"Little Things" January 2008

There's something about the way my heart floats on a sunny day
There's something about saying outloud all the things I never say
There's something about the way you hold me in your arms so tight

It's these little things in life
I love the most

There's something about the way I feel when I write a song
There's something about having a good cry when you're all alone
There's something about the way your lover can read your mind

It's these little things in life
I love the most

Don't you you forget these little things in life
Don't you forget to let the sun shine
Upon your face, feel its grace, and let it warm you

There's something about the way a good friend can ease your pain
There's something about the way a memory still remains
There's something about knowing everything will be alright

It's these little things in life
I love the most

The Red Hot Chili Pepper

So I accidentally bit into one of these while eating dinner with a friend at a Thai restaurant the other night. I had to write about this because it was one of the most painful experiences ever!

Heres the story...
I was eating soup and I saw a redish orange skinny thing floating and I thought it was a carrot. I am quite fond of carrots so I scooped it out and bit right in. Instantly there was an explosion in my mouth..my tounge, gums and throat where on fire! It felt like I drank some kind of chemical or got shocked in the mouth. Like and electric fire bomb had exploded. I drank water but that did nothing. I ate more soup and that was worse. I was tearing up and suddenly the sweats came over me. I was laughing and crying at the same time shocked that this was happening. We didn't have our dinner yet so there was no rice or carbs to use to soak up the lava in my mouth. My friend was trying to help but also laughing so hard at my current state that we nearly peed ourselves. After to glasses of water and some rice it began to subside. I had to let my dinner cool off before I could eat it because although it was not spicy, it was temperature hot and my mouth was ultra sensitive to that too. This might have been one of the funniest moments in public as well. I wonder what our neighbors thought..maybe thatI had mental issues and was having an episode?? But man, was that hot. I so wish I had this on video!

I may be a wimp but I can't imagine how some people can eat these and handle it...maybe they just take the pain for a dare or something who knows.

Does anyone have a similar story?
