We built this entry on the rock of Job...
Oh. Hi. It's you again.
Here I am again, back at the BBQ. I still don't feel like I have much to say. Why? Maybe it's because I'm menstrual, maybe it's because it's cold outside, or maybe it's because the damn bar keeps serving me Fat Tire instead of Sunshine Wheat beer...I'm not sure yet. There's at least 3 other maybes that I could add to that list, but it'd be too whiny, so let's just keep it at that.
I do, as always, have a few small rants to make everybody cringe simultaneously:
No. 1 -->I decided to do some impromptu shopping today...seeing that I still need a present for this wedding that I'm set to attend on Saturday, and, oh yeah...Christmas. So, on my way to Target, there just happened to be a Christian book store that was subtly calling me saying: 'don't forget...you have a mother who loves Jesus, you beer swilling heathen' Yeah. It wasn't that intense, but anyway...I went in. Everything was decently normal...I mean, I figured that I'd be immediately pressured into accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior just by entering this retail outlet, but apparently, that's not the case. Whew. Instead, I was overwhelmed by the ridiculous amount of literature (available for purchase) dedicated to more efficient prayer*, bible study for Dummies, and Bad Girls of the Bible**. Let's just cut to the chase...I got a journal and got out. Case closed.
No. 2 --> Avril Lavigne. I've done my best to ignore this Brittany Spears reject for the past 3 years...even when her clever pop lyrics rhyme 'boy' with 'boy'...but, honestly, her tv commercials featuring footage from her newest hit single have really gotten to me. For some reason, it really chafes me that there's legions of moderately alternative*** student council members who find this chick to be a bad girl of rock.
No. 3 --> Word on the street is that the next Real World is going to take place in Austin. This isn't really a rant, just a statement. There's so much to be said about this that it'll take a whole 'nother post....
...and this has been plenty for tonight.
*there's actually a prayer journal you can buy so you can track your prayers submitted to God and his (and it's always his) answers...oh, and also, so you can make sure you don't repeat prayers twice for any particular person...because that'd just be a waste of time.
**featuring Snoop Dogg of Bethlehem as the narrator.
***high school Stu-Co definition of alternative: individual who sports wacky thrift store t-shirts coupled with plaid pants...possibly also the person who befriends the somewhat mentally challenged boy (seriously! He's actually a really cool guy!). For my slightly more mature readers, this person would be the modern day equivalent of the hardcore Starship fan...because, come on, this band was a part of the psychedelic movement, dork wad.
