Irony


Two outlandishly conventional people standing in line at Starbuck's, waiting to buy a $4 cup of coffee. Whiling away the time by assailing consumerism. These same two amorphous suburbanites discussing the malevolence of materialism as they slide behind the wheel of their Subarus. Irony is everywhere, you just have to pay attention.

This past weekend, I came across the definition of catholic. It means universal and all-embracing. I re-read the definition a few times. Stifled a laugh, and wallowed in the irony. I ain't making it up.
