empyrean: /em-puh-ree-uhn/

1. the highest heaven, supposed by the ancients to contain the pure element of fire.
2. the visible heavens


how to use in casual conversation:

"sometimes i look up to the empyrean and wonder if today will be the day the universe collapses in on itself."

not to be confused with:

papyrean

how it makes me feel:

i'm gonna go with jesusy. yes. jesusy. that's an adjective, right? a jesusy man.

jesusy: /gee-sus-ee/

of or pertaining to jesus

i never think about jesus. that's not true. i do think about jesus but in more of a "are you drinking with me jesus?" way as opposed to an "oh lord, who art in heaven..." kind of thing. i grew up in southern california and knew tons of hispanic dudes named jesus (like, 'hey-zeus') but i have never met a white guy named jesus ('gee-sus') or jesus ('hey-zeus') for that matter. but what do i know? i'm an atheist except on days when i listen to johnny cash. have i said all this before? oh well, you'll read it again anyway won't you?

p.s.:

if you feel inclined to write me an email telling me i'm going to hell, don't bother - i already know. thanks. toodles.

  1. I don't think you're going to hell. If you are an atheist then you wouldn't believe in heaven or hell, so I'm guessing when you expire you'll just be..gone. Right? Unless you believe in reincarnation in which case you may come back. So we may see you on the flip side.
