Wilco - You and I (feat. Feist)
You and I, we might be strangers
However close we get, sometimes, it’s like we’ve never met
December 2009
I was home this week, so I went to Church.
Twice. Once for Christmas, and once for Sunday.
This Sunday’s gospel was the one about Jesus getting lost in Jerusalem and his parents finding him in the temple. An ordinary, everyday scenario that might be familiar to any family— the anxiety of separation, the relief when finding your child mixed with the desire to backhand the little snot when he cops a ‘tude.
The priest gave this great homily, talking about how most people aren’t destined for grand religious gestures, but rather live out their faith in a more mundane everyday way— by being generous, compassionate, kind, patient, and humble in everyday life. I love that. That’s my Catholicism. The right winger Catholics can take their their abortion-mongering, gay hating, co-opted religion with a political agenda and shove it. I ain’t interested in bending the world to God’s supposed will through political force. I’ll focus my efforts on the small everyday virtues, thank you very much.

Sexual Assault Prevention Tips Guaranteed to Work!
1. Don’t put drugs in people’s drinks in order to control their behavior.
2. When you see someone walking by themselves, leave them alone!
3. If you pull over to help someone with car problems, remember not to assault them!
4. NEVER open an unlocked door or window uninvited.
5. If you are in an elevator and someone else gets in, DON’T ASSAULT THEM!
6. Remember, people go to laundry to do their laundry, do not attempt to molest someone who is alone in a laundry room.
7. USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! If you are not able to stop yourself from assaulting people, ask a friend to stay with you while you are in public.
8. Always be honest with people! Don’t pretend to be a caring friend in order to gain the trust of someone you want to assault. Consider telling them you plan to assault them. If you don’t communicate your intentions, the other person may take that as a sign that you do not plan to rape them.
9. Don’t forget: you can’t have sex with someone unless they are awake!
10. Carry a whistle! If you are worried you might assault someone “on accident” you can hand it to the person you are with, so they can blow it if you do.
