Political Pandemonium:

For those of you that live in the states and have turned on the news at least once, you have probably heard about this race for governor in California. Everyone and their brother are running for governor! Everyone from Arnold Swartzeneger to Gary Coleman to some kids that raised $1000 and a signed petition.

This is a mockery of our system! I’m not saying that these people don’t have the right to run for a political seat in a state, but if people are getting votes based off of the millions of dollars that they have and their catch phrases. Frankly, I wouldn’t want to hear a state of the union address with either “Whatchu talkin about Willis?” or “I’ll be back.”

These are just two people on the ballet. There are others and grand, I’m not a California resident, nor have I have stepped foot that west, but considering that I am a resident of the United States, it troubles me that politics in one of our states are making a mockery of the system.

Misplaced Malice:

As I was in the process of writing folders today, I found a folder that I never expected to run into. This folder belonged to my very first (out of two) ex-girlfriend. If you know me well, you’ve heard of this horror story. If not, the basic run down is this: friends for 7 years, dated 2 and a half month, she left me for a guy we worked with, and blamed me for everything that went wrong and things that I never was a part of.

One would expect that I would hold mounds of bitterness and anger with some thoughts of revenge. However, that is not the case. I hold nothing. the wrongs have been forgiven and mostly forgotten. I say mostly forgotten because of trust issues. Yes, I have forgiven her and hold nothing any more.

It’s funny how different thought will come into your mind when stuff like this comes up. Like when I found that folder. Most worldly people might find a way to misplace or whatever for revenge, but like I said, I did nothing. Though one sense of irony...the films I had to check were of her brain.....(are you sensing the irony yet?)

I always wanted to know what was going on in that head of hers.

Therapists say that it is good to talk about their feelings, I choose to publish mine.

May I Be Deadbeat?:

Again, the toils of a “responsible adult” life have gotten to me. More stuff involving vehicles. My Service Engine Soon light kept coming on and so we took it to the local Chevy dealer to work on and found out that there was a rat’s nest in my air filter! Of all the stupid, confounded things to have to pay $50 for.

Not only did that cost, but they also told us that there were about $1100 worth of repairs to the van. GRRRR! I was so frustrated that I told my parents that I just felt like quitting everything and live in the basement and eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and crap myself to death.

ARGH!


CWCbay:

My church, Christ Wesleyan Church, has this thing in the buttenin once a month called “Talents and Treasures”. It is a place where people can sell stuff or offer their services. This past Sunday, Ryan and I came up with ads that you’d never see in the ads:

For Sale: 2k3, titanium frame, steel reenforced, wheelchair with voice recognition safety lock. Optional side car for handy “wheel-by” shootings. Once owned by The Steel Wheelers. Call 555-CNLX or go to the back of Kramms, knock 3 times, bark once, and kick the dumpster... then ask for Leroy.

For Sale or Rent to Own: C-N1Le Gangers’, Smith and Westend, Kramms edition Micro Uzi. Full clips carry 40 rounds. Great for one armed wheeling and puncturing oxygen tanks. Call Kramms Southside and ask for Happy at the nurses’ station.

(For those wondering, Kramms is a local nursing home. These ads were spawned by Ryan’s comment, “Wouldn’t it be funny to see someone in a wheel chair up on blocks”)

Free to a Good Home: My 86 year old mother. Has shots and is spayed. Tends to chew on table legs, but doesn’t eat much. Comes with medical records and HMO. She has her own porta-potty and sleeps alot. If interested call 555-5555.

Wanted: $300. I spent all my money on booze, and now can’t afford to eat. Also need an extra $150 to pay off my dealer. Extra donations are welcome.

Interested in Ministry: Andrew or Stephen ministries just don’t seem right? Barnabas ministry just not your thing? Try looking into our newest ministry: Judas Ministry! We’ll walk along side you, become your disciples and then sell information about you to government officials, ultimately leading to your demise. Call CWC offices. Join Today! (But if we kiss you, watch out!)

For Sale or Rent to Own: One pair of 1984 Special Edition Fruit of a Loom Briefs. Comes with worn elastic waist and racing stripes. Passed on to me by my Grandfather. Will best fit a 40 waist, but still makes a great collector’s item. If interested, call Steve at 555-5555

Singles Ministry: Tired of meaningless weekends? Well, join us on September 15th in Africa. We’ll be offering ourselves as living sacrifices to pagan gods! Sure, it’s sacrilegious, but hey, it beats doing nothing! If interested, meet us at the Harrisburg Airport at the abandon terminal in the back. Knock 3 times, cough, and ask for “Big Jim”

For Sale or Rent to Own: Vintage Toga! That’s right, you too can get down like Caesar! Be the Brutus of the bash at this year’s “Roman Party”. Complete with hidden dagger of deception! (Edge sold separately)

Singer Wanted: Tired of seeing ads for future divas and hopeful rockers? Now you can be one! Who cares if 30 slaughtered cattle sound better than you can sing. With the all new Vinnie’s Vocalization program you can cut your own CD, faster than you can cut the mustard!

Off Guard and Strange Questions:

Ok, so I’m not at work today. That is because I am at Geisinger Hospital in Wilkes Barre (2 hours north). I have to get my wisdom teeth assessed and see if I can get an appointment to get them out over Christmas break....yay.

While we were in the process of checking in, they asked me if I had a religion preference. I was excessively confused. I wasn’t aware that was a medical issue. I mean sure, if I was planning on sacrificing myself to some pagan god, it might be nice to have a physical to make sure the sacrifice was good. Sorry, poor choice of jokes.

I guess I’m kind of in a crappy mood right now because Mom wants me to get my wisdom teeth out now and I have too much to worry about to do it now. With work and packing and all the other crap and nonsense that is going on, I can’t do it. Aside from that, I paid for tickets for Purple Door in a week and a half, so that is an immediate stop to the idea.
