What If God Was One Of Us?
and other monday musings

Interesting question raised by a co-worker today during the course of time-killing conversation.

What if God really was walking around the streets of Earth, in human form? You know, much like as Alanis did in "Dogma"? What would He / She look like? What would He / She do with His / Her day?

Some interesting possibilities raised by the two of us included both Jenna Jameson (wonder who raised THAT one ...) and of course Alanis Morrisette. Some other ones that would blow my mind include: Kevin Smith (but only when he's in "Silent Bob" mode), Jennifer Lopez (come on, how else can you get married that many times without remorse ... being a deity would get you instant absolution from any perceived sin), and Woody Hayes / Ara Parseghian (both of whom are already deified in the eyes of some college football fans).

Even more intriguing of a question: If you knew, definitively, that God actually took human form ... would you behave differently? Knowing that it was a distinct possibility that you could work in the next office, flip Him / Her off at an intersection, or even go to the same school as kids?

This is all far too deep of a conversation for a Monday ... particularly when Martini's had very little sleep. D has been having bouts of insomnia recently, and this impacts MY sleep pattern when he tosses and turns and is awake at 2 AM. This, in turn, wakes ME up. Then, as atonement for his sin of waking me up from my beauty sleep, he must amuse me. But hey now ... he's good at it, so who's really complaining about THAT? ** looks around innocently **

NYC UPDATE: We're leaving Cow-Town at 9 PM on 12/22. It's about a 9 hour drive into Staten Island (where we're staying). That should land us there about 6 AM. Catch a few Z's, and then head into the city. Game plan will also involve the strong possibility of checking out The Today Show on Christmas Eve early AM. Watch for me on TV! We'll leave on 12/27 in the AM, and get back into Columbus about 7 or 8 PM. If you're in the NYC area and you want to "do lunch" or something, let me know.

NEW YEAR'S EVE UPDATE: Anyone in for a little Cinci / Northern KY (heh heh ... she said KY) fun? MAV and I want to party like it's 1999, and we're going to drag the boys with us. Drop me a line if you're in.
