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.
