Noodle Tofugel

Ouch I have a splitting headache, yeah don't get heat exhaustion it hurts, and I've thought I had it before but usually an air conditioner and water makes me feel better, but my headache really hasn't gotten any better, but now it's gone to a regular headache instead of a crescendoing headache as I earlier described it, it was weird.

OK so a lot has happenned since my last post lets see work work work A little Diedre work work work and a tad bit more Diedre and then one night with Robert and kevin. IHOP and Kevin returns in a few days, so they have a new waiter they harass who had the place mats at for the both of them before they got there and they were like yep we brought another friend tonight, and it's like holy crud are they really here that often.

and then as we were leaving this group of pretty dirty looking teens were all like bye max (the lady at the register) and I was like man everyone here this late seems to know someone who works here and she was like there disgusting and mentioned stuff I really didn't want to know that they said to her about their level of sanitaryness.
and we fled as they were having fun jumping on their car

and I kind of laughed to myself cuz I don't care what type of sleeping medicine your on, you will never fall asleep in Roberts car no matter who you are, sorry Diedre it's just not possible.

Ok so now for what in the world noodle tofugel is. . . other than the word of the post and possibly a runner up for the awesomeest word ever.

It comes from noodle kugel which way to many people don't know what that is, it is so good it should not just be a jewish thing but for everyone mmm mm if you don't know umm hard to expain noodles, lots of sugar, cream cheese, cup of milk, eggs, lots of time in an oven. Ok so now why this is tofugel instead kugel, ummm . . .well Diedre told me to buy cream cheese I had no idea why, and she said somthing about or you can get some cheap brand or somthing, well I thought the name seemed somewhat similiar unfortunately I missed that it said it was tofu cream cheese and was probably more expensive instead of cheaper oh well my loss you couldn't really tell after it had been cooked, but before hand, oh yeah you could.

It was so awesome, like I had been like the first time I ever had noodle kugel I had been dazzled, it was amazing but most the other times i have it, it really doesn't ever compare
Well this more than compared it was awesomely delicious, probably helped that it was fresh and not sitting in a synogauge for a weekend. That and homatashins I have to make everyone try.

mmm. . .

ok I'm done so to finish if anyone's seen the I gf 3.0 to wife 1.0 things here's another one
Dear Tech Support:

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slowdown in the performance of the flower and jewelry applications that had operated flawlessly under the Boyfriend 5.0 system.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.9, and installed undesirable programs such as NFL 7.4, NBA 3.2 and NHL 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 also no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.

I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

Future

ok so there's been a whole lot of stuff since my last post, a whole lot in work, from laughs with a girl singing my girl to a kid chasing down another kid in the pool and punching him in the face, and that was just one day. but this is called future because I've had a lot of thoughts about what I want and don't want in my future.
OK a note about me I have this problem with all the deciscions we make now a days on things that don't really have a reason. Mostly cuz stuff like that is how all these problems like gay stuff gets so out of hand cuz everyone is just like oh its bad no reason, so personally I don't really make decisions unless there's a reason too, so at times that makes me kind of slow.

ok so now back to the point and away from ranting.


So for one I realized for once I reallly do want a place of my own, I mean I never really realized I don't really have a place I can go I used to just hide but 2 hiding spots used a thousand times just doesn't work.

for those who want the story I was on stand apparently staring at the deep end as Courtney put it, while some girl in the shallow end started panicking she jumped in, and got her, I got a talk that here were serious about our jobs, and got told all the things I did wrong, and got to talk with bosses boss, and I had to go home an hour early. while the guard who made the save stayed, and I couldn't go home and tell my mom. I couldn't tell Diedre either and those were really the only places I am anymore. So I started driving not sure where but in general home direction. Then I really understood how teenagers love that whole driving and fast thing god I hated speed limits, and really wished gas was free cuz I just wanted to waste gas and drive around. so I drove down 518 and knew I didn't want to go home so made a left instead of a right. Then realized I should get some YMCA paper work done. So instead of turning around tried to take Bay Area blvd which is frickin long. So got to the Y and found out that the gas thats normally cheaper over here was the same price got the Y stuff done got home exactly the time I should have. Everyone thought something was wrong and I lied and just said I was tired I didn't nkow how to explain that. It just kept going through my head that i wasn't saving lives I was killing them.

