I used to be on the debate team in high school, but these days, I can’t say anything worth listening to when I’m standing in front of an audience. It’s so frustrating having the words flow so easily when I commit my thoughts to an empty page, and yet not being able to express myself through spoken words. I feel kind of like Moses. He was a poor speaker himself, you know. The only differences between us are, (1) I’m literate, (2) God didn’t choose me to save His people, and (3) I don’t have any magical powers.
Okay, I guess I’m not much like Moses at all. But sometimes I think it’d be great if, when one of my class presentations started to go sour because I was jumbling all of my words, all I’d have to do is wave my hands, and then huge tides of the Pacific Ocean would swoop in and tear into my audience. Nobody would ever drown, of course. They would all just get good and wet and plenty disoriented, leaving me plenty of time to escape. Nobody would ever suspect that I was behind the faux-apocalyptic tides, either. If you ever tried to implicate me to one of the audience members, they’d probably look at you and say, “Nah, that kid just has bad luck. Huge waves of water always come crashing in during his presentations.”
whyy was it that the guys on the high school debate team always got laid so much? they were always the first guys to have the giant orgies with like 7 hot girls! i was very jealous of them.
now i know why they got laid so much. because it takes real balls to do what they did and the ladies love guys with sack.
just be ur charming self KZ. especially when ur in front of an audience. the ladies will be clinging all over u.
lmao… this is the second time I’ve linked through the “recently updated blogs” on the blogger page to this one. I think that someone’s trying to tell me something.
Anyway, I can relate. I was on the high school debate team… and I can’t speak in public. I also depend on the written word… and would kill for the ability to stun the audience like that.
Sigh. Will just have to add this one to my favourites Wink
Well thanks Smurfy. I’m glad you got a kick out of my writing. If you have a blog of your own, I’d be interested to see what you have to say too!

“The only thing I wonder about is why so many default to disbelief rather than belief.”
Simple: there are so many things that are false in this world. Illusions.
