the meaning of life 2 (aka daily meaning 1)

Waste of time, right?  I went back to my first post by the same name because I started writing one again and had severe deja vu.  To be fair, I was going to peg music as the meaning of life today.

So, I'm going to try something: for 10 days I will post "daily meaning" snippets - just rough mentions of thoughts, things, people, events that made my day worth going through.

Since the day is just starting, a couple small things pop up:

• coffee is the reason I'm still employed
• Justin Timberlake's music is really fun and makes me want to get off my fat fanny and dance (it took a bit of balls to say it - I'm terribly embarrased by this realization)
• the Guilty Dog video is dumb but made me smile.  Incidentally, I will no longer be ashamed of liking silly things that make me smile/laugh, even when they're super-uncool.
• 5'nizza are fulfilling the role of the motherland's voice in my heart for the moment. Different artists have done that at different times (not only musicians but writers/poets, painters, directors, etc.) but there's always one.
• I'm surprised that being apart with my lover for weeks has not had a significant practical impact on my everyday life (that is, after over a decade of being attached at the hip, I don't need him to survive).  I was a little afraid that I wouldn't miss him, and am relieved to know that I do.  Wanting someone is waay better than needing him/her. It's the little things: having someone other than the dog to say "hi" when I enter the house, his whistling a random tune,...

The Gospel of Judas

Watched the National Geographic documentary on the relatively recently found gospel of Judas (authenticated'n'all) and now desperately want a fictional movie to be created on its basis.  In fact, if I had some writing prowess, I'd draft the script.  If the "Passion of Christ" made so much noise, imagine what this would do... :)

Also, I've heard before about the many Christian Gospels and worship practices that abounded in the first few years after Christ's death, but it never hit home with me.  Now I want to know more.

SPRING! :)

From Feb 17:

I know this is supposed to be my whining outlet and all, but it is literally 50 degrees outside!
Makes me want to sweep all the paper piles off my desk and skip toward the double doors to the sunshine and freedom of the outside!

Ok, that was yesterday, actually. Today is magical in a completely different way.  The mountains of snow have evaporated in one short day and are now hovering in the air just above the ground.  It's like the snowpiles got much thinner and taller.  It's almost noon, and the fog is still as thick as it was at 6 this morning!

As much as I hate winter, these rare days of unusual weather are SO worth it!
