SOUTH SILLY

You may ask yourself what is ‘South Silly’ since it’s my own diagnosis
of a problem that I have in my own world, and as a writer, I will gladly tell
you what ‘South Silly’ is. South Silly
is a condition that overtakes me when someone comes out of their skin jumping
into my world behaving so disrespectful and making me go so South on them that
it just gets SILLY! You see, I’m worse
than a Crack Baby, I’m a Jack Daniel’s BABY!
I’m from Tennessee! A Jack
Daniel’s Baby is worse than a Crack Baby because a Jack Daniel’s Baby has more
concentration.
Having this externally imposed hair
trigger personality is a difficult life but it is not my fault. Unfortunate and continual events throughout
my life have led me to this particular state of mind… I also must include many honorable mentions
to the MULTITUDES of ‘stupids’ that
I have run into that have seemed to have the perennial need to mess with my
serenity…
Another group of words I use for my South
Silly flare ups are words that are very apropos and I understood these words
spoken as soon as I saw and heard them spoken on screen… When I saw Oprah Winfrey’s character in ‘The
Color Purple’ tell her friend, ‘Get my kids home’ I knew EXACTLY what her soul
was saying to her and I knew exactly what her fear was. I knew she was saying to her friend a fact
that she had learned about herself as in, ‘I have no control of what I’m about
to do and it might not end well for my freedom’. So sometimes I call my ‘South Silly’ moments
my ‘get-my-kids-home’ moments… I thank God every DAY, every day I think
about it that is, I thank God every day for not having landed in jail. As a person who’s prone to South Silly Attacks
you know that sometimes when someone makes you go South Silly, and if you can’t
control it, then the kids best not be with you because you might lose guardianship
status if they are, based on your actions alone.
There are other characters in literature that suffer
from these very same and similar passionate outbursts that manage to escape any
serious harm or penal situations and I feel as graced and blessed as those same
characters… I think I am graced in these
situations because I generally take the high road and always have a foundation
of truth and moral conviction. That’s
where being a Jack Daniels Baby versus being a crack baby comes in handy; as a Jack Baby you have more
clarity… Tennessee makes you think.
I have escaped imminent death with my words and very few can do that;
and even fewer can say it.
The point I’m trying to make here is
this… I cannot be held accountable. It’s not my FAULT! It’s the JACK! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
You
see what I did here don’t ya? I’m
setting up my defense for my trial once again…
This is called a ‘premeditated defense’, the ‘South Silly’ defense.
