Bend Down Low

It’s now a rainy Wednesday though it didn’t start out that way. I am now congested and have a sinus headache and I didn’t start out that way either. I went to bed at a decent hour last night after watching the Gilmore Girls, then Frontline about Global Warming and how the idiots in the White House are in total denial. Jeezy Creezy I hate them so much. I don’t think I’ve hated anyone as much as I hated these two motherfuckers. I don’t think I hated Ronald Reagan as much as these fools and that is saying quite a bit.

I woke up a few minutes earlier than the alarm clock, Bill was home and taking the day off to clean the apartment. I don’t exactly know what that means. The bed was made so I guess that might qualify. Bill wasn’t home so I couldn’t ask him. I felt fine as I showered and had some breakfast, got on the bus as usual and I noticed that my head was feeling congested. I continued reading Richard Dawkins ‘The God Delusion’ and I highly recommend it. I’m now in the chapter where Dawkins is going through the old and new testaments, dissecting the books and chapters and wondering how so many people could believe these stories.

He easily refutes modern theologians statements about how no one takes the book of Genesis as literal truth, when actually a lot of people do. From the banishment from the Garden of Eden (what ever happened to the Garden once Adam and Eve were kicked out?), Noah and the flood, where god decides to just kill everyone except for Noah and his family and two of each animal. It seems like god is such a petty monster, to Abraham about to kill Isaac then changing his mind, Abraham pimping his wife Sarah to an Egyptian pharaoh, telling the pharaoh that Sarah was his sister (Genesis 12: 18-19). When the pharaoh found out, kicked their asses out of Egypt and Abe and Sarah wind up with the King of Gerar, where Ol’ Abe starts pimping Sarah again.

Could you imagine the psychological damage Isaac had after nearly being killed by his father, who in true Nuremberg style, was only following orders. I do so enjoy reading these dissections. I could go on, but I recommend reading the book. I enjoy it and certainly have gotten a few chuckles out of it. In an interesting note, I was just kicked out of a yahoo group for my atheism. I had a few words with a moderator who had a problem with Wiccans. I pointed out that his problems with the Wiccans could easily be applied to any religion. I guess I lined that cross, or maybe crossed that line. No big deal. I did rejoin under one of my noms de web just to follow the progress in kouros8@yahoo.com group. What a Malaka.

This morning I had to help Greg Stevens get his passport renewed before he flies off to Bermuda on Friday morning. I was on hold with the State Department for nearly thirty minutes to no avail. Then I tried getting info from some companies that promise to be able to get a passport in 24 hours. It would cost close to $600 but that’s nothing really to these people. Greg was able to talk his way into the passport office, (located around the block from McMann and Tate) and will be picking up his renewed passport by 5:00 tomorrow. So he was happy and thanked me, though all I did was actually give him directions to the passport office.

I left work an hour earlier than usual, feeling stuffed up in the head and achy in the bones. I felt ok out on the street but indoors, I was woozy. Now I’m home, feeling ok and very hungry despite having a tuna sandwich a little while ago. I think it’s allergies since the weather is playing havoc with the pollen and whatnot. I’m going to take it easy tonight, just chill out, maybe watch Lost. I’m recording it just in case I can’t stay awake. I plan on going back to work tomorrow.

Spoke with Miriam today who just got home from the hospital after giving birth to a daughter, Meriah Grace Mazzerella, 7 lbs 10 oz. Yay! Mother, father and daughter are doing well.
