26. Well I'm not a church mouse

Mon Jul 27, 2015, 11:41 AM

Jul 2015

I HAVE a life -

and my husband is in midtown Manhattan this morning a block from where yet another shooting occurred.

It's easy for the church mice who don't have lives to be smug superiors -

But the people that get out and about - it's not that easy.

Add in the fact that my cousin was shot in the face with a gun and died on April 13, 1991 -

And you will find -

Not one fuck to give about thugs with guns, what is reasonable and what is not.

You obviously have this sweet little life in this cute little corner of the world with daisies and shamrocks or you wouldn't speak about reality.

Hey - out here in the REAL world - where we HAVE lives - this is our reality.

Now back the fuck off.
