Boring...

It has been a while since I put the word "Boring" on my MSN status...

And suddenly, a friend of mine gave me this disturbing yet amusing song...

Saturday Night...
We look alright...
We're going out...
Boring...

Paris, France...
Londontown...
NYC...
Boring...

Nothing thrills us anymore...
No one kills us anymore...
Life is such a chore...
When it's...
Boring...

Sexy boy...
Girl on girl...
Menage a trois...
Boring...

Marijuana...
Cocaine...
Heroin...
Boring...

Galliano...
Donatella...
Dolce & Gabbana...
Boring...

Caviar...
Escargot...
Dom Perignon...
Boring...

Love of my life...
Bear your child...
Everything I've ever wanted...
Boring...


Oh by the way, French word “menage a trois” means threesome...

About forty days ago, I met j s in land of the lion. I asked how he's been doing as both a husband and future father. He replied "Life has many dimensions...it depends on which dimension you live in... There are parallel dimensions in the universe..."

I cut him in and said "...and all dimensions gravitate towards the black hole...center of nothingness...and hence everything is vanity..." He agreed excitedly.

However, I added another remark, "and so He died in vain..."

He then uttered a few nonsense... Yet, both of us knew the contradiction between our statements and the work of the cross...

Why is it called “Good Friday”? What is so good about it? Was this a day when stockmarket rebounded and broke 52 year high? And what about the other Fridays?

What is so special about this particular Friday?...

It was the day when the sun hid its face for three hours (a solar eclipse would only last in minutes)...

It was the day when the earth shook and trembled in terror (a stockmarket crash would not create earthquakes)...

It was the day when a loving relationship was broken...for the first time in eternity...

All these...for what???...

For the singer of the song above…
For countless of people who’d rather die than live…
For j s…
For me…

To know that a single drop of His blood…could make a difference…

Between emptiness and fullness…
Between meaninglessness and meaningfulness…
Between nothingness and completeness…
Between insignificance and grandness...

Sigh...

I came that you may have and enjoy life and have it in abundance...
