the prayer

i think i’m getting a freaking sty. luckily it’s not in the center point of my eye. it’s on my left eye, top left corner. every few years or so i will get one and it sucks bad. i’ve heard horror stories about people with stys. usually they involve puss oozing out of the eyelid, either through plucking out a single eyelash or by some needle at a doctor’s office. now i don’t know how accurate this is and i’m sure they are just urban legends. i can’t even remember where i heard them from. for all i know i could have made it all up in my head. the problem is that it scares me to death and i’m gonna worry about my stupid eye until it eventually goes away, which it always has in the past. i don’t even know why i’m getting this stupid thing. it’s already starting to hurt and get puffy. this sucks.

best film editing is tough. i’m torn between crash and walk the line. i’m gonna have to go with walk the line because they have to at least win something. i’ll also give best leading actress to reese witherspoon. that’s a no-brainer.

another great u.s. highlight of the games yesterday. lindsey jacobellis had a huge lead in the snowboardcross and on the second to last jump she decided to do a little trick just for the hell of it. like many of her fellow teammates, she fell on her ass and got the silver instead. she’s lucky to have even gotten that. she’s an idiot and should be sent home and banned from the games for showing off and losing another one for the u.s. the freaking canadians are beating us in the metal count now. i can’t wait to move away from this country. kim and i were thinking either new zealand or the netherlands. alright, so it was me that was thinking the netherlands. either way, we want out. some day.

i find it interesting that there is an estimated jewish population of anywhere between 14.5 and 15.4 million people. there are 12.2 million lds members in the world. there’s no reason why i mention this. it’s just interesting to see that there really aren’t that many jews in the world when you look at it this way.

today is more bode miller and i have a special prayer for him. let us pray. oh dearest zeus, supreme ruler of mount olympus, god of the slopes, we are so thankful for snow sports. we are grateful that thou has given us snowboarding. and even skiing is alright. we are thankful that we have been blessed to have the olympic games during our lifetime, even if the winter games really aren’t as good as summer. oh son of cronus and rhea, we pray for bode on this day. we pray that he will not let us down and continue his olympic quest much like he has so far. we pray that he will show up to the event hung over and be disqualified immediately out of the gates. we ask thee to take away all of his sponsorships so we will not have to see his stupid bode.com commercials any longer. our god of gods, we are tired of his ego and tired of his attempt to be the greatest badass our country has to offer. we all know that you have blessed samuel l. jackson and collin ferall with that honor. don’t let bode try to take that from them. we pray that thou will condemn bode to a life as michaela dorfmeister’s servant. also, lord of justice, please forgive us for not honoring thee and the true meaning of olympic sport, and creating events like ice dancing, curling, and men’s figure skating. supreme ruler of olympia, we pray for these things in the name of thy ultimate creation, the stoner snowboarder. αμήν.
