Our TIVO has never been taken up. But today, I was cleaning it out because it got to the gross percentage of "44% space left". Of all things to hate doing, one of mine is cleaning out the TIVO, especially when there are 8 or 10 episodes of a show from 2 years ago that I will never watch and the person who recorded them forgets about them. So today I took a trip back to 2009 and although I didn't want to do this daunting task, there were some things that struck a sentimental chord. Two of the items I deleted were Marley and Me and Mamaduke. Both of those movies made me cry, and even though I can't remember if I was on my period or not, I am pretty sure that I would have cried anyway. I just love dogs, what can I say?
Before my clearing out party, which made me think of the title for this entry, I was at the gym. Being that I am never home anymore and I pretty much work my ass off all day, current events are not things that I keep up on. However, when I was listening to Jordin Sparks (baby steps, remember?) and walking on the treadmill, the news was on and there was a very sad story about a church in Hacienda Heights burning down just before Palm Sunday. Then, reading the captions, I realized that this was an act of anger. This was intentional.
I don't give a FAT FUCK what your religion is, this just made me sick. And the testimonials from all of the church-goers were enough to bring tears to my eyes. On the treadmill, my eyes went from "Don't Let It Go to Your Head" go with the gusto determination to Droopy the Dog. I am honestly surprised I didn't fall off.
I heard last week that there was a synagogue that was intentionally burned down. Unfortunately (fortunately for some people) I am rendered completely speechless.
