Ghost Man On Third

Sometimes it feels like every decision you make puts the weight of the world on your shoulders. You feel like one wrong move, and you may literally crush yourself beneath a metaphorical earth.
I'm there.
I have T-Minus 2 months to reconfigure my entire life into some reasonable future I have to live out for the next..well, life?

I need a job.
A home.
A school.
And a new entourage to back me up at all times.
Preferably taller and more intimidating than me so I don't have to fight off the hordes of crazies myself.

Trust me, I was just there.
In a matter of 45 minutes I was asked for a cigarette, a quarter, stalked by an elderly woman for half a block, and had to walk by an all black church preaching on a street corner. I know you are probably saying, "Lance, that is racist. There is nothing wrong with all black churches." To you I say, "I completely agree." However, this all black church began to yell that, "All white people are going to hell."
Does Eminem count? He tries really hard to fit into the black community. Is that repentance?
Or what about Michael Jackson? Was he originally going to heaven before he realized he a was small white man stuck in a tall black man's body?
Do you guys claim Dennis Rodman?
Who gets Bill Cosby? Does God find his clearly white comedy funny enough for heaven?

Part of me kind of wants to show up at the Sunday morning service, and just yell out random 'amens'. Or, be that guy that obnoxiously screams 'Jesus' every 2 seconds during their song service.

However, I won't. Because unfortunately I'm nice, and I don't want to die.

Sometimes the world is a sketchy place, and it feels like you are forced to play along with a life you don't remember choosing.
It's like playing Baseball with only one outfielder. You just have to hope that life doesn't hit anything into deep right field, because there is no way that Stumpy the fat centerfielder that you picked out of sympathy will make it there in time.

"Take all that you have, and turn it into something you would miss if somebody threw that brick, and shattered all your plans."

Negativity will never be in my plans.
