Jason, a friend for years, revealed a secret to me.
He bought an inflatable doll on Amazon, and to
his surprise, he said he fell in love with it.
He claimed he bought it only as a curiosity, kind
of like an experiment to see if it could arouse
any romantic feelings in him.
Despite the fact Jason seemed sane, he insanely
claimed the doll talked to him.
I met the doll Jason named Veronica, but I didn’t
hear her talking, except through Jason’s interpretations.
That was ten years ago, and Jason and his blow up doll
are still together, and he says he’s happy.
I will say this. He’s done better with his inflatable woman
then I have with flesh and blood ones.
And far as I can tell, he hasn’t lost his sanity, so maybe
he’s on to something, low maintenance and lasting love.

A hurricane blew a Christian church apart.
People wondered where was God.
Why did He let the church be demolished?
Where was the Divine protection?
Were the church members not holy enough?
Had the pastor comitted some grave sin?
As for me, I think some disastors are random
with no regard for the sanctity of a building.
Just as I don’t think praying has ever repaired
a broken down car, I don’t think disasters are
preventable by the holiness of a place of worship.
Of course, maybe there are some exceptions.
But in my belief that would be hard to prove.
I don’t think randomn disasters make any exceptions.
If a church if left untouched by a hurricane when
other buildings are demolished, I think it is more
likely just coincidental and not divine protection.

He had no problem with preying on
drunk women.
He had no ethics about it.
He didn’t think of himself as a rapist,
but he was damn close to it.
He enjoyed taking advantage of women
when they were close to unconscious.
He made have thought of those as
just more scores.
I think of them as nefarious, the dark
and soulless action of a monster.
