Does God Recycle?

I was watching Celebrity Circus last night and I saw the host Joey Fatone introduce the next act Rachel Hunter. I asked my wife why these people were famous. She said Rachel Hunter was a super model from 20 years ago and Joey Fatone who was originally from the NSYNC, my second favorite boy band (BSB 4ever!)

The premise of the show is to get people on the D list to show up, smile, and act like they’re concentration is for some purpose.

(By the way, if you’re wondering if I, myself, would ever participate in a show like this the answer is “where do I sign?”)

So yes I’d do it but I’d be constantly weighing the humiliation against the paycheck.

I digress.

Hunter and Fatone were recently on another show called dancing with the stars, arguably the same premise as the former show mentioned except it’s met with former C listers and much more popular. Also, dancing peeps are less creepy than circus folk. So at what point do you think the two made the jump from C list to D list when they were clearly at one point solid Bs?

I thought back to shopping with my mom when I was a kid. We used to go to Marshall’s. Marshall’s always had a ton of cheap stuff but where did it come from? Did fashionistas in Paris dream of designing blouses and skirts to be featured on the sales rack at Marshall’s? No. Their stuff started out at Macy’s. And when they couldn’t sell there, Macy’s sold the blouses and skirts to Kohls. From Kohls to Mervyns to J.C. Penny to Sears to Ross ending up finally at Marshall’s.

So what was God intending when he made me? I was probably going to be a minister or an executive in a large corporation making huge donations to charities and writing books about how humble I was. Then when I was little I sinned. I sinned again. Fast forward 33 years. Now I’m on the Y list writing blogs to losers.
