Annie’s Got a Gun (in Texas)

As an ex-journalist, I’m figuring my only outlet for writing would be this. So today, I experienced, for the first time, shooting a gun. What is it about heavy metal, a loud shout and the strong kickback that is so intoxicating? I believe, firmly, its something everyone should try. A good way to relief some tension, this not to exclude or top the old reliable — sex.

So, here I am in Texas, shooting for the first time. Shooting I like. Texas I do not. It’s a miserable state for all those who’ve ever heard “Everything Bigger in Texas.” You know what’s bigger: the a-holes, the desert, the prices, stupid drivers and rude shoppers. They are all bigger in Texas.

And please, for the love of all, stop calling it the South. Florida and Texas have always been “iffy” in my book.
