American Pile of Dung

08.18.03 (9:30 pm) [edit]

Well, I took that driver's test. Failed. You know why? Because I'm too much of an Englishman. It turns out that I was driving on the wrong side of the false rode and I didn't notice it and then the instructor asked me to park and I did it well but I didn't have enough space coming out and I touched a cone. I do know how to drive, though.
But I suppose I was tired and the bare Englishman in me was flexing his muscles.

Anywho. Today is my sister's birthday. I gave her a few presents and she really liked them and we took many photos and my mum wanted me to contact her brothers because she was feeling sad that she didn't have an older brother to do things like that (I spent $15 on her and got her a few nice things from Eckerds, an entire beauty kit with candy and tampons in it). So then I took pictures with my digital cam, which I love, and I edited them. Then something outside caught my eye. I looked and I saw the sky.

It was as off God painted the sky a brilliant color that no one has ever seen before and mixed it with 5 million other colors. Then painted it across the sky as if it were a canvas. The clouds formed mounds and shapes and twists and turns and spiraled throughout the sky. It was as if a skyscraper was erected that towered above everything. Then twighlight time hit and they were illuminated with colors of bright orange and vivid yellow, reminiscent of that pink candy frost stuff that they give out at the carnival whos name I can't recall. I decided to ride around on my bike to see if anyone else was marveling at such a wonderous splendor (I hadn't seen skies this beautiful since I was 5 when I came here). Not a soul gazed at the sky. They were all busy driving around angrily in their large cars. Talking about things that no one will care about tomorrow and playing their loud music, completely oblivious to the beauty that lye right above their heads. I mean, it was right there. If you'd only lift your chin you'd be amazed to a gasp. But, no. Nothing. These people go day to day in and out without noticing the beauty that God sets before them and without appreciating these things that they so much take for granted.
Everyone here in America has a car. And if they don't have one yet, they're going to get one. They're in love with it. You see hardly anyone riding bikes or walking, like what I do, unless they're financially restricted from owning a car. What's in this wasteful machines that these people love and almost worship so much is beyond me.

Days go by and I go to work and I serve people. Thousands of them. They gather together in lines. They stand and wait for half an hour as they miss their movie, what they paid to see and what they came there for. All for some concession stand snacks. And they pay the outrageous prices. $3.25 for a bottle of water. $5 for a bag of popped corn. $3.25 for a hot dog. $4.50 for some pretzels. They stuff their face, then they come out and get more, mid-movie. And it's my job to tell them that they can refill it mid-movie and get more. They send their large, round children to get more and give them large amounts of money. They let them decide and tell them that it's okay to be excessive. That they can get whatever they want and hand them slips of green and stacks of silver. They ask for medium, I tell them that they can get a large for a few quarters more. They give in. They ask for large quantities of butter (yellow-flavored vegetable oil imitation) on their food items. They guzzle down their large drinks (44oz) and then they come and they ask for more. Endless cycle. And I serve them these things.
So why is 64% of America overweight? Why are 4 out of 5 teenagers obese and 80% of them overweight?
Because they have their heads down.
If they'd only look up, they'd see the beauty and a few of the things that they've been "worshipping" wouldn't seem as important. They'd stop forcing their attention on themselves and their stomaches and how they look or where they work or how miserable they are when they get up in the morning and they'd see the beauty of Who's above them.
You decide.

You're right about beauty, and ask Oscar Wilde said "We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars" ...

That's why I speak out for the rights of all peoples of the world to look up and see the beauty, not just the rich.

No doubt about that. I try to model my life after Jesus' and he was in no way a rich man when he was here on Earth. He preached as a poor man. To tax collectors and sinners, even.

Nice try, sam. You probably are all for ugly media that pays money to the left, and making them rich, wether you know it or not. I am not in the gutter. You must try to get on the good side of everybody at first, then win them over! Wether you know it or not!
