Tuesday evening I was having a hard time coming up with something to blog about. I’m sticking with that whole blogging every day thing for as long as I can. I’ve still got a streak going and I just don’t want to break it unless I absolutely have no choice.

So I took to the Twitter, asking if anyone had any ideas for me. T over at No Love for Fatties is actually the only one who responded. Unfortunately, it was after I’d already decided to write up yesterday’s Thank You Notes post.

YES! Write something happy and funny and not about the situation we are living in right now

Haha Okies! Well next time cupcakes and rainbows please!

So I got to thinking about cupcakes and rainbows…

And I’m going to say something that’s likely to make me unpopular. I don’t really like cupcakes all that much.

But, bear in mind, this is coming from the guy that doesn’t like chocolate, either. I really don’t have much of a sweet tooth. That’s what it really boils down to.

I do like cake. The part that irritates me is the icing. And the way they make cupcakes these days, they’re about 82% icing. A cupcake might be the opposite of an iceberg. Most of the mass is on top, while there’s just a little bit of cake under the surface.

I just find that icing is too sweet. Sometimes it hurts my teeth. And then there’s the issue of having facial hair and trying to eat a cupcake. I mustache the question: do you have any idea how difficult it is to clean all that icing out of a mustache? It’s not pleasant.

Those who like icing could argue that the mustache thing then becomes a flavor saver and you can keep on enjoying that sweet taste long after the cupcake is eaten. But… no… it’s just not for me.

Like I said, I like the cake. So I guess I’d be more of a muffin man. A muffin man. A muffin man.

I’ve always been a fan of a good blueberry muffin. Though I don’t think I’ve really strayed too far beyond that particular flavor. Wow… I’m not very good at this, am I?

Rainbows are still cool though. I always like trying to guess if the conditions are just right for a rainbow to appear before I actually see one in the sky, then turning to where my mind knows it should be and seeing it. It’s like winning a bet with myself.

And I like the mnemonic device, ROY G BIV, to help us remember the order of the colors in a rainbow. But… uh… is indigo really a color? Are we just making that up. Someone help me out. It doesn’t fit on the color wheel I made in my painting class during my junior year of high school.

That was a fun class. Man, did I have a crush on our student teacher that semester. I might have asked her to the prom. You know, if I’d been the kind of person who went to prom. Or asked girls on dates. Or talked to women I find attractive in general.

I’m pretty sure I’ve derailed. But there you are, T. Cupcakes. Rainbows. The floor is now open to discussion. Please keep all rebuttals to a limit of five minutes.
