Serenity NOW


What’s going on with people? They’re so absurd and not the funny kind. 

Like the fighter Miguel Torres. His personal website is one big nonsensical mishmash of whatever: watch videos of Miguel making tacos on Sunday nights, watch him cut hair, teach kids how to warm up, go to the chiropractor, and illustrate the best attacks from the side. Don’t forget he’s a jokester who posted this to twitter: "If a rape van was called a surprise van, more women wouldn’t mind going for rides in them. Everyone likes surprises."

Know what else is really stupid? Thomas Kinkade, the painter and evangelical Christian who owned a factory that churned out his paintings “of light”. He had some recent troubles—other than dying—that included behaving inappropriately with women and urinating on a Winnie the Pooh figure at the Disneyland Hotel.

Yeah, you heard that right.

God grant me the serenity to ignore the Miguel Torreses and Thomas Kinkades of the world. The courage to be oblivious to current events and the wisdom to know which shoe goes on which foot.
