Its Like A Free Ride, When Youve Already Paid

In this post Big Um states that Christians are "condescending, egotistical, self righteous bastards who would rather impart their doctrine on others than live be their own self professed creed." Hmmm. I didnt know Christians and former Hells Pizza area managers had so much in common.

I know a boy named Slayer. Slayer isnt the smartest person Ive ever met but he has a good heart. He was raised in a Christian home and never knew anything else. He has very strong convictions about his beliefs even though hes not smart enough to back them up. He is one of the best examples of blind faith that I can point to in my life.

I used to work with Big Um and Slayer. If Christianity would ever come up, even in the slightest Big Um would get very defensive. For him the best defense is to be loud and offensive. He would talk about the inconsistencies in the Bible, "disprove" miracles and do whatever it took to persecute Slayer for his beliefs. As the discussion progressed into an argument Big Um would just yell louder and fat his way around the kitchen until no one else could be herd. I still dont know what his contempt for Slayers beliefs stems from but it certainly brought out a lot of fear and paranoia.

A side note on historical accuracy. The Bible was not "re-written by a king". I think what this is referring to is the King James Bible. This edition of the Bible was constructed by the Protestant Clergy under the permission of King James. Click here for a detailed time line.

Im Going To Rosedale

You may or may not know that I went to the grocery store last night. If you dont, you can read all about it here. One of the items I picked up was the Reach Access Flosser. This thing is awesome. No more cutting circulation off by wrapping that old shit around your fingers. No more sticking your whole fist in your mouth trying to get those wisdom teeth cleaned. No more wrestling with getting the string to go in the trash when youre done with it. Get one of these bitches!

So Sally Can Wait

I went to the Thrift Acres last night to pick up a couple things my consort forgot to get (or I forgot to ask her to get.) I arrived at about 1:30 am and naturally they were waxing the floors and stocking the isles. On my way to the OJ a woman moved her palette of goodies right in front of it and walked away. No problem, it was still on its wheels so I moved it and got my juice. I got the next 2 items with out much trouble. Oh wait, dont forget the mayo! Shit, theyre waxing infront of the mayo isle and have it taped off. I could go around or I could just duck under the tape. Nobodys here so duck I will. Mayo grabbed. As I return to the tape only 6-4 feet from my cart the wax man confronts me. Hes saying something to me but I dont have a clue what it is. This can be attributed to the fact that I don’t hear so well anymore, his heavy accent and my lack of concern for what hes saying. After he repeats himself about 10 times I say OK and duck under the tape again and go to my cart. I go pick up the last thing on the list and head to the checkout.

Its 1:45 at this time and of course theres only 1 check out lane open. Fortunately theres only one person in line and it appears that most of her items have been scanned. The casher finished bagging the rest of her cloths. (Yes the woman is doing her wardrobe shopping at 1:30 at the supermarket.) What happens next is amazing. The casher realizes that for the last 5 minutes he hasnt scanned anything that hes put into a bag. WTF? I thought it was a little funny that there was no beeping and everything was just being put into bags but I assumed that he had scanned one item and multiplied it. Fuck me. Everything comes back out and gets scanned. Then the lady decides she wants to pay with a check. Youve got to be kidding me. Who pays for groceries with a check in this day and age. I havent written a check at a business in years. I dont think you can get a checking account without an accompanying debit/credit card anymore and its so much faster to use the card. I seriously almost kicked the womans cart over and set her check book on fire.

Everybody Has A Ghost

I just remembered that today is my fathers birthday. FUCK YOU!

The Great Commission

The worst thing about being a waitress is that you have to be nice. You HAVE TO. Well I almost went off on a customer Saturday night. What could cause a mild mannered individual like me to be filled with rage nearly to the point of no return? (No return to my job because they would fire my ass that is.) Well let me tell you…

Im assuming all of you know what Christians are. Most of you know them, some of you are them. 1 or 2 of us are married to them. Generally speaking they are a good group of people. In my opinion they only have 2 major flaws. 1: Many of them are hypocrites. 2: They feel obligated to indoctrinate everyone they meet. Yes I know these are generalizations and dont fit everyone in the group. What were going to be looking at here is #2.

I was waiting on a table Saturday night. We were getting along smashingly. The husband kept making jokes at my expense (Can I get you anything else? Yeah, how about a winning lottery ticket? Or how about this one… How does everything taste tonight? Horrible! … Oh really? What seems to be the problem? … Im just kidding! Heh heh heh.) and I kept hitting on his wife. When they seemed to be done I brought the bill out and explained that I could take it up whenever they were ready. (We didnt order the bill! Heh heh heh.) Later I came back and he was getting the money together so I asked if he was ready for me to take it up. He told me that it was all set and handed me the money. Whats this? It appears that I have been solicited. The money is neatly slipped into a pamphlet that has a picture of a Hummer on it. Who in their right mind would ever think a waitress could afford a Hummer. (Especially if they only tip 8%. GRRRR) Oh wait! This whole thing is just telling me how Im a sinner and going to hell. FUCK YOU! Who the hell do you think you are. Im not going to hell. Maybe in your world of judging and hypocrisy I am but I know Ill be with god when my days are done. Fuming I walked back to the table. Fortunately I had a moment of clarity just as I approached it and simply grabbed some dirty dishes. Whats worse is this isnt the first time this has happened and I know it wont be the last.

In My Time Of Dying

During the last few days I watched Man on Fire, played more Final Fantasy II and went to see Little Shop of Horrors. St Marys 7 summed up LSoH pretty well so Im not going to bore you with that. Man on Fire was good. Its nothing amazing but definitely worth watching. Watch it.

What I really want to write about though is Final Fantasy II. This is probably my favorite FF game of all time. The reason its so awesome is you get to determine how your characters level up. Rather than just getting experience and certain characters excel at certain things you choose what theyre good at. Some people might not like this but thats because theyre stupid and incapable of thinking.
