seventieth.

dear (k)you,

this is one of my favorite movies. and i love this part of the movie. really reflects what i want to tell OAO. lol. i've forgotten about this, but my brother suddenly put it on, and it still kinda fit my life.

grace: thank God you’re all right!

bruce: God? yeah, let’s thank God, shall we? for his blessings are raining down upon me. wait! That’s not rain!

g: bruce, please don’t do that, honey. you know that everything happens for a reason.

b: that i don’t need. that is a cliché. that is not helpful to me.

g: ”a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”!

b: i have no bird. i have no bush. God has taken my bird and my bush.

g: oh, i see. so God is picking on you, is that what you’re saying?

b: no! he is ignoring me completely! he’s far too busy getting Evan everything he wants. oh, that’s great, sam. but you missed your target. i am over here!

g: why are you getting mad at the dog? it’s not the dog’s fault.

b: no, it’s God’s fault. He gave him the wrong coordinates.

g: OK, enough! would you stop being such a martyr?

b: i am not being a martyr. i am a victim! God is a mean kid sitting on an anthill
with a magnifying glass, and i am an ant. he could fix my life in 5 minutes if he wanted to. but he’d rather burn up my feelers and watch me squirm!

------
b: OK God… you want me to talk to you? then tell me what’s going on. what should i do? give me a signal. i need your guidance, please, send me a sign.

OK, all right. i’ll try it your way. OK. Lord, i need a miracle. i am desperate. i need your help, Lord. please, reach into my life.

fine. the gloves are off, pal. come on, let me see that wrath. smite me! oh, mighty smiter! you are the one who should be fired! the only one around here not doing his job is you!

answer me!
