Martha, Martha, Martha

With a new year approaching, many people resolve to commit to new or renewed beliefs or behaviors – go to the gym, spend less, save more, eat less, travel, quit drinking and/or doing drugs, spend more time with family and friends (Side note: These are all impossible resolutions if one truly commits to spending more time with family and friends). For most, these resolutions quickly fall to the back burner.

I’ve actually never made any of these resolutions. At least, not wholeheartedly. I’ve thought about doing a few of them (those that I don’t already do) but never moved from the place of contemplation to completion. I blame this on my upbringing. When I was a child, I attended church with my family. It was often preached that thinking was the same as doing. I was a thinker, so I had ‘done a lot’ by the time I was baptized at the ripe age of eight. Fortunately, the baptism was meant to wash away all of my sins. Fortunately, like a freshly bathed dog, I ran right back outside and rolled in the dirt; or, at a minimum, I thought about doing it. I’ve been rolling in the dirt for many years now – keeping my wolf scent fresh.

Recently, I hosted a holiday party – something I used to do more frequently and have been thinking about doing for some time. I invited friends, a few family members, spent money, and ate and drank a lot. While some aim to put the ‘Christ’ in Christmas, I put my attention on the ‘mas.’ For those who don’t know, ‘mas’ is ‘more’ in Spanish and I’m all about more; especially if its a good thing.

After the party, I began the clean-up. I found a lot more alcohol and food than what was originally provided and I found a few more ‘gifts’: a couple of Loxitane (one was in my boot – a very European way to leave a gift), a pair of prescription sunglasses, and a set of keys.

A few days later, I went shopping and ended up buying way more than I really needed. When I returned home, I began unpacking the shopping bags and found another set of keys. I was beginning to think I was part of an unofficial key party.

I decided to research the symbolism behind keys and discovered a few ‘key’ things they represent: privileged access, freedom, knowledge, success, liberation, good dreams, authority, and power. I also learned about St. Martha and I discovered she and I share some common behaviors. She’s all about hospitality, isn’t afraid to speak her mind, respects a good broom, and is often portrayed with a set of keys.

I decided to take my research a little further and typed, ‘Who is better Mary Magdalene or Martha?’ My laptop, knowing me better than most, immediately auto populated, ‘Who is better Mary Magdalene or Martha’s Vineyard.’ Martha’s Vineyard for the win (coincidentally, ‘win’ always auto corrects to ‘wine’ and ‘Martha’s Vineyard’ auto corrects to ‘earth girls are easy’)! Martha, Martha, Martha’s Vineyard, I think I owe you a visit again. I’ll grab a set of keys and head your way.

  4. Greetings! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for
    this website? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve

    I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  16. Excellent blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused ..

    Any ideas? Thank you!

  18. I do know a various women and there are a couple of I believe are cute and wish to ask out, but I’m frightened that if I
    do I would turn gay or something. It’s really just a few guys I do know
    that flip me on, and it seems to be purely bodily, not emotional in any respect.

    In the event you do this, even on your own, for an hour every few days or week, I believe you’ll have the ability to recruit
    a number of the passers-by to hitch the effort, and thus regularly
    improve the scope of the hassle until you might be doing
    it for perhaps ten hours every week. Even though they turn me on, I don’t
    want a relationship with one other guy. The entire time my
    friend was pondering that if somebody trying like this fats, pustulent young man ever walked into a bar, he
    would be folded, spindled, and mutilated before even taking a seat.
    Truly this is what the Founding Fathers envisioned after they wrote the US Constitution: a
    world where each man and woman is free, free to talk about werewolf
    dicks. It’s a free, nationwide cellphone counselling service for five to 18 12 months olds.

  50. Though the above women don’t have anything much in widespread, the fast
    photos that a median male brain can conjure up are of the ‘stand-out’ function widespread to the three – their boobs.
    I then explained that she was to put on bare minimum of clothing and as she
    could be travelling by public transport the
    place ever possible she was to flash her cunt and arse by
    walking upstairs on the buses with a guy proper behind her.Also in three different outlets she was to get a
    store. I’d suggest three tablets of ZMA earlier
    than sleep. I didn’t sleep a lot in any respect that evening and was out in. The waiter calls
    out orders corresponding to: “One explosive, mind-blowing, gut-wrenching kebab. “Very good,
    sir.” The waiter turned and marched towards the kitchen with an urgency which urged he acquired orders from a general, rather than from a customer recent off the maglev from London.
