After a very good dialogue with Chancey this afternoon about many things on many fronts, I reinforce the reasons why i admire him so much. Not many people understand the real Greg, they say they do and know how i was raised and brought up, all good Catholic upbringing with the right amounts of guilt, hatred and judgemental slayings of other to make the good book happy. Well I had nothing to do with that upbringing and ruled myself away from that whole Catholic thing at the age of 9 when the Nun told me I was going to hell fro stealing something and lying to my parents, granted it was a coupe of quarters and a sucker from my brother and i lied that i was not in trouble in school on a certain day to my folks. So off to hell i went as a 9 year old according to Ms. Nevergetlaid. With that sore taste in my mouth from the church of guilt i went on, my mother surprisingly didn't make me get my first Communion, or confirmation or whatever the fuck those jackholes do to make you spend more money in their church and make you feel that much guiltier as a result of being born a sinner and a human being! so back to my man Chancey who has some of the finest writing skills in the land and along with my son Brandon can always Wow me with the written word.
My man Chancey has thrown the whole Reunion thing at me over the past year or so and we both agreed not to go unless the other one goes, well i don't want to go and he doesn't want to go and as i told him ,I'm so over friggin high School and the few that i care about are Facebook friends and that's all i need to be honest here. The phony and synthetic astro turfer we call class of 81 are just that, very .very fake and i didn't like them in high School and they probably didn't care for my wise ass either so all in all win win for everybody concerned. Talking to Chance he and i are really on the same page when it comes to most everything ideologically speaking, we are both live and let live liberals who really think the bible thumpers and Tea Party extremist bought and paid for by big business we call the Koch Brothers and Dick Armey area fucking joke to intelligent people. I do appreciate his insight on most everything from Baseball to Red headed voluptuous woman that he truly is enamored by , to include ex porn stars and current Folk singers alike! I have reconnected with a few really good people via facebook but all in all it really is the last and first line of defense for Terria and i to communicate with our son braz in Afghanistan when he is there as he is now, we hope to hear from him and do on occation and thus i keep my facebook page alive and well.
Thanks Bob Chancey for allowing me to be me and not ever judging me or making false pretense about the way i was raised or my moral values, i have made so many mistakes but as red blooded human beings we are entitled to do that very thing and ask for the forgiveness from the proper person, not some red blooded sinner as i am, and thanks for also allowing me to speak my mind and never getting butt hurt when I do, taking the time to know me for me and not who you think i should be. No, Facebook is not a stage for me to perform, i don't know how to be anything but myself and the drum beat i call my own is all I know, it may be a tired song but it is my Song that i will never apologize for playing the way I do. And Thank you Bob for never condemning me for my indiscretion's a year and half ago, nor judging me in the least bit. I am very blessed to have the friends that i have chosen and the ones who have chosen me back and accept me for the flawed person that i am. I don't carry a bible with me but feel I am a better christian than most who do, i don't carry a firearm because my words and intelligence can stop a war from starting or end one after it starts!
