Upon walking home today this old lady that lives in my apartment complex sees me
in my military uniform and she says, "did you walk all the way from the base?" I
respond by saying, "yes, maam."(Cuz I like to show respect for old people when I
am in my uniform). When I am not wearing it I usually point at them and start
reminding how old and how close to death they are. Ok, I don't do that, but I am
not all like MAAM and SIR with them. So she says, "wow, that's a long way. It is
very noble of you to do that for our country." I politely said, "thank you,
maam, you have a nice day now" and carried on my way.
It was cute that
she thought walking a couple of miles is noble of me to serve my country. What I
couldn't do was break her poor little old heart by letting her know that the
reason I don't drive is because I don't have a car and I have a DUI. She was
such a cute old lady. I wouldn't say hot, but she was probably quite the looker
back in the swingin' 20s. All I am saying is that if I was an 78 year old Pope I
would be tapping that.
I appreciate the nice comments I got from my last
blog. I also appreciate the one message I got that if I wasn't Catholic I
shouldn't say anything about the Pope. To that I responded in a nice civil way.
I reminded her that we live in America. If I am not mistaken we have the right
to pretty much type what we want as long as it is not libel.
So going
off of her "logical" thinking I can only assume that if I am not a woman I can't
type things such as, women have breasts. Some women have really nice tits. Some
women have a flat chest. Some women have had their fun bags reduced because they
were apparently too fun (Punky Brewster had this done).
My point being,
some people are offended too easily. Some people aren't offended at all. Some
people offend other people on purpose and some do it on accident. The bottom
line is that we live in a society that if you haven't figured out that people
have different opinions, ideals, beliefs, religions, races, creed, and color;
you need to wake up and re-evaluate your life. Or you don't have to do a damn
thing. You see, that is one beautiful thing about life: YOU CAN BE YOURSELF AND
DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. YOU CAN THINK HOW YOU WANT TO THINK AND YOU CAN ACT HOW
YOU WANT TO ACT.
I told her I respected her for her beliefs. I
apologized if I offended her. I also told her that I shouldn't be apologizing at
all because I spoke my mind. I said, and will continue to say, whatever the fuck
I feel like saying as long as it makes people think and laugh. ***The thinking
part is totally optional. Some of the best humor is that which is just plain
nonsense.***
I changed my profile back to normal for the time being
because I am having problems with photobucket. They said I exceeded bandwidth. I
will change the background later. I did change some words and I still have some
pictures that haven't gotten that many comments. Even the one taken back in 1995
when me, my best friend and his roomates look like an early 90s sitcom. We
totally do. There is no denying that. What can I say? It was college, I was
stoned and in a world that was ran by Thursday night television on NBC.
Take it easy everybody and live life the way you want,
-G-
