The dookie of the future...
Well.. this post is sort of a transitional thing; it has mostly to do with the differences in generation, and inherited faults. I believe this subject has some signifigance for everyone, and their family. Maybe I wrote this long intro because I felt like I needed to give some setup to it... maybe not..
Here goes...
Today when I got home my mom told me to bring in some coolers for a road trip she's going on... her exact words where "Bring in those coolers and its O.K. not to wash them out"..
OK I said, I can just haul 'em in and then be done with it... so thats what I do..
I leave and sit down... kinda tired.. kinda resting... kinda cranky.. but all-round good.
Then over my music I hear my mom yelling, about something? why would she be coming down the hallway? theres only me and my sister in the bedrooms... so I waited for her to pass...
Then out of nowhere shes in my doorway yelling at me about coolers.. and dog-hair?? anyways... so I take them out on the drive-way and do the washing that she had previously pardoned me of...
So I'm out there washing... and now we get to the meat of the story.. she says "I'm sorry I reacted so harsly about the coolers," which is a totally correct statement, and I love my mom enough to forgive her of some tedious and stupid crap like a cooler argument... but here it comes.. "..
BUT.." what is this? after the apology, a clause, a justification.. I didnt even hear her words.. they just faded like the white-noise of the ocean... and then it struck me; I had never heard a single apology from my family in my entire life without a big butt.. er, But. Apologies shouldnt have buts... either you're sorry or you're not.. either you feel remorse or you dont.
I've noticed in myself as well, that I always find a justification.. a reason.. a clause.. "well it wasnt my fault"..
Its my hereditary fault, not from genes.. but from upbringing.
Never underestimate the power of family.
And dont let your buts have butts.

So....
That camp I went to, it was a church camp.. and I dont know why I'm so embarrassed to say that...
Yes, I go to church..
Yes, I'm a christian...
Yes, I read the bible..
Yes, I'm a jesus-freak/religious fanatic..
Yes I said the J word... jesus...
Yes, I enjoyed that camp...
Yes, I like chillin' with the son of God...
I dont know why that seems so hard to say. I'm not going to cater to everyone anymore by ommiting what I am, so my writing seems more in-line with what they think..
And I dont think I'm going to hide anymore, because I dont think people will want to hear what my opinion is...
Forget the self-censorship..
