I would like to take this opportunity to address an ongoing concern of mine. Something that we as the human race should finally come together and stamp out while we still can. I am speaking of course of spiders. Yes yes some of you will say that spiders pose no threat to humanity. That they actually provide a valuable service in the form of eating insects and other small bothersome pests. This is merely a rouse that their kind perpetuate to draw suspicion away from their true agenda. Arachnids sole purpose on this planet is to destroy mankind. They lurk in the shadows and under furniture biding their time until they grow strong enough to eradicate us once and for all. They are the embodiment of evil and must be stopped at all costs. Do not feel guilty for squashing them with a tissue or shoe. Believe me if a spider could it would crush you under its boot without a second thought. Their eight legged scheming has to be brought to an end before they rise up against us. Laugh at me if you must but when the day comes when your staring up at their giant gleaming robotic death machines sent to enslave us you'll remember the words of the man that tried to warn you!
Thanks for stopping by and giving my blog a read. I hope you all have an awesome day!

The Last Truth
Installment 30 → A letter to yourself, tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself
Dear Cecil,
Hey there old friend. I just wanted to touch base with you and tell you a few things I love about you. I know you've had a rough time for a while but have started to turn things around. I thought a few kind words from someone who knows you well might help you stay focused on your goals. The most important thing I love about you is your ability to make the best of a bad situation. Life has given you lemons more than a few times and you generally find a way to make the most out of what you have. Of course things could always be better and you still wish things were different but you take what ever you have at the moment and try to get the most out of it you can. Furthermore you are a good looking guy. Sure you have your weight issues but you have an attractive face and more important you are beautiful on the inside. This inner beauty shines through to anyone who bothers to get to know you. And for those that don't its their loss. You are a good hearted, friendly, warm, intelligent, honest, funny person and anyone would be lucky to have you in their life. Well I don't want to make your head too big. Just keep doing what you're doing, stay on the path, and you'll get to where you want to be before you know it. Take care of yourself buddy.
Love ya,
Darnack
Well that completes my 30 Installments of Truth series. If you have read them all I hope you understand me a bit better now or at the very least were entertained by my insanity. What's next now that this project is over? Well you'll have to keep checking back in to see won't ya? ;) Take care of yourselves and Have an Awesome day.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
Installment 29 → Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.
Well the number one thing I want to change about myself is my weight. I want to be thin. I'd settle for not being huge. I have struggle with weight issues my entire life. I am sick to death of being fat. I am presently counting calories, watching what I eat, making an effort to do more every day. It is working. I am seeing results. Its a slow process but anything worth doing is worth waiting for. I mean all the weight I am trying to lose didn't appear in a day so its not gonna fall off in a day. I look at myself and I am just not happy. I don't like myself at this size and if I don't like myself how can I expect others to? Losing weight & getting into shape is the cornerstone in my attempt to get myself back on track. I figure if I can do that everything else should be simple.
These have been short lately. I don't know if I am saying less than I should or if the questions are just too simple. Anyway thanks for stopping by. I have one more installment to go so be sure to tune in for the last one. Have an awesome day y'all!

Preggers
Installment 28 → What if you were pregnant or got someone pregnant, what would you do?
Seeing as it would be quite impossible without serious medical intervention for me to get pregnant I will focus on the second half of this question. First of all I would not be in this situation unless it was someone I cared a great deal for. I am not a one night stand or love em and leave em kind of guy. At this stage in my life I do want children so this news would thrill me to no end. I would hope that the mother of said child would want to marry me. If she didn't for what ever reason I would still stand by her and give any and all support I could. Not only through the pregnancy and birth but throughout the child's whole life. A child needs their father. If for some reason the mother of said child did not want me in the child's life I would endeavor to change her mind while respecting her wishes and offering financial support. One of my long term goals is to have a wife & kids, a happy marriage, a close family, and a happy home.
Well that seems a bit short but I think it about covers my thoughts on the matter. Take care of yourselves and have an awesome day!

Cheeseburger Dumplings
Cheeseburger Dumplings
1 Pound of Ground Beef
1 Jar of Cheese Sauce (I use Ragu Double Cheese)
6 Beef Bouillon Cubes
2 Cups of AP Flour
1 Large Egg
8 TBS Butter softened
1 tsp salt
1/2 Cup of Milk
+ Put about the same amount of water you would use to boil a pound of dry pasta in a large pot with 6 beef bouillon cubes. Put the pot over high heat until it boils. Then reduce the heat to medium-high and add 3 TBS of softened butter.
+ While the water is boiling grab a mixing bowl and start your dumpling batter. Combine the flour, egg, 5 TBS of softened butter, salt, & 1/2 cup of milk. Mix well and set aside.
+ After you add the butter to the boiling water, we are ready to add the dumplings. Get about a heaping teaspoon full at a time and flatten with your fingers. Then drop into the water and repeat until all the batter is in the pot. Drop each dumpling in a different area to help prevent sticking. After 6 or 8 dumplings its ok to go back to an area again as the dumplings should be firm enough that they won't combine with the new one.
+ Once all the dumplings are in the water stir and reduce heat to medium. Stir occasionally so they don't stick together or burn.
+ Brown the ground beef using whatever seasonings you like. Drain the fat once the beef is browned and then add the cheese sauce. Mix well and let warm over medium to medium-low heat.
+ Drain the dumplings in a strainer removing all the cooking liquid. Return the drained dumplings to the pot and pour in the cheese & meat sauce. Mix well and serve.
With sides this should feed 3 to 4 people. As a stand alone meal it feeds 2.

I hope you enjoyed this recipe. If you cook this I'd love to hear what you thought. Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome day!

HOPE
Installment 27 → What’s the best thing going for you right now?
As I endeavor to get myself back on track there is one thing that keeps me going. I want a normal life back. I want a car, a job, my own place to live, friends I can visit in person & spend time with, and that special someone to share my life with. It is the hope that all of this will come back into my life that keeps me going. I have lost hope many times in my life. Without it you just sit and stagnate. But when you have hope it helps keep you moving forward. Envision what it is you want, then make small achievable goals. This way you can tell that you are making progress. It may seem like some self-help seminar clap trap but believe me it works. At the very least it helps keep you sane and focused in your dark hours. Hope, its a great thing!
