While getting in my car and heading out to lunch yesterday, I found a note on my windshield. First thing that came to mind was the only other note that I've gotten, about 10 years ago that read: REPENT! TODAY COULD BE YOUR LAST DAY! Gaaaah. Now how rude was that!!! But not really if you have car plates like these. So no biggie. I just chuckled and tossed the note away. I was thinking of getting the name Abdiel... Blast! It was taken! These days, I think people simply feel sorry for me. Free country, think what you will, right? haha!
Long story short, this note was very sincere. The kid [who I've seen many times at work and that we always park in the same space/area] apologized profusely and left his cell number. After I checked out the nick and was getting back into my car and there he was, walking out and saying that he was sorry. "Just let me know what I can do...", he said. "No worries, it's an old car and I wouldn't have noticed it anyway if you hadn't left me the note!" It's true, it's not noticeable at all unless it's pointed out to you. Finding him being so sincere was enough for me. So that was that.
Funny that I was thinking about car crashin' the other day. Remember Martin De Thurah's music videos? He also made other brilliant projects like these 2 Speeding Hurts commercials, here and here with the song The Lucky One sung by Alison Krauss. Morbid maybe, but stunningly sur-realistically beautiful - to me. These made their appearance on my old blog before, maybe they'll be more dramatic the second time around. Are you depressed now?
A very happy Good Friday and a wonderful Easter everyone!!

I used to say to these people: "So what if it *is* the end of the world?...." Ha! Just kidding. I think we should all focus on loving and caring for those who are in our life. One day at a time.

Yes, Dear, but did you repent for Good Friday, anyway?
If not, you are going straight to H-E-Double Hockey Sticks!

People here are always going on about repenting and the end of the world crap. It's the South so I guess it's to be expected. I've become numb to it actually.
Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful weekend too.
