Progress.

The thing I hate about buying any sort of tech gadget is that you begin to be painfully aware of its almost immediate obsolescence.  I bought a digital camera for my trip a while back, and now I read these ads and articles about the next generation of digital cameras that will be five megapixels, and six megapixels, and in late 2005 an eight megapixel camera with 10x optical zoom that also captures a piece of its subject’s soul—which can be handy if you snap a picture of your grandmother and later want to know the secret of that pot roast she made, so you just ask the camera and a disembodied voice answers “It’s all in the paprika, sweetheart.”

the paprika was a FAMILY SECRET, young man.  is nothing sacred with your generation?

What happens when you point it at someone with no soul, like Courtney Love, for example?

Politics won’t matter in the long run; Heaven or Hell will matter in the long run: We’re so disgruntled with our Finite Existence, we forget God. REPENTANCE isn’t difficult, folks. Respect Jesus (thus, vice-versa).

I bet Jesus would use a turn signal…

I bet Jesus would have waited for the 10 megapixel camera to come out before buying one… being a fisherman of men’s souls ‘n’ stuff.

heh, christian comment spam. that’s new to me.

I used to have a camera that captured souls but unfortunately it couldn’t take normal pictures. I’d come back from vacation and make everyone sit through my slideshow of out-of-focus souls.

I think I’m forced to leave the Christian comment spam alone because my post did talk about souls, and therefore it’s somewhat on topic. Besides, the whole phrase “We’re so disgruntled with our Finite Existence” makes me giggle.

God’s had a 10 megapixel camera since the beginning of time.  He takes pictures of souls, then burns them onto CD for easy storage.

I see him down at Best Buy all the time, although it’s mostly just when CD racks are on sale.

The Red Sox winning the World Series, Christian spammers, Greg actually buying a digital camera, dogs and cats living together: IT’S THE APOCALYPSE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.  PLEASE DO NOT CROWD THE LIFEBOATS.
