Black Sheep

I am .. no doubt, the 'black sheep' of the family. In fact, that is an actual picture of Me. In reality, if you want to know what I really look like, take a glance at good 'ol Grizzly Adams on the right hand side of my page. All kidding aside, I think I could just about pass as His twin .. it's really getting long. NOT THAT!! THE BEARD, YOU PERVERTS!

But back to being the 'black sheep'. The weird part is, I don't see Myself as the 'black sheep', which is probably what most oddballs think. They think 'they' are perfectly normal and everyone ELSE is weird. Well if that's the case, then I guess I fit that mold perfectly.

I would like to propose an argument as to why I'm the 'black sheep', and when I show each point individually, I think you'll see why I wonder why I'm the oddball and not everyone else.

I'm the 'black sheep' because:

- I doubt a religion that has NEVER made any sense to Me My entire life. I'm just saying it's either true or not!! It's that simple.

- I'm a cold hearted prick because I think parents should actually stay home and raise their own kids. Yup .. that's a pretty wild concept .. I know.

- I'm insensitive because I think stupid, lazy, Americans got us into this economy disaster by thinking they could have 'something for nothing'. For lying on their loans, and then refinancing to the max to re-do the entire house with all the bells and whistles.

- I'm the oddball because I think people who get free handouts like food stamps, heating assistance, housing assistance, are probably the exact people who SHOULDN'T be getting them.

- I'm strange because I don't really care to be around people. OK, OK ... I'll give you this one .. it is a little bit abnormal.

- I'm not normal because instead of bending over and taking it up the rear to pay taxes to bail out all the greedy, corrupt, failed businesses in the country .. I choose to make so little, that I don't end up paying in! Hey! At least I'm taking a stand!

- I'm the apparent weird-o because when I drive My car around I like to be aware of my surroundings and road conditions and other drivers. Unlike MOST of the drivers out there with a damn cell phone glued to their ear, and double cheeseburger, pop, and I-Pod in their hands .. talking to somebody about absolutely NOTHING while listening to rap music at 120 decibels!

- I don't fit in at the job because I actually have 'work morals' that tell Me to DO THE JOB I was hired for. Not to find any possible way to avoid it, or think of the best possible way to make it stretch out twice as long as it should take. And I get looked down for NOT being a lazy, worthless, putz! Interesting.

- I have no soul because I feel if you file for bankruptcy, you should have everything taken away and sold, and in return, you get a $5000.00 trailer and a 10 speed bike. Good Luck!! Well at least you gotta give Me some credit, it would certainly deter A LOT of people from filing in the first place!

---------------------------------------------------------------

Well, if all these things make Me the odd person out, then I guess that's just what I am. If all the rest of you want to keep rewarding failure and stupidity, I guess I can't stop you. All I can do is the same thing I've always done .. buck the system and keep being the 'Black Sheep' I was meant to be. AMEN.

Todays RBV: Mark 15:33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

I find it interesting that other than the Bible, there is NO record ANYWHERE, that suddenly the whole land mysteriously turned dark for 3 hours. You would think such an unprecedented event like this would have made it into just about ALL the records back then. Hmmmmm.
