Sharing

It's Sunday and I feel good, spiritually. How to describe being in such state eludes me and I really don't know. It is a spiritual thing. But since I was in church today and did the Christian thing, plus the fact that that I behaved for the whole week, I should be entitled to this feeling of being spiritually good inside. I think.

But I just feel good. Good, because that's how one should feel on a hot, lazy Sunday such as today. Also, because Sunday is designated by Allah or Yahweh or Jah or Elohai to be a day of rest. And you must agree that taking time to rest is always good.

And because it is Sunday today, it is also good to share things with other people and I would like to share a little something with you. Sharing, as you know, is also always a good thing.

This is something I got in my email box a couple of weeks back. And this one reads...

"...In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas.

The Bible says - 'The Lord thy God is one'...but I think He must be a lot older than that. Anyway, God said, 'Give me a light!' And someone did.

Then God made the world. He split Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented yet. And then Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden...not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn't have cars.

Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel. Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something. One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a Ham.

Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain check. After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some stupid pot roast.

Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat. He tried to start a fashion statement but that didn't work.

Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable.

God fed the Israel Lights every day with some kind of pasta. Then he gave them His Top Ten Commandments. These include - don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your neighbor's stuff. And oh, yeah, I just thought of one more - Humor thy father and thy mother.

One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua who was the first Bible guy to use spies. How cool is that? And Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the town.

After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn't sound very wise to me.

After Solomon, there were a bunch of big time prophets. One of these was this dude called Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the shore. There were also some small time prophets, but I guess we don't have to worry about them.

After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the star of The New. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn. And I wish I had been born in a barn too, because my mom is always saying to me, 'Close the door! Were you born in a barn?'

It would be nice to say, 'As a matter of fact, I was.'

During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees and the guys from the opposition party. Jesus also had twelve opossums. The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible vegetable after him.

Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount. But the Pharisees and guys from the opposition parties put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead.

Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again. He went up to heaven but will be back at the end of the aluminum and His return is foretold in the book of Revolution..."

This story, I think is a good story.

Time Out

Time now is 9:37 in the PM.

I feel the urge and I ask myself if I should. But I did what I had to do today and I'm happy. Nothing much. The usual shit.

And now, I need to reward myself.

The plus side about living this life the way I do is how I always remember to take time out and stop whatever shit I'm doing and devote my attention to something more important.

Like sitting at the bar drinking a few cold beers.

And so, I will go.

In Cervesio Felisitas.

Good night.

Pening

The time tells me it's 3:17 in the PM and that evil pounding on the lining of my cerebral cortex is still there. When I looked in the mirror this morning, I saw a vein pulsing in my forehead.

A good buddy from up north was in town last night and he professes to be a fine purveyor of single malt. And so, over dinner of three kinds of different exotic fish whose names I fail to register we had a bottle of Brooch-lagh-dickeh. Or something like that. And a few big cats on the side.

I'm much better from just now but not out of it yet. I really must remind myself not to mix good malt with equally good hop.

I've been sitting here, behind my desk since this am and its quiet in the office. And just for the record, I have not done anything worth calling work since I walked in. The pounding in my head...its critical. And I've been thinking.

Remember when you were in uni and you just knew where you'd be by the time you hit 30? I knew I would have slept with at least 20 women. Virgins and the rest of them. I knew I'd be working in some big ass corporation or something. Donning a suit and all that shit. I also knew I'd be making loads of money and driving a sports car. I knew I'd be traveling the world. I knew I'd have accomplished enough to be interesting.

But here I am and thinking, what the flying fuck happened? I mean, like what da farrrrkkkkk!!!

Here I am, finding myself closer to 40 than 30, and I'm feeling just a teeny weeny bit disconcerted. I'm not some big time corporate figure or some shit like that, don't earn millions, don't think I slept with that many women and the rides I've purchased over the years are all pre loved stuff.

What do people do when they need to shake things up a bit?

Just Crazy

I've just gone through a few months of craziness and no matter how you define it, it is still crazy. What with the passing of two love ones last February and that was one crazy episode.

Times like these, I would typically long for the return of normalcy. Tonight, however, I sit here exhausted. Both physically and mentally, but I'm cool. Despite this sense of being completely spent, I know I have no desire to have things fully return to their previous state. I've already encountered many moments of truth in the past few months and especially the past few weeks.

Sometimes life gets crazy. Other times, its gets really fucking crazy. I've experienced crazy in many forms and the annoying part is, I feel so sure I'm going to continue down this winding path of weird and wild events.

I think I might be one of those people for whom life is destined to be a super crazy ride. I guess I'll just have to learn to enjoy the scenery.

Good night.

Fools

I didn't know until just now that in some part of the world this day is made a holiday. April Fools holiday, man. Can you believe this shit? A fucking holiday. I think this day is possibly the most irritating day of the entire year because I hate practical jokes and having a day designated just for this day is fucking cruel. Getting high duping someone and making that someone feel foolish is not just stupid, it's also not funny. Okay, so I hate this day and I am a gullible person. Don't like? Go fuck something then.

This day is just so pointless I feel there is no point to even talk about this day. I mean, why? and why must some people be stupid on just this day? And some even pretend so fucking hard while at it.

Valentines day, I really try to understand and I do have a raging hatred for it but April fool's day? What the fuck is the deal on this one? Whats the concept?

And what kind of demon thought of this dumb day anyway?
