In response to “In response to the recent depth”

Posted by in Religion

I said that I could take the metaphor of Comcast even farther.  I shall. God doesn’t like automated systems.  He wants to speak to a real human.  He doesn’t like that we keep ignoring him.  He’s tried every route except “discontinuing service”.  He’s thought about it, but he can’t stand the thought of leaving us.  We don’t even give God a way to bestow on us the simplest of blessings (not even an automated credit card phone payment system, in case I’m too vague).  We advertise all over that we’re…read more

In response to the recent depth

Posted by in Religion

My fellow bloggers have taken a recent turn to posts of religious depth.  People have been commenting, response-posting, and thinking a lot.  This post is in response to solitarytellurium’s comments on a post by my good friend Robby. I want to be closer to God, but at the same time, sometimes I just feel like letting go of everything. I want to live, and I’m afraid living isn’t good enough. I want more. I feel incomplete – like there is a vital part of me that isn’t there anymore. I’d…read more

Comcast… GRRRR

Posted by in Life, Opinion

I now officially hate Comcast.  Except that they do have really fast Internet. We got Comcast cable high-speed Internet at the beginning of the summer.  John signed the contract, and Tim and I paid him.  This was working out until our second month, when John mentioned that he still didn’t have the first bill.  So, he called Comcast.  They said he should get a new bill within the week. The next week, without the bill, John called them again.  Turns out they had the wrong address (John may have said…read more

The tales of Generic(Gender)!

Posted by in Laughter, Stories

The Tales of GenericBoy Generic(Gender) It was hh:mm when the phone rang.  Generic(Gender) answered it with his or her usual greeting:  “Hello, this is Generic(Gender) speaking.” The voice on the other end seemed to have emotion. “Hello, Generic!  I was meaning to speak with you.  I have a question to ask.” “Go right ahead and ask,” said Generic(Gender). “Would you like to attend my gathering in the near future?” he or she asked. Without doubt or hesitation,  Generic(Gender) stated, “Of course.” The time passed before the gathering was to take…read more

Bad poet

Posted by in Laughter, Poetry/Songwriting

In the spirit of wonderfully bad poetry introduced in Robby’s blog, I shall now attempt to make all English majors’ eyes bleed with my horrid writing.

—————————————

I sit in the computer lab
thinking that my life is fab.
All the while I hit “tab” on my keyboard.
My life is actually drab, and I’m bored.

The white cinder block walls stare at me.
(They must have eyes, but I can’t tell because they are completely white, as cinder blocks are supposed to be.)
The lights are too bright, but I can change that.
There’s this thingy on the desk that can change that.

My computer monitor on the right is the wrong resolution,
making my eyes wander in revolutions.
But my shift is almost over,
making me more lucky than if I had gone out into the field behind the gym and found myself a green four-leaf clover.

Epitomy of convenience

Posted by in Opinion

Robby has been looking at Adventist college campuses across the U.S.A.  He noted that the church is located directly adjacent to the hospital at Loma Linda, and that if your loved one was dying, you could simply walk next door to pray in a sanctuary. I, on the other hand, thought of another reason it was a good idea.  If you were at church and the sermon lasted too long, you could simply walk over to the hospital when you started dying. This is the epitomy of convenience.  What will…read more
