The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

Christians are a pain in my ass

With all that Easter stuff going on I completely forgot that Christians rule my world.

Thursday the housekeeper finally committed mutiny. She now refuses to use my 18 year old Kenmore upright vacuum cleaner. Apparently the last explosion which sent dust everywhere requiring her to re-dust the entire apartment was more than she could take. I have to admit the second dusting wasn't very energetic.

So Sunday morning I woke with the resolution that I would spend at least a little time looking for and buying a new vacuum. So with the Sunday circular in hand I set forth to be a good little American and spend.

Little did I remember that the damn Christians rule my world.

EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED!!!

WTF?!?!?!

I couldn't get groceries, I couldn't get drugs, (well, I could get drugs but not the kind I needed.) And I certainly couldn't get a vacuum cleaner.

I came home with a roll of paper towels and a bottle of aspirin.

Fucking Christianity.

Have a little princely morsel.
