My Autobiography

        I honestly do not have a clue. I just roll along. It seems whenever I reflect
    on my life I offend someone. I suppose you can't please everyone. Recently,
    I met an interesting character: Mr. Peppers. Mr. Peppers called me a bitch
    and spit at me. It was a street incident. I think Mr. Peppers was confused.
    I asked him why he was so upset. And he said he would kick my ass.
    So, I went to a police squad car that was parked across the street to make
    a complaint. The squad car started to pull away, but I waved it down.
    Police officer Zack stepped out. He said that he had seen what had happened
    and had had many complaints against Mr. Peppers. I was amused at the
    name. Police officer Zack approached Mr. Peppers with a second squad car
    and Mr. Peppers was asked to leave the shopping area. And he did so with
    a big toothy smile and a wave to me.
        That's my life in a nut shell. I didn't want to offend my readers by recording
    Mr. Pepper's use of the "N" word directed at me. Mr. Peppers is an African
    American and I am white. I kept saying back to him, "I'm not a 'N'' but he
    didn't listen. The owner of the shop where this incident happened in front of;
    back up my statement. Police officer Zack said that Mr. Peppers is an outpatient.
    He would probably be back. I asked why he wasn't arrested and it was simply
    because Mr. Peppers is certifiable and would be sent back to his group home
    anyway. So, Mr. Peppers is free to shout at people. I just think that's funny.
    Have I annoyed you?
        You know I like Christians. There so polite and they bath a lot. But, sometimes,
    you have people like to frightened people with his May 21st prediction
    of Doomsday. Let me testify! I have been dead. This is what happens. Your
    aware something is terribly wrong with your health, then there is total darkness
    and then you wake up in an emergency room. I did not see God or Angels.
    I like to poke fun at sacred cows, just to make the reader think about alternative
    beliefs. What if Jesus was born today? Would a skeptical modern world believe
    he is the son of God? Even if he performed miracles, a scientific explanation
    would be presented. Today human biology is scrutinized. Jesus would be
    a scientific wonder, but not a God. The Virgin Mary is completely absurd to
    the natural mindset. Do you understand where baby come from? However,
    if you want Jesus to be God, then his father cannot be a man. Unless, you
    believe in reincarnation.
          Which brings this rambling to Shirley MacLaine. I first saw her in
    "Two Mules for Sister Sara." And I thought, "Nice bod. Cute face. Crabby voice."
    Much later she started preaching reincarnation. I think I saw her on the
    Donahue Show, talking about skinny dipping in a cave and seeing past lives.
    Okay. So, there are remarks in the Gospel, "Some say you are John the Baptist
    reborn." The problem with imaginary claims is they are not real. How do you
    prove your John the Baptist? People can believe anything. There was at time
    when folks prayed to the Sun and made human sacrifices for a good harvest.
    Is that the correct way to live? We need facts that can be demonstrated.
    If it can be proven that cutting out a human heart from a living person will
    bring prosperity, then let's do it. Isn't the duty of a citizen to better his country?
    But, reincarnation is too vague.
        I would test Shirley MacLaine on her past lives claims. Does she know any
    verifiable details? Something that only the reincarnated person would know?
    And has it been kept a secret? Houdini left a letter with his wife with certain
    questions and answers to prove if his spirit was speaking to her through a
    medium. A very tricky thing to prove. But, Miss MacLaine as stated she does
    not care to prove her faith, but live it. Typical dogmatic thinking: "The Bible is
    the word of God, because the Bible says so. I am the reincarnated Jesus,
    because I know so." Maybe, Mr. Peppers isn't crazy. He is the reincarnated
    Richard Prior.

        Hmmm, I need a nap.
