Ramblings: Take One

As she approached her driver-side door, she noticed two gentlemen getting in the car sitting bumper to bumper with hers. Doors closed. Subaru vs. Honda. Honda vs. Subaru. Queue Western theme music. It was a 20th Century duel, sans guns. She wondered if they had received the same e-mail three years ago from Tree Hugger that explained why it was best for your car, the environment, and thus all mankind, to pull forward rather than reverse. They looked at her, she at them, and then after an awkward pause, they reversed.

Sweet victory! It was a small win, in a huge day that, up to this point, had only delivered defeat. She'd take it.

Then, while waited in the drive-thru of Starbucks, her car idled way too long completely reversing the good of her pull through. Putting her back to square one, and minus some, for slowly doing her part to smoke out the human race. It was a thought that made her sink as she waited, eyeing up the suit in the window wiping his chin of danish and the two purses pressed against the window revealing only the bobbing heads of their owners. But in the end, it really wasn't anything an iced Americano couldn't lift her out of...

Moral of the story: The good doesn't always outweigh the bad.

High, girl!
Whether you obtain morality4mortality to wiseabove
and/or just glean tantalizing specimens for thy next best seller,
I realize my penname is quite morbid, yet,
you shall find in our blogs a lotta (subliminal) moxie
which has taken this sinfull mortal yeeeeers to compile:
I lay it ALL out for you, dear, with All-Star-Oxygems:

Wouldn’t ya love an endless eternity
of aplomBombs falling on thy indelible cranium?
An XtraXcitinXpose with no
zooillogical-expiration-date?
An IQ much higher than K2?
An extraordinarily, anti-establishment victory
with a sardonic, satirical wit Who’s savvy??
Here’s what the exquisite, prolific GODy sed
(with a most excellent detector of bull§ht):

“Faith, hope, and love,
the greatest of these is love -
jump into faith...
and you'll see with love”
Doesn’t matter if you don’t believe (what I write);
God believes in you.

Meet me Upstairs, girl, where the Son never goes down
from a passionate, lucrative iconoclasm where you’ll find
nonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsX…
of deluxe-HTTP [<- pi] opportunities for excitement BTW.

Do it. Do the deed, dude. Sign into the Big House.
