I think that I've been reading too many philosophical reviews of The Matrix (tho there is a good one here). The more I look at everything, the more different things really are
( Read more... )
father guido sarducci was a walk on charachter from the very first days of Saturday Night Live. he was best known for trying to sell viewers the popular board game 'find the pope in the pizza.' (it's the kind of thing you have to see to get.)
as for the rest of it, love... don't sweat it, you're not the only one who was born old. you're not alone in wondering what the fuck's going on. my best friend evan who was an atheist and a bastard all through middle and high school is now finding god and certain he's goign to marry his born-again girlfriend. you take these weird 180 degree turnarounds with a grain of salt, accept that this is what your friends want, and you try not to think about it too much. i cope by telling my reforming athiest to see to it that i'm in the bridal party and that his bride-to-be doesn't make me wear an ugly dress... i mean what else is there to do?
I'm mildly offended that you don't think I know the good father! I know that I wrote that more as a vague explanation to why they called me guido and all, but I expect more from you. You're better than that. My all time favorite Sarducci bit was his theory on what happens when you die. In essence, you are given a large sum of money (based on the good things you've done), and then you watch your whole life all over again, at which time you have to pay for your sins. If you run out of money, you have to live another life and try to earn enough to pay your debt off before you can go to heaven. "Many Italian men have to spend two or three lives as cellibant nuns to make it up." Ok.. that part scares me

Take the red pill, Matt!datagrokAugust 18 2003, 12:06:21 UTC
What you know you can't explain. But you feel it. You've felt it your entire life. That there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is but it's there, like a splinter in your mind driving you mad.
Marriage is just another splinter in your mind, Matt. Agent "Dr. Phil" is only there to ensure everyone's complacency and proper early-and-oft procreation. Can't you see the mini speaker there in his ear? Don't let the Matrix pull the wool over your eyes.
You're unique, Matt. Unmarried is not unhealthy. If you get fed up and bored with being single one day, then maybe you'll go find somebody as unique as yourself. Even then, would you need marriage? I can picture you married, but the bride would have to be as much of a character as you are. Nobody that I know personally right now would be adequate to be Mrs. Rossi. But don't think that marriage is a requirement just because everybody else took the blue pill. They're all victims of society's expectations... don't follow the herd!

Oh do not fret, dream master.
I do not mean to disallusion people... I hope that I do not sound like I am going to be jumping on a bandwaggon or anything like that. I am single and I LOVE it. Of course, I now expect Dr. Phil to apear in a cloud of smoke and try to talk me into the american dream... No, this whole rant was just the shock value that I now have a lot of married friends. The coincidence of seeing like three couples together as I did - especially one who I was kind of with - just caused me to wonder when all of this happened. I went to a wine and cheese party over the summer for god sakes! A WINE AND CHEESE PARTY!
btw- I apreciate Morpheus' introduction. How much of life can be summarized by it?
Easy answer: you arent married because there isnt a broad alive who can pussy whip you the way those poor dumb saps have been tied, beaten and sent to the store for tampons.
you're cooler than that.. while marriage and "forever" are cool if your too afraid to live first, you're choosing to live life while you can do it arthritis free and spare yourself the midlife crisis that all three will inevitably have.
pimp, baby.. pimp. Later on, choose the hottest hoe who gives the best head, and slap your last name on her, but for now... forget about it ;)
Wow Matt.. I'm in shock.... 1) Because you had a journal update 2) It was deep
Fantastic!
Sometimes you just get so caught up in life.. you're used to everything the way it is.. then one day.. you look at the world a little differently.. and.. things have changed. You can't help but to think "Whoa!.. What the fuck happened!? HOW.. WHEN!!?!!??!?!? WHHHHHHHHHYYYYYY!?!??!?!?!!!!!!!!?!!????!?!"
