A Warped POV by A. Dacosta Brathway

December 24th, Thursday/ I hate the X'mas holiday! Hate it! Outside of it being Christ's birthday, X'mas is lost on me.I cannot get into the family thing. My family just happens to be dysfunctional so what's the point in getting together? All we do is argue. I'm tired of that shit!
I would rather stay where I am, sit on my ass, and let the holiday pass.I don't get presents, I don't feel "warm and fuzzy" when we all get together and I hold grudges from past family transgressions and trespasses against me. Grudges is all I have to fight the fight with. I would love to put my foot in some body's ass but you can't do that to family, can you? So, what I would rather do is be left alone. I don't want to know about my family's problems... I have my own. I am not interested in who is sick and shut in... I am sick and shut in. I keep hearing the argument that the family is old; I am old too. Have respect for my age and my aging process. Why do I have to endure everybody bullshit and not receive what I give in return?
I know this may (or may not) sound petty but that's what families do. They act petty with the understanding that you should understand their pettiness while they remind you of how petty you are being!
Next year, I will be doing a very private holiday thing. I will sit on my ass and let the holiday pass me by. I have grown out of honoring a present rather than honoring Jesus. Besides, being a member of a dysfunctional family, there is no point in buying presents anyway. Who knows any one's sizes?

A Warped POV by A. Dacosta Brathway

December 8th, Tuesday/ Oh boy! The story is unraveling now! Tiger had chicks everywhere! And, don't say "Poor Tiger!" He is not poor. He has made enough money (so far) to be able to buy a 3rd world nation! He will never be poor.
The biggest mistake I think Tiger has made is he allowed his wood to become iron way too many times! (Get it?) He played golf with his sex life. He would hit, then follow his balls... Now he wants privacy. Of course he wants privacy! Wouldn't you?Whether he falls from grace in the eyes of the public cannot be as painful as the constant reminder he will have to endure just thinking about his life.He has been privileged most of his entire life and now... Well, he may still be privileged but he really blew it on this one. I mean, he is (was) thought of as the cleanest athlete in the world. He actually defrayed all scrutiny from everybody else. Not anymore! Everyone is suspect! Who's next? What's next? I swear, if I see any pictures of Tiger with a golf ball gag in his mouth...

A Warped POV by A. Dacosta Brathway

December 2nd, Wednesday? "FORE!" It's out! Tiger is hanging out!" It's in the hole!" This shit is kinda funny... Why? Well, what have we ever heard about Tiger Woods? He's the clean cut golf History chaser that will change what we think about heroes. He is THE representative of what we should want our heroes to look like, act like, and be like. Please... Truth be told, he is a high priced ball player! He plays for high stakes and he is good at it. Outside of that, he is disinterested in the public that worships him. And, he should be treated likewise. Tiger is not coming to your house for dinner, play with your kids, and enjoy your company. For those of you who are not over it, get over it. If you are looking for a hero, get with Charles Barkley. He can steer you in the right direction. To be honest, I'm glad that this happened. Now I can, maybe, watch a golf tournament with an understanding of who Tiger really is.Now-a-days it is difficult for me to think that any pro athlete does not have some dirt on him. You don't get "Tiger Woods" good and be squeaky clean.I admit, I was buying into the super geek thing. Now he is coming off more like a "stupid" geek. But I can not really blame him. Who can really live up to what he was living up to? I remember his mother proclaiming that he could never marry a black woman because she could not comprehend his life. How is it working out for the model?
