losing my religion......

ok, so i proudly admit that i am a slave to celebrity gossip.......well, maybe an underparlourmaid........but someone who spends far too much time caring about the rich and famous.......my newest chuckle is about katie holmes, a starlet whose show dawson's creek i never saw...who is dating tom cruise....and embracing his religion scientology like it is a new pair of slippers ready to try on for size........hmmm......from all i can surmise....scientology is a fairly new religion...one in which we can actually name the inventor.....l ron hubbard.....so in that sense i find myself taking it all in with a skepticism........maybe what i need to do is to make up my own religion.....i'll have a semi-empty nest next year....maybe i can cook up some sort of empty-nest based religion....one that puts perimenopausal women at the top of the heap......not necessarily in the goddess genre....that has been beaten to death.......but along those lines.........and i would go to great lengths to schedule observances in months like june or october where i usually start to thinking that i could use a three-day weekend........and maybe include cats somehow.....most religions do not have a tent big enough for our furry friends......what is the point of heaven if my cat can't go too........i will keep you posted, gentle readers.....on my new faith as it evolves...........
