three years from the bird incident or so, i was thinking two, but im pretty confident it was three, either way, on with the fucking blog.
heading home from school, across the street from the junior high, two old men are passing out little orange books, and being that i am and have always been a bookworm, it was literal gold, a free book!
i had to have been about 12 at the time.
i dove right into the book, and had no clue what the hell i was reading, i didnt ask mom about the book, just kept it to myself, to this day i have no idea why. maybe i thought the free book was some sort of hidden knowledge, what the fuck, i was a kid and hungry for knowledge.
another year passes, and we move out west to arizona, by now, the orange new testament book has been thrown away, i didnt get what the hell it was saying, and it looked like a cheap rip off of some myths i had read, so fuck it.
my passing interest in whatever i read had weened to a wee blotch on my soon to be muddled mind.

I remember those. I remember some kids passing it around at lunch. Everyone had the giggles because it was about that whole "we want to KNOW your new friends" bit from the Sodom and Gemorrah story. You know, "know", wink wink, nudge nudge. Yup, that had everyone giggling. "Check it out, there's gay shit in the bible!" It was quite a hoot. I don't think giving a cafeteria full of kids the giggles was the intent of the pamphlet though.
lol, i got a good laugh out of that, thank you
