I created this monstrosity three years ago because I thought it would be cool to write stuff down. Then I realized that I write for a living so why bother? “Good point,” I said to myself, so I stopped after a few days. Besides, I’m a technical writer, not a writer writer. What do I have to say anyway? And who cares? “Good points,” I again say to myself.
Well, then I figure since I do all sorts of stuff without any thought to the wants and desires of others, why not this too? And since I’m still on a role, I say to myself, “Good point.” So here I am.
Don’t be dissuaded by the title you see. I heard the term “offen wrong” on Star Trek a long time ago, and thought it sounded evil. It was meant to be as it was said by an evil android about his father/creator with whom he was most angry.
As it turns out, I’m usually always right about most things. That’s not bragging, it’s the truth. I keep quiet when I don’t know something. Thus, I stand by my claim.
As mentioned, I do all sorts of things without giving any thought to anyone else. I run marathons-for the free shirts of course. Running is stupid. If God had wanted us to run, he’d not have allowed the automobile. It’s too hot to run in Brazoria County, Texas in the summer anyway. But to get that free shirt, one must sweat I suppose.
I mow the grass too; but in that case I do give thought to the neighbors. I don’t want to be that guy who has the worst yard on the block. We have one anyway, not next to my house, two houses down. It looks like a scene from “Rambo” in there. My three-year-old son can stand up in the grass and be as well hidden as a Marine Sniper on post. It makes one wonder.
