HOUSESITTER BLUES

It's 4:20, so I'm blowed. I'm low-tolerance joe, i get stoned off one j, cuz my name is j stone.
Jake is housesitting for someone and I spent the night here.  It's mid-afternoon and I'm sleepy
"like a motherfucker." I need my full ten hours baby cuz I'm a slug. fo twanky pee em and I'm
missin X-Files. Gillian Anderson can suck on this j, sex style.
Listen to me: avoid the imperative when writing.
I still like that and if you don't, you're a bitch.
I've been watching anime for about an hour; I slept on a recliner last night wrapped up in a
Mickey Mouse blanket. Taco Bell for breakfast at 12:30 pm. Slightly flat soda. No toothbrush.
The man of this house loves H.P. Lovecraft and pornography. He's my kind of dude.
No homo.
Jake drank a beer with his burrito, which I thought was kind of gross.
Dos Equis and soy-meat wrapped in a perpetually soft tortilla.  Will he ever stop drinking?
Crazy Irish.
I've been back for a full week now. I was in Illinois just outside of Iowa. Did you miss me?
I missed you "with a passion."
The Messianic Hope was a sort of insanity plaguing the Jewish people around 37 BC, when it
hit its peak. They were crazy, attributing crop failure and despotism to the wrath of God. In
all things great and small they saw the terrible hand of God. They started reading into the
scriptures way too much, and eventually they invested all their hope of reaching Heaven in a
few "elite" saints. These elite by adhering to the Law of God could save all of Mankind. It was
up to these people. In this way did they both remain faithful to God and relieve the burden off
of themselves, shifting it onto a few people who followed God religiously, so to speak.
To relieve even more pressure, their perspective began to change from following God to waiting
for the Messiah.
The Messianic Hope. Around 1 BC, they would have accepted anybody. Imagine a hysteria like that
of the Salem Witch trials, only with people looking for a savior. It bleeds into everyday life,
for decades. Centuries.
Psychologically abnormal thought processes occur.
Think of our modern middle eastern terrorists. Something gives.
Then Jesus comes.
Was he the Messiah?
Does it matter?
