To Cool in the Peppermint Wind.
I saw a sign the other day. I was at the bus stop. There's a park right next to where we all wait, me and Max and Steven and Lara and Gen and Jordan, and the occasional guest. So the park is there in all of its pukey-green-from-being-under-the-snow-for-eternity glory, and there's a sidewalk that goes right up until the mushy half-grass-half-some-sort-of-disgusting-looking-soup starts, and standing erect from the ground on a slight angle, there it is, the sign. Hallelujah. It wasn't a sign from some all mighty being though. No, it was a street sign. On it was written "Sidewalk ends here." Does someone understand why on earth you would need a sign to indicate where the sidewalk ends? I think it's pretty clear where the sidewalk ends, it has something to do with the place where there isn't any more cement.

It's the same way with the labels on hair dryers that tell you to not use it in the bathtub. Common sense must skip generations.
ryc: I sing in the church choir and play in the church handbell choir. You see, my family is very involved with the church... my mother was a bigwig in the board of deacons, and my father teaches Sunday school for 11th and 12th grade kids. I started going when I was six, but about two years ago I really started questioning religion and what own beliefs and stopped going, save to sing and ring.
Am I a Christian? I guess. Not a very good one, anyways. Certain things always bothered me about the religion of Christianity and thus my views are slightly bizarre. Do I believe in God? Sure, or something like a divine being outside time and space. Whatever you what to call him/her/it really. Do I believe in Hell? No. Assuming that this being is as the Christian religion puts it, "all merciful" he'd never damn anyone to a place of eternal suffering, right? My church is all about Hell. I also believe in reincarnation. This has gotten me kicked out before. Actually, the whole Buddhist karma - dharma relationship makes sense to me. Am I a Buddhist? I've never been to a monastery, but I've done a lot of reading. My church also doesn't like gay people and has "asked" them to leave before. Personally, I'm not gay, but I have a few friends who are and I can't see why they shouldn't be allowed to worship.
I'd like to think of myself as mildly spiritual. Not necessarily any denomination in particular considering the hybrid nature of my current sentiments, but something, I guess. My apologies for being confusing... I haven't found a good way to explain it on my blog.
Ryc part 2: Maybe it's a cure for insomniacs.
whoa, settle down. its all opinions. and i said 'sure, some of its okay', did i not? it doesnt mean i dont like all of it. i just dont like a lot of it and COULD live without it. its a lot of the 'blast from the past' kinda stuff that i like now. jazz and everything related to it... basically everything that comes up in jazz band. Vehicle's a rock song, but i like it anyways somehow... cant blame me for my uncontrolled opinion, now can you?
