Biography:
Who am I and what qualifies me to entertain you. Well I could tell you the usual bullshit from the third person. That Brent Dawson is an emerging superstar on the comedy scene. Who literally has people rolling in the aisles with laughter. His comedy is a gift from heaven that heals us all on every level. If you go to one comedy show this year, Brent Dawson is the one to see. I could tell you that, while sounding like some casual fan who happened across Brent's comedic genius quite by accident and was so inspired he had to jot these nice things down for the world to see. But thats not how I roll. Why don't I just compare my life with yours. While your were out getting a degree, making the dean's list, earning money, owning a car, having a family, paying your taxes, developing a dependency on prescription pain medication to dull the pain that responsibility brings; I was out underachieving, dropping out of college, getting fired from a series of jobs that required name tags, praying earnestly for a sequence of pregnancy tests to turn up negative, developing a dependency to late nite informercials because they seem funny after 3 or 12 shots of gin, existing only a notch above mall security on the food chain, and still finding a way to let my umbrella be my smile. That deserves a little curiosity on your part, no?

An Arlington Texas mega-church, near where I live, canceled a scheduled memorial service for a Navy veteran 24 hours before it was to start because the deceased was gay.
The church’s pastor, the Rev. Gary Simons, said no one knew Sinclair, who was not a church member, was gay until the day before the Thursday service, when staff members putting together his video tribute saw pictures of men “engaging in clear affection, kissing and embracing.”
Simons said the church believes homosexuality is a sin, and it would have appeared to endorse that lifestyle if the service had been held there.
That's beautiful. And I can totally see his point. After all, if the church went ahead and performed the ceremony, the church would have been filled with a bunch of well defined men in assless pants and enormous cowboy hats. What kind of message would that send to the kids? If the church allowed that to happen, next thing you know, little Johnny would lock himself in the bathroom looking at pictures of David Hasselhoff without his shirt on. He would start plucking his eyebrows and hassling his parents to allow him to join jazz dance classes and change his name to Tad, not to mention day dreaming about a career as a flight attendant or a wedding planner.
And it wouldn't stop there. If they allowed "gays" into the church to mourn one of there own, they would start pointing out all the design flaws in the sanctuary, everyone would start singing along to ABBA tunes; not to mention the likelihood that Rosie shows up.
How could the Lord ever be pleased with such a display? People coming together to celebrate the value of another human being? Sharing stories of the mark this man has left as a friend, family member, soldier, patriot, general member of the human race in good standing... God surely wouldn't want to be closely aligned to values like that. I mean what kind of example would that set? Caring for another person regardless of their demographic? Supporting the grieving process of family members and friends? Going the extra mile for people who are different than you? Thats just not christian.
