I Like to Bitch!
All right, eeeverybody's talking about The Da Vinci Code right now. There's a ton of conflict over it, people love it, people hate it... I'm kind of in between. I haven't seen it, haven't read the book, but you barely need to when there's so much buzz about it.
What bugs me most about tThe Da Vinci Code is the hype. People are actually believing this stuff, and other people are saying it's blasphemy. What everyone seems to be missing is that The Da Vinci Code is a story. There's no real proof behind this stuff! And who the hell is Dan Brown anyway? He's a guy who wants to make a living off of a book, off of a fictional story. He is not a historian, or a member of the clergy. So what makes people these days think that Mr. Brown knows better than the guys who actually knew Jesus? I don't contest the New Testament (except maybe some of the letters and Revelations, but not the bit about Jesus) because these guys were there. They saw it all. Well, aside from Luke's little nativity story. Some dude 2000 years later with no credentials is not going to suddenly reveal the truth to us all. It's just a bunch of hype for selling books and tickets so Mr. Brown can live the life he's always dreamed of.
Also, what's with the name? The Da Vinci Code? Um, anyone realize that "Da Vinci" means "of Vinci"? It's not a last name. Leonardo didn't even know his father. As someone said (my dad mentioned it the other day), calling Leonardo Da Vinci "Da Vinci" is the same as calling Lawrence of Arabia "Of Arabia". That is my language-loving argument against this whole thing.

Oh yeah, the other day I got to start working in the office. I have my own cubicle and my own nametag that opens doors... WHOO! I'm so excited. I have no idea why, because it's a boring-as-hell job. But I get to decorate my cubicle! How cool is that?! And I'm making money! Awesomeness!
And, maybe maybe if God has nothing better to do at the time, we will go to NYC to see the Pillows. *crosses fingers*
