tekHedd – the blog

In fact, I’ve had a very nice week, but I haven’t had anything interesting to write about. So, to the casual blog browser, it looks like I’m still pissed off about Easter. But I’m not!

Spring is great. I’ve always been a big fan of the rebirth of all of the plants. (Hey look, it says here that pretty much all of the Christian Easter symbolism is actually Pagan Eoster symbolism. Who knew!? Oh, wait, you mean my parents did? And the preacher? And that lady that taught Sunday School? Hmm, I’m not pissed but somehow I feel like I should be!)

It’s not just rebirth of plants, it’s the birth of new plants, and that means Plant Sex. I’m not saying I have allergies exactly, but something awful is happening in my nose, for sure. Plants having sex all willy nilly. I mean, it’s fine with me that they’re getting it on. I’m in favor of sex in a general way, just specifically do they have to do it in the air I’m breathing? Cause that’s kind of gross. Or kinky. Really depends on how you look at it, I guess.

Well, now I’m pissed. I get back from vacation just in time for band practice, and show up only to discover that nobody can come because of Easter. OK, I’m not actually opposed to celebrations and all that, but nobody in the band is Christian. So they’re off celebrating the glorious resurrection and ascension of somebody they don’t believe in. Well, they all have families, so I guess I can’t blame them.

And hey, it was a beautiful if somewhat overcast spring day, and I was enjoying the drive home, and thinking about the whole resurrection story. Let’s see, the grave turns up emtpy, and nobody, absolutely nobody has seen the body except for Jesus’s disciples, or should we say accomplices? Well, it is somewhat suspicious, after all; three days after he’s buried, a religious cult leader’s body turns up missing. What is the most likely scenario:

1. His followers stole and hid the body.
2. Winged supermen opened the tomb, then Jesus came back to life, stopped in to say hello to his chosen few (and nobody else), and flew up into the sky.

Hmm. Let’s see, while I can see clearly how number two is much more believable, I can’t help thinking that there’s at least a small possibility that 1 could have happened.

(Twitter version: band practice cancelled 4 easter WTF? can you believe PPL actually fall 4 that sales pitch? LOL!)

[edit] Hmm, other scenarios come to mind. 3) buried in mass grave with other simultaneously-executed criminals, historical account completely made-up comes to mind, but lacks a certain…you know. Style.

In honor of this auspicious day, I have decided to start using twitter. In honor of Twitter’s proud history, I will be using it in the usual way: to create useless noise.

This is a test.