Now that I've said that I really can't think of my other thoughts of the future, but they were there. huh

well quote of the post:
letter to myself we had to write for calc last year or I guess 2 years ish now
"do you still rock (from side to side)"
and if you've known me for a long time you konw exactly what I'm talking about its so awesome.
mwah love all of you

Confirmation B:

This post was almost titled cookie dough because twice I accidentally convinced people to buy cookie dough that I got a piece of once lifeguarding someone mentioned they should have a cookie drive through and I was like and also sell cookie dough I went up on stand and when I got down they had boughten cookie dough; before that I was at Diedre's and they mentioned something about cakes and I was like or cookie dough next thing I know I'm driving Diedre to the store so we can get cookie dough. mmmm I do love cookie dough.

ok now I'm sorry because most of my friends agree with me that religious nuts are ok. . . I'll leave it but today I get to be a religious nut sorry. so if you ignore this post I won't mind, but they get better as they go lower so if you don't like prayer type stuff skip the top one or two.
OH right forgot to explain a bit Friday the 2nd was my brother Brandon's confirmation and it shouldn't make me all excited but it does, hearing those speeches and my rabbi, and ahh seeing some of the prayers they normally don't do (english ones I understand) just made me remember why I love being jewish, and so here are some stuff from the book. This is in honor of my brothers confirmation, and really I do think ya'll should read this it willl give you a little insight on me, but if you don't care then dont worry. and if the religious bothers you that much I certainly won't hold it against you. ps the first one is the longest and most godly so . . . yeah


P.63
"There are no words more challenging than
"You shall be holy!"
There is no command more basic than "You shall love!"

There is no insight more fundamental as "In the beginning, God,"
No words so life-enhancing as "You shall rest!"

No cry is more compelling than "Let my people go!"
No consolation more comforting than
"I am with you in your distress."

There is no vision more hopeful than
"They shall beat their swords into plowshares,"
And no summon more demanding than
"Justice, justice shall you pursue!"

These words have out lived monuments and empires;
We want them to live through us, until the end of time. . .

We owe it to the world to keep Torah alive;
This is a message which the world needs to hear."

P.106 (this ones kind of long too I don't think as long though. ps I am the living extension of the 2nd type)
" Why do we say "Our God and God of our ancestors?"
There are 2 kinds of people who believe in God. One believes in virtue of tkaing over the faith of the parents; the other has arrived at faith through thinking and studying.
The difference between them is this: The advantage of the first is that, no matter what arguments may be brought against it, the faith cannot be shaken; it is firm because it was taken over from one's parents. But there is one flaw in it: it is faith only in responce to human command, acquired without studying or thinking for oneself.
The advantage of the second is that, because God has been found through much thinking, the believer has arrived at a personal faith, independently. But here, too, there is a flaw: it is easy to shake faith by refuting it through evidence.
But the person who unites both kinds of faith is invincible. And so we say "Our God" with reference to our studies, and "God of our ancestors" with an eye to tradition. "

P. 163 I AM A JEW
"I am a jew because Judaism demands no abdication of my mind.

I am a jew because
Judaism asks every possible sacrifice of my soul.

I am a jew because wherever there are tears and suffering the jew weeps.

I am a jew because the message of Judaism is the oldest and the newest.

I am a jew because the promise of a Judaism is a universal promise.

I am a jew because, for the Jew, the world is not finished; human beings will complete it.

I am a jew because, Judaism places humanity above nations and above Judaism itself."

A Russian proverb and a jewish midrash: (as well as I remember them)
Russian proverb:
There was a fox about to cross a river when a scorpion asked if he could cross on his nose, and the fox said no you will sting me I and I will drowned. The scorpion replied but if I sting you and you drowned I will drowned to. Following this logic the fox agreed and half way across the river the scorpion stung the fox and while the fox was drowning it asked why did you sting me now we will both drown, and it said but it is in my nature.

jewish midrash: There are two rabbi's sitting near a river and suddenly the old rabbi sees a bee floating down it reaches in and scoops it out to save it, it stings him and he yells ouch before putting it down next to the river. The bee crawls back into the river and the old rabbi once again goes back to the river scoops it out, yells ouch when it stings him and puts it even further from the shore to make sure it doesnt' get back in. The young rabbi asked, rabbi why do you keep doing that it is in the bees nature to sting you. The older rabbi replied, ahh but it is in my nature to save him.

Quote of the post:
It is not your obligation to complete the task [of perfecting the world], but neither are you free to desist [from doing all you can].

final note: ok so reading these they weren't exactly what I thought but they reminded me of why I'm jewish especially the I am a jew one, some were just small hints others not even really mentioned, others out right told to you, but these prayers if you want to call them that, are a small peek into why I love Judaism and why I am a jew. Part of what I find so amazing about this religion, that I tend to spend more time criticizing and . . . bad talking, that it doesn't really deserve. I love . . . a lot of things, and this is one of those things I hold close to me. And with most things that I hold close to me, I tend to rip it to pieces when I get frustrated, but lately lately the people I've brought close to me don't get tangled in that mess.
