Burrito life

Sometimes life is sort of like a burrito. There’s so many things wrapped up in the business of every day-ness. Sometimes it’s spicy, sometimes it’s cold, sometimes it gets messy, and sometimes it’s inedible.  But I think it’s a very good analogy for this crazy life we lead. Plus there’s a tasty tortilla.

There have been times in my life when I’ve been as near blind drunk a person can be without actually going blind and the only saving grace I’ve had is a delicious freshly made burrito. Could God have invented a more perfect food combination? I don’t really think so. I think God saw what was created and thought, “Mmm, this is good”, and then wiped burrito juice off his long white beard.

If you haven’t put it together by now, I need a burrito in a very serious way. I am just counting the minutes off the clock until burrito time.  Right now it’s only burrito forty, so I have to wait until burrito:burrito. I wish my alarm clock did that. Just blinked in glowing red letters, burrito….burrito….burrito….. I bet I’d get up on time for that.

It really is one of the world’s most perfect food combinations. Bless the Mexicans for this culinary delight. Today also marks Mexican Independence Day. So perhaps that might be a partial reason for my burrito lust.

I’ve never seen any of the Twilight movies or read any of the books, but I bet you the blood hunger those teenage vampires have is akin to my burrito lust right now. Although I might push the pretty teenage girl down on my way to the burrito vendor and I wouldn’t have the perfect hair and glowing eyes looking mournfully back at her as she’s devoured by wereburritos.

Okay, I’m going to get my burrito before I just start writing burrito over and over again a la The Shining.

“All work and no burrito makes Jack a dull burrito”
“All work and no burrito makes Jack a dull burrito”
“All work and no burrito makes Jack a dull burrito”
“All work and no burrito makes Jack a dull burrito”
“All work and no burrito makes Jack a dull burrito”
“All work and no burrito makes Jack a dull burrito”
“All work and no burrito makes Jack a dull burrito”
“All work and no burrito makes Jack a dull burrito”
