Last night I dreamt Jesus and I walked along a beach.
"Jesus," I said, "you're black? I thought that was a Hollywood cliche. I figured you didn't have a race--you were just the essence of forgiveness or love or something."
"Nope, I'm black. My son, I'm concerned about the path of your life. You used to help the less fortunate. You used to devote yourself to causes. Now you just pursue money. What happened?"
"Jesus, I'm not sure I ever cared about those causes or if I just wanted to aggrandize myself. I mean, I care but it's secondary to making my own life better. And it's a distant second."
Jesus nodded understandingly.
"Everyone wants to improve their lot, Jesus. But materialists are at least honest about it. Given that you've built us with this self-preservation that trumps other concerns, maybe the most we can hope for is to not be a hypocrite. And to make enough money to enjoy the world you've built for us. It does take money, Jesus, no matter what anyone says."
Holding his hands behind his back as we walked, Jesus was the model of the thoughtful listener. "Mmm-hmm. There was an element of egotism to your works. But in sum you may, eventually, have been able to make some difference, even if small."
"The ends justify the means, Jesus? Is that the creator's philosophy?"
"Oh no. Look around," he said, gesturing to the sky and the water and the sand. "My father was a dadaist. And maybe," he concluded, probing a wound in his wrist absent-mindedly, "a bit of a sadist."
Everyone's gotta have a fave t-shirt! Here I am in mine - a Depeche Mode tee I got at one of the three concerts of theirs I went to. It is so loved, it is faded & has holes in it, but I will wear it until it is no longer wearable...then I will go on ebay & find another one! Taken at the May 3 campus studio photoshoot by my beautiful sweet friend Jillian...
Something for IceGrapefruit and Kate Shepard, and any other Depeche Mode fans who will stumble across this. This picture is prettier than the stack of MP3 CDs, ya know?
Only things missing are their last album Playing The Angel, the remix compilation Remixes 81-04, and the hits compilation The Best Of, volume 1 which I haven't found on tape... this isn't an issue since I haven't been playing tapes in awhile.
"...The grabbing hands grab all they can all for themselves,
after all, it's a competitive world everything counts in large amounts..."

“I’ve got to get to you first
Before they do
It’s just a question of time
Before they lay their hands on you
And make you just like the rest
I’ve got to get to you first
It’s just a question of time”
A Question of Time, Depeche Mode
