Like many others, I’ve found that I’m generally just not in the mood to write anything these days. A good friend is in the hospital and I feel like there’s nothing I can do. But pray. But prayer is so important.
There’s other stuff going on, too… in the world, in my friends’ lives… Too much to talk about, so I say nothing at all.
But even so, I feel like I need to take a break from all the seriousness. There have been a couple of things that I’ve read/seen recently that I’ve wanted to post, but I felt they were too frivolous… But maybe folks need a good laugh. Maybe I do too. So here goes:
First, what I read. In general, I’m too uncultured to really understand Shakespeare, but I love this:
Osw. What dost thou know me for?
Kent. A knave, a rascal, an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking, whoreson, glass-gazing, superserviceable, finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave, one that wouldst be a bawd in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pander, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch; one whom I will beat into clamorous whining if thou deny’st the least syllable of thy addition.
Ah… there’s nothing quite like the sound of British insults. 
And second, what I saw… I was on a website that had compiled a bunch of 80s music videos when I saw this classic blast from my past. I was a big fan of “Weird Al” Yankovic growing up, and this has got to be the most classic music video of all time. If you find the video offensive, please watch the next one too, and you’ll see what he’s really making fun of.
Though I knew that this was a parody of Michael Jackson’s “Bad”, I’d never seen that video before. Thanks to the miracle of YouTube, here it is. Al’s video is even funnier with this context.
Okay… I just had to take a break to do that.
Here’s to hope. Keep praying!
