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. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
    My website has a lot of unique content I’ve either written myself
    or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without
    my permission. Do you know any methods to help stop
    content from being stolen? I’d truly appreciate it.

  6. Hi there, the whole thing is going perfectly here and ofcourse every one is sharing information, that’s in fact excellent, keep up writing.

  8. 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
    had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform.

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

  16. 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.

  17. Excellent way of explaining, and fastidious piece of writing to take information concerning my presentation subject
    matter, which i am going to deliver in college.

  20. Hello! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?

    me in the direction of a good platform.

  21. You’ve made some good points there. I checked on the net for additional information about the issue and found most people will go along
    with your views on this web site.

  24. 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.

  25. Aw, this was an extremely good post. Finding the time and actual effort
    to produce a superb article… but what can I say… I put
    things off a lot and never manage to get anything done.

  26. I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your site.
    It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much
    more pleasant for me to come here aand visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme?
    Exceptionl work!

  27. Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the images on this blog loading?

    I’m trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog.

    Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.
