Ink Blot

I believe in the symbiosis of all things. The tree that waits by the river produces the oxygen that with sustain dictator and subordinate both. The fish that fill the water will feed the fisherman and the restaurateur. We take a chink from the chain and the web collapses. The inter-connected nature of life, death and anything in-between is the bond we rely on to make the world go ’round.  I am an environmentalist because there is no other way to be. Not and live, but then Death is only the next step of the journey, and it’s not as final as we think.

And then there was today. Awoke to find the house guests that we have sheltered for 3 months swindled us out of $700 and an XBox. WTF doesn’t really begin to cover it. All in the name of Christianity, these people were thrown out on their asses, fired from their jobs and left disabled with no place to live. So we took them in. Through the legal trouble, the local constable knocking on our door, the smoking, the lying, all of it. Now one is off in jail for failure to pay child support, the other has vanished with our cash and our damn gaming console. Is this what happens to those who open their door to the less fortunate? And here I don’t understand why people over the age of 30 are so bitter…it’s called Life, it’ll fuck ya every time. So these poor, noble souls we took in, all the while trying to convert us to be Saved…drunk our booze, swore in front of our kids, stole our money and lied to our faces. In the words of a man wise beyond his years: You fucked with the wrong ass mother fuckers. In-deed.
