Of crucifixion and congress.

I started watching the debates, but gave up because it was frustrating that there’s no way to tell who’s statements are accurate, while being pretty convinced that none of them are. Chomper forwarded this to me. It’s helpful. Too bad I still don’t really care.

Went to D.C. on a trip with library science students this weekend. Was subjected to National Treasure at 7am when all I wanted to do was look at the fog atop the Laurel Highlands. The entire trip was a bust; it was humid and nasty and the tour of the Library of Congress would’ve been better if it was lead by an actual docent and not some random friend-of-a-friend who was just pulling facts out of her ass. The architecture was nice. Maybe I’ll post pictures, eventually. I’m behind on picture uploading. On the way home from D.C. I was listening to the radio (trying to drown out The Librarian) and came across a Christian station that was playing this:

holy crap. some of my favorite lyrical snippets:

“The world’s trying to tidy up, exfoliate they skin
but only Christ can come and exfoliate they sin”

“he bruised his son”

“The crucifixion was pretty grim”

    Reading this post was like an emotional roller coasters. You sound direly in need of a hug, or a cup of coffee or something, for the first half or so, then you bust out the sweetest song on earth and everything is right again.

    Also, I kind of like that we never managed to get your tags to list with punctuation correctly because it sort of reads like found poetry now

    Christian rap debates fact checking fanatics
    film Jesus
    lame movies

    I’m pretty content with the tag situation. I feel seeing them is more important than linking them since one can always use the tag cloud. Glad you liked the song. I’m hoping to have time to listen to more of his stuff and be similarly wowed. Hopefully. I will never get over my enjoyment of Christian music that imitates mainstream trends, and does it well. (like this, perhaps)
