Actually, my own expirience would lead me to believe the contrary-- if my two dogs do not see themselves as the heros, saviors, and main characters in some kind of melodrama, they have fooled me. Such self-centered creatures. But perhaps at seven they are not old enough. I do not recall any of the giving, beautiful dogs venerated in the book being under ten. Perhaps there is time for a change of heart yet.
But back to the hero typing this post. Greek tragedgies always ended with the downfall of the main character, as well as his wife, his children, his children's children, their children, and the guy who owned the little grocery down the street where the hero once bought his Thanksgiving turkey. The downfall was inevitable and expected. However, for purposes of keeping the audience in at least a little bit of suspense, the Greeks came up with a few twists on the huge, great downfall. Of course, the downfall always came (couldn't let the play end happily or anything), but there was now a total of three different reasons why.
1. The unthrawtability of destiny
2. The terrible and irreversible misjudgement made by the hero
3. The TRAGIC FLAW

Wow, all I can say is wow. You really make your self out to have no confidence at all. I have to divulge though, that your words are quite adequate. I have never seen such flow and rhythmic movement in ones blog before. Whack Job, you indisputably do have (dare I say it) the most unsurpassed writing the world or conceivably I has yet see. I look onward to reading more.

I wish you would actually write something worth reading and that makes since.
Er, I believe it's spelled "sense."
I love reading you writing Whack Job. I love knowing that their are other people in this world that have the same views as me! Will read more later! Oh who is Nate, he sounds cute!
I don't care how you spell since! Ihave know idea what Taylor is talking about!
Somehow, I have the feeling that the previous six comments are all the same person. Hmmm... ;) I do have to say though, I was fooled by the first comment. The writing is actually really good! Or, at least it's camouflaged to look semi-decent... Anyway, I really like your writing Lovely. It's not only humorous, but also intellectual and entertaining. It helps me see how writing is really supposed to be done (or at least how good writing looks...). Keep it up! I certainly enjoy your many talents and gifts God gave you. :) Oh, and sorry I'm commenting on this blog post like a year after you posted it. I was just looking for something interesting to read (not that your recent posts aren't interesting, I just wanted something different, from the past).
