i love the inventor of utensils.

My life is full of embarrassing, interesting, and awkward moments. But I'm a strong believer that these moments just make life that much more interesting.

Today I arrived at Biomed Library after buying a meatball and rice plate at a food truck. I got settled in and then prepared to eat quickly before writing my paper when I realized that I hadn't been given an eating utensil. No fork, no spoon, not even a knife. It was quite a predicament, I wasn't sure what to do. I didn't want to leave the library because it was cold out and I had just begun to get in the zone. So I went on a search throughout the library for utensils. I went into the librarian lounge, the security room, random other rooms... and there were no utensils to be found.

So, what did I do? After strongly considering just eating the meal with my hands. (This is perfectly normal in many cultures by the way). I decided to be resourceful and used the cap of my Powerade bottle as a spoon/shovel to eat my meal. It worked decently well. Now some of you may be thinking, "Jason, why didn't you just walk 5 minutes back to the food truck or houston to get a utensil." I believe that this episode is a demonstration of my HARDCORE-ness (or my laziness).

Makes me really appreciate the simple pleasures in life, like sporks.

grammatical error fixed.

When I first published the note, it was titled "i love the inventor of the utensils."

i guess sometimes my inner fob comes out when i'm writing my blog.
