Ramen

I have heard this song so many times and like only 10 amazingly lucky people in the world have ever stumbled across it, so I thought I had to share it with you. This is a little tune that cracks me up every single time. Some collage friend of my dad, Jeff Zweirs, wrote it. It is a strangely romantic ballad about freeze-dried, sodium enriched instant soup. The song is the most remarkable thing. Actually the whole CD is tremendously, awesomely hilarious…maybe ill post more of his stuff at a later time. This little beauty here is entitled “Ramen”

RAMEN

“Light the stove I need some Ramen
Can u see it written in my eyes?
Light it up cause I’m longingFor a soup freeze-dried
When I see the beautiful Ramen steam, it’s paradise
Rising from a dream from the hot hot springs
In the cool moon light
Every single night, I feel so cold
You know my little heart is covered with snow
I need something warm to fill my soul,
I need tat kind of love, that special kind of love that comes in a bowl
I need some…

Well I think it’s a mighty big shame when people eat in restaurants
They don’t know the peace and joy of a Ramen meal ambience
When you’re down, just call my name and in 3 minutes I’ll be there
Just make sure the waters boiling and in your kitchen there’s a spare package of…

Oh poverty is what you need
To understand what it means to be free
Just give everything away, and then you can stay
In my world of Ramen
Until the break of dayAnd we’ll have…

RamRamRamenenen RamRamRamen, RamRamRamenenenRam-----------en (2x)

Ramen in my veins, Ramen on my brain,
Ramen upstairs, Ramen everywhere,
Ramen in the night, Ramen’s so right,
I’m a member of the Ramen Empire.

Chicken, pork or shrimp, I don’t care,
Just want to see that Ramen steam in the air (2x)

RamRamRamenenen RamRamRamen,
RamRamRamenenenRam-----------enRamRamRamenenen RamRamRamen, RamRamRamenenenRam-----------en Ramen…Ramen…Ramen…”

Adam and Eve...in all their sinful glory?

Ok, so this was the status message of a friend of mine one day: "Here's a strange thought, without Adam and Eve having sinned, we wouldn't be able to go to heaven. Because with sin, came death. And without dying, there'd be nowhere to go. Strange thought...what're yours?" The statements made did not agree with my theology one bit, and I wanted to tell him so, but I haven’t had time to compose concrete facts and evidences against his "strange thought" and why it is so off kilter. I thought that I would put it out there rally the help of my troops to help me come up with a counter to this statement. Please let me know your view, opinion, thought and conclusion on this here item of business. I will be forever indebted =D

Touché
Touché - “To acknowledge a hit in fencing or the success of an argument, an accusation or witty point .”
A friend of mine, whose mind is placed on a very profound and philosophical thought track, randomly brought up a question in conversation the other day: “can you touché yourself?” This question was gently glossed over and the conversation went on without acknowledgement of the question, but I personally haven’t glossed over it. It hit home to hard. Please comfort me and tell me I am not the only one who can present a perfectly valid argument, and not 10 minutes later lose that argument to myself. It’s like I can debate myself in circles and poke holes in every thought, answering my questions with answers that bring up questions that I have answered and then those questions and answers which are still in question, and let us not forget those questions that have no answer and those perfectly sagacious answers which have no question. I find it rather exasperating to say the least. Especially when this questioning thing is brought into matters of spiritual nature, when I pursue an answer that will never be found in our finite minds, it tends to give birth to doubt, which is not…good. If I have lost you, then I present my humblest apologies, but I for one know exactly what I am talking about. This post as a whole I would “touché”, but I thought I would put it out there for rumination.

*Notice -- Disclaimer

My therapist says I need to talk more. For the record i am rather talkative and somtimes rather boisterious with those i call friends. All the same in attempt to please her, I decided to construct a blog so could evade verbally expressing myself yet still obtain partial favor in her eyes. I will try my best to let my conjured up paltry posts make this far , as I tend to argue, contradict, gainsay and negate my thoughts until they are pointless in my mind to share. I do not claim to have insight or knowledge of or on such matters I banter about. Anything profound or helpful that results is a testimony to my Almighty Creator working through a jar of clay, a loaf of unsliced bread. Also, I would like to add that I enjoy discussion, conversation and tête-à-tête and do not want to type your ears off, so please leave comments and such, for the sake of my mental health
