so the other day at work i made the comment to matt about how everything we strive for in this life is futile. wealth, knowledge, connection. all futile in that when we die, none of those things go with us. they all get left behind. and now he makes fun of me by putting on a "mcclain" voice and saying things like "oh. everything is pointless cuz we're gonna die. i shouldn't put effort into anything. blah blah blah."
i keep telling him he missed the point. just because it's futile, doesn't mean there isn't any point in trying. quite on the contrary. i think the fact that as flawed human beings who are destined to fail makes trying all the more beautiful. there's glory in a lost cause.
COMING SOON: i'm going to be writing a blog about the whole ninjas vs. pirates situation.
but i want to wait to do it until i've had a little bit to drink, that way i can be as hurtful as possible towards the pirate side of the line. why? CAUSE NINJAS FREAKIN' RULE!!!

Ninjas suck their thumbs and wet the bed.
I agree. It's inevitable that we will all die. However, its what you do in the mean time that makes it worth while. If we all sat around saying crap I wonder if im going to die today it'd be pretty effing depressing.
What MATTERS is if Christ is the center of our lives. That's what makes the difference between pointless and futile.
my point exactly, erin.
Say me bucko, why don't you haul in the sheets and drop iron over here for that drinkin'? We can bust a keg a keg of rum and then you can unsheath your vile maledicta toward the pirate life on my very keyboard.

P.S. then when we're good and swaggerin' we can shoot gumballs in the air with my wrist-rocket! Yaaar!
So you agree that ninjas suck their thumbs and wet the bed?
McClain,
Pirates only suck until they steal your samurai sword and tie you up with your own numchucks, and make you watch as they drink all your saki and write a new song about it, since all the good rum songs have been written.

p.s. I know they're not actually "numchucks," but they just go so well with your "Voltron" t-shirt...
Mark, tell me when and I'll be there ready for the drinkin' and shootin'. Even though I'm an internal ninja, I enjoy hanging out with pirates. A sword's a sword, right?
Yar, Kristi be right about that fer sartain and I will be tellin ya's when the drink offer to the ninja lad be taken up, unless it be 'if' rather than 'when'...
