Funny story I guess...

The honest truth is, There are millions upon millions of people that have a worse dealt hand then me. I know that, and there will be people who will read this blog then murmur and say nasty things. I understand this, that this is a fact. Just know that this blog is my personal journal, my thoughts about stuff, or I just need to get something off my mind. But hey, if there is anyone that reads it and likes this blog, whether they think it is interesting, or something they can relate to that is wonderful too.

So to continue....

I have somewhat of a funny story to tell about today.
So today was the homecoming carnival. Booths everywhere, food, junk food, games, hats, clothes, EVERYTHING! It was truly amazing. I was walking around with my friends, tasting some food here, watching some kids try to sumo wrestle here, or watching these kids getting dunked into water. Well my friends and I walk up to this Spanish booth, and we see kids stuffing Jalapeno peppers into his mouth. Entertaining right? Well, I guess the booth was doing is you try to eat as many jalapeno peppers as you can in 1 minute. It seemed very difficult since we were seeing football players crying over these big green jalapeno peppers. Like oh my bejoshua this seems excruciating.
Well my friend and I finally get up the courage to do a face off between him and I. I feel like I have to beat him cause I am a girl and I need to represent! He is overly confident that he is going to win because...well...he is a guy.
So they say go and I get one pepper down easy. And I thought, Wow that wasn't that hard at all! It wasn't till the second one did the burning slowly start to occur, but I kept on going. By the 3 pepper, my mouth and throat were burning. I would bite the pepper and the juice would splatter and pour into my mouth like an exploding volcano. As the juice would slowly drip drip drip down my throat the burning would slowly begin.
At 45 seconds I had 3 peppers down. I had to get a 4th, I just had to. So I grab this decently large pepper and just bite it down. The timer had rung and in the end I beat my friend 4 peppers - 2 1/2.
Total like in your face victory right...? Wrong, by this time the burning effect had reached its full momentum and the tears were rolling down both of our faces. I throats tasted like nasty fire, and our stomachs swished and turned to the stinging punch.
I got a lot of cheers from girls and guys. It was pretty fun...except...I spent the next 20 minutes in the bathroom throwing up.

I guess the lesson to be learned in this post is a very DUH- lesson. DO NOT try to eat a huge amount of jalapenos in one minute. It will come and sting you right back.
