Highway To Hell


The other day my roommate and I were watching TV when a familiar smell poured into our room. That smell what the awful smell of the ethnic cooking of our foreign neighbors, who by the way barely speak English. (I think their little kid is trying to kill me. The little shit leaves her toys in the hall for me to wonder out half awake in the morning on the way to class and step on. I swear I can hear her sadistic laugh coming from inside their room every time I stumble.) This was immediately followed by a few off hand comments that I'm going to refrain from repeating here. After our laughter subdued, my roommate said that following:

"Dude, we are a sure lock to go to hell"

This got me thinking. Have I done enough harm? Have I caused enough anguish to be a mortal lock for hell? Don't get me wrong I'm no saint, let alone an all around good person, but I didn't think I was on the highway to hell. Their had to be people out there worse than me. Let's take a look at my "hell resume" to see if I can't be saved.

Making Fun of the Handicapped.
I'm talking both mental and physical. We all know about how much I enjoy seeing someone with limited mental capabilities take on a rubik's cube. However, it goes beyond that. There was the blind guy who lived down the street from me sophomore year, and, well, he was a dick. So when I would strike up a civil conversation with him I would flip him off the whole time. At least I didn't wave my dick at him like I was dared to. I even moved some stuff around on his porch and watched him stumble around like he was leaving happy hour.

I didn't even think twice about using the handicap tag I stumbled across in high school, or impersonating mentally challenged kid in a football helmet (with out a mask) and letting my friends throw footballs at me. The look of horror on passing motorist's faces was priceless.

But this wasn't enough to guarantee eternal damnation. Right?

Kids and Stupidity
We all know kids are stupid. That's why they ask so many stupid questions. So when I was asked if I liked Superman; it probably wasn't the nicest thing to show my friend's nephew, who is a huge Superman fan, the Superman dies issue comic book. It was probably worse telling him it was because he didn't believe in Superman hard enough. Hey, we get a good laugh out of it now.

Am I a bad person because I don't let my 8 year old cousin beat me in H-O-R-S-E? Its not my fault he can't make a left hand layup. On the other hand, I probably don't have to rub his face in it every time I win.....or make him give me a dollar. What? He still have 80% of his allowance left.

Those are only two of many examples.

Upholding The Law
I'll get one thing out of the way right now. I've been court ordered to take an alcohol class and anger management class. I didn't really need to take either. I already knew how to drink alcohol and the only time I've been visibly mad was when I found out I had to take an anger management class. Those were the only times I was caught. I've had to have jaywalked about a hundred times.

Public urination? Once a week. Easy.

Hell, I even stole a car once....for a day....then I gave it back.

Does all this (and much more) mean that I'm destined to spend my eternity surrounded by fire and brimstone? Or does it mean that I'm just an asshole who doesn't know any better?

You be the judge.
