So, I’ve gotten
behind on my posts over the last few weeks. Here within lies the problem,
I’m a doer, not an observer…
Let’s think about
this. Does Aaron Rodgers have a blog where he tells you what an awesome
quarterback he is? No, that is the job of the sportswriters of America.
Likewise, Michael Jordan never had to blog about what a great basketball player
he was, there were writers to do this for him. In a perfect world, I
shouldn’t be responsible for blogging about what an awesome, MVP caliber
burrito appreciator I am. Sadly for me, the Burrito Writers of America
have been on strike since 1972, and there is no end to this strike in site (did
you ever wonder why this is the only burrito site you have ever read?).
Some old school writers are still able to write about local taco and gordita
issues, but the burrito writers, due to union restrictions, have been
banished. If we had a reporter from Burrito Monthly following the BP and
me around 24-7, can you imagine what a great site this would be? Wow, now
that would be something worth reading about!
I could take this
opportunity to blog about all of the awesome burritos that I had to end the
month, however, I would rather take this opportunity to look forward.
Below is a short list of places I want to check out in anticipation of the 2013
Burrito Season:
Birria Huentitan
4019
W. North Ave.
1626
S. Halstead
2834
W. Cermak
La Lagartija
132
South Ashland
Sadly, unlike 2011,
extra time will not be granted to Burrito Appreciation Month. With
Burrito Appreciation Month almost a fortnight past, its time has gone this
year. The lady at the door has long since beckoned, and it is time to
grab my coat and get out of here. I will say this, though, wow, what a
month!
For the first time
ever, I had a Cinco abstinence party. I dined with super king burritos,
and was introduced to magical doors. I studied the history of Irish
Burritos and explored the important issue of when a crepe becomes a
burrito. I even was a creator, delivering us the Tommy’s Taco Style
Burrito.
I don’t know if the
Burritophile will live to see another burrito appreciation month, man is he in
rough shape. He was so busy inhaling burritos and enjoying them that I
don’t think he and his colon Ted will ever make amends. Other body
systems, including his blood vessels and lungs, are so full of burritos that
they are starting to fail. We can only pray that the sun rises for him in
2013; another rigorous off-season training session will most definitely be
required from him.
I figured that I would
end 2012 Burrito Season like this so the ending of Sopranos, Lost, or whatever
show you watch with a bad ending would seem less lame. Onward to 2013 and
catch you on the flip side!
