I am the Leader of the Crazy World I am the Leader of the Crazy World... Let me repeat, I AM THE LEADER OF THE CRAZY WORLD!!!
Have you ever met someone and right off you thought to yourself, "This person might just be a tad bit crazy." However, you really had no justification for your thoughts, it was just a gut feeling, intuition, or some other supernatural force telling you to "BE AWARE".
Just for the record, crazy people are drawn to me like gays are drawn to Bette Midler and Cher. They are seeking out their leader, the one person that can take them to a crazy haven where all other crazies can unite and become a new nation, a new family, a new generation.
Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. ~ William Shakespeare
Crazy people are THRUSTING this role upon me.
Last Thursday night I am sitting at Boston Market and this lady comes over and asks me for 10 or 20 cents. My heart went out to her because she did indeed look crazy. I gave her two dollars and said a prayer that she would go and spend it on some food, and not on alcohol or cigarettes which she wreaked of.
A couple months ago at Einsten Brothers Bagels a guy walked up to my window and asked me for money, I didn't have any and I should have given him my bagel dog that I had just purchased, but instead I drove away and consumed the bagel dog smothered with mustard and guilt.
Then when I lived in Denton this guy came up to me while I was at the laundromat and asked, "Hey buddy, are you homeless friendly?" and I replied, "As a matter of fact I am" his choice of phrasing alone was worth the 5 spot the I gave him.
Then there was the strange black lady at the 7-11 that asked for a ride on Harry Hines in Dallas. I had to tell her no because I had a computer in my front seat- (Praise God) and because I had to get back to work and I had no time that day for the crazy lady.
Then of course there are my neighbors David and Ben the twin brothers that I believe are skizophrenic, and the list goes on and on...
The thing of it is, I can tell normally from the moment I meet someone if they are "touched", I try to avoid these people at all costs, but for some reason they seek me out, they know where I work, they know where I live, where I eat, and even what I drive.
Being the leader of the crazy world is not an easy job. I would gladly pass this cup to another more willing, is that person you?

I'm not willing to take this role from you, but I quite enjoy knowing that you have been elected to this position.
From now on, I will send the crazy people that I meet in the grocery store your way.
You've got to have supporters, right?
Eddie I always wondered what drew me to you. It was like you were in some way a beacon for my entire being. I just always wanted to be in your presence and maybe just maybe follow you in a parade or something. Wow that last comment actually may qualify me for craziness.
Good, I'm glad you are taking on this role so I can be relieved from my reign of duty. My duty was a little different though because I luckily did not have brief encounters with random crazy people. Instead, I have a tendency to have crazy "friends" that I have to deal with on a day to day basis. I have luckily removed all of these people from my life, but for awhile there, I was really considering making my psychology minor into a degree so that I could at least get paid for all the counseling I was having to do!!! ;) And I'm not talking about run of the mill, be there for your friend type of stuff, because I've needed friends at different times of my life. I'm talking full out CRAZY, like please don't make me take you to the mental institution, yes I'll go with you to the psychologist as long as you get help crazy!
Love the line "Are you homeless friendly?" In Asheville, we have lots of young trustafarians who refer to themselves as homefree. Lately, my six-year-old has become extremely concerned about these people and has taken to giving them Altoids from my purse as that is often the only foodstuff we have with us! I guess if you're homefree you don't mind eating an old Altoid out of a grubby child's hand.
Well maybe if you didn't look so crazy yourself... lol. (j/K) Maybe you have been divinely appointed to be the "leader of the crazy world"... if so, expect more encounters. lol.
I'm not willing to take on your role as leader of the crazy people - but heck if your handing out money I might pretend to be one!
Thanks for dropping by The SquareSlant. The pictures are of old Pinups - I just "put" my head into them. It is fun finding the "right" pinup for my post - glad you are enjoying them.
I also am completely unwilling to take on this role. I've had my share of crazy people often referred to as "parents of the 'not my child' kids." UGH.
Sent is friends with the guy that asks if people are homeless friendly ... he's working for Sent at kamp this summer in maintenance.
Since when is Einstein Brothers on the South Beach?
Eddie you are the ruler of my Crazyville. Your crown is in the mail.
I have been looking for sites like this for a long time. Thank you! film editing schools
