Why can't I write?

People write different ways, there is no wrong or right way to do it. Some people make a list of characters and try to figure out who they are and what they are motivated by before they start. Some people write the beginning and ending and then fill in the middle. Mark Twain said he would re-write everything dozens of times. Write it once, then write it again, then again and again until he was finally happy with it.

The mixed race child.

I've noticed churches are kind of exclusive too, when they should be as inclusive as they possibly can. That's what Jesus would do. Plus church attendance has plummeted in the last 30 years. It used to be that 40% of the population regularly attended church and now it is less than 20%... and they're running people off.

Say where you're from.

I'm still waiting for someone to write "where you're from". Say "where you're from"?

And you have to narrow it down a lot more than just united states... I mean just writing that and not capitalizing United States makes me think you're not from the USofA. It's a big country and people from different areas act completely differently so normally we categorize ourselves at least a little. Even if you don't say what city or state you live in one usually gives some clue to the geographic location like the south or midwest or left coast...

Are pit bulls safe to have as a domestic dog?

Yup. There's no way that girl could control that dog if he wanted to eat you alive.

If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him

We drank real wine at communion at my church when I was a kid and I started taking communion when I was 12. So yeah the first time I ever drank alcohol it was given to me by a pastor in a public place and I was underage... those were the good old days.

That's too funny, I just remembered I was just telling my wife I wanted some of the greasy stuff for my hair for Christmas and she wouldn't buy it. "Greasy kid stuff" I mean, excuse me Sherlock. I actually remember those commercials too. One of them used to say "a little dab'll do ya", judging from what their web site says today it must have been Brylcreem.

I still want to go for the Elvis/greaser/Fonzie look. When I was a kid my mom wasn't about to let me out of the house looking like James Dean and now it seems my wife is in charge, lol. Now I'm even more determined to find me some of that there Dapper Dan.. Vinnie Barbarino got nothing on the doc, ha!

Oh yeah and my sister always had some of that Dippity Doo stuff in the bathroom. It was green and the smell alone was enough to keep me away from it. Kind of had the texture of jello too. No way I was going to put that stuff on my head. Besides I would have gotten beaten up on the bus before I even made it to school.. kids today get bullied? Pffftt.. when I was a kid even the neighbors were allowed to spank you if they saw you do something they didn't like.

And didn't Buddha abandon his wife and 14 kids and start sleeping around? I know there are some crazy stories about him, he wasn't exactly an angel. Of course Jesus Christ's first miracle was turning barrels and barrels of water into wine so they could have a big party at a wedding.
Seriously.. if you tell that to some redneck Southern Baptists they'll want to start a fight. I mean how can they be against drinking if it's a miracle to turn water into wine????
