My Poetry/Prose Whatever You Call It
What do you think about some of the writing I am doing lately. Some of it I wrote in the past on my old blogs and there are a few new pieces. Your feedback is welcome. I think it’s coming along. Thanks for reading.
Rivalries
Yankees vs. Mets
Tom vs. Jerry
Road Runner vs. Coyote
Microsoft vs. Apple
Rivalries are a part of life
Competition and contests
Nation vs. Nation
Tribe vs. Tribe
War vs. Peace
Mocs vs. Bucs
City vs. City
Contestants
Sometimes they are destructive
Ideas
People vs. People
Individuals vs. themselves
Rivalries are a part of life
Nerds/Geeks Can Enjoy Sports Too
It’s true, I enjoy athletic competition. Sports have lots of nerd friendly stuff like math and science. It’s also a cultural event too. Many of my fellow nerds just can’t get into it and call anything athletic “sportsball” because to them it’s just a foreign thing. Granted I am not a hardcore sports fan, I don’t watch ESPN (a sports channel in America) all the time nor do I read the sports page of the local paper all the time. For me sports is about supporting community teams and I try to relate to others this way. I am not big on golf though although I do have a friend who is big into it. Sports can be a way to release aggression and it can promote physical fitness too. Fantasy sports can blend technology and sports through fantasy football and the like. So fellow sports fans, cheer for the home team wherever you are.
Losses Early In This New Year
In a week where we have lost David Bowie, Alan Rickman and Dan Haggerty another person lost her husband and brother. Celine Dion has had a very tragic few days having suffered two major losses. Recently we lost Natalie Cole as well. At any rate there’s been too much loss for such a young year. 2016 isn’t going very well for many. Be grateful for what you have for as long as you have it.
Nachos, Yes Please
Tonight I made nachos and they are really easy to make.
- Tortilla Chips
- Precooked chicken strips from the frozen foods section
- Taco Seasoning
- Salsa
- Mexican four-cheese blend
- Scallions
- Sour Cream
- Hot Sauce
On a baking sheet spread a layer of tortilla chips and spray lightly with cooking spray. Saute` chicken and taco seasonings in a small pan until incorporated. Spread chicken, salsa and cheese on chips. Place in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until chips are lightly browned and cheese is melted. Garnish with extra salsa, sour cream, hot sauce and scallions. Serve with favorite beverage.
