My dad. My father was well ahead of his time, and openly disbelieved in God. When I was 17, it used to disturb me. I felt fearful for him because I was scared that he would not go to heaven. I would say to him "Dad, what do you think happens when you die?" and he would point to the ground and say "Food for worms." I love him, and I have most certainly become his daughter.
In honor of his favorite band and the atheism we share. Here it is;
"I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black..."
Im picking, most likely your dad had a great sense of humor then Tinkbell
ReplyDeleteYes, he is funny.... So is my mom, and the rest of my family for that matter. I can watch Jackass with my almost 60 year old father and he thinks that it is the funniest thing ever.
ReplyDeleteSome people could interpret my father as nihilistic. I do not feel that way at all. I am very fond of this memory, and I actually feel very privileged that my dad was as honest with me as he was. And, it is really funny.
ReplyDeleteHe could have given me alot of crap, but he clearly felt that I could handle it. And, I did. I love him very much.

ReplyDeleteL.o.l ..nice one Tinkbell hey thats excellent your family sounds great.Nothing like a good laugh its healthy and watching jackass will do it.They made a program a bit like that over here called "Back of the Y " you might have seen it.Here they are in wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_Of_The_Y_Masterpiece_Television
I may have to check it out. I love Jackass.... So funny. In Canada, we also have a really great show called Kenny vs Spenny, which is along the same lines, but a little smarter. It is two friends involved in competitions, and the loser has to do a humiliation. Examples are who can break more laws, who can stay chained to a goat longer and who can offend more people. Check it out on the downloads, its pretty wild.
ReplyDeleteYeah check them out they have them on you-tube.They are madd as a meat axe ..
ReplyDeleteI love comedy.
"It is two friends involved in competitions, and the loser has to do a humiliation"
I think know the type show it is..We had one here too like that two ex rugby players named Marc Ellis and Matthew Ridge who the winer often gets to humilate the other.
