Weird Man

It was one of the rare occassions that I was walking across a street. I'm from LA, I don't do walking. Any way this odd guy started talking to me and then he said "Are you married?" I said "Yes." God yes. Hell yes! So he says "Do you have any friends with long hair who are single?"
"No" Fuck no!
He was a short guy, mumbled with one side of his mouth up and one down. Some kind of bucket hat, dark glasses...
Then he mumbles something else and pulls out a pic of a large man in shorts and a wife-beater hugging a pillow.
Keep smiling, edge away, nod head, move further away. The weirdos always want to talk to me.
Fortunately he walked away.
So I headed off to little hometown restaurant and had a BLT, fries and a Coke. Nothing beats that on a hot day. Lunch and a show.

Gone With the Wind

My pet bird flew out the front door two weeks ago and has yet to return. I keep having these feelings-I feel like screaming, I feel like crying, I feel like throwing things and breaking things. I've indulged in these actions too. That little bird meant alot to me.
I guess what I really want to say here is that feelings suck.

Christian love in action

Do I dare criticize a fellow Christian, someone I don't even know? Yes, I do for she did it to me and I'm not in a turn the other cheek kind of mood. Here is the usual warning: I am by no means a good Christian and don't look at me as a good example of Christianity or anything else for that matter.
Because I don't go to church, I called a prayer line...I do believe in the power of prayer, there is that much Christianity left in my soul's nature.
This gal on the phone launched into a tirade about me needing to go to church whether I felt like it or not (she dismissed problems with severe depression and anxiety and focused on how it was my fault...Me and the devil) and I should not be needy at church because it puts people off.
At that point (having to talk over her since she wouldn't fucking shut up...Like she was on some false Holy Spirit High) I talked over her saying that I was a mature Christian and I really didn't need false advice. Then I hung up and cried.
This isn't the first time...I might even consider I have the problems that other Christians accuse me of except that I am popular, well-loved and successful in other areas of my life. It's just these damn Christians. Maybe it's easier to blame the outsider than to really look in their hearts and examine their own corrupt nature.
Christianity is not, in general, a collection of grateful people, humbled by Christ's love and salvation. Christianity has been replaced by the Christian club which is a lot like the high school social scene and just as mature.
