MY FAIRLY ODD AND IRONIC SATURDAY

I woke up this morning with a weird jolt.

When I usually start Saturday with a heavy dose of caffeine and nicotine, this morning, I watered my plant. It was really strange, because 'watering my plant' is not part of my routine. I brewed up some coffee and munched on my chocolate-chip banana loaf, given by my student last Thursday, and browsed through my CDs.

While Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Gladys Knight and the Jackson 5 (yes, Motown) lured me in my morning bliss, I got this strange epiphany (or whatever you may want to call it) -- I want to start an informal school in the province, for the out-of-school youths. Strange. Really. Because such thought usually comes whenever I wanted to calm myself, and at that moment, I wasn't even stressed out. It just came to me out of the blue and I sincerely hoped to make it a reality.

And then bang! I received my first text. Whatever great feeling I felt since I woke up just vanished, as I entered the pin code on my cellphone. Damn technology.

No matter how hard I tried to recall that morning bliss, I just couldn't anymore. My mind got cluttered up by reminders of chores, work stuff, dental appointment and the need to clean up my apartment. Sigh.

So I started de-cluttering my place. I returned the DVDs in their right cases, including those I bought because of the Awards Season and pumped up the volume of my speakers. With the right mix of cigarettes, music and chocolates, I got all the work done, including my formerly-tobacco-smelling comfort room.

How I wish I didn't have to read that text message. It completely ruined my daydreaming, I hadn't experienced one, for a long time maybe because I keep burying myself at work. I have turned into the mechanical prick I've always hated, and I honestly lost track of my ideal nature.

Daydreaming was one talent I've always been proud of, because I was really good at it. I could hold more concerts that U2 and Eraserheads combined, build more properties than Donald Trump himself, fuck more people than Jeff Stryker, start a more promising tomorrow than Barack Obama, wage a more successful revolution than Che Guevarra and pose for more pictorials than Akihiro Sato.

That damn text message was the spoiler, and it only read "Good Morning".

Ironic huh.

ISSUES

Im full of issues. I know it sounds so magazine-like, but yes, I will admit, Im full of contradictions and constraints.

Issue # 1: The Precious Mornings
I consider my mornings as my Personal time. When I was younger, I used to just stare blankly and sip my coffee. Now that Im all grown up (I hope), I still consider my mornings as my personal space, an opportunity to think and plan the things for the day thoroughly and silently. I just want to be myself, and enjoy solitude. I know, it doesnt really sound weird, but you haven't really heard the rest. Things dont just stop there.

Every morning, I will go on about my usual routine - coffee and some other knick-knacks, like oreo. I will smoke, and enjoy the simple marriage of my non-extravagant pleasures, because they are all oriented into doing an important event - the CR dilemma-slash-spectacle. I usually dont want company during this time of the day, but sometimes we just have to live with it. It's of course, very difficult for me, because it will only mean one thing - pressure. I feel pressured that there is someone right there, enjoying my precious time. And that mere presence will not actually disrupt, but alter the balance and harmony of my usual routine. That for me, is Pressure and will have a great impact on...

Issue # 2: The CR dilemma-slash-spectacle.
My CR time is the 2nd most precious. It's my ultimate and sole moment for myself and for my universe. When Im there, I'm totally uninhibited. I can do things freely and non-guiltily. I am free on my thought, to wander incessantly over things that seem impossible. And I am alone. It's the only place where I can be truly alone.

If my second issue gets distracted, then Im all irritated the rest of the day. I can only redeem that moment when I finally go home, after work, and Im alone then again. Nobody will meddle my CR moment, even if I stay there for 30 minutes.

Issue # 3: The Uninterrupted 10 PM-Chill out
Starting 10 pm, I should be getting ready to sleep. This is the time when I start to brush and clean up, so that by 11pm, Im all set up for dozing off. People say Im all irate by this time, but I have valid and concrete reasons. By 10 pm, to complete that 6-8 hours of ample sleep, one must be getting ready for tomorrow. Or else, things will start to bite you off in the ass by the next morning - like pimples on your face, eye bags with matching dark circles and red eyes, and headache that will forever ruin your day. I just want to keep things in order. See?

CONSPIRACY

At last, more and more people are now becoming more aware of what REALLY happened to the World Center in New York. Fuck Bush and his allies.













All because he wanted to avenge his father, and other vested interests like OIL... Tsk tsk tsk...

MORE ABOUT JESUS and THE BIBLE

There are actually more unpublished and secret gospels -- by Thomas the Apostle, Mary Magdalene, Gospel of Truth, the Secret Book of John, by Peter and the Gospel of the Savior.

The Second Discourse of Great Seth, however, claims that the True Jesus Christ was never crucified.

All of these books and gospels were totally scraped off the Bible, when Irenaeus (Bishop of Lyon) deemed them blaphemous and all. It's all part of the master and grand plan to make Christianity the foremost and leading religion that time, around 380 AD (when it became the official religion of the empire). And this includes the elimination of all possible competition and "blasphemous" groups.

GOSPEL OF JUDAS

So, there's another Gospel. There's actually nothing wrong with this news, what's really surprising is the fact that the "good news" actually comes from the mouth of the greatest villain this world has ever known -- Judas Iscariot.

Yes, that guy who kissed Jesus Christ and sold him out for a bag full of silver. The same guy whose name connotes the Jewish people, and from whom Anti-Semitism (hatred of Jews) stemmed out. Judas is also a name synonymous to "evil", hence greatly demeaning anyone who gets on a jeepney, and does not pay (HUDAS NOT PAY). According to NatGeo, in Germany, it is prohibited and unlawful to even name a child "Judas". For those who read Inferno, Judas was eaten by Satan himself, thus establishing a much celebrated diabolical image of the apostle.

Now, what's the deal with this new gospel? Ala lang, it just goes to show the early history of Christianity -- that back then, centuries before the official recognition of Christianity as a formal religion by Constantine, there were a lot of sects and forms of this religion. A lot of Gospels were in existence too, including the recent one by Judas and the lesser-known by Thomas. Its just that the religion underwent a lot of "facelifts" throughout the centuries, and the core/essence of it seemed to wither just like any civilization. Judas may not be that evil guy we were accustomed with, but he definitely loved Jesus and respected him. People cannot (or wouldn't) just accept it because its pretty weird and it shows a different relationship between the "Messiah" and Judas Iscariot.

The bottomline: there isn't really anything shocking about this find. It's understandable, I bet they're going to find a lot more gospels to add up to this toll. Maybe it's about time that the Catholic Church starts admitting, answering and recognizing all those controversy surrounding them. But then again, if they do this, we'll see the demise and fall of this institution. But what the heck, the truth will set us all free. It's very mature though that after the release of this Gospel, they only regarded this as just one-of-your-extraordinary-stories of Jesus Christ.

The implications and repercussions though, of the Judas stigma, cannot just be erased from History. It resulted to a slaughter of millions of people, pointless religious and non-religious wars and unending terrorism. However, it is not too late, we can still change the world.

Im thinking of scrutinizing the Catholic church again, but I simply do not have time. And that's a whole different story.
