You know what I love?

Dark chocolate.
Not milk chocolate, not white chocolate, not whatever kind of chocolates there are....dark chocolate. The darker the better. I think I could've possibly made some sort of joke there about how I like my chocolate the same way I like my women, but I veered away from that one.

Now I realize its not for everyone, but I think it has grown in popularity the past couple years. The Hershey's Special Dark, Dove Dark Chocolate, etc.....I really don't feel the need to start naming brands and varieties. I found a new one in the store today that I just had to buy for the drive home from Marshall....Hershey's Extra Dark with Macadamia Nuts and Cranberries. Interesting and different to say the least, but it was delicious. I can remember years ago (like @ the high school years) where I can specifically recall disliking the slight bitterness, etc. of dark chocolate. But people's taste buds change, of course....and mine obviously developed a liking for this wonderful, dark masterpiece. I'm glad. Regular old chocolate or milk chocolate or whatever is good. But it is oh so nice to give your palette an invigorating change of pace now and then. Make your brain wonder what's going on, and challenge your sense of taste with something new, different and exciting. That's why I love it when I can talk myself into trying something new at a restaurant, instead of getting your usual, old, fail-safe entree. Now, of course, you'll sometimes run across something that just doesn't float your boat and really doesn't work out for you...but at least you can say you tried. Its just a small way to try and live a little, and not get stuck in a rut.

So, long story made short....I love dark chocolate.

I think I might try to make this "You know what I love?" thing a weekly post. I've found it extremely hard to blog since my last post. There have been several things I've wanted to blog about, just finding the time has been difficult. Between taking turns making a baby happy, traveling all over East Texas for work and just working late hours even after getting home from the various courthouses....time just hasn't been there. I know there are some people who can just keep that blogging machine truckin right along, even with their wife in the hospital.....**cough, cough, Todd, cough**....but I just haven't been able to. Twitter has been a great tool for me though. Its soooo much easier to do little snippets throughout the day, especially being able to do it easily from my phone.....I find it hard to easily and fully utilize Blogger from my phone's browser. Anyways, hope nobody missed me....I'm sure you didn't. Maybe it will get better soon. Later homies!
