The best kind of writing comes from thinking on the page, not in your head, and you do a fantastic job of putting your HONEST thoughts into writing. On the contrary you shouldn’t apologize for your writing any more than you should apologize for your thoughts. They are YOURS. Own them. You’re a great writer!

Don’t ever apologize for your story telling. You will never please all the people all of the time. You have touched so many lives in a wonderfully, positive way.

@Carla

I loved this article until I read the apology. Thanks for raining on the parade Carla. Lamer on the part of the author for punking to the PC tools. I’m sure your half dozen cats were very impressed by your display of moral and intellectual superiority, Carla. Shouldn’t you be at a soup kitchen?

All of the homeless people I sell crack to are hilarious. Especially Rusty. He can whistle thru his remaining teeth. It’d be a great party trick if he didn’t reek of cat urine and was, well, party presentable. HA!

Thank you for your input Carla.

If you knew anything about me you’d know I rarely have bad intentions and this solely was a silly story. I am the girl who gives every homeless person money- my dad tells everyone I say ‘i love you’ to telemarketers to make fun of me. I apologize if you were offended in any way whatsoever, I wasn’t making fun of anyone- just recalling a funny situation.

I fail to see the real humor in this piece. It seems as if you are working too hard to be funny. It is contrite and the fact that you like or need to make fun of people less fortunate than yourself is unattractive. Perhaps you feel the need to make fun of homeless people in a vain effort to make your life seem worthy? I mean, too drunk to stand? Sounds like you are a few apple martinis away from haunting the subway platform yourself. Please try again. I think there is some potential in your writing if you pick a worthy subject.
