Tonight…ugh.
20-something guy customer: “Hey I need the Chris Tomlin cd.”
Me: “Sure, which one are you looking for?”
Guy: “The new Christmas one.”
Me: “I’m sorry, we’re actually sold out of that one. It’s been really popular.”
Guy: “Wow, you suck.”
Me: “Excuse me?”
Guy: (stares at me) You guys suck.
No. No, I’m pretty sure we don’t suck. You know who might though? I’m thinking you do. You suck because you’re shopping days before Christmas for the most popular Christmas album released this year. Of course it’s sold out. IDIOT.

safe
It’s not that I need someone to help me fix things, explain away my sadness, or tell me everything will be okay.
It’s more that I just need someone to recognize that sometimes things can’t be fixed, that I am more than a battle of chemicals and that there is a part of me that matters and is worth sticking it out for.

I look up at your macro-skies, dark and enormous,
your handmade sky-jewelry,
Moon and stars mounted in their settings.
Then I look at my micro-self and wonder,
Why do you bother with us?
Why take a second look our way?
Psalm 8:3-4 (The Message)

Dear Thug Lyfe Committee Outside Of Walmart Doors,
This is not my ideal place to be at 12:30 in the morning and I realize it may not be for you either, but I had shopping to do and not enough time for it. Plus I ran out of deodorant yesterday and I wanted the kind that smells like cupcakes. What’s your excuse for being here?
And no, you can’t have my number. Go home to bed. I just want to get to my car.
Thanks,
Girl with 2 shopping bags

Proposal
Replace “girl” with “squirrel” when singing along to popular radio songs
Terms of Usage
a) Commitment: use “squirrel” throughout the entire song or risk confusing your audience.
b) Seriousness: keep a straight face. Laughter spoils pronunciation.
c) Vocal Ability: let’s be honest, this doesn’t matter all.
Implementation
Works best when driving a car full of people, and is optimal when some of said people are strangers to you.
Real Life Examples
a) “It’s so hard with my squirrels not around me; it’s definitely not a Nashville party.”
b) “Damn squirrel, how you get all of that in them jeans, them jeans?”
c) “And I’m gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket,
but I’ve got to get a move on with my life.
It’s time to be a big squirrel now,
and big squirrels don’t cry.”

Xmas
Some people believe that the term Xmas is part of an effort to take Christ out of Christmas or to literally “cross out Christ”.
This is why I don’t really have a huge problem with it:
The word “Christ” and its compounds, including “Christmas”, have been abbreviated in English for at least the past thousand years, long before the modern “Xmas” became common. “Christ” was often written as “XP” or “Xt”.
This X and P arose as the uppercase forms of the Greek letters used in ancient abbreviations for Χριστος (Greek for “Christ”) and this is still widely used in many Eastern Orthodox icons depicting Christ.
The labarum or Chi-Rho, a combination of the two Greek letters, is a symbol often used to represent Christ in Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Christian churches.
