Slow it down a second.

I’ve been watching a TV series a buddy lent me. It’s called "Dead Like Me", ever hear of it? It’s about this girl who is killed by a toilet seat from a Russian space station that fell out of the sky. She becomes a grim reaper and is saddled with the responsibility of collecting souls from people just before they bite it from weird accidents and such like hers. The weirdest part about it is how not so weird the whole show is. She still has to hold down a day job and hangs out with a group of friends who also happen to be reapers. But the whole show revolves around how extraordinary what we consider normal life is and how normal what we consider the extraordinary is. Obviously this show has put me in a very odd state of mind. After watching a show mundane things in life like smoking a cigar and enjoying a cup of coffee see like exceptional experiences. And rather looming problems like a week from hell or major bills due with no cash in sight seem very inconsequential. I don’t imagine this would be a healthy state of mind to remain in for extended periods of time but in the short term it does help to put some perspective on things. Anyway I will pay my bills and survive this week one step at a time. Then I will thank God for that minor miracle and move on with my life. Tomorrow though holds something special. I have been barred from the office or any other place of work under strict orders from pastor Dave and his wife. I think some lazing around in the sun is in order, just as long as I can keep my mind as far away from work as my body is supposed to be. Anyway catch ya latter kids.
