The Plight of the Unicorn / Melon Heresy at its Finest

Ok, so I like t shirts. Put me in jail. I don't have enough. Truth be told, I could probably get a spare dresser full of t shirts and it wouldn't be enough...

Anyhow, I like funky t shirts but not too funky. This site, threadless.com has t shirts for $10 every once and a while, so i got two. One of them was this: entitled: biblical disaster.

She immediately thought I was mocking God. Sure it combines intriguing elements of Noah's Ark, the sinking of the Titanic (note the iceberg) and more importantly, note who is not making it into the lifeboat...No that is not the unsinkable Molly Brown, it is a Unicorn.

To me, this is average Melon fare for explaining why there are no Unicorns today. A pretty good story using known elements. Most of my stories are like this.

But to Mel, she sees it as proof we'll not be hanging out together in the great beyond (I suspect she believes my ticked is punched for an alternate destination...)

Then again, it is just a t shirt...right? We'll see if I get stoned (people throwing rocks at me, not me getting baked, not me getting in an oven, getting high, no not on a plane...sheesh...). What do you think? Will you be throwing rocks at me? (please limit your theoretical rock throwing for reasons limited to this shirt). Thanks.

-truth be told (and really this is just me trying to avoid the silent treatment from Mel) I suspect she only got a glimpse of the sinking ark. And really, there are life boats so I still don't know what the big deal is...

Just make sure on your death bed, to accept "the Lord Jesus" into your heart and you will be washed clean of your sins...

really, at that point, what do you have to lose?

todays survey

Since you all have done so well with the past two surveys I've taken ( another shirt slogan for Dad and do you get full eating salad or just bored ), here is another: If you eat, say, a bag full of fortune cookies - and I am not saying I have - do they all come true or just a first/last rule? Do they all negate if you eat more than one? Anyone? Bueller?

And now we are One!!!!

Who would have thought: you would keep reading after day 3? I would keep writing after day 2? (see http://robertwmason.blogspot.com/ for reference) that you would get anything out of this? that I would get anything out of this? that I would make 250 posts into this thing..? And "get" I did. Last month, I signed my first contract for a writing position (in my free time) with a Rhode Island magazine. I used many excerpts from my blog as samples and they dug it, enough to want to pay me. I am very excited about that. A big thank you to all of you that keep reading that misadventures of my family, friends and I. The journey thus far has been fun and giving you a bird-eye view into our lives is weirdly fun. At first it was like walking around naked, now I am a full fledged nudist; so to speak. In looking back over the first year, I live like a king. Sometimes all it takes is a bit of reflection to see how good you've got it. Usually this hits me on business trips and ...

How I'll probably die

My new thing has gotten me running, yes running, the past week without complaint and without watching the clock. Unfortunately, the high-risk fringe sport will probably have Ian find me at the end of the treadmill runway, twisted, with a guitar slung from my neck. What is it you ask? Some kind of Mariachi Marathon? Close. Running while playing Guitar Hero is the greatest thing since running with my buddy Jeff. Come to think of it, that really was just running with someone calling you, "fatty" the whole time, but I digress. Running while jamming on guitar trying desperately to keep up with great hits like "American Women" and the surprisingly fitting, "Band on the run". See what I did there? Anyhow, it is freaking amazing. No longer are my eyes glued to the maddening clock. No longer am looking at data (which I seem to hate when it is counting my exercise), I am playing a game. I am a Rock God when I run. Now, I know what you are thinking. Being a...
