2.5 Weeks and Counting

Two words: May Madness.

It's coming.

It's coming much like Y2K came and went, with all of its anticipatory pomp, all of its promised apocalyptic chaos, all of its immanent destruction only to let the world down after having compiled storehouses of vienna sausages, bottled water, and ammunition. Just like Y2K...

It's coming.

It's coming much like Star Wars 1: The Phantom Menace, with its hordes of fans waiting on and camping out upon concrete sidewalks wrapped around movie theaters, dressed up like Darth Vader and wielding light sabers, exchanging a sleepless night for a promised ticket into the opening prequel of a pre-trilogy (which featured our culture's most hated character ever - Jar Jar). Just like Star Wars 1...

It's coming.

It's coming much like the downfall of Macaulay Culkin, with his instant, worldwide stardom as an 8-year-old in Home Alone, his follow-up flops and bad career decisions, his late night alcohol and drug binges as an 11-year-old, and the fact that he is named Macaulay (who names their kid "Macaulay"?). Just like the downfall of Macaulay Culkin...

It's coming. In 2.5 weeks the Madness of May begins. One a day for all of May.
(And whatever happened to Jonathan Taylor Thomas???)

My faith in Matthryn is renewed. May it not disappointed. Pun intended.

Um. i mean disappoint. Never type in swirling chaos. Accidents and typos and dangling participles are bound to occur. Word to the wise, yo.

it's coming like the tidal flood beneath the lunar sway: imperial, mysterious, in amorous array.

Does May Madness have anything to do with being in seminary?

i've been thinking of nothing else this whole long winter.

I believe it was the effect of May Madness that led to..."once a month for the rest of the year." You have some writing to do, bring forth the joy.

Yay! I'm excited. And I think JTT works in the copy area of an Office Depot.
