The Black Sheep Chronicles - by D. Armenta

Are you a Black Sheep?

May 8th 2007 23:02
I know I am, for many many reasons too numerous to divulge here.

What makes me one?

-Did the exact opposite of what was expected of me: dropped out of college to join the Navy, flatly refuse to have kids, quit my respectable white collar profession to be a musician.

-Love writing to people; hate talking to them.

-Detest carrying cellphones, texting, and anything else that makes me feel like my personal space is being invaded.

-When I get really really depressed, "crawling under the porch" depressed, writing my last will and testament makes me feel better. Dunno why--it just does.


-I really just can't give a rat's ass about American Idol. I just can't.

Oh yes..and I also have a younger brother who is my polar opposite, throwing my "black sheepness" into the spotlight at family get-togethers.

What makes you a black sheep?

I hate cell phones too, D. Absolutely refuse to have one. My father insulted my wife and me and I am still waiting for an apology. The rest of the family thinks I am being unreasonable. I never studied in school like my sister did (4 hrs of homework every night) I got by on good looks, lol, and a terrific memory. Passed with an 85 average. I call 'em as I sees 'em and that pisses people off. I know I can be an asshole, but the difference is, I know when I am being one. Everybody's gotta have a hobby, lol.

Sounds familiar! I hope you enjoy inhabiting this space. I've certainly found it therapeutic. Best regards, Paul.

I also will not be having children.

There is only one thing I find cute; bats. Their little fury faces are so adorable! But that's it, everything else is butt ugly.

People? Pah! I'd rather be alone.

Peer pressure? Up yours! I'll do my own thing. I have never had the slightest inclination to do something 'because everyone else is doing it'.

Good for you, Wynona!! We have that in common.

Hey, I love bats--my favorites are giant fruit bats (flying foxes)..just about the most adorable creatures I've ever seen!!!

Hey, Wynona and D., bats are butt ugly as stated, but they sure do help keep the mosquito population down. I wish we had more of them around here.
