Innocence and lies.

I watched CNN again. Nothing is new. There are people ripe with affliction and all we care about is someone in a vegetative state. Should we pull the plug or shouldn't we? I say, go ahead. Pull the plug. Let their soul rest. True they are alive, if you really want to consider that living. Say a prayer, sing a song, and move on.

As I sat behind the pane of glass that is my cage, I watched as the world slowly drifted by. I sat and watched as couples kissed passionately in slow motion. Saw a mother and daughter fight with such animosity that it felt as if they would tear the world apart with their anger. Just as quickly as they started though, did it end. The daughter broke down in tears and all apologies. The mother whispered into her child's ear that it was ok, everything's ok. Stop crying. It was beautiful.

I learned today that when a man begs for his job, it's a lot like when a man begs for his life. He was never worried that he may loose it until after he lost it. When he was rejected, he looked as if he had died. He did however learn to not take these things for granted.

My sexuality became a matter of discussion today. It was kinda funny really. This I work with is afraid that I'm coming on to him. That's not the funny part, this is. I told him not to worry, I don't go for that pseudo-thug thing. I think it's pathetic. He broke. The look on his face, so torn. But this brings me to a matter that I have mulled over from time to time. Why do most "straight" guys think that every gay/bi/pan-sexual guy they come across is automatically attracted to them? This is the second job I have had where my sexuality became an issue. I kinda get tick offed about it every now again, but then I just take a deep breathe and say to myself, "They're just close-minded bigots. They can't help it, they just donn't know any better.". I just don't want them believing that ignorance is an acceptable excuse. Since the "incident" didn't count as either harassment or discrimination, management was powerless. I was sooo shocked. (dripping with sarcasm)
