Emphatic

Daily writing prompt
Do you practice religion?

Spoiler: This is going to piss a lot of people off. I am not sorry.

The answer is no. Emphatically no. I don’t believe in fairy tales, never mind worship them. I’ve made that pretty clear about 1,000,000 times in the past. The answer here is as no as a no can get.

No.

Negative.

Not even a little bit.

Never again.

Never, ever.

That is the final word from me on this subject. I don’t care what anyone else thinks or believes.

Magic Kingdom

We’ve been in Magic Kingdom for a couple of hours and strangely the crowd might be the smallest we’ve ever seen here. It’s almost weird.

We have been bombing on and off of rides so quickly that I’ve barely had time for photo-fun adventures. You’re all probably relieved to hear that.

I Am Old

Daily writing prompt
Do you remember life before the internet?

I’m 53 years old, of course I remember life before the internet.

I graduated from high school in 1989, which means it was still the 70’s when I started school. We had things called libraries that were full of books you could use to lean things. We had newspapers. I actually had a paper route for a while. We had news on TV that wasn’t propaganda for a political party. You could actually almost trust what you heard on the news. Most of it, at least.

When you wanted to meet new people you had to leave your house. When your phone rang you had to answer it. Can you believe that shit?

When you wanted to watch a TV show you had to wait until a specific time when it was being broadcast, and you had to tune to a specific channel on a television that had an antenna on it.

Yeah, there was life before the internet. I was there. It was oaky, but the internet is better. I mean, you wouldn’t be reading this literary triumph of a blog post without it, so clearly having the internet is better, right?

Right?
