'nother day in de boonies

so someone decided to give me a hug this morning at 5-ish and then puked on my face....lovely! i had to run a bubbly bath after wiping our faces and stripping the sheets. good thing she didn't eat dinner, or much of lunch the day before, or we'd have us a puke-fest. i am those puke sympathizer......poor me, feel free to feel sorry......feel free to puke in your waste bin afterwards too.....

oke......so, i have this preacher man who comes over every now and then. he used to come over a shite load in the beginning, which at first annoyed the hell outta me.....and i was quite blunt about someone barking up my tree in the name of "their religion".......then planner decided to get friendly-we were new in the neighbourhood and lacking friends at the time......planner is just a nice guy whose innocence at times makes me want to lick.....lick.......uh? lick a mile of wasabi.... how'z that?

anyway....so they come and they'd have a pray-fest together, while i hide in the other room chanting.....(just kidding!)....i WOULD be in the other room. there was just something weird about those fellas...and they usually come in twos or threes....sometimes in fours..... strength in numbers, as they say, eh?

it's just weird.....i get the small hairs in the back of my neck standing every time they're by...and my three dawgs go berserk....but then, my dawgs are heathens.....pagans.....whatever....and i'm just as much an odd ball. (grin.)

as i said once before, i really have nuthing against religion, but it does bother me, if one tries to shove it down my throat....you know? aggressive converters!

i think religion is a very personal thing....you may choose to find it, choose to explore, to learn...or at times, it finds you......but to go out of your way to convert someone is just weird...it makes it seem false....like their decision, becomes somewhat tainted....by peer-pressure or whatever......

for me, i would think, if god had something to say to me, god will happily kick me on my behind.....i don't need no man telling me what god wants me to hear.

i've also had an argument with a rastahman once....he said, without man, a woman cannot find her spirituality....i bout near choked on my bottle of beer on that one!

i understand the ying and yang in life....well, as best as i can understand it at this moment anyway....i do think....feel, that the spirit of life.....your conscious and subconsciousness flows a certain way with the whole consciousness of the world, and the "higher self".....greater it is to learn it your way, that you get a better understandment of it, than to just follow as sheep.

life is not about beating ourselves up black and blue for what we may have done or our ancestors did, in the past.....and it's not about obsessing in what tomorrow may bring that it deprives you from you life at the moment....it's a balance of both but more that you should be in the now...to cherish it...to live it whole and consciously. you can't well change yesterday, but you can learn from it. you cannot write tomorrow-for it hasn't happen-though you can work on it today for perhaps tomorrow.....?

what? what?

anyway....so the preacher man and his follower came today and caught me home alone....he had a package for planner and pantless. we made polite small talks....and he asked if i wanted them to pray for anything this christmas.....i said, "oh the usual, please.....world peace will do since it hasn't happen." (i wasn't being sarcastic, yo!) "and just being grateful." then preacher man wanted to pray together in the dining room before he goes on to try and convert more pagans.......i felt funny but i suppose it doesn't hurt? so i bowed my head and he prayed....and he said, " in jesus name i pray, amen." and i added like, those kung fu films....i said, "buddha's name be praised, amen!" it came so naturally. this has been our grace every now and then when we remembered. i caught the preacher and his follower grimaced and sneered as they beat a hasty retreat.

i gather, as it was uncomfortable for me at first, i think it became awkward for them later. but hey.....if i'm gonna tolerate this, they might as well too.

so, that was my today. how was yours?
