The Hotdog Man Cometh

Hello everyone how are you all?

Ok before i get into thursday's dedication post thingy, i'll give you guys the conclusion to my possible change of living....ok so i am not taking the flat. I talked it over with my cousins and we decided that there is no rush and there are much much better places to live especially in Heliopolis. So yeah i mean the place was very run down but i didnt mind so much but in the end they said i shouldnt be paying to live in a place that is in worse condition than where i am now. So yeah i have my room in the seminary till May and if i need to find a new place before then i will because i should stop worrying about things so much. I gotta learn how to take things in stride better. Anyway yeah i think though living in the seminary being surrounded with the people i want to eventually become is going to be good for me.

haha, another note is thank you all for your concerns on my eating situation and FINE i'll eat more but i wont like it...anyway haha seriously its ok i am still in good health and besides this new diet is doing wonders for my figure....haha anyway yeah dont worry i'll fix that.

And now onto my thursday dedication thing. As all of you know i dont think about this thing till i come to sit down at my computer the day of. So no need to email me requesting a dedication your time will all come...so yeah here we go: This morning i was talking with one of my co-workers who is going back to the states for a fund raising mission. Going state to state talking about Habitat. She hasnt been back to America in a good time so i asked "what is the first thing you are going to eat when you get back?" She said it was simple...she is from Colorado and is going to Chicago or something as the first stop and she said the first thing she is getting is a Chicago style hotdog...its like this huge hotdog that has mustard, pickles, and other things. Now back in the day i would think this sounded delicious...but now when i hear the word "hotdog" 3 things come to my mind:
1. how i never want to eat one again (due to a hotdog eating contest which i can talk about another time)
2. a bacon burger dog (the fictional amazing sandwich created by Bill Cosby and is often referenced in the Cosby Show...man it sounds so good)
and
3. Jon Heyman

Jon Heyman is the man who has been selected for thursdays dedication post. I met him when i transfered to SUNY Albany and i can remember what people had told me about him. They said "he is crazy...", "we call him bonk", and "haha, what is bonk like? you'll see..." so i mean i had no idea what to expect when i would eventually meet this "Bonk" but yeah when i finally did he was extremely normal and nothing like i expected. But i asked him what he wanted to be called if he really liked being called bonk, he said he would prefer jon, so jon it was. Anyway after that i got to know him eventually becoming my gym buddy and going with him after dinner to the gym to lift weights and be men and stuff like that. Haha there were many good times and many characters at the gym we eventually looked forward to seeing such as "cast away", "socrates", and others. Anyway i'll get to why the word hotdog puts jon heyman into my head all the time. He was telling me about back in the day when he and his friends had things called "meat pops" or something along those lines....basically they were frozen hotdogs and you just ate them straight up out of the freezer...haha yeah i mean i'll admit i have yet to try such a thing yet but it cant be that bad, right? i mean people eat weird things all the time. I have a friend who eats pears with american cheese, i have a friend who eats ketchup on ice cream, why not a frozen hotdog? OH! I am just reminded right now of another thing that has created a bond between jon heyman and me.

Salami and Cream Cheese on a Bagel. does that sounds weird? i dont think it does the more i say it the less weird it sounds, but people have said its weird. Anyway one day i was in the cafeteria with everyone and wanted to eat something i was like "i am going to have a salami and cream cheese sandwich on a bagel" everyone looked at me like "umm yeah you go do that" but jon heyman was like "no way...i thought i was the only one who ate that" and so it began an unbreakable friendship structured around salami and cream cheese on a bagel. The way i came to having discovered salami and cream cheese was when i needed to make lunch at home. We usually had some sort of deli meat around and i could make a sandwich but one day i opened the refrigerator and found very very limited selections. No bread, only bagels (meh no big deal) and then the only meat was salami...but what else? no lettuce or tomatoes, no mustard, i was not going to put mayonnaise on that thing but it needed something...anything....then i saw it cream cheese. I am like why not? So i did and BAM it was perfect it was so delicious. And so it began the most delicious thing i came up with on my own and i find that jon heyman shared my thoughts. Haha anyway yeah so for those who have never had a salami and cream cheese sandwich on a bagel. GO GET IT. It needs nothing else...well actually i should be fair i now add hot sauce to it thanks to shirlene thomas who puts hot sauce on everything...and i approve. If you can handle it hot sauce improves everything.. Anway thats about it Jon Heyman is the man and also just to state i admire his character.

He is a man of integrity and morals/ethics. You dont see many guys out there with a genuine care and concern for others. I mean i havent even seen this guy litter. So yeah he is cool and thats all i gues..
