Salsa! It's not just for chips anymore!

well at least for me. yea yea you are like WTF is she talkin about. ok, let me tell you somethin about me. i'm not much of a risk taker. *holds hand up* nope i know, it might seem that way, but really i'm not. for one thing, social situations freak me out to the point of wanting to live in hermitville, but i'm human so i have that innate desire for human contact/stimulation. i don't have an abundance of friends. god i couldn't trust that many people all at once! anyhoo, you'd think that because art was my passion, i'd be all *artsy, creative, try new and freaky things* ok the new and freaky things yea, but i have to be prodded *poke poke*. it must be the oldest child syndrome. that i can discuss later. so anyhow, i'm kinda simple i guess you could say. i don't strive too far from the norm. really. in some things. although i like changes. i like the small changes. i change my desktop/screensaver often. i change the candles in my room. i change the ringtone on my phone. hell there's so many out there, whyy would you want to keep the same thing forever and ever? ok yea i know it's that comfort zone thing. hell i would rather break out of my comfort zone voluntarily *i.e. survival school at BOSS* rather than be pushed *i.e. being laid off* but hey, then that just FORCES you to re-look at your comfort zone and what you can do. i don't cook well. i would be able to figure out how to use the grill, but i haven't really, not from start to finish. i cook basic things. i read recipes and follow them to a T. i don't digress, i feel that i'd make an awful disgusting dish LOL. i have on occasion. but i'm learning to loosen up *moves head around like Rocky ready for his fight*. ok so i made grilled chicken the other day, with differert herbs some barbeque sauce and topped it with salsa. now i like salsa but it has that *tang*. but it actually complemented the chicken. to my surprise. ok so i make eggs this morning, decide to top them with salsa instead of ketchup. ok i haven't used ketchup on eggs in like forEVer, but my niece uses it LOL. not too bad, i sliced up a corn tortilla and threw it in the scramble with some cheese, not too shabby. i'd rather use the salsa for chicken tho. so needless to say, salsa might just be used more often.

ok now we know that there are rattlesnakes in georgia. hell they hold a rattlesnake roundup in Claxton I think. now Claxton is the FRUITCAKE CAPITAL of the world my friends. how do i know this? they post it on a huge ass billboard when you drive through haha! ya know, i have never ever actually tasted fruitcake. anyhow, i digress. anyhow, my POINT is, on this side of the town *west of atlanta* you don't see any. well lo and behold, my ex found one. according to him, he has never seen one in his 30some odd years here. and well neither have i, not outside of a zoo. he's got copperheads and kingsnakes, rat and water snakes, but this was a first. now he's a country boy and he shoots first asks questions later in some cases. snakes, poisonous ones that is, is one such occasion. he won't kill any of the others. ok so anyhow, his dog has this one penned up. i wasn't there so this is coming from him. wish i was. i've seen copperheads at his place. they are non too pleasant. they bite first. they don't give you any warnings. not like other snakes. they are just plain mean. anyhow apparently the rattle was going strong, the dog was ok, and well ya, the ex done the snake in. when i dropped off his h00ters gift certs he told me the story, so i went to go find the body (he saved the head and rattle). and as with most animals and such, most aren't goin to be big in the wild since they have to run all over god's green earth to find food. but i'll be damned if this thing was fat and big. *holds hand up* now i'm sure you'all like WTF is she talkin about this for? i'm a freak, weird?? maybe, maybe not. i like what's out doors, i find the natural world interesting. hell, could have eaten this thing, that's how big it was. o not for dinner but still. i wouldn't mind trying it. hell they eat gator and snails and whatnot! LOL. anyway, couldn't cause it was already over a day dead and i ain't pickin that up to skin it and eat it. but it was a biggun. a first for these parts i'm thinkin. a first for me, to see actually outside. i probably would have made him save it if i was there. at least move it somewhere. o i wouldn't pull a Steve Irwin or Jeff Corwin, although i might have tried haha! i don't have a snake hook LOL. i did try that once on a snake i saw in the middle of a dirt road. i'm like hmm, why didn't this thing give me a hard time when i picked it up? well it's spine was broken, someone ran over it. it was a gorgeous snake. wish i had a photo of it myself, cause the one here just doesn't do justice. it was like a purplish-bluish-black. i just moved it to the side, i guess i could have put it out of its misery but i just couldn't.

ah well such is the life of one georgia girl ;P
