Holier Than Thou...

It is amazing how Catholics (NOT ALL CATHOLICS but a far majority) believe they know all and are sooooooo "holier than thou" i said something . . . like . . . "Jesus Christ" or something like that. i didn't notice, however when this person rudely and offensively brought it to my attention. She then proceeded to pompously tell me that "its like how you didn't appreciate it when someone killed a bee (on my desk might i add) in class." she then proceeded to tell me "bee's have no soul, they are a finite creature, when they die they die. i mean who had a burial for a bee?" well you arrogant bitch i do. and i did. so excuse the fuck out of me! she wants me to be tolerant to her beliefs but she fucking knows all. so then i was sitting there and she says "what's the matter?" and this is the problem with this type of catholic they don't even realize when they have offended someone of another religion because they think they are justified due to the fact that the church preaches that their "god" is the one true god. they are soo oblivious to reality. and aren't christians supposed to be super aware? so i handled it by writing her a note that went something like this. 

" This is as non confrontational as i can be. my objective is not to offend you even though you have done just that. you expect religious tolerance but you don't know the meaning of the word. you think religious tolerance is for you and you alone. As soon as you brought my slip up to my attention, i apologized to you and i admitted it was disrespectful to your beliefs. you then proceeded to chastise me saying in so ,any words what i believed was wrong. "who burries a bee?" "bee's are finite creatures." well let me tell you something after class i went and found that finite bee, and took him out of the garbage, where btw he was still alive and writing in pain. so let me ask you, if he was finite as you said is writing in pain the last thing he should feel. they do have nerves and can feel pain! we said a prayer for said bee apoloigizing for his pointless death brought on by a creature who should have known better. and i an DEATHLY ALLERGIC TO BEES! Every creature great and small deserves love and respect, as YOUR "God" preaches. i was once a born again christian. i worked with Mother Theresa's soup kitchen in the bronx. i was a missionary. i left the church b/c it is so one sided. they have a terrible attitude towards anyone else's beliefs and yet they preach tolerance! Practice what you preach. RESPECT my religion as you expect me to respect yours. i apologized for what i said, you chastised me. you offended me to my core and yet i got no apology."

only in the USA. fuck.

Today.

Today turned out to be a BEAUTIFUL day!! We spent our morning galavanting around town, Timmy and I got the Sheets version of the 7-11 Slurpie... then we went to kitty's house to find her. she wasn't home after wards we looked for Jimmy Clark.. couldn't find him so then we called is work, he was there.. he told us to follow Waverly road to Lackawanna state park. He lied. we didn't find it. but we were close to Keystone College. so i decided to stay on the back road and follow it up. We met up with some of my old college buddies.. the lifers, Mark Chuck gave Timmy some clay to take home.. well like 30 Lbs of it. then he gave us CORRECT directions to the state park. they were great. except for the fact that the park lied. they put the sign where there was no park! WTF? so we drove 4 miles in the wrong direction, only to fine if i had gone literally another 10ft we would have been at the park before that!!! so upon finally finding the park, we sat there basking in the sunshine timmy caught some tadpoles.. only they were the largest tadpole i have ever seen! we took two home along with the frog eggs with the understanding that when they turned to frogs they would be returned to the park. then we went and picked kitty up and grilled hot dogs and hamburgers outside. we watched a few shows and then took kitty home. you know there is something to be said about flying down the road with the wind in you hair at 11:30 at night blasting the doors.. there is also something to be said for drinking too much NyQuill.. oops.

Something to think about...

"When is a man Educated?" "When he can look upon the universe, now lucid and lovely, now dark and terrible, with a sense of his owen littleness in the great scheme of things, and yet have faith and courage. when he knows how to make friends and keep them, and above all, when he can keep friends with himself.

When he can be happy alone and high-minded amid the drudgeries of life. When he can look into a wayside puddle and see something besides mud, and into the face of the most forlorn mortal and seen something divine. 

When he knows how to live, how to love, how to hope, how to pray -- is glad to live . . .  and has in this heart a bit of song."
