Have I Missed Something?

As I’m sure the teeming hordes have noticed (because truly, there are so many people clamouring to read this nonsense), my little corner of the world hasn’t been updated in quite some time. It would be nice to say that I’ve been spending my time following some noble pursuit. However, the truth is I’ve been too busy getting up, going to work, coming home and going to sleep, only to start the whole thing over again the next day. Rinse and repeat a few times and suddenly it’s the weekend.  That’s when the real fun starts, because you’ve only got a couple of days to pretend to have a life of your own before the whole cycle starts again. With a schedule like that, who has time for giving a shit about anyone other than me and mine? Actually, that’s not entirely true. Somehow I’ve managed to find the time to keep up with the very important news of the day. Deflate Gate? I’m there. Sherlock Holmes is unable to deduce that he can’t say “coloured” because he’s not these guys? Sign me up for the outrage! Overly simplistic hero worship contrasted with prickish nonsense whose sole purpose is to get attention? Bring on the drama motherfucker! I mean yea, I could be spending my time pretending to care about poor people, like this guy, but that requires a lot of work (and apparently a fuck ton of money); and frankly, I just don’t have time for anything that requires work.This should come as no surprise to those of you who know that I work in an office for a living, but that’s a rant for another day. My point is that my life revolves so much around my job that it’s easy to forget that there are real problems in the world. In fact, some of them are even worth caring about. I’m not really all that worried though, because I know when the shit goes down I can always count on those in power to do the right thing. Until then, I’ll just try to take comfort in the fact that there’s still some goodness in the world.

As an added bonus, here’s a recipe for some awesome dip. It’s also great with a curry, or as a condiment on a burger. Seriously, coprophilia has nothing on this shit.
1kg (2.2 lbs) of Greek Yogurt - Pretend you’re Sir Mix-a-lot… the thicker the better
1 bunch of Coriander/Cilantro - Or make some dill have a threesome with a lemon and some rocket and wait awhile… Alternatively, pull a Cosby and wait for them to go to sleep.
4 spring onions - Don’t be racist, use both the white and non-white portions.
2 cloves of garlic – Perfect for that special someone in your life.
A few sprigs of mint – Because you’ll never be as cool as this guy.
1 Habanero – You can never be too hard on an asshole.
Salt to taste – Half a teaspoon or so….. this is no joke. USE ENOUGH SALT.
I would add some instructions, but they would consist of “pick the leaves, chop everything like you’ve got some common sense, throw in some salt like a boss and mix” so what’s the point?
