I mean, I always knew I was clinging to my religion and I always knew I was clinging to my guns. But nobody stepped up and explained to me "why".
I guess it made me bitter. So along with my religion and my guns, somewhere along the way I started clinging to my antipathy... and I still just didn't get why.
Well, now I know.
It hit me while I was laying on the floor doing crunches. The sun was streaming through the window and highlighted the foundation of the most core parts of that thought...
I am a typical white person.
I'm so extremely typically white, I just about glow in the dark.
I never knew this before. I just assumed I was sporting the "cancer free" look, but now I know. I should have calculated the sum of all parts: guns, religion, being downsized, living in a small Midwestern town...
Typically white.
And apparently, need a tan...really bad.

I call my wife "the mirror" in the summer because she can lay out for weeks and weeks and not get a tan. She is fish belly white as they get. Don't get me wrong - I am totally white too, but next to my wife I look totally tanned.
Doesn't count unless you are clinging to your guns and religion. Oh, and your antipathy too. You in, MidwestBitterBoy?
Man I am as atipathetically bitter as they get. Count me in.
