Unfit..in a good way..On Sunday Morning

9 11 2008

Doing things out of the usual…that’s kind of our thing here at “Unfit.”

So it’s perfect that just a couple hours ago, I attended a Quaker church service. And no…it bears no relation to my desire to meet the guy on the oatmeal box. Slightly to my dismay, nobody wore an oversized hat or rocked a beard. They were normal, friendly, old, and genuinely good people.

This was for a class. I’m not sure if I would have that much spontaneity to just wake up and attend a Quaker church. Since I can’t take that much credit, this was for a Religion in America assignment that was casually prodding over my head for months. Luckily, that’s now out of the way.

Fortunately, the service was well worth it.

I won’t go into too much detail, but I enjoyed sitting in the silence. Watching an occasional person speak. Listening to the creaking benches. Listening to rustles, coughs…dentures. It was a good time. Nothing like I had ever grown up with at Catholic mass. And because it was so atypical, so….unfit…I just had to share.

Go Quaker.

I’m surprised a crowd didn’t gather…

Letterman crams a whole lot of Spidermen (and a few other choice selections) into a Jamba Juice.

Election Hangover

9 11 2008

It’s been a couple of days since the most historic election in our nation’s history, but I bet you still feel a bit tired.  Maybe your head still hurts from the jubilation that night, or the bitter taste of defeat.  However, all of that is now behind us and it’s time to move on.  But that doesn’t mean the secrets of that night won’t be revealed.  In the Washington Post this week, they admitted that their coverage of Obama was biased compared to McCain.

Oops.

At least some escapades from that fateful night are supposed to stay secret.  Sure, you’ll remember the good things, and would soon want to forget the bad.  Just ask Sarah Palin about that.  I mean, there’s been reports that the GOP was unhappy with how she ran the election.

I guess after a wild night, you really know who your friends are.

But it’s okay.  We’ll all make it through this hangover together.  Just drink some water and get lots of rest.

Someday you’ll put it all behind you and have a laugh.
