Guess what's it called? > >I was way behind on my email and just deleted most of it... I missed this part >about Brian hating angels. Why? That was a little out of context. I don't hate angels themselves. In fact, I would quite enjoy discussing them with someone who (unlike me) is well-versed in the mythology and folklore (the ancient kind) of angels. Here's what I wrote while you were away: "I'll meet you half-way (or maybe a bit more). I'm sick AND tired of angels. Theologically, they're an interesting enough subject, although I don't necessarily believe in them. But enough already! When I was in the 'States, there were angels every-freakin'-where, and often totally out of any religious context whatsoever! They've been--depending on your point of view--either elevated or reduced to the status of pop icons. Anyone remember "Date with an Angel?" Ugh! I don't want to see any more angel movies or TV shows. ("Neon Genesis Evangelion" was, however, an interesting interpretation.) And I don't want to hear them used in any more secular music--especially songs by my hero, Basia."

Oh, but you know you're only there temporarily (there's a light at the end of the tunnel)... tweak that attitude some and enjoy yourself while you're there. See the sights, check out the natives, explore the world according to the Japanese. Who knows if you'll ever get the chance again. > That was a little out of context. I don't hate angels themselves. In fact, I > would quite enjoy discussing them with someone who (unlike me) is > well-versed in the mythology and folklore (the ancient kind) of angels. I'm not versed in mythology nor folklore, but I believe in angels... always have, always will. I don't believe in that new age crap (sorry, don't mean to offend anybody) where people believe they can talk to their guardian angel, have them "come forth" (whatever) when they want to see them, have the angels do their bidding, etc, etc. I believe they're messengers/helpers/servants of God, and should remain that way... not some "middle man" I want to intervene on my behalf when I need help. Besides, why bother with the middle man when you can go straight to the boss? :-) > Waiting to be struck by lightning, > -Brian* ;-) LOL!
