CUT-OFF

Exactly how far does parenting go? Am I supposed to give a cosmic shit for nine million years? All the while until he's finally old and dying like me? Must I wait that long? Personally, I'd like to treat him as a person I kinda know. He's my own kid, so it wouldn't be lying. I kinda know him. I know he's really skinny and has sideburns. What more do you want from me? Oh, right, he called up with a sinus infection. As a poor person, he has no medical care. So I'm gonna teach him how to steal some. Key words: fake ssn, fake address, fake name: Kal Varnson. Fake everything. Go to a walk-in clinic. Lie about everything. Freedom. Fuckin' A.

myvonne replied to your post: How about the BS baptism for the dead that the LDS church engages in? My husband and I left the church many years before our daughter was diagnosed with cancer. She succumbed to the disease after 3 years. While I cannot prove it, or even know how find out, I'm fairly certain my devout LDS in- laws had her baptized posthumously. I am sickened by this idea on so many levels. What makes these people think they have the right?

I think it's crazy. Don't know anything about their beliefs but it seems weird to say a person is going to their heaven… when that person didn't choose it him or herself.

I think that's probably what bugs her so. But it's not even true. None of this shit is true. Everything an authority figure says is a lie, whether it be a priest or mullah or cop or teacher or newscaster, whatever. If a person is in a position of power and they are talking, they are lying.

Simple.

Proceed.

Well, that's weird. Um, did they have access to the body? I don't know. The whole thing is odd to me. Pretty much all religious rituals are odd to me. Whatever they were doing, they were doing for themselves, to make themselves feel better. The only thing I know about religion, whether it be Mormons or Evangelicals or Muslims or Buddhists or whatever, is that they're wrong. Whatever these people did, it was a symbol to themselves. It's meaningless, just like all religions (and, yes, I even believe in god). They had a moment. I understand if it insulted you, but too bad, I guess. Like I said, it don't mean shit. There's a reason you distanced yourself from these people. Focus on that.

Last night I asked for ideas.

RE: this.

I got some pretty funny ones, like "Tell us about that time you accidentally took ketamine thinking it was cocaine." Ha! And what? I have never indulged in either. The extent of my drug use has been pot, lsd, shrooms, and booze. These days I only drink and once in a great while get high. Anywho.

Another good one: "If men had periods." Perhaps you mean if only…?

There were several others and I've actually decided to use one (stay tuned). No, I didn't write last night, or drink whiskey, like I was thinking about. I'm drinking tonight, though, but not writing. I've never really been able to write and drink at the same time. I have the attention span of a chipmunk on espresso, more so while drinking. I don't get all those drunk writers. How do they do it?

Thanks for the input, guys. Also, I reserve the right to change my mind, so keep em coming if you want.

So what should I write about?

In June of last year, a terrible mistake was made and I was offered a job as political op-ed columnist. Hilarity ensued.

I have really annoyed a lot of people by doing it, so it's been quite fun. Many people are amazed that I am even allowed on the internet, saying all the shit that I say in the way that I say it.

So gimme a topic. If I get a lot of choices, I'll choose one. "Political" can be very broad. In fact, it doesn't even have to actually be political, but can be about culture, something in the news, anything really.

Monday morning is the deadline, but I might as well get some whiskey and write it tonight. A new liquor store opened up down the street and I want to go check it out.

So slide your ideas into this.
