so things are going great for you...you are focused on the road ahead, you are working hard, you are playing it smart, and you are thinking that you have just about got it....that is when real life starts falling out all around you.....it is the taco of life! please let me explain...
when eating a taco, you get all your fixings in order...the meat of the taco, the refried beans, lettuce, onion, tomato, plenty of cheese. you may even put on a little salsa to spice it up, or maybe even some sour cream to cool it off a bit. now you take a bite of all those wonderful flavors combining to form this explosion of taste....kinda like life.
your world is the shell...sometimes hard...sometimes soft....self explanitory. the meat is the basic substance that supports you...your job...your family....love...etc. the refried beans (aka friends)are the glue that help to keep life together, and they also help keep the meat of life in place....perfectly grounded to the shell. lettuce, onion, and tomato are the basic fixins...sometimes you have more of one than the other, and sometimes you eliminate one all together...they are your daily/weekly/monthly lists...sometimes they get done, sometimes they do not...but either way, life goes on. and life, or the taco, would not be complete without cheese...and lots of it! and like the shell, cheese is fairly self explanitory...cheese is the smile...ya know, like, "say cheese!"...(thats where the saying comes from). salsa is the additive that packs a little kick...pick a thrill...any thrill. and sour cream being the coolness that is just as mild in taste as it is in color...it is a filler....
now, so far, we have built a taco (life), but we have yet to dive in...so you take a bite and everything seems ok, another, and another, always being careful to get just the right mix of your favorite flavors. there are a few constants...there is always a bit of shell, meat, and beans. the others are there to keep things mixed up and fresh. BUT WAIT!....what is happening here?...some of the "toppings" are starting to fall out the ass end of life...or taco, if you will. you must take your life, turn it around and try to eat the ass end of it before it hits the floor...you followin me? once this is done you should be ok, but then it happens again...the "toppings" of life start spilling out what was once the front, but is now the ass end! so you turn life around again to keep it from spilling out all over the floor.....
you may have to turn your taco around and eat the ass end of it many times in one sitting, but just do not ever let it hit the floor....if it does, you only have five seconds to pick it up! (or ten in my house!)

You're so clever.
ReplyDeleteHere's to plenty of lactose-free cheese and refried beans!
I eat my tacos on the floor. More efficient that way and I don't have to stain stick my clothes. But I'm gonna have nightmares now about the ass end of tacos. That's somehow just plain disturbing. Although seeing how the filling oft resembles shit, appropos.
ReplyDeleteif your life does end up on the floor, next time think of using the wrapper (your friends) they will give you more time or the tools (spork)(deductive reasoning)to help you pick your life up and consume it
