SoulPancake (SP)
I don't know if anyone else has heard of SoulPancake, but it's Rainn Wilson's project (aside from The Office), and it's kinda made to make you think.
Here's his blurb from the site, soulpancake.com:
What is SoulPancake? Well, it?s more of a mission than a Web site...
We want to make discussions about Spirituality, Creativity, and Philosophy cool again. Were they ever cool? I have no idea. But it seems like a good idea. We want to engage the user to ?Chew on Life?s Big Questions??. (I was kidding about the ? symbol; you can use that phrase however you want. Even to sell frozen taquitos.) Where do you go on the Interwebs if you want an irreverent, fun, and profound take on God and Art and the Soul and Faith and Beauty? Fox.com? Maybe. But maybe also here at SoulPancake.com.
We provide some rockin? content (interviews, blogs, challenges, contests, features, and more), but it?s really all about having YOU?the SoulPancake community?bring this site to life. Say what?s on your mind. Be real. Talk about WHY WE?RE HERE. And if I say something that offends you, let me have it.
Just remember: Life is a rich, weird, difficult experience. So join us as we go on the spiritual and artistic journey that is SoulPancake.
So I figure -- what better than to get this board a-hoppin' than by making us ponder?
So here's today's question:
Does the Unexplainable Happen to You?
Unexplainable happenings. I'm not talking about a Virgin Birth, making the Statue of Liberty disappear, or even discovering ol' Nessie swimming in your backyard coy pond. I'm just talking about general weirdness.
List three random things that have happened to you lately that remain unexplainable.
1. Sand explosion in my dishwasher.
2. My pedicure from Wal-Mart.
3. It's 60 degrees and raining. In July.
Re: SoulPancake (SP)
1. Falling glasses
2. People being dumb. After being lectured.
3. Themed mailboxes.
Stand up for something you believe in.
1. Ends of eyebrows waxed off by a rookie
2. Rats and cockroaches make first appearance where I work.
3. Pistachio shell ripping off half of fingernail
1. Friday I had a client escape from the facility. She came back 12 hours later higher than a kite. She knew she was in trouble. The director said she was going to be termainted and arrested. But she wanted to wait, because some big-wigs were there for a training, didn't want the facility on lockdown. My client checked out to the hospital later than evening (nearly 12 hours after she returned, and because they can't refuse medical) and escaped again. Because the Director didn't want to look bad by putting the facility on lockdown to have her arrested.
2. It's humid in Denver. And we've had more days in July that have been 90+ than ever before
3. a ridiculous and daily desire for mac and cheese.
1. How one week I can eat terrible and lose 3 lbs and then for two weeks straight I eat great and the scale doesn't change.
2. The weather is ridiculous here as well; there has to be a happy medium between heat indexes of 115degrees and torrential downpours, right?
3. My husband, the soon to be 28 year old, who wants a jump-n-fun/waterslide in our driveway for his birthday?!?!?!?!? Especially when we have nothing but extra expenses to deal with for the next two months, ugh.
1. I went to Target and only bought the one item I went there for, even after spending over an hour walking around the store.
2. My office fish Fizzle is still alive, after two years, and recently being stuck in an unclean tank for 3-4 weeks due to all our trips.
3. This one didn't happen to me directly but - Jimi was having a dream about B, when he and friend N were all roommates, and they were throwing B some sort of party, but a call woke him up. The call was friend N to tell us B had died.
I have great unexplainable event stories from college, but I think we shared things like that once when we had a discussion about hauntings/ghosts.
Anyway:
1.The dog smelling like dog again within one day of being hard-core washed and groomed.
2. Kyler pooping up the FRONT of his diaper and not hitting the back at all.
3. Craig finding a spider in a corner of the house before me and promptly killing it. Normally I have radar for them and have to beg him to destroy them.
