Jealous Jesus

Hey, how’s it going? I just thought I would drop a line and see what you were up to. Didn’t mean to surprise you or anything I just haven’t seen or heard from you for a while. So what have you been up to? JK, I know exactly what you have been up to and guess what: I-don’t-like-it. Don’t worry though, I forgive you, maybe.

I just feel like we don’t talk or visit anymore and I don’t know why. I know about your new job, you think I don’t know that. I helped you get that job, and one of the main reasons I did was so you would have time to stop by my place on Sundays, which has yet to happen. Is it me? I don’t think so, cause I haven’t changed much, same old savior that BLED on the CROSS for you, same old JC that reigns over heaven in eternal wisdom and love. Don’t be fooled by the flocks that I got, I’m still, I’m Still JC from the cross.

You think you’re clever, you think I don’t notice the way you have been looking for answers elsewhere lately. I will tolerate a little promiscuous piousness here and there but you are crossing the line. Why is it so hard for you to believe in me? It didn ‘t used to be. What’s so great about these new friends of yours? What do Steve and Phil have that I don’t? I know for a fact that they don’t care for me and what really hurts is that it doesn’t seem to bother you. If you like them so much why don’t you worship them? No, go ahead and build a little place, a chapel for Steve and Phil, and then every Sunday you can go to your Steve and Phil church and thank them for all that they have sacrificed for you.

You think I will care, but I won’t. I can replace you in a heartbeat. There’s millions of people who would love to worship at my feet and millions more who already do. So go have fun with your false idols but don’t come crawling back to me when you need help with your job, or your love life, or when your mom’s cancer comes back cause I won’t be there for you. I will be too busy with people who really get me, like you used to. Cause one thing I am not gonna do is be taken for granted, I am better than that- I deserve more.

Wow, it took me a long time to realize that I don’t have to bend over backward to accommodate everyone in the hopes that they will accept me as their personal salvation. The days of talking bushes and parting seas are over my friend, I am not going out of my way to prove my righteousness to you or any of my 6 billion children.

Just know that the love I had for you Bill, is something I don’t know if I can ever give to another human. And know that you may be responsible for that, you-Bill Hutchkins of Omaha. I want you to know, Bill, that I will always forgive, but never forget. I tell you that in the hopes that some day, some glourious day, I will have my Bill Hutchkins of Omaha back, for good.

Pandora - Listen Up

Although I was aware of Pandora and the Music Genome Project, up until this morning I had yet to take it for a solid test-run. Why the fuck did I wait so long?!

Here’s the basic gist: 1) Go to Pandora.com 2) Type in the name of an artist you like (I chose Atmosphere) 3) Pandora plays a song by the artist you choose and follows that with songs by other artists you might enjoy, similar to the one you specified. By the way, it’s free and works without any downloads or other technical bullshit. Very easy.

From Pandora..

“With Pandora you can explore this vast trove of music to your heart’s content. Just drop the name of one of your favorite songs or artists into Pandora and let the Genome Project go. It will quickly scan its entire world of analyzed music, almost a century of popular recordings - new and old, well known and completely obscure - to find songs with interesting musical similarities to your choice. Then sit back and enjoy as it creates a listening experience full of current and soon-to-be favorite songs for you.”

All of the music chosen by Pandora has been great, including the song below, Push by Common Market. Click over to Pandora now. You will not be disappointed.
