I took myself up to Langley today to officially apply for a passport. It is something I have wanted to do for a long time but found ways of not making it happen, something I am completely too good at! Anyway, I downloaded the application off of the Internet, filled it in, got my birth certificate and off I went. I came to a realization here awhile back, things don't have to be complicated if you just don't make them complicated. My background is completely clear and easy to understand but I don't have complete documentation on some points of interest to those that really delve into these things. Point at hand, I have documentation of Long going to Franco, and Long becoming Godsey but I have nothing that bridges the point between Franco and Godsey. And that gives the authorities fits! It takes a simple leap of logic to connect the dots but they leap not at all. So how did I manage it this time....simple....I deleted the Franco name and it sailed through. So why did it take me all these years to come to that realization? Heck if I know, but it did. And now, in 4 to 6 weeks, I will be available to run around the world at will....anybody taking a trip that needs my supervision? I will soon be available!
All this documentation is kind of a farce anyway. They make it feel like they are enhancing national security as you get this passport, but the reality is they allow all sorts of people with negative intentions into the country every day while they stress out about the Franco/Godsey situation. The only thing I have ever blown up was a potato in the oven and that has been years ago...you stick them first and then they don't blow potato chunks all over the oven to be cleaned up later. Potatoes are simple, passports should be too.
