Background Check

When the air is filled with the smell of bar-b-q chicken, ribs, and smoked sausages.......while slow jams are serenading your ears in the background......and you are surrounded by familiar faces that you haven't seen in years.....it can only mean one thing.
It's A FAMILY REUNION.

So this year, we went back to our roots and they hosted the reunion in my mom's home town. It was great food, fun and fellowship as usual.
I wish that I could write about all the hilarious shit that happened down there, but that is family business.

What I can talk about is a conversation we had about Background Checks.
I want to get your personal opinion on this subject (not that it fucking Tatering matters).

So, after learning that one of our family members performed Background Checks on people, one of my cousins stated that he wished he could do Background Checks on everybody before he dated them.
WHY?????

Why, would you want to research every body before you went out with them?
That would take all the fun out of dating, wouldn't it?
So what if they used to be a thieving, homicidal, rapist.........
Can't people change?
How do you know that it all wasn't "a simple mis-understanding"?

So what if they have 6 kids and 3 baby-Mama's or Daddy's.
Maybe they got a chance to get all that out of their systems and now they are ready to settle down and be the type of person you need in your life.....

So what if they have 3 liens on 2 cars and 4 judgements against them in civil court.......
Why in the hell would you want to know that Corvette they are driving ain't theirs and that $200,000 house is 3 weeks from belonging to the bank?????
Ignorance is bliss. Let them drive you around town in that flashy car and spoil you with breakfast in a bed with a flat screen TV on the ceiling.
Worry about that other shit when the repo men get there. Carpe' Diem .

See, if you would have never looked at that Background Check report, you would have enjoyed life for the next 3 weeks...but NOOOOOOOOO,
You had to look at the damn report and judge them, for their past.

I mean, personally, I like to learn new things about people. If you knew everything about someone after the first date, what the hell are you going to talk about on the second one.
And as far as them being some sexual pervert.....who knows.....you might actually like some of that kinky shit.
leather..and shackles...and chains.......OH MY.
.......Just sayin
