If ever I found a good motivating force to blog more, it is that picture of Scott Baio in the previous post: I must keep writing to get that thing to scroll off my monitor. Do you think the now-middle-aged Scott Baio looks back on that photo and wants to kill himself? I know I do.
Speaking of killing, I guess this is the holiday that has something to do with Jesus being dead. No offense to anyone, really. I just don't know much about the whole religion thing, having grown up in a religious-free environment. Religion to me meant getting a bunch of Hanukkah presents once a year, feeling guilty for eating bacon, and, from ages 10-12, being forced to go to Hebrew school against my will, where I paid attention just enough to get Bar Mitzvahed and then forget the whole thing forever.
Now, however, I'm married to a French (or should I say "Freedom") Protestant person, and have a 9-year old daughter. The Wife is not religious either but she likes the holidays and traditions, unlike me. For example, just this minute, she came in and said, "could you stop doing that soon and help hide the eggs?" Buh. Hide the eggs. Now, with all due respect, I have to ask, "what the f*$k?"
Seriously. Even with my limited understanding/interest in all things religious, I still know that Easter has something to do with Da Jesus and his whole magic resurrection thing. So where do the eggs and the bunny come in? And why, 2000 years later, when I'm trying to drink my coffee on a Sunday morning, do I have to spread them out on my goddamn front lawn?
Christ.

Also:
Shaquille O'Neal is a big turd eater.
It's just something he likes to do.
Wow, another post. Is it Friday already?
