Went to the West End for lunch and ate me some spicy wings. They weren't too terrible. I did have the waitress bag them up so I could take them home and devour them fat ass style. Just couldn't allow myself to slobber all over the table.
Read the Village Voice and found some possible theater outlets. MMMMM...actually only found 2, but that is two more than before lunch. Again actually...one of them I already knew about, but the that still leaves me with 1 outlet!
YAY OUTLET!
What to watch on tv tonight. My choices are the following:
1) Predator 2. (wish it was the first one, but can't complain as there is not much to watch anyway)
2) The Bachelor (otherwise known as "The show of garbage")
3) Amazing Race 3
Most likely will watch the "Amazing Race" since it provides the least amount of mental commitment. 10pm is South Park and lately I have been loving it. 10:30pm, MTV debuts a new show about real life crimebusters.
What type of crimes you say?
Oh, well you know...the crime of cheating on your girlfriend. The cameras then follow this "evil-doer" and busts him on National Television.
Wow. Looks like I am going to be up really late tonight watching trash on tv. GO ME!
I got a wonderful email today from one of my readers.
Here is what it said:
"Hi Joe,
Did I see an answer to prayer in today's post? I hope you find a peace in the center that let's you make all the changes.
(Insert Reader's Name)
PS. I'm a pastor. But I read blogs after work. And I suppose that I read yours because you're the age of my sons and you write so darn well that even when you're in the depths of despair, you describe it well.
And I truly hope you find God faithful."
Beautiful, right?
I wish all of my readers could have such class and insight. I truly enjoy each email I get from this reader.
Thank you to (insert name here) from the bottom of my heart.
I will definitly hold onto my belief in God and Jesus. They are there for me whether I conciously realize it or not.
Rita said something very insightful the other night concerning the whole sprituatlity struggle I am having.
She said: "Praying to God is not like a genie in a bottle. You can't rub it and expect your prayers to be answered like wishes."
Well, that is mostly what she said, if not verbatim.
She is right. I expect God to pick up the phone and tell me exactly what to do. In the past I have had such strong responses from God that I almost feel as though he is a genie in a lamp. I need to realize that this is clearly not the way that this thing works.
If all else fails, I could probably start fasting for a couple of days. Delirium tends to bring on some major God induced clarity.
I will wait to see if my new ideas pan out or not before I go to that level.
Alright enough.
The wings in my stomach are starting to flutter.
Looks as though I will be going on a mini-vacation.
To the bathroom that is.
PEACE!
