Why Are We Here?
FOUND by Kyle
in Seattle, Washington
I found this while closing shop at the cafe where I work. I think a girl, who was practicing what she learned at massage school, dropped it

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
create? it is already here. no effort is required. just be.
poor thing, massage school. I have known too many flaky people that have gone to massage school only to end up being waitress or the kind of person to give "happy endings" to their "clients"
Man, she must give a good massage.
Is this a royal "we". We are not amused!
back of card reads;
"and when we say make earth just like heaven, we mean as in 'full of dead people'. muahahahahaha!!"
Heaven on earth? This sounds soooooo boring. I think there is more fun in hell. So let's give them hell on earth! Yes! Muahahahahahah!
Now where did I put that whip...?
This is by far, hands down, one of my favourite finds ever...
Something about it is so simply profound that it amazes me. :]
It actually makes me think of the Heaven's Gate cult that committed mass suicide while waiting for a "Raelian" UFO.
Let's all shave our heads and live asexually. Don't forget your passports and $5.75 cash for UFO fare.
@Feeling
I'm way ahead of you on one of those...
(p.s, can I borrow $5.75 for UFO fair?)
Last chance to leave planet earth before it recycles.
Hey! You found my notes for this week's sermon!
And yet, after a hundred thousand years, and billions of people working at it, no one has succeeded in doing it. Sort of makes for a downer of a philosophy!
I have it on good authority that, back in the beginning, it was God who created heaven and earth. Is this God's wallet?? If so, what was He doing at a cafe in Seattle? Was it the fair trade coffee? The laid back, day of rest feeling?
Was that the only thing in the wallet?
It kind of makes me think of the stuff they pass out at AA meetings.
That "wallet" looks suspiciously like a birth control pill holder (for the kind that come on blister cards). Maybe it was a message from the pills?
@ Librarian:
And I've got it on good authority that He drinks His coffee black. And no decaf for Him - He's the God who never seeps.
HEYYYY be nice, i'm a massage therapy student :)
we are here to create corned beef hash and eggs
With only one eye open and on the computer, I've never heard of "message" school before, but the girl seems to be a good learning how to spread them well.
Oh, "massage" school I've heard of. But how was she practicing at the cafe? Back to sleep.
It's typed - and in a little bifold... perhaps someone in the Karma Police dropped their badge. I hear Karma Police hang out in cafe's drinking Chai - as they abhor hanging around with the usual donut eating suspect cops...
@me in you - exactly how many "too many flaky people" have you known ending up giving happy endings to clients?
Shall we? Yes, let's.
If Adam and Eve who HAD paradise on earth couldn't succeed in this matter then how stupid are we to think we can succeed?
Oh, baby do you know what that's worth?
I am here to chew bubblegum and kick ass.
And I'm all out of bubblegum.
Belinda Carlisle dropped this ...
"Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth"
Damn! This song will be stuck in my head all day. Right up there with the Pina Colada song and the Bonanza TV theme song..... ugg.
it was a guardian angel that dropped it.

for $120 you can be introduced to your guardian angel too! call now!
Yay Seattle Washington! The wettest place on earth (other than the bottom of the ocean) Seattle IS heaven on earth
That wallet-thingy is actually a business card holder. They come with an order of business cards, kind of like a checkbook cover comes with an order of checks.
darn, hiplains.. joh(n) beat you to it.
As a former Jehovah's Witness, I think this is a wallet of one, the other side held a pad on which to keep track of field service (knocking on doors) hours, and this little message was a constant reminder.
@ Joh(n): That popped into my head immediately. Halfway through the comments I thought I had a shot at posting it first. Props to you.
Must play Belinda now. Happy song....
Whoever dropped this must have not agreed with the statement, because it seems like something that someone would cherish and live by... not something to drop in a cafe.
And why is a massage therapist here to create heaven on earth?
Pshhh... I disagree.
It's about time you figured it out.
Now get on it, would ya?
Told ya so. nya nya
@mlm, reminded me of the little ID holders you could buy at college at the bookstore in the Student Union building on campus. Great for carrying your ID and a few bucks to go drinking.
@ Hiplainsdrifter- have you heard the words to the Bonanza theme music? Ack!!
Shouldn't this in the form of a question in order to get the full Jeopardy awards points?
Other than the lower case "w" and the missing period, this little card passes the grammar and spelling test.
@ Wish I was drinking in an Irish pub
I think they go...
Bonana bonana nana nanzaa Bonana bo nanazzaaa (alternate repeating in lower higher registers to get full effect until collapsing from exhaustion)
We are here to create a tasty cheese omelet
(no no no)
We are here to create a comfortable place to relax
(no no no)
We are here to create too many babies
(no no no)
We are here to fly to the planet Paunarek
(no)
We are here to take each others rectal temperature
(NO)
We are here to sing the body elastic and willing
(better)
@ Hiplainsdrifter- no, seriously- there were words at first...thank goodness they didn't last!!
Heaven is most definitely already here.
Lyrics to Bonanza theme are here http://tinyurl.com/5dzvbf
Didn't Jay Livingston also write the lyrics to the Gilligan's Island theme?
@ Irish pub and Hiplainsdrifter
There are lyrics indeed:
We chased lady luck till we finally struck - Bonanza
With a gun and a rope and a hatful of hope
We planted our family tree
We got ahold of a potful of gold - Bonanza
With a horse and a saddle and a rig full of cattle
How rich can a fella be?
On this land we put our brand
Cartwright is the name
Fortune smiled the day we filed
The Ponderosa claim
Here in the west we're livin' in the best - Bonanza
If anyone fights any one of us
He's gonna fight with me
etc.

OK - so when Belinduh fades
and Bonanza has ridden off into the sunset
sit back relax and enjoy a
nice Pina Colada...
you know...
I was tired of my lady
We'd been together too long
Like a worn-out recording
Of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleeping
I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns
There was this letter I read
"If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the Cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape."
I didn't think about my lady
I know that sounds kind of mean
But me and my old lady
Have fallen into the same old dull routine
So I wrote to the paper
Took out a personal ad
And though I'm nobody's poet
I thought it wasn't half bad
"Yes I like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food
I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
And cut through all this red-tape
At a bar called O'Malley's
Where we'll plan our escape."
So I waited with high hopes
And she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant
I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady
And she said, "Oh it's you."
Then we laughed for a moment
And I said, "I never knew."
That you like Pina Coladas
Getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean
And the taste of champagne
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes of the Cape
You're the lady I've looked for
Come with me and escape
I used to keep this little bit by Raymond Carver instead of a photo in my wallet:
And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.
It made me happy, so you know, whatever, creating heaven's okay too, I guess.
P.S. At first I thought the girl was attending "message" school instead of "massage" school. In way, message makes more sense.
