The grumpy old man I'm referring to in this blog just happens to be my father. He hasn't passed away or anything but is sitting right beside me in his old rocking chair otherwise called the lazy boy. As each and every Saturday passes by he looks to the great invention of the 20th century for wisdom council and companionship, as I sit here on the computer writing an ode to my father. Our relationship started when he married my mom and in some strange way consummated their relationship..not for the first time because I believe I was born a few years after they got married.
My dad is a good man, he doesn't need religion he is too strong for that. His dad forced him to join the seminary when he was a kid and I believe my dad resented his dad, but as the story goes I wouldn't of been born if my dad would have become a priest because that's what his father wanted him to be. It's kind of funny that my dad went to the seminary as a kid, and always challenges me in my own religious beliefs being a born again Christian. He, I would say is not against faith in religion but I believe he has somewhat of an allergy in regards to holy living.
My dad can sit in front of the TV in his own little world, in which he calls Wayne's World when asked why he's so detached for everyone around him. My Dad likes his own company and the company that comes from the excitement of weird reality TV shows, mostly mindless humour which can occupy him for hours. I don't remember the last time he read a bible or a book but he gets very excited for his friends on the TV, who seem to give him more of a sense of reality than his family, even though he would deny that if he read this.
