God never gives you more cold rain than you can handle. God never allows you to miss a bus. God never allows the next bus to speed past because you were waiting in the bus shelter and obviously didn't want it bad enough. God never allows the "next stop" button on the bus that finally, grudgingly picks you up to be broken so that you go past your stop and have to walk home in the weather like some kind of animal.
Instead, God gives you Ikea. This must be the case, because you do not buy Ikea, not out of some kind of Fight-Clubby objection to 20-something nesting patterns, but rather because Ikea is a little out of your league. (Your league is the stolen milkcrates league. You play the sandy mattress on the floor league in the world series of crap.)
God gives you Ikea through your housemate's relatives who no longer wish to own shabby items of furniture. God gives you Ikea in the alleys near your home, by way of wasteful art students. God gives you Ikea when you least expect it: you have to open your heart to Ikea.
How do you repay God? By laughing when the cat is mad that it's raining. By eating cake for breakfast. By leaving the breakroom door open when you know people are cussin'.
God is very disappointed in you. posted by Frenzy Lohan | 12/01/2004 08:41:00 PM
