home home on the road
I was driving home from seattle today and while on highway 26 I came across some graffiti on the rocks on the side of the road... but this graffiti was different.
normally, the graffiti that is on the rocks is one of three things, or a combination of these things.
1. Greek symbols of whatever douchebaggery or whorebaggery they belong to.
2. a heart with two sets of initials within it, however the last initial is never the same, meaning they aren't truly in love, because if they were, they'd get married THEN ruin mother nature together to prove their love... or something, I dunno, I've never had the urge to write on the rocks, or get married.
3. a short phrase that demeans UW, WSU, or any other college around that people would recognize... except never central, no one cares about central. they're like switzerland.
today's signage not only kind of angered me, but also made me go against something I said in #2. after gazing my sight seers on the rocks I wanted to write on them...
The graffiti said in large letters
"Jesus Saves"
immediately I was struck, and I thought to myself "good for them, finally getting something helpful and undemeaning(which I don't believe is a word, whatever) on the rocks."
my next thought(.82 milliseconds after my first one) was "I should write 'and ludacris withdrawals' directly after the Jesus Saves graffiti..." that would be hilarious! good ol luda.
then I got to thinking. someone, who apparently believes in their heart that jesus saves, and most likely has saved them, thought it would be a good idea to directly and knowingly disobey the law. but wait! didn't God put people in power in order to come up with laws in which we should follow?
anyways, I just didn't find it very effective, well thought out or respectful for the person who did that to do it. course, I only found it to be that way once I thought about it for a little bit, and since most of the world doesn't think, hopefully the blatant disrespect of mother nature in order to have their own thoughts and beliefs upon the rocks will save someone, if not everyone that drives by it.
but as for me, I think you're a jerk.
