Food vs. Me

For a lover of food I wonder why I'm not more interested in cooking.

Well, let me explain. I love food and when I say I love food I mean it. I could eat all day everyday and I'm really not too picky. I love fancy five star food and even the (not so) guilty pleasure fast food chains McDonalds and Taco Bell. I also love all genres of food, mexican, thai, chinese, japanese, cajun, bbq, american, italian, german, danish, southern comfort, EVERYTHING. (using the word genre has given me a new idea for a new blog entry) and I love meat (I actually wrote this about myself in a biography when I was in first grade... nothing has changed). Anyways, back to my point I would love to cook good food, but I've been let down by my cooking too many times to trust myself anymore.
The worst thing that could ever happen is slaving away for hours (or minutes) on a meal and thinking about it while you're making it and then when you are finally done cooking it turns out tasting bad or not how you expect it.

Just to give you an idea of the level I have stooped to I'm currently eating dinner which happens to be:
some frozen chipotle chicken skewers from trader joes which have been sitting in the freezer for probably 6 months, but they were surprisingly decent until I noticed some white stuff on them, I'm sure its just chicken goo but I can't eat it anymore
Irish black tea with sugar and soy milk
aaaaaand probably some yogurt or something cause I'm not full but I don't want to touch the chicken anymore

Here's another example of a dinner I have recently eaten:
a can of chicken noodle soup, 4 nights in a row!

I think I've hit the lowest low for food lovers, and I think I will strategically plan meals before I head to the grocery store next and I will make something great... AND IF I DON'T I guess I will be doomed to eat shitty food for all of eternity or become broke from going out to eat or find friends who want to cook for me.

By the way if anyone is actually reading this and would like to give me easy/yummy recipes please do so :)

I'm currently studying for my italian final which I have tomorrow while listening to Led Zeppelin. The end.

Concerts and Such

It's an exciting night in apartment D5. Paige, Giulia and I are sitting around being "productive". Listening to silly music and not doing homework. I should probably speak for myself though, Paige may be doing actual school work.

I am writing to share with the world the concerts I have found that are occurring in the Southern California area this summer:

There is the Summer Slaughter Tour featuring Decapitated, The Faceless, All Shall Perish, The Red Chord, Veil Of Maya, Cephalic Carnage, Decrepit Birth, Carnifex, Animals As Leaders, and Vital Remains in West Hollywood. (Please take a good read over the names of the bands. I think the tour title is VERY appropriate. I have not heard of any of these bands)

There is the Scream It Like You Mean It Tour featuring Silverstein with Emery, I Set My Friends On Fire, Dance Gavin Dance, and Ivoryline (I actually have heard of two of the bands, I assume they are all the scream-o emo-ish scene)

LIMP BIZKIT is playing with ICE CUBE. (who knew they still toured?!) They are playing in Irvine, Verizon Wireless Ampitheater.

Backstreet Boys are playing in Universal City (Is it bad that I kind of want to go?)

Taking Back Sunday (Middle School flashback anyone?!?!) is playing at the Wiltern in LA.

Also playing at the Wiltern THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS and SHE WANTS REVENGE will be playing. (I really want to go to this)

Billy Idol is playing in LA in August

And to finish off the summer we got Jonas Brothers + Demi Lovato in Irvine, ha ha ha... Funny thing is their show is the same night as MUSE's show in Anaheim. (I find this hilarious). Will you end your summer with the Jonas Brothers or MUSE?
