May 31, 2007 >> Two men I don't-didn't know

So not much has happened lately; or, alternately, a LOT has happened and I just don't feel like writing about it.

But a guy pulled me aside from a busy intersection the other day and very calmly explained to me that all this *gesturing at skyscrapers* would be our downfall. We would be punished like little children, probably by the Russians. He said that churches were devilish because they've forgotten the snippets of Jesus that dealt with abandoning your worldly possessions and working for love and love alone. The pamphlet he gave me had a picture of an American dollar bill on fire.

It is somewhat terrifying that, in the moment, all of this made perfect sense.

And then in the subway station another guy (in a Hawaiian shirt) swore at us and said we were too loud, that we were giving him a headache. He was crazy. Sometimes headaches mean SEVERE NEUROSIS. I wondered what it would be like if he had tried to throw me in front of a train. Is that automatic entry to heaven, if some fucking psycho murders you because you were too noisy? Are you forgiven for all that you've bought?
