Mexicanity

Hola. Welcome to Gusta. For all of you who still look sometimes at this blog, and haven't committed suicide because the fact that I haven't posted a post for a while... I'm not sure where I was going with that... It sounded funnier in my head.

Most of you know that I am Mexican, and proud. Through this post, I want to crush any and all Mexican stereo-types. We aren't all short, we can grow more than mustache, and we all can't jump over tremendously high fences... Just most of us. Just cause we are Mexican doesn't mean we automatically like tacos... Then again, who doesn't like tacos? We don't have ridiculously good-looking hair either... Actually, that one is true. I feel like I'm kind of proving myself wrong. Huh, I guess most those stereo-types are true.

Anyway, being Mexican is awesome. Walking around with the pride of being Mexican is a fantastic, indescribable feeling. It's not my Mexicanity that defines me... It's my gustfulness... Which comes from the Spanish phrase "Me Gusta"... Maybe my Mexicanity does define me? Well, there you go. Salsa is awesome... And burritos... And Fiestas... And piñatas.

Even though I'm half Mexican, I am fully proud.

Remember this

"Half of a whole is something more than nothing that is something more than fully half of a whole something... Is nothing... Without something."-Andrew K. Shock

So, being Mexican is awesome. Period. Exclamation Point. Comma. Period.

As always, stay sweet.

Gust it,

Gust

Orville and Alice Heilshorn

Hello, you have officially entered me gusta today. Haven't posted anything for a while because whenever I think of something funny to post, it's usally when I'm not at home and I'll forget. So, a few things you've missed, I've started the second half of my high school career, I have worked and quit a job at a golf course, summer has come and gone but the biggest thing is my grandparents, Orville "The Orv" and Alice "Punkie" Heilshorn, have moved into our house.

Orv and Punkie met about... one thing led to another, and they got married. One thing led to another and they had five kids, roughly about 24 grandchildren, and just about 7 great grandchildren. During all this time they lived on (insert their street address here) Schultz Street, Defiance, OH. Some odd a couple hundred years ago, Orv bought a great 2 level, 3 bedroom, 1000 to 1500 square foot home for 27 cents. Many events transpired here... children being birthed, plays, musical performances, probably about like 450,000 arugments, but as many arguments as there was, there was just as many sports games played. Even though the house was only about 1000 to 1500 square feet, when you were in it it felt like 500 square feet. In fact, rumor has it, one person just about passed out at their first family gathering... That person will remain nameless...... and I'm sure that's the way Amy Marie (maiden name Laukhuf) Heilshorn would want it.

Turns out Orv and Punkie were apart of a secret government organization called the P.E.F.E.B.S. (phresh, efficaiant, functional, economic, beings, super-cool.) Nobody knew about this until their cover was blow by some P.E.F.E.B.S.'s veterans. They were forced to move. They moved to Westerville, OH. In fact in the same house as our family. They now are undercover as just 2 normal old people doing old people things... listening to Rush Limbaugh, watching Fox News, being angry at Obama, giving their grandchildren stuff, ect. Living the life... or not? They, in fact, do live the life, but at what cost? I'll tell you, their lives are nothing compared to their P.E.F.E.B.S days.

All in all, they like it here. Orv asks every day "When are we going home?" as Alice simply replies "We are home, Westerville is our home." As I here that every day, I can only imagine what kind of P.E.F.E.B.S. secret code that is... heck, I wouldn't be surprised if they have some type of Headquarters under our house where they can still check on up to date secret missions. Orv and Punkie Heilshorn, 2 old people... 2 national heroes... 2 LEGENDS.

P.S.

About 75% of this wasn't true

Sincerely,

Gust

Sorry....not

Greetings all you who have enter gusta today. So, let's get right down to business. Your probably wondering why I haven't posted anything in a while. You're saying to yourself "Man, why is the Gust being so lazy? Has his comedic juices finally run out?" I'll answer that with another question....no!......? If you would refer to my other post I'm not gonna force it. I've got a job now people. I can't just be sitting around waiting for a comedic genius idea to come to me. Plus, what loser does that anyway? As Dwight Schrute once said "I am fast. To give you a reference point, I'm somewhere between a snake and a mongoose. And a panther." What the crap does that quote have to do with this blog? I have no idea, but it's funny, and that's what we are about here at gusta. (we being me)

So, in conclusion. Don't be hatin on gusta.

"For even though Gust does not blog often, when he does, the hilarity level is a 7 on a scale of 1 to 5."-Abaham Lincoln

Thanks for the backup Abe. See you thursday for poker with Elvis. Go ahead. Throw your empty sparkling grape juice bottles at the screen. (only if you have insurance on the computer. gusta can not be held liable for any broken screens. if you have questions please see my lawyer Bob Lob Law.) Remember, haters gonna keep hatin. Slushies are fantastic... go get one right now. Stay sweet.

Jelly Beans

Hey everybody, thanks a million for entering today. Jelly beans, what the crap? There are waaaaaay to many kinds of them and frankly, I think they have taken it too far. Now, I have no clue who created jelly beans but, I'm sure they didn't intend for the flavoring to get this out of hand.

