| November 5, 2003 stuff • Two words that I just realized are really cool are “referendum” and “guacamole”. Say those words out loud and you’ll be like “they are so cool to say!” • Keith you can’t tell me what to do with my own body. It’s might right whether I want to have an abortion or not! Of course you have the right to murder. Heck if I wanted to go down to Walmart, pick up a Magnum, and Grand Theft Auto-style my local food mart I could and nobody could stop me until after the murder took place. Abortion isn’t murder! Ok, prove it to yourself then if it isn’t murder. Don’t feel it to yourself, prove it to yourself....then come back and talk to me about your feelings and afterwards you can tell your own heart about its rights. • What’s up with these early 20-something “look how holy I am”s out there? They get married at the impossibly immature and ignorant ages of 19,20,21,22.... and they think they’re some super person because they’ve waited “so long” to have sex. Talk about novices. Try batting in the big leagues junior cause you took the easy way out of the human condition. You don’t get no props for succumbing to immaturity, which is almost as bad as succumbing to peer pressure and natural inhibitions. No it wasn’t God, it was your insecure immaturity (I’m not afraid to be audaciously blunt either ya know). I’m tired of it. Do older virgins deserve props then Keith? Heck no! Nobody gets props for something God’s grace can only mastermind. But please don’t be writing books or giving talks on the “hardships” of remaining “pure” at the wisdom-strapped ages of 17,18,19. Get a clue newbies. And yes, some people do endure more than others, and young marrieds didn’t have to endure very much let me tell you. The easy way out is to get married just like Paul said. As for me, taking the path less traveled....for now. Sure I’m jealous that these younger people get to have guilt-free sex and I don’t. But I’m also jealous that Frankie Muniz (of Malcom in the Middle fame) has like 8 souped up cars worth over $1 million and I don’t, so what’s your point? It still doesn’t justify their unwarranted esteem and other stupid people giving them props. • It’s the simple things in life that make me happy. I’ve realize there’s little complicated stuff that has made me happy. I’m more jumpy about the latest Playstation 2 releases or the next episode of The O.C. than I am about scientific discoveries or spiritual revelations. Although the latter are good and important and all, they’re usually more sobering and humbling. If the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics has taught us anything, it's taught us that life is all about balance, about equilibrium. Mix some good with some bad and whaddya get? Life. • I think birthdays are hardest when you’re away from home during them. • You gotta die of some health malfunction. Why do some people think they can “prevent” this from happening? News Flash! You are going to die someday (aka not-living). Just make sure you’re ready to meet your maker. Get it right with Him now, this very moment yo! • Let’s end the thoughts on a happy note! -Fast BMW’s -Cool BMW’s -Video games and arcade machines on salt water smelling boardwalks -mmmmmm....funnel cakes..... -The first slice of delivery pizza -.mmmmmm...cheese fries.... -The O.C.!!! -Changing the channel to come back just in time to the show you were watching but that went to a commercial break a couple minutes ago. -Fat, chuckling babies at about 8 months that let you kiss them up for as long as you want to! -The Sound of Music (um....how’d that get in there...must be the “Wonderful Things” song...) -Parallel parking perfectly (say that 6 times fast) -Putting your hand into the pocket of your pants that you haven’t worn for three months only to find a ten dollar bill -Looking in the rear view mirror to see you didn’t run over the squirrel as it scurries off to the side of the road. -When someone gives you that “look” and gives you no ability to resist smiling back at them. -When your friend’s dog decides to jump all over your other friend instead of you before the owner settles it down. -Seeing a movie with someone else that has the same tastes as you. -When the police car with sirens a-blazin passes by you and nabs the guy 4 cars ahead. -When you open the refrigerator after coming home from a very long day at work/school. -Campbell’s Chunky New England Clam Chowder -Dungeness crabs served outside on a nice warm summer night at Joe’s Crab Shack in Sterling, VA. -The moment you don’t have to wake up on a Saturday morning. -When a girl calls you “hun”. -Finishing off a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Chip Cookie dough ice cream -80’s music -Japanese animated cartoons with cool poses -Red BMW’s that say M3 on the back -Lazy Sunday afternoons -When you look at your watch and realize your not late but 5 minutes early actually. -Writing lists of random things that make you happy. |
