2007

Happy New Year!

Well, last year was not a disappointment when it came to the Interesting Factor. Something was always going on, it seemed. I did a lot of things I thought I'd never do. I heard a lot of (true) stories I never thought I'd hear. And I said one thing I never thought I'd say.

Oh...wait...that was last night! It was in the new year! ::laughs:: Oh...well...great way to begin!

Once again, I must say it:

What will this year bring?

I hope it is interesting and amusing and challenging....but just a wee bit less stressful. For everyone. EVERYbody has stress in their life....maybe we make too much of it.

Happy New Year to Sister Christa--even though she won't ever read this--we miss you!

Has the world ended?

I trust Beth is well?

Disciple said...

Is anyone still alive?

Does America still exist?

Hellooo.

Disciple said...

Tracy, I can feel an insult surging up within me on account on your long absence....

Disciple said...

It's not a pretty insult...

Disciple said...

In my supprt, I did give adequate notice...

NEWSFLASH

Mystery is surrounding the whereabouts of Miss Tracy Marie Therese Robinson whose blog has been neglected for over eight days now.
Various unconfirmed sightings had been reported up until today, but this afternoon a photographer from India came forward with an image of Miss Robinson on a beach in Goa. A Canon Powershot S50b camera was used to capture the shot.
The photograph appears to indicate that Miss Robinson has adopted a couldn’t care less attitude concerning the furore by her blog supporters over the length of time she has been absent from her blog. Many supporters are seriously considering transferring their allegiance away from the Art of M&Ming for good.
Numerous alternatives are available for dissatisfied customers. The hot spot currently being utilised by bloggers is the Bug Princess blog site which has been widely acclaimed for its compassionate view towards the sadistic, malicious and evil murder of President Saddam Hussein.
Meanwhile, the public anxiously awaits a statement from Miss Robinson explaining her negligence. If such a statement is not forthcoming within the next 24 hours, Miss Robinson’s credibility as blog queen will be terminally damaged. One fan today expressed his/her/its opinion in the words “If we don’t hear from Tracy real soon, she can lie on the beach until she evaporates for all we care”.

Oh my........

Well. What does one say after such a tirade.....

I would also like to know what it was you said that night, but I know that I shall have to content myself with not knowing because I know that your answer is not forthcoming, and that I will probably never know because you will never tell me. You prefer to revel in all the attention you get from your curious friends.

I love you Tracy.

Disciple said...

Hi Immy!

Disciple said...

Do you love me?

Disciple said...

No, Mason.
That doesn’t make me feel in the slightest way better.
But thanks anyway.

Tracy said...

HEY!!!!

Tracy said...

John Briody!

Be nice!

Or I'll write to Christa and tell on you!

Disciple said...

Put Beth on the computer.

Unknown said...

Hmmmm... I suppose I love you about the same as I love a pet. You amuse me, and I'd be sad if you died..... but more so because I'd have to say that since you are a human I'd probably risk my life to save you from certain death.

Does that suit you?
And be nice to Mason.

Disciple said...

It kind of suits me.
I can’t relate to the bit where you suggest that you wouldn’t risk your life to save an animal but you would for a human.
If I had to choose between saving an animal (let’s say my dog) and saving a “human” (let’s say a member of the bourgeoisie), then HELLO, my dog would get an extra biscuit for distracting me when a bourgeoisie was in difficulty.
If I had to choose between saving a bourgeoisie and just standing there scratching myself, then HELLO, I would frame the flee that caused the itch.
The moral of the story is: There is always some excuse to avoid helping others.

Unknown said...

Yes, but God sees through your pitiful excuses, John. Aside from that... Are you a member of the bourgeoisie? And what did they ever do to me?
So... why should't I save one of them over a dog?
Anyway.. you are getting to theological for my rather general statement. Would it be moral to let a bad person die if it was in your power to save them??? Who knows.

Disciple said...

No, I was never a member of the bourgeoisie. I was a donkey worker.
For a while, in the early days, I was one of the more privileged donkey workers, who, together with an Australian got to leave the seminary every Saturday to buy the booze etc. at Sams Club. Such an outing went a long way in making life tolerable. But that was taken away from us, just for the sake of taking something away from somebody else.
We used make a long morning of it and finish the job with lunch out. The Australian has since departed. I think he was accused of alcoholism when he went to refill his shot glass with beer!

Why was I not in the bourgeoisie? For one, I didn’t grovel to the leaders of the various factions or carry gossip and tales back to them, so I was never offered a position in it. Secondly, they probably sensed that I didn’t like the setup.
I would like to think that, had I been offered a position, I would have turned it down on principle.

I was only joking about putting animals before people. Your morality was spot on, 3 comments up. I was twisting things about because I prefer animals to people!

Just kidding! ;)

Silly John.
