More Stories

So I don't want to dwell on [negative] stories but they are what have formed me as I am, my experience in life and so has God. My parents sometimes are a trip. Basically they waited until they were almost 40 before they had me. I was a Caeserian baby, not really sure of the complications, but most likely I was to big to come out the regular way. I often wonder, even if it isn't a family secret, but there are always one right after the other. But that's just the way it is. But recently since I have return to the town of my birth, seems like some things have remained the same, and some things are oddly different, like they are waiting to tell me they dropped me on my head at age 2 or something.

Anyway just recently I stopped by for a visit and the topics of conversation were light hearted and 'normal'....so my dad is basically becoming very hard of hearing. He's telling me about the top of lungs that only recently the world has been going to pot. Ranting about this and that on my left side, "and the Chinese have bought up almost everything, they own this country", and on and on....paraphrased.

My mother the other hand is on my right side getting louder and louder, "and the Muslims are having a march on Washington tomorrow". Of course they have been listening to one of their 4 or 5 news sources. One of the three network rehashed evening news stories, or tuning into the local AM station carrying Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved or that nosey hag Dr. Slaura. If they say it, it becomes law and religion in one. While I'm at it, let me tell you a few things about Rush. {Alot more on that}

So back to the kitchen table at the folks. There both standing there telling me all these terrible problems sponsored by the current administration in late 2009. I had told my dad 20 years ago, that the Chinese had bought a major building, I believe the Empire State Building in NYC, and I was concerned then that there are some things that people might want to be a bit alarmed about. My dad's reply at that time was and I specifically remember it.."well son, they can do that but they can't have the land underneath it, it's still American soil". True story. Now some people might consider me a bit naive, but I can tell you that if a country as a government makes a purchase like that they are serious about their motives to buy up as much of America as they can, and it's binding, and they will protect their investment.

And on my mom's comments, sure I'm worried about the constant threat of terrorism and crime, I believe that freedom of religion is covered in our Constitution, and I don't remember that the Christian religion or "Christianity" is really covered. More on this.....I was truly trying to stay out of it. My dad says during his prayers at the dinner table, "and keep this land a Christian land", which I knows he means well.

They were both yelling at the same time. Anyway the conversation had gotten out of control with the chaos of the parental unit's Gerital outbursts. "Enough" I had to shout! I think they were both pretty stunned. Dad went off and sulked in his chair, mom never stops, her hands always have to be busy, so off she went with one of here relentless projects. I just went over to 'hopefully' walk the dog if he'll let me, and just "visit". It.. {all of the world's problems} was all Obama's and my fault that day.

I know that they get and have felt pretty disappointed with me, but Lord. So sometimes yes, I wish I had buckled down in school and decided to become an orthodontist. All I know is I wanted to get out of school and play music which I had a small taste of, I also worked while I was in school and that also gave me a sense of paid responsibility and 'freedom'.
