Absurdity

Well, maybe not.

"Jesus Take the Wheel" for example. Full of absurdity. I know it's this big metaphorical thing and I'm sure any Christian fanatics will probably hate me upon reading it but I just can't take that song seriously. She's about to die, spinning in the middle of the night on a dark road with a baby in the backseat and the only thing she can think to do is, wait for it, let go of the steering wheel?? Really? Like, Really?

Tell me you take that seriously...I dare you!

If it were me, I'd grab the wheel, do those things you get taught to do in situations like this, make sure the car pulls over safely, check on the baby, then cry and pray. I understand the idea of getting to that breaking point where you realize that you've got to change things or you will inevitably decline. I've been there, I've done that. I've seen my life slipping into something I didn't want. I got on my knees and prayed. It's not that I don't get the spirit of the song, I do. I just think that part is absurd.

Cheeze Whiz is absurd, too. And, also, it seems, a recurring theme in this blog.

Speaking of absurd, too, best wedding toast ever: "May the love we celebrate today fall slowly into it's inevitable decline."

Why can't I think of things like that??

Also Absurd - giving teenagers a Mercedes. Up here it seems like you're no one without a Lexus, Mercedes, or BMW. Why is it that status is defined by stuff? I've rarely met someone with an expensive car that wasn't an ass or didn't drive like one. It's like those small trucks with huge wheels or those stupid lowriders where you just think to yourself "Nice car. Sorry your dick is so small."

Sheesh.
