HEAVEN





Everyone is trying

To get to the bar
The name of the bar
The bar is called heaven
The band in heaven
They play my favorite song
Play it one more time
Play it all night long
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
There is a party
Everyone is there
Everyone will leave
At exactly the same time
It's hard to imagine that
Nothing at all
Could be so exciting
Could be this much fun
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
When this kiss is over
It will start again
It will not be any different
It will be exactly the same
It's hard to imagine
That nothing at all
Could be so exciting
Could be this much fun
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens

******************************

Richard and Robert are arguing again on their respective blogs about christianity and the fatuous beliefs that Robert holds. Insane, inane, asinine and nonsensical things like: creationism; Adam and Eve propagating the world only 10,000 years ago; Noah repopulating it after a flood which wiped out everyone only 4,500 years ago; the existence of heaven, hell and angels etc.



This got me thinking about what I think is heaven. When I used to work, doing things I really didn't want to do for people who I didn't really like I used to fantasise about having the opportunity to just do what I want to do, whenever I want to do it. The opportunity to sit and read a book, doze in the sun, listen to National Radio etc. Now I can do these things - without guilt and without feeling pressured into 'doing something useful'.

Of course I do get out and about doing gardening, going walking, kayaking and playing some sports which balances out the 'lazing' but at the moment I feel fatigued and spend more time thinking than doing. Soon I will get back some energy and will, when I'm able to drive again, go to the gym and to tennis or golf but at present 'heaven' for me is " a place. A place where nothing. Nothing ever happens"

Sorry Robert.

Have a safe trip. I'll entertain Robert while you are away.

Hey, I can cut some bread into circles and eat it. Easy peasy.

Good. Vegemite is tastier and doesn't have all the gristly bits.

Richard (of RBB) said...

I don't want to eat Jesus, or anybody else. It's all bullshit Robert. Wake up.

That's just a big bit weird.
