Stacking cheddar and stupid is as stupid don't

Last week, while cruising around Dallas on a trip to meet a friend in Fort Worth, I had a bit of time to kill. I decided I would stop by Whole Foods to, 1) waste time, and 2)buy a bottle of wine for a picnic that some friends and I would be having the next day. As I entered the store and made my way through various sections in order to find my wine aisle, fate precipitated young Greg into a sea of counters covered by blocks of chocolate. Distracted and intrigued, I stopped to peruse the selection when, suddenly, like a midnight sun, a blinding light caught my eye. The source? A stunning beauty just to my right, glistening in the grocery store lights like the hood of a Camaro on a sunny summer day in California. Unable to avert my eyes, I approached with caution. Never having been a believer of the saying that the grocery store is a great place to find the love of your life, you can understand my hesitance. I looked around to make sure the coast was clear, not that any soul could prevent what was to happen next. After all, this was fate. I moved nearer with a few blundering steps, and then, after several nervous glances, it happened...

I picked up the most beautiful 0.53-pound block of white chocolate that the world has ever seen. It was a stunning, awe-inspiring, $8.99/lb conglomeration of sugar, cacao butter, dry whole milk, soy lecithin as an emulsifier, and natural vanilla flavor (listed in order by quantity) that the grocery gods had put together just for me.

When fate brings two things together like it did with this rectangular block of Callebaut white chocolate and me, exigent action is required. We can move toward the target that destiny hath placed in our path and whose existence, most likely, was preordained as a source of pleasure for us, or we can squander the opportunity by tarrying away that ephemeral moment.

Forrest Gump once said "Stupid is as stupid does." While these words of wisdom are extraordinarily applicable to daily life, sometimes they must be manipulated to better reflect our quotidian circumstances. Thus, as a result of my experience, I am now a vehement follower of the words "Stupid is as stupid don't."

Also, I found employment.
