have no way of being able to support livestock or crops. We can't just ask them to move either. They aren't going to move. They have accepted the fact that they are living on borrowed time. If any of us was in that situation we would move but these families don't have the resources to do that and they lack the drive to do so. Their families have been living there for generations and in those cultures it would be disrespectful to leave your ancestors behind.
For me the only thing that's keeping me from being very depressed about the whole topic is the fact that we are making huge strides in being able to use water from the ocean and being able to harness the wind and the sun to produce power. I'm convinced that there will be a time in the future that we can figure out a way to bring third world countries out of starvation, but its going to take time, time that these people don't have and yet time that they are willing to give. These people know that they are going to go hungry and one day die from it. I just hope that I'm alive to witness the day when we can change all of that.

Spaghetti Sauce of the Ages, well one age...

It's time that I live up to my title as Le Ossum Chef, so here's a recipe that's pretty simple, quick and delicious. Don't worry I've made it a handful of times and I have always received some really good reviews. Here we go:

12-16oz polish or italian sausage (sliced)
3 14.5oz cans of diced tomatoes
3 green onions (chopped)
1 tsp Garlic (minced)
1.5 tsp basil
1/2 tsp marjoram
1/2 tsp oregano
salt and pepper to taste
Grill the sliced sausage in a deep skillet on medium high heat. Cook for about 2 minutes and then flip the slices. when you flip the slices add the green onions and minced garlic. After about a minute start stirring it around until you can see that both sides of the sausage slices are well browned. Add the canned tomatoes and the rest of the seasonings, and reduce the heat to medium. Stir constantly so the sauce doesn't burn at the bottom of the pan. When bubbles start to show up then turn off the heat and taste the sauce. Add salt and pepper at your discretion. Enjoy. If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask no matter how silly you think they are. Until next time.... cook this recipe?

gooberfish

I'm watching this amazing show called 1000 ways to die. Some people are retarded, but a handful of these are really creepy. Like a guy that got some pufferfish poison in him. That only paralyzed him though and he was buried alive. The whole time he was conscious! He could move or anything so he got to watch as his family buried him 8 feet under. Apparently a day or so later he regained some of his motor functions and he tried to claw his way out to the point that he scratched his fingers down to the bone. How did they find this out? Graverobbers dug him up a week after the funeral and found him all stiff and creepy looking with no fingernails and the tips were all bone, and he had a crazy look on his face. Talk about the mother of all nightmares. I've had my fair share of dreams where I was buried alive or something crazy, but I woke up to it being fake. Plus in my dreams I wasn't conscious! Somehow this show is mesmerizing but I think I'm going to be paraniod for a really long time.
