cause i can't wait much longer

When I was young, I took a CCD class (catholic school class) where my teacher in 2nd grade told us that in the year 2000, the world was going to explode in fire and we would all die and go and be judged for if we could get into heaven or hell.
She said one day God would be so sad about what was happening in our world that he would have to end it all to start over again.

So my second grade self hears this and is petrified. I had nightmares about it, I kept thinking, "I don't want to die when I'm only 16 years old" and I thought about how I'd want to be with my family. Then I thought about Noah and how Noah was approached to make the boat so he and his family could survive. So I started to hope that perhaps God would ask my dad to build a fire proof building so we could survive.

By the time it was 1999, and it was New Years Eve, I kinda knew nothing bad would happen, but still, there was a part of me that was scared that maybe - just maybe - something would happen.

After soccer practices when I was younger, my dad and I would drive home and there was a point that we turned onto main street when the sun was going down and it looked like fire in the sky. That always depressed me cause it reminded me of my year 2000 fate.

That woman should have lost her job, for real.

this picture reminds of the Wizard of Oz. The Wizard of Oz reminds of of the movie OZ. OZ reminds me of both the hbo show and of Michael Jackson. Those thoughts are more terrifying than your fire and brimstone. God should come down on principle alone for both of those. But the question then becomes, would he bring Jesus juice?

"Keep on down the road" my ass....pervert!


but its a nice picture.
