quenched

I love sarcasm. This isn't one of those cases where I'm using the word 'love' out of context either. I really do love it. I enjoy talking to sarcastic people, reading articles and columns written by sarcastic people and as a given, I like to watch sarcastic people on tv (i.e: House M.D) I've found that in the past I didn't quite get my daily recommended amount of satirical humor and in turn I used to explode with witty and genius-like comments to unsuspecting friends and acquaintances both at local and abroad -- sorry about that. Also, I've thought that my friends here in Uruguay really never got to know me... mostly because I couldn't talk or I didn't know how to use sarcasm in Spanish. Get this- some of them were even surprised to hear my voice! I kid you not, they thought I was shy and quiet. Please, stop laughing now... thanks. However, after watching Devil Wears Prada more times than I care to admit to get my DRA of sarcasm I began to grow a little weary of the flick. I began to get a little desperate- then I found House M.D. It was like a little ray of sunshine from heaven. Maybe not to that extent, but I began soaking in the subtle but evil humor of Gregory House. Like a true addict, I soon realized that there might not be enough House episodes posted online to keep my thirst quenched. After being one of many people hooked on the animated, truthful and satirical preaching styles of Mark Driscoll, I found myself momentarily satisfied; until I got annoyed of waiting 4 hours for the video podcast to load. At this point I also should mention I have way too short an attention span to listen to a sermon without seeing the preacher, a little something I developed in Bible school. Anyways, I continued searching, until one day, which also happens to be yesterday, Allison sent me this link http://www.stufffchristianslike.blogspot.com and my sarcasm quota was filled for a long while. If you like sarcasm as much as I do, then I strongly recommend (which means it's not an option) that you take a gander. Warning: it's addictive.
