the meat diaries (smile)

Dear Bologna,
Today i ate lunch alone. And survived. I did not think it could be done, but it can and i'm still here, with a full stomach anyway. Funny thing, as i went to sit at my booth to eat i heard The Eagle's song "Take It Easy" come on. Had to smile. Ironic memory it was. I never knew a smile could hurt.
Work was chaotic. But there is something divine about watching a sweet aged lady walk down the hallway with a stroller, head held high with a smile that looked like it has seen many days. Such strength is admirable, truly.
i'm beginning to see a theme here: SMILE.
speaking of, Uncle Kracker's new song 'Smile' makes me want to bust a move. seriously, what a tune
There is so much more to be done today but i think i'll finish it by saving an egg & cracking a smile! You should too!
Sincerely,
Your Salami.1

Here's a joke to get your lips started in that direction:2

A man dies and mets St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. Peter says to the man, "Here's how it works. You need to have one hundred points to get into heaven. You tell me about all the good things you've done. They are all worth a certain number of points. If your total is one hundred or more, you can come in."3

"Well," says the man. "I was happily married to the same woman for 52 years. I never looked at another woman. I was attentive and loved her dearly."4

"That's great," says St. Peter. "That'll be two points."5

"Hmmm," says the man. "This is going to be harder than I thought. Well, I attended church regularly, volunteered my time and tithed faithfully."6

"Wonderful," says St. Peter, "That's worth another point."7

"One point!" says the man. "Okay, okay. I was involved with a prison ministry for twenty-five years. I went into the prison, at least monthly, and shared Jesus with them."8

"Wow!" says St. Peter. "That's another two points!"9

"Only two points!" says the man. "At this rate, it'll be by the grace of God that'll I'll ever get into this place."10

"Bingo!" says St. Peter. "That's one hundred points! Come on in."11

    Dear Salami,
    Eating lunch alone could not possibly be that terrible. I'm glad to hear that you made it through okay. It seems to me that you love music. Remind you dear cousin that she must save up money for some coldplay cd's. Well Salami, I hope that you have a great rest of the day.
    Sincerely
    your Bologna

  • Dear Bologna, Last night my wonderful friend Alyssa & I had a discussion about everything we're thankful for. In a weird way, i'm thankful for being thankful...it's a good feeling and definitely a feeling i lack a lot of the time.

  • Dear Bologna, Today i realized how beautiful nature was. and then i hit it. a deer that is. i also learned to value the art of a child's hug. nothing else can be as wonderful as that feeling. also, grandparents are wise & time is short. so try to tell them how much they mean to you while we're still here on earth.
