01.28.08 El Diablo Senior Jobs
Apple’s logo might be a tasted piece of forbidden fruit for a reason. El Diablo may be inhabiting my Macbook Pro. And the emerging church is evil after all. Consider this:
The headphone jack glows red when nothing’s plugged into it. (Creepy.)
Trying to change the volume gives me the following image (Notice the universal symbol for “Uh uh, it ain’t gonna happen” below the volume meter.)
Volume won’t change unless headphones are plugged in.
These symptoms first presented themselves while I was attempting to listen to a well-known Emergent emerging church pastor’s sermon on humor. (I’m not laughing.)
Coincidence?
While you rightfully ponder the soul-and-technology-endangering ramifications of this post, are there any exorcisors out there who can rid my precious of her demons before pea soup spews from her firewire ports?

If Steve Jobs is ‘El Diablo’, what does that make Bill Gates?
I mean, have you heard of Steve giving his millions away to developing countries for vaccines, like Bill has?
Am I inviting the wrath of the ‘Reality Distortion Field’™ by dissing Steve?
Is every sentence in my comment going to be a question?

I just remembered something.....
Have you seen this? (is that another question?)

Hey,
I used to go to the people’s church in Franklin, when you would play at Fusion sometimes. I heard that you had a blog from a buddy of mine, and so i decided to check it out.
I saw that you are having problems with your macbook pro. I actually work at the apple store, and have seen my girlfriend’s computer do the exact same thing.
She took it to the genius bar, and they said that it could be a failed logic board, but luckily her computer pretty much fixed itself. If it doesn’t start working again soon you should schedule an appointment at an Apple Retail store and hopefully everything works out for you. You have to have an appointment so schedule it online before hand. If you’re in Nashville, the Greenhills store website is http://www.apple.com/retail/greenhills from there you’d hit reserve in the Genius Bar section on the left hand side of the screen.
Good Luck man!

Travis Cottrell fixed my computer!!!
He told me to plug the headphones in again and again until it stopped. After nine times, it was healed.
Demons be gone!
(Don’t feel bad that you didn’t fix it. He’s a musician, so, more of his brain was working on the problem.)

This post makes me laugh!
If Mac is wrong, I won’t ever be right.
Question for John: Have you heard about the terrible side effects vaccines can have on people? And just because you haven’t heard about it, does that mean you know for sure that Steve doesn’t give charitably, hmm? Okay, enough snarkiness…

@Jordan:
You didn’t really think I was SERIOUS about that did you? That was just my lame attempt at humor.
I won’t be quitting my day job anytime soon.

mmmm I downloaded that sermon and it did not mess my mac up, however i did rise from bed the next morning and spent a few hours vomiting quite dramatically.................

Driscoll making people vomit........... Who would of thought?
ally simpson said:
i should have included an exclamation mark after my comment, i feel guilty now, it was a joke, though i did vomit! In fact I tend to always end up saying something that would probably cause Driscoll to kick my Irish ass, even though i actually like the guy a lot! haha
