What the Fuck Does God Want?

[Moetown]

In the three major religions, it comes down to God saying, "You do this for me, I'll do this for you. You don't do this for me, and I'll fuck you up but good."

And why does God have to send 10 plagues down on Egypt? Being God, wouldn't It know that the first nine weren't gonna do the trick? Why not just stike down all the Egyptians and hand the whole place over to the Jews?

And furthermore, what was God jealous of? It could only be other Gods. When the story of the torah was supposedly taking place, The Jews weren't monotheistic. They end up worshipping other Gods all time.

Anything horrible that happens to us, it's because we've displeased God. Anything good that happens is because God is pleased. I have students in my classes that believe that now.

Actually, maybe I'd better stop here. I just remembered it's Yom Kippur.

Started drinking before 10:00 this morning, and it has nothing to do with our president...or Yom Kippur.

So, what are the rest of you doing today?

[Moetown]

I'm absolutely bonkers right now.  

Not "check myself into the ward" bonkers, but definitely leaning towards "not stable."

Not stable - unable to house horses.

[Moetown]

It must be job related.


It must be nice to be able to believe that by partaking in some sort of ritual or confession, you're automatically exonerated of all the bad shit you've ever done.

Someone left a pack of Marlboro Reds here, so I'm smokin' 'em. Marlboro Reds.

[Moetown]

So whaddaya think - Su-shi guy, yea or nay?

[Moetown]

He said "hey." That was not one of the choices.  

[Moetown]

B-b-b-burn the skin off and climb the roof top
Thy will be done
B-b-bite the nose off and make it the most of
Your king-kingdom kingdom kingdom

One of my best friends is a finalist in an Apartments.com contest called "Possession Obsession" where the prize is $20000. Basically, it's people voting over which person/video describing a collecting habit they like best. It's my pal Brenda and her awesome collection of vintage pinup art versus an insane dumpster diver girl and a fat guy whose bedroom in his mom's house has a bunch of chintzy Halloween crap.

Right now, Brenda's neck and neck with the garbage lovin' lady.

If you feel inclined to vote pinup over hobo, you can go here:

Thank you. That is all for today.

In honor of Moe's slackness i'm popping open a beer.. at 2:23pm.

This fucking wedding starts at SEVEN and its a CATHOLIC wedding and I don't really even know these people very well. So I'm gonna get drunk.

Upside;  our friend Jenn is in town (bridesmaid) and she's hella fun. We stayed up til almost 4 roasting shrimp.

I'm not up on my theology but wasn't there some theory or belief or whatever somewhere that said that 'our' God (the christian god, which is essentially the same god that jews and muslims worship)  is a trickster god? And that actually it's very important NOT to worship him...?

Where did I hear that?  probably Scott Taylor.

I like sushi-guy.


as my personal god.

The doctor is on call today, and the art director is out of town...so I have the computer room to myself today! Yay!

(But we have another houseguest on the sofa bed in the living room for two nights, just to add to the chaos.)

Except I'm too too tired....
