Another guilty pleasure these days....Hell's Kitchen. Hearing Chef Ramsey yell at someone "DONKEY!" and "MOPHEAD!" I thought was rather humorous. I have one of those twisted senses of humor where when things like that happen I start to laugh.
I would get kicked off just for that.
I'm certain of it.
So all I have to lose is what? A few laughs? A bit of learning some professional cooking techniques (that I'm sure would come in handy in this sleepy little new England town)? So off I go to Fox.com.
They say all you have to be is 21, of which I qualify, and that I am in the United States legally.
Luckily I am one of the other hispanics that come here and don't have to worry about 'them' building a wall to keep us (them) out, oh wait, the wall is to keep terrorists out, even though they came in through the other border...but that's another story.
Anyway, all that was left was an email over to fox with some basic information...

I am a Male
I am a New Business Trainer for Lincoln Financial Group (Formerly Jefferson Pilot). I design and deliver training for experienced and new hire employees coming into the New Business Department whose primary business is personal wealth building insurance.
I would love to be on Hell's Kitchen so that I can learn not only about professional cooking, but working in a team environment under high pressure. Overcoming these obstacles and being able to deliver, not only to the public but also to Chef Ramsey, would be a great personal accomplishment.
Though I have not received any culinary training nor worked in a professional kitchen, it has always been an aspiration of mine. I have enjoyed being in the kitchen since I was a child learning traditional cooking from my Puerto Rican family. Today I still enjoy hosting dinner parties for friends and family. My place as host and cook, is to make sure that all that attend leave full, happy, and counting the days until the next one.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

When in Rome?
Well it has been almost a month since I last rambled on for the world to see....
The heir apperant is coming home soon but that is only due to the fact of involving an attorney to force the hand of the Queen of Ice. She wanted to go to court about something that she should have called about.
Stupid.
I lost nothing. That's not true, I lost a lot of sleep, thoughts, time wasted in worry. I lost plenty. My worry traces back to having to go to court and been treated as if I wasted their time. Interetsingly the Queen of Ice filed her paperwork with the court in hopes of the court finding me in contempt.
And from my point of view, nothing could be more true. I hold the 'court' in the highest contempt. Here in New England, in what they jokingly call Family Court, they have instilled what is called a Marital Master. This is a court employee, and by this I say a government employee like a police officer, the cranky person at the DMV, and the guy that picks up the garbage on Fridays.
Don't be confused...a judge is also a government employee, but the difference is that the judge can make the decisions. He's not a proxy judge like the marital master is. The marital master sits, listens, takes a few notes, sounds like a judge and by that I mean says things like "Overruled", "Sustained", and "your witness", but when it comes down to it, this person is taking notes for another person to make the actual decision.
It's like sending someone to take notes on your college courses and then you showing up to take the test.
Why doesn't that sound like a good idea? Would it not work? So then, why would this be different?
I heard it many times before and I am sure you have too...we have the best system in the world. Our court system exceeds all others.
I thought so until I saw it in action. Maybe it ought to be considered inaction. It is the court that should be held in contempt.
Isn't this how Rome fell?
