No, I Will Not Peel My String Cheese Before I Eat It

No, I Will Not Peel My String Cheese Before I Eat It

Good Lord am I in a rush! I’ve got so much to do! Got to stop by Lowe’s, pick up some mulch for the yard, get to the post office before they close, scream at the sun, take out the trash. I simply do not have time to peel this string cheese!


Life is a struggle, 'cept when I'm mulchin!

My coworkers always comment ‘Jesus Vince, just peel the damn thing, you’re upsetting me’ or ‘Come on, my son is here, please stop’ or ‘MY EYES MY GOD YOUR FINGERS ARE IN MY EYES’. The prima donnas! I just think they need to open their mind up to different ways of eating.

The stresses and tribulations of modern life really get to a guy. Not enough hours in the day. Why add the burden of peeling this cheese before I take a big ol bite out of the whole thing? Heck, maybe I’ll take a bite out of the side! Sometimes, when I see my reflection, I don’t recognize the person in the mirror. Is God dead? How am I?

I guess I’m just the type of guy to question the norm. We do a lot of strange stuff in the course of everyday life. Personally, I don’t tip. I think that if we want to move to the far superior European system of quality service we have to stop encouraging these antiquated practices. Also, why doesn’t anyone acknowledge the fact that every dog in the world is constantly chanting my name in a ritual that is surely intended to invoke the wrath of the Dark One to afflict my mortal coil? I mean, we all can hear it, right? Why not put a stop to it! Before it’s too late!

Whoops! Lost my train of thought there.

Mondays right?!

I remember when I was a kid, and my dad took me to a minor league hockey game. I saw a guy eating peanuts, taking his sweet time to meticulously shell and eat each one. What a waste! I used to throw toads up in the air and watch them splatter on the ground. I trained my body to digest the whole peanut, shells and all. Lotta nutrition in those shells! Sometimes I feel like a Sioux warrior on the plains, never letting any part of the kill go to waste, except it’s peanuts and not buffalo.

I just don’t see the point in wasting time in frivolities. I would like to meet the person who made string cheese. By what process does it actually string? Why not make it a single block of cheese that is, like us God fearing Americans pledge every morning, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all? I imagine that the inventor of string cheese is largely responsible for our slow economy these past few years. It’s true! I read a study! Lotta wasted time.

I just feel like society’s rules hold us back. They tell us where to be, how to behave, how to eat, how to sleep, how to breathe, how to love, how to die, how to kill, how to end, how to never stop never stop never stop never stop never stop ever never stop I need to stop please God. It’s enough to drive a person up a wall!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
