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-
