Currently Listening
Like Sheep Led to Slaughter

An awful morning on xanga followed by an awful day at work.  They asked me at the last minute to work a meeting tonight.  Again.  Third night in a row. 

I'm just venting....that's not what I intended to blog about.

I'm just totally amused at all the hoopla over The DaVinci Code.  Why everyone is getting so up in arms over a simple novel (read: FICTION, people!!) and a movie based on it, is beyond me.

I've certainly read other much more controversial novels questioning the beliefs of Christianity.  But they neglected to receive the media attention and idiotic falderal that has centered itself around this one.

But perhaps all this controversy is by design.  The bigger the uproar you can cause, the more books you can sell, the more tickets when it finally opens in theatres.  People who ordinarily wouldn't give it a second glance will probably throng (if they haven't already) to bookstores and theatres just to see what all the fuss is about.  Marketing genius.  Baaaaaa.....baaaaaa....

And then there's Jimmy Hoffa.  Let's spend more tax dollars on that.  I guess the FBI doesn't have any real concerns in the modern day world, so they're off digging up a farm in Michigan to see if they can find the remains of a man who has been dead over 30 years.....like if they do or don't find what they're looking for will make a difference.  He'll still be dead.

Baaaaaa....baaaaaa.... we're all just sheep.

Happy blogging.

Seems we've got to have a scandal to carry on about, doesn't it?  I'll be seeing DaVinci Code, even though I hear the early reviews aren't great.  Too bad, I'm a fan of both Ron Howard and Tom Hanks.  Maybe it should have stopped with the book, leaving well enough alone?  It's bound to make a fortune, though.

I agree with you on all points.    It is a book, it is not the first time there has been "rumors".  The Catholic Church interprets and determines what their followers will and will not do....they have done it for eons..so why couldn't some of this be true?  After all, they lied for years about the child abuse.

As for Hoffa, like you, I say  WHO CARES??  Probably whoever killed him is dead anyway and he isn't going to come back with a way to save the world anyhow...

At least we are not hearing all about Tom and Kate and their baby and whether or not Jolie and Pitt are getting married, where the baby will be born, what it's name will be, etc etc etc.

unfortunately, my parents put me in a Catholic school for grades 1 through 8 -- you are not supposed to think for yourself or use your imagination... probably one of the reasons i'm rebellious... RYC: restless is a good R word -- been feeling that way, too -- rainy weather doesn't help... hope you have a relaxing weekend after all the extra work time...

Two different columnists in our local papers wrote about DaVinci this past week.  One said it well:  chill out.  Another stated how Brown is laughing all the way to the bank.

I went to the website for the bookclub I'm in today.  They have the book on sale this week lol.  And then it "recommended" about 5 other books all along the same lines.  None of which I'd heard of, but all had been written prior to 2004.

Go figure.

I know this will surprise you, but I'm planning to see the movie even though the church says I shouldn't.  I'll say an extra Hail Mary later.

Maybe Jimmy Hoffa is in Al Capone's vault ?
