Happy Good Friday Easter is only hours away. I should confess. Forgive me, for I have joined a Toastmasters Club. I deserve it, I did a lot of stupid shit when I was young. Toastmasters was sent to punish me. So it is written, so shall it be done. That must be why I was randomly called on to give an impromptu 2 -4 minute speech to answer the question, What is your favorite part of Easter? I spoke for 3 minutes 58 seconds. I started by saying, "Most people who know me don't know I'm a Christian in fact if you asked most people who know me, to guess my religious denomination most people would guess, Atheist or Satanist before even considering Christianity." I added, "and I'm talking about people who have known me a very long time." I went on to describe the entire season of Easter as it's set out in the liturgical calendar. I ended my speech by reaching over and grabbing some dried-out palm branches from Palm Sunday years past and shook them in front of my laptop camera. (It was a ZOOM meeting) I knew this nasty old drunk, his name is Patty. Every time he spoke he ended his statement with the phrase, "And now you fucken Know!" I almost said it, but I saw my time was about to expire, thank God, so I nodded my head then smiled and said, "Happy Easter!" That's not what I was going to write about - the Happy Good Friday greeting just got me going. I want to write about the Musicology Anthology Contest - I signed up! I picked the Album, The Wall by Pink Floyd. The way the contest works is you have to write a story on every song title of the album you choose. Pink Floyd the Wall is a double album. WTG, Joel! OH MY GOD! LOOK AT THE TIME! It's Holy Saturday already. Packed and loaded, until next time, cheers. Joel |
