cellphones, not always bad
so, my calling plan has changed and i got to take 1hr 25min & 46sec of advantage from it this evening.
i got to talk to matt about a lot of stuff. we didn't really talk about any meaty topics like religion, politics, or feelings, but we did get to talk about life. which is good stuff. He told me about the guys that he works with, and I must admit, it seems very rewarding and enchanting. I could possibly be jealous, but not really. i guess that i look at my job as a cog for the economy, and i see his job as a cog for humanity. bipolar in their differences. talking to him made me think about this debacle in a few new lights.
i realized that i have funny stories to tell about work, and laughter is never a bad thing, especially when you get to hear the other person laugh. i also realize now, thanks again matt, that i am not completely powerless to the events that i dislike at work. one things for certain, though, i'm not really mature enough to deal with certain situations that arise at work.
another thing that occurred to me, almost instantaneously after hitting the end button on my cell phone, is that i really miss my good friend matt. i miss the laughter and the sound that only his voice can make. it's weird, i miss a few of my friends that i had growing up, but matt and i hit it off pretty immediately. as did lance and i, but that's another story, and this one is better.
matt and i met at a church in watauga. neither one of us went to this church, mind you. it was a baptist church dance party. kayla, my g/f at the time knew him. matt and i met and then we started running around singing and yelling like we owned the place. if any of you remember the song epic by faith no more, then you might recall at the end of the video there was a fish flopping around on the ground. so, they played the song, and at the end we flopped like fish on the floor. i'm not sure if it was for the amusement of others, or for ourselves. eh, who cares. ever since then we've been friends. that was like 12 or 13 years ago.....crazy. i guess if we ever live in the same town again then we will have to be on a bowling league together.
i really want to get out of texas. this place is sucking me dry. all of our good friends live elsewhere. Rachael;Gaylord, Matt;Minneapolis, Lance;San Francisco, Sid;Germany (i think), Shane;Canada somewhere. It's not just the lack of friends, it's also the heat, the cookie cutter landscape, rural to urban transformations, and brainwashed religious zealots who wouldn't know what the inside of the Bible really says if it was read to them. "what is that commie crap, they shared all of their belongings?"
i hope that the rest of america isn't so programmed. seriously, i've posted about this frustration of mine more than once, so you know what i am talking about. i feel that a lot of people are so fed up with hearing "those people" that the whole religion suffers from it. granted, i have my battles within the text of the Bible, but it definitely doesn't tell me to treat people like poop if they aren't christian. it's like christianity has become the great popularity contest for rich religious Americans. Today on "How Christian are You?" we have top talk show star and scripture shouting Rush Limbaugh. "I'm glad to be here, and for all of you liberal media consumers out there, gay marriage is a sin so make it illegal." Why do they keep attacking gay marriage when this country is not a Christian country? Why do they keep attacking gay marriage when it's the same sin as adultery according to the Bible and they don't talk about that? Hypocrites and blasphemers, "read the bible read the bible, but environmentalists" (who want to protect what God gave us) "are commie gay atheists who destroy the moral fabric of America."
No, you, Sir Hypocrite, are destroying it. Not just morally, but physically as well.
whew this is long.
So, Matt and I talked about his work, I talked about mine. I told him about homestarrunner, he told me about happy tree friends. we also talked about the plethora of independent businesses in minny minny. it makes my mouth water. btw, are there skateparks in minny minny?
I want to move, and so does Kelly.
In case you didn't know, Kelly and I are in love, and we are going to elope. And there is nothing that anyone can do about it, and we don't like texas.
goodnight.