As of late, they have made Starburst beans, warhead beans, sweet tart beans, and not to mention all the ridiculous jelly belly flavors they have been making. Baby wipes? Really?!?!?!?! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JKING ME!!! Anyway, it's just getting stupid. Jelly beans aren't even a good candy to begin with. Who's child asks "Mother and/or father? Can I get some jelly beans?" Nay, they ask for Sour patch kids, Skittles, Chewy Sprees...the real stuff!

I will admit that the Warhead beans were off the chizzle fo rizzle, but still. I know this wasn't a very long post, but I feel like I got my feelings out about jelly beans... and that is.....overated.

Thanks for reading stay sweet.

Slushies

Sup my peeps, welcome to gusta today. Hope everybody is doing well. I wanted to talk today about Speedway slushies and how they have impacted the lives of many.

When Christopher Columbus first rode over on the Mayflower to America do you know why he stayed? Speedway slushies! Now, this is a myth, people are debating this on the underground debate circuit in Chinatown but everybody knows it's true. If you have never had a speedway slushie go jump off a cliff. If you are under the age of 15 then you don't have to jump but, if you are over 15 definitely jump because if you have wasted that much time not drinking speedway slushies, what have you lived for? (this is from a worldly stand point, live for God, not slushies...........or both?)

(searched on google "cliff" the guy jumping off was just icing on the cake)

Speedway slushies are the best refreshment after.....well, anything. Long day at work, lawn work, playing sports, just got out of a messy divorce...drink a speedway slushie! The original flavors are Mountain Dew, Coke-A-Cola, and Fanta cherry. Now, there is always 4 flavors you can choose from, but the 4th flavor is always changing. We first started drinking these cups full of pure Me Gustfulness the 4th was Fanta Blue and it was awesome. About a year and a half ago they took out blue and out in orange cream :\. It was fine but for sure not as good as Fanta Blue. Not too long after they changed orange cream with Fanta Grape, better than Orange but still not as good as Fanta Blue.

As many of you know I'm on a sabbatical in Arizona right now, I get a call from my brah-in-law telling me it happened.....THEY CHANGED BACK TO BLUE! I was like, ok speedway, ok.....So, this is all to say, speedway finally did something right with the 4th. What is gonna be the first thing I do when I get back to Ohio? Go right past my family trying to hug me, get the keys, get my speedy card, and go to speedway. Sorry family. My top 3 right now is God, breathing, Slushies. In conclusion, live for God, drink slushies on the way. Go get a slushie now for your Gustfulness now. Stay sweet everybody.

"Don't Force it Gust!"

Hello everybody. 4 followers baby! That's what I'm talkin bout. Well, it's been 9 days since my last blog post...I've probably sent most of you into a depression, I can pay for your anti-depressants if you want. (metaphorically of course)

The reason I haven't been writing new posts is because nothing has really been that funny to me lately that is blog worthy, you feel me? If I'm gonna keep writing these I don't want to force the funny on you. Sure, I could could write one each day, but it definitely would not be as funny as it could be. When I'm writing this only one quote comes to mind "Don't force it Gust!" I'm paraphrasing of course.

I hope everybody understands where I'm at in all of this, and if not....wow, wow. So, I don't know when I'm gonna write my next post, maybe tomorrow? Maybe next week? Maybe next year? Not likely for the last one, but you never know. Until next time peeps, stay sweet!

Apolo, Oh no!

Hey ya'll. Hope everybody had a good weekend. As most of you know, the Olympics are on right now. Apolo Ohno broke the record for most winter Olympic game medals this weekend, but he won won it with a bronze medal instead of a gold medal. He has worked 4 years for these games and he knew he was gonna go for this record.

(thought this would be a funny picture)

So, the last race that he needed a medal to get the record. He started off in between to countries (3rd) He passes someone, but then on one of the last turns he gets bumped loses all of his speed and the Korean pair takes the lead. 4 years of training for Apolo and he loses the gold on a bump. Simply, that sucks....the un-gust if you will. You could see the disappointment on his face after the race in the interview, knowing that he had the race in the bag up until the bump.

In another sporting event this weekend, I was watching a college basketball game Vanderbelt (19) vs Kentucky (2). It came down to Vanderbelt's last chance to tie the game, perfect pass down the court to their big man, he puts up the shot and in my mind im thinking to myself "He made it! It's going to overtime!" Unfortunately, that was not the case and 2 Kentucky gets the W. The sad thing is he will remember that moment for the rest of his life, the moment where he could have sent the game into overtime for his team, possibly pull-off the upset, a moment any athlete dreams of his whole life. Granted, it was just to tie, but still.

2 sporting events, 2 chances, 2 atheletes that royally blew it, 2 un-gustful moments. So, what's the moral of this story? No clue, I thought it was cool to see though right? For Ohno he has to wait 4 years! Until he gets that chance again...nothing else to say about that, but its a long time. Next time you are in a situation like these 2 men were in don't choke, for my sake...even though I will laugh if you do. Until, next time. Stay sweet!
