A tasteless lifestyle

There is a man, let’s call him Snack Wrap (though he is known in certain circles as Filet O’Fish), so immersed in the tasteless lifestyle he has been unable to fulfill even the most basic social obligations. Over a month ago, Don Noodle set up this fine blog and asked us both to participate, to share our financial struggles and our journeys into tastelessness. Since then, some of us have gone further down that road than others. I, not known for my punctuality, took a whole month before I wrote my first post. What it took was Don Noodle reminding me that he had paid $10 for the domain name: www.tastelesslifestyle.com. Hearing his tale of irresponsible but selfless spending, I was shook to the core and immediately began to draw up my first post. What if I was short $10, how much worse off would I be? Could I spend without any regard for my own well being? These were the questions that raced through my mind as I frantically typed away and yet, now a week later, Snack Wrap is likely sitting unconscious in his favourite chair, his mouth gaping wide. At his feet, there is a collection of used napkins and Tim Horton’s wrappers (He maintains that the Tim Horton’s Chicken Snack Wrap has the best cost to nutrition ratio in the current fast food market, hence the name). His hands are down his faded sweat pants and…well, you get the picture. This is a man without conscience, without guilt or shame. But that is precisely why Snack Wrap’s involvement here is so important. Clearly, I’ve been unable to completely divest myself of taste and still seek the approval of my peers. But these are burdens that Snack Wrap lives without. So let his utter disregard for civility be an example of how we should all live our lives in these tasteless times! Pray that we might have something of value to offer this great man, so that one day when the cosmos aligns just right, he may share his wisdom with us.
