Sunday Driving

Fuck. Today I can finally catch a breather although I have more German fucking homework than I know what to do with. Better start cracking! I have a presentation tomorrow in class as well as the final on Wednesday to prepare for. It's definitely going to be a wild ride. I hate the Autobahn because it's so poorly planned out. I don't know who the fucking assholes who designed it were, but half the road signs are easy to miss if you're not paying attention or if some stupid truck is blocking the exit indicator. And I thought these assholes were renowned for efficiency. The same goes for Frankfurt International Airport too. Mother's Day is a nightmare no matter where you go. I took my mom out today for lunch and every goddamned screaming brat was crying in unison it seemed. The Commissary, the BX, the restaurant....it's like weekends are prime time for miserable families to get out and share their burden with everyone else. If I ever get settled down and have kids, I'll keep them well behaved. No fucking tantrums in public, that's for certain. Saw STACY walking around today and gave her a ride. Yep. She's a total dork. We were discussing that stupid bullshit Final Fantasy: Advent Children movie today of all things. Jeezus Fucking Christ. Video game talk with the new troop. I gave her a ride over to the library so she could check her e-mail and then took off. I got a phone call today from a visiting reservist that's pissed because she left a bunch of her personal shit in the GOV we were letting her use, and how she no longer now has means of transportation to getting around. I get this phone call asking me "what I'm going to do about it" and explained that everything that "I" needed to do has already been taken care of. I wasn't about to stick my dick in the mashed potatos on this one, and told her that vehicle abuse isn't to be tolerated, and how she can take a taxi or the shuttle bus in order to get to and from work if need be. She started to get huffy at first but told her to take it up with our chain. Let them deal with the topic. Anycase...... So now that I've got this new audience, I think I'll throw this into the Kool-Aid mix: I asked that ckhnat chick this question and I'll say the same thing here. Why are you Christians all following a religion based on Middle Eastern beliefs? Unless you're Jewish (read: 100% kosher) chances are you're of European, African, Asian or Latino background most likely, and have no idea what our original beliefs and traditions were. Thanks to the Romans and the Catholic Church, the majority of pagan knowledge has been all but forgotten and religious sites have churchs built over them now, where temples and open ground once stood. Celtic heritage has been reduced down to nothing more than a chapter or two in most history books, with the occasional comic book idiot wearing a t-shirt or sporting a tribal band tattoo just because it "looks cool". Had it not been for Charlemagne, Germany would still have its Teutonic influences and Scandanavian countries would still have their Nordic roots. The Europeans, while perhaps not as sophisticated as the Egyptians or the Romans at the time, had very much an active culture, as witnessed in midieval reliefs and artwork of The Green Man or Sheela-na-Gig on the sides of churches everywhere. Despite having to erect monuments to someone claiming to be the son of a Hebrew god, the true intentions of the artisans was prevailent. Of course today we dare not insult the Pacific Islanders or the Africans when they have a carving of their gods on display or when Native Americans wear their ceremonial gear for ritual purposes since it would be deemed "insensitive" or "racist", yet let someone wear a pentagram or a Thor's Hammer and the Christian's won't think twice about going up their ass with an iron glove. So, why izzit you're all following a Middle-Eastern system of belief? Spare me the "Road to Romans" speech - I've heard it a zillion times. Put down the Bible, forget all the indoctrination from the pulpit, and discuss why it is you choose to follow a group of people our ancestors had no original knowledge of.
