Can't Remember?

If you have a problem remembering what day you are to celebrate the Transfiguration of Christ...

Where he went up on the mount with two disciples, and heard from Moses and Elijah. Where he was told he would go to Jerusalem and in a nonviolent way die for God's creation. Where God told the disciples to listen to his son. Where we are told to follow and not fear.

...well it is the same day America celebrates being the only country to drop an atomic bomb on another country.

I Need More Real Laughter

I went to a funeral yesterday. I know this is a horrible thought, but I think I like christian funerals (I hate christian as an adjective. Sorry.) better than weddings. Weddings are always so planned, formal, and mostly boring. (Plus an extravagant waste of money.) I mean most people, including the bride and groom, have to get drunk to have fun. If there isn't some type of alcohol at a wedding people can't seem to leave fast enough. By the end of non-alcoholic weddings the bride and groom usually have to take turns throwing rice or blowing bubbles on each other. Outside of not seeing your friend or loved one until the after life, which is horribly unfair and painful, funerals are much more enjoyable. People celebrate a life well lived. People share stories. We laugh together, cry together and if we are lucky maybe learn to love each other just a little more. No one rushes out. No one checks their watches. No one gets to many hugs. No one hurts enough, or laughs enough and no one feels guilty for doing either one. There was alot of Jesus talk yesterday, but the guy's spirituality was not what hit me the most. I was really overwhelmed by his apparent love for life. I didn't really know they guy, but I came away with a sense of having lost a chance to have been really loved. I hope I never let my fears of intimacy cause me to miss out on life and love again. I plan to take a look around and see who seems to be really enjoying the here and now, and get to know them.

At Least Ask For A Bath

Notice I put this under romance, because I don't know how it gets more romantic than this.

I was listening to the Kiss FM, here in OKC, afternoon show when the topic of bad dates came up. This guy calls up, and says he took a blind date out to eat sea food. She had 2 or 3 beers while eating crab. (Which I am not sure why you'd do beer with crab. It seems more of a white wine thing.) I guess the young lady has issues holding her drinky drinks. The guy relates that driving her home, and few sharp corners, was all it took to make her puke. She by the way choose to turn and puke on him. This is the romantic part...

Young Lady: "I guess we can have sex to make up for that if you want."

Although I have seen Springer episodes were people get turned on by being puked on, this guy wasn't one of them. He took her home.

Which leaves me wondering, what is the proper response, and actions, that make up for puking on someone?

Song: Hooked on a Feeling Lyrics

Ouga Chaka ouga! ....

I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me.
Girl, you just don't realize
What you do to me.
When you hold me
In your arms so tight,
You let me know,
Everythings alright, ahahah

I'm hooked on a feeling,
I'm high on believing,
That your in love with me.

Lips as sweet as candy.
Their taste stays on my mind.
Girl, you keep me thirsty for another cup of wine.

I got it bad for you girl,
But I don't need a cure,
I'll just stay addicted, If I can endure
All the good love, when we're all alone
Keep it up girl, yeah you turn me on.

I'mmm, I'mmm Hooked on a feeling.
I'm high on believing that your in love with me.
All the good love, when we're all alone
Keep it up girl, yeah you turn me on.

Ahaha I'm hooked on a feeling,
I'm high on believing,
That your in love with me.

I'm hooked on a feeling,
I'm high on believing,
That your in love with me.

I say I'm hooked on a feeling,
And I'm high on believing,
That your in love with me.
I'm hooked on a feeling.
