Funny thought

You know. I had this funny thought after that last post. I wonder what would happen if my mother ever found out about this site. She would be pissed for sure. Or disappointed.

I hope it's pissed because I hate that feeling she gives when she is disappointed. That is the constant strugle of my life. I was raised to be a certain way. If I did not agree with that way, I was guilted into going along with it anyway. Now that I'm on my own, it is still hard to let go of that guilt.

I still remember that day that I asked my parents why their pope was tripping and not allowing women priests. Of course their first words were, "What do you mean OUR pope?" Not a mention of how I just asked why he was tripping or about the women taking a more predominate role in the church. Nope, nada, zip. I know it seems like such a small thing for me to do, but it took a whole lot of courage to say something like that to my parents. I normally just shut up and don't say anything about religion around them.

I can not be kept quiet any longer. I'm a man that has things to say... And I'm going to say them damn it! Try to keep a brotha down and he'll find a way to rise up and grow stronger in the process. Don't make me get all philosophical on your ass.

Shit. Now I'm all worked up. I need to go get another Frappacino... What? It helps me unwind my nerves.
