Lutzenkirchen's a Good Kid

I got all verkelmpt... seriously.  I sniffled.

This story reminds me of how we define "blessings" in our lives.  Our definition of a blessing and God's definition are (as should be expected, since we're not God) often different.

"Oh what a blessing to win the lottery!"  But then you don't have to work, so you have too much free time.  You get into strip clubs and porn, then an affair.  Then your wife leaves you.  Your kids, which now blame you for breaking up the family, don't talk to you, and don't need to since they have money of their own and need you for nothing.  Your brother blows through the money you gave him, comes back for more, then hates you when you don't pay for all his debts and buy him a new car (like you did for your wife's brother).

So?  Blessing?  Or curse?

I'm sure that family wasn't thinking "oh what a blessing" when they found out their child had downs syndrome.  But now?  I'm sure they would all tell you she is the biggest blessing they've had in their lives.  And it's one they would never have asked God for.  But He knows.  It's quite the challenge to see things the way He does.

Since I dont work, am already into porn & strippers and with a gazzillion dollars can pay the wife off and  I can go play (God mints new good looking 20 year old gals every damn day), the kids already think I'm nuts and its not too hard to make more (see above about strippers and money), I dont have a brother, my wife's brother is an ass and in general I do not give a tinkers toot about what other people think...............

can I just go ahead and get my lottery blessing now?......please.

WAR EAGLE
 

ps: Hope God waits til the lottery is around the $200 mil mark before my "blessing" is bestowed....be down right cruel and depressing to win the blame thing when it is only around $20-$25 million......

You have made me see the error of my ways.

I bought some Georgia Powerball and Florida Lotto tix this weekend while I was there.  Obviously since I'm communicating with you fuckers today...I didn't win.  Don't play, it's a scam.

A guy comes home and obviously in the best mood ever. The wife asks, "What's the occasion, honey".

"Pack your bags baby, I just won the lottery...WOOOHOO.."

"That's incredible dear.  Where are we going, Paris, Rome, Hawaii..?"

No, no..you don't understand. I said pack your bags...I just won the lottery.

Jenny was my nom de plume from that place which shall not be named.  I do not go by that name any longer.  In fact, Taylor is the only person who still calls me Jenny.  Has he been pillow talking again?

Don't get me wrong, I have tickets in my pocket right now.  I didn't mean it CAN'T be a blessing, I just mean everyone automatically assumes being rich would be a blessing.  My point was that it often isn't.  (btw, I know you probably got all that).

Yeah, it was pretty hot that one time you said it while you were moa... ahem, never mind.

[CCTAU]

Fuckin' asshole.

Next thing you are gonna say you hated Corky.

Corky was great. He grew up learned how to pitch a baseball and spent years in the major leagues. He was one of my faves while with Atlanta. Not many people knew that he changed his name to Greg Maddox.
