Happy Holidays My Ass!
Here's how my xmas went - I find out my grandmother is having a family party this Saturday, my aunt and uncle will be there, both my sisters and my brother - the only one who isn't invited is me. I could hear my mother inviting my sister to this thing and my brother had already told me about it. But apparently, my grandmother didn't want to have a huge party so I got left out, yet again, the oldest, unmarried daughter - she's not important. The same thing happened for her 85th birthday party in August, only then my family decided for me that I didn't have enough money to make the long 45 minute drive to where it was being held. Why do I even bother with my family anymore? Other holiday highlights: Seeing my other uncle and his wife and their kids, who I hadn't spoken to in over a year (they have feuded with me, my sister, my brother and my parents at some point). They were both very friendly and I took a quick drive over to their place to see their new lakefront house, etc. So that feud is over, which was actually a big relief. Taking a huge sip of the home-made red wine my dad bought 24 bottles of from The Knights of Columbus and noticing, too late of course, that it reeked of vinegar. The best part is that my dad doesn't drink much so he saves the wine for when us kids visit. Oh joy! Escaping the zoo that was my parent's house on xmas night and going over to my Aunt Carrie's to drink wine and smoke drugs. I think I was hallucinating at one point... My mother telling all of us: "Let's really enjoy christmas because it's probably the last peaceful one we'll have in years." I shuddered when she said it. And a Happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear" John Lennon & Yoko Ono
Elryano asks the age-old question that's so popular at this time of year...
I don't know if anyone has talked about this yet or not, but an environment group is using Jesus to try to get people to stop buying SUV's and other polluting vehicles. The slogan is WWJD? What Would Jesus DRIVE.  I'm still not sure what I think of that.
First off do you really think if Jesus comes back that he really will be buying a car? Much less driving it himself? Hell no, I think he will be in a limo. In the back, legs stretched out. And what about the people who don't believe in Jesus? Isn't it bad when an advertising campaign is done that excludes whole groups of people? Or do they plan on switching it up, depending on the area they are in, like WWJD, What Would Jews Drive? I'm not sure what they would myself, but I got to figure it wont be German made. I will say though,that this campaign has made me think about what it would be like to go on a road trip with Jesus: ME: "Hey Jesus, we better stop, we're on empty!" Jesus: *Smiling* No we're not, look again." Me: "It's full,you just turned water into unleaded!" Jesus: "Do you still doubt me? Do you still doubt that I can get this car to San Francisco on one tank of gas?" Me: "Jesus,should we stop for food?" Jesus: "No, I got these two fishes and five loaves, we'll be fine." So then you have to ask yourself,if these people can get away with using Jesus to sell their beliefs or promote their product, what to stop other companies from using Jesus in their ads? Like for instance: "Just do it...Jesus." "With a name like Jesus, it's got to be good!" "Please don't squeeze the Jesus." Now, don't get mad at me I don't think that going too far, because really, do you want people squeezing your savior? And you know they will, I mean one touch from the hem of his robe could cure you, plus he's just so damn huggable.
