Heil Holly!!

This title is of no consequence, at least to this post so please disregard if it isn't immediately amusing, that just means you weren't there.

Right then. There is a candy store near where I work and I walked past it today. Nothing unusual, for sure, but something caught me off gaurd. As I strolled past I couldn't help but take note of the peculiar musical choice that blarred from this house of sweet confections. Yes, none other than "Highway to Hell" by our good friends that are ACDC. The scene was made complete by a very small boy devouring a candied apple nearly the size of his face. I wouldn't doubt that the intense cadance of the song was driving this little man's appearent craving for sugar coated fruit; the apple really never stood a chance. An oddity nevertheless.

For those among you not familiar with the song here are the lyrics to give you an idea of this kid's potential future. Possibly very bleak, definitely very funny:

Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too

I'm on the highway to hell

No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me round
Hey Satan, payin' my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey Momma, look at me
I'm on my way to the promised land

I'm on the highway to hell
(Don't stop me)

And I'm going down, all the way down

I'm on the highway to hell

Since when did the promised land become Hell? I think I missed that chapter in Exodus.....?

LOOKING OUT

I always look both ways before crossing one way streets. ALWAYS. It's strange but I can't seem to shake the habit. I suppose it could have something to do with me usually thinking things will not go as planned, but in whatever case each time I do look left then right then left again. Few things surprise me.

That said, today was a day of unexpected happenings. Be they good, bad, or, ugly each was just as surprising as the next. From possessed teachers to seeing classmates in Starbucks, having to work late again to running into a guy I graduated with who had nothing but nice things to say, it was all so....startling, yeah that's a good word for it.

I think it's safe to assume that this heightened sense of surrealism was greatly increased by the tremendous fever I've had for the past 2 days, but just the same. I'm getting sicker as the days progress and I've been feeling sort of delirious (sp?) so pardon this rambling.

Oh, a question...: hmmm..? If you could ask one person in the world one question who would it be and what would be your question? I want good answers! And don't worry about being terribly meaningful, heck you would ask one of us right here....!

Shuting up now...

I've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'....

So we're back by popular demand and becuase appearently someone here has issues with a one egg laying mammal...

It certainly has been a while, but rest assured I've often thought about sitting down and posting, well at least a couple times. I'm not feeling too inspired, so a recap of some recent happenings is all I can offer.

Last night I watched The Exorcism of Emily Rose. ALONE!!! WHAT KIND OF FRIENDS ARE YOU THAT WOULD EVER ALLOW ME TO DO THAT??? That was a crazy scary movie and I ran around turning all the lights on in my house when it ended. It was pretty good, well done to say the least, but for those of you who've seen it, that scene when the friend wakes up in her bed and she's not there....well the shot after that of her. I just keep replaying it in my head; SO SCARY! AHH, I can't talk about it anymore!!

Moving on, actually there isn't really much to move on too. I bought a new book and started reading it (that's typically the sequence of events) but I shouldn't have because I hadn't finished the other book I was reading. Oh well I always do that.

Hmm, I suppose I will leave you all with a question. If you could do anything what would do? It can't defy the laws of nature, it has to be something you theretically could do.

Oh and that title, c'est pour toi, Ma Belle! Tu es ma "lovin' feelin'"!

Faith as a Straw Full of Water

Being of the doubting variety myself, I expect things to not work out as they seem they are going to. Last night, however, I doubted and, last night, I was reprimanded for it.

Last night I went out to dinner with a "friend". A "friend" whom I've come to expect only innocent things from. This "friend" posed a question and I quickly declined to answer. Though prodded, and pleaded with, I adamantly refused so other measures had to be resorted to.

After one last feeble "come on", violence ensued. The ultimatum was, "answer the question or I'm going to spit water all over you!" This was followed by a picking up of the straw, filling it with water, and aiming.

Having heard no such threat for perhaps the last 9 years of my life, and never having seen it carried out I chucked and said again, "no".

She smiled and insured me of my fate once more if I remained stubborn. My ironic last words were, "NO! And there isn't even water in that." Last night, I doubted; last night, I was drenched.

Sitting in this not-so-low-scale restaurant with now a not-so-dry-shirt I did all I could do, laugh. Apparently she really wanted to know.

Moral of the Story: If faith as a mustard seed hasn't resulted in me after this occurrence, faith as a straw full of water certainly has!
