Can # = 7


Can #...what, 7? More than halfway through the adventure. VAL2E 1ZSWG 09:46 best by AUG 20 2009.

More than halfway through this adventure, and so what? This tuna isn't bad. It's delicious! So what that my heiny never came back from it's once healthy glean. So what that one of my backsides is always full of ache, and that I'm reminded with every step I take that my time is coming to an end. Yes, just like this tuna blog, which is finite, so am I. That makes this tuna blog a metaphor for life, doesn't it. And that, my friends, makes it literarily valid. It makes my butt something too, literarily, but I don't know what. The point is, that it is not the tuna's fault, although it would be great if it was because that would be better.

Wait, let us talk about tuna with no transition. I had a sandwich and it was good. I had the same thing I had before, because I'm not even trying anymore. Although everything around me is telling me to stop living in hope, the dollar stores around where I live have had a huge influx of jarred jalapenos and banana peppers and chilies. And that, my friends is what is keeping me going. Even if I have only a little heel of bread to put it on. Remember, my friends, what came before that last little heel of bread, a whole loaf of bread.

  1. Ray, "it would be great if it was because that would be better" is one of my favorite sentences the english language has ever said. Thank you.

    When you run out of bread, make drop biscuits. It's so cheap and easy, and warms up a place and they smell even better than books. I think they would taste good with tuna, too. 1C flour, 1 1/2 t baking powder, 1/2 t salt, 2T butter, cut into all of the above, half a cup of milk, 450 10 minutes ... you're eating. And warm. And happy. -Your Mover Onner
