fake and unnecessary

Nov 19, 2004 15:13

everything is so overrated.
to all the people in communities like anti_bush i want to say:
why are you doing this? he's already reelected. Find something better to do than bitch about how stupid he is. So he is, his policy sucks and america is doomed. Deal with it. It's over. There's nothing you can do about it.

to all the goth people out there, you're just as "original" as that girl in UGGs and miniskirt. You spend so much money on those boots and hair extentions and this and that. Why? What are you trying to prove? That you're more goth than she is because you waste your money on goth attributes?
You're as superficial and unnecessary as this grandmother in Flannery O'Connor's "A Good Man is Hard to Find":

The grandmother had on a navy blue straw sailor hat with a bunch of white violets on the brim and a
navy blue dress with a small white dot in the print. Her collars and cuffs were white organdy

trimmed with lace and at her neckline she had pinned a purple spray of cloth violets containing a
sachet. In case of an accident, anyone seeing her dead on the highway would know at once that she
was a lady.

And to all the GBLT people in communities like ikissgirls with their problems like "oh no. i fell for the straight girl again". or.. "ok ladies.. i need help..big help.. im going to tim the story up a little because its to long.. so my ex that i had been seperated for for 2 months.. well i started sleeping with my best friend... and well it turns out taht i am in love with my best friend and i have been i thought i was inlove with my ex but she was just my first.. i care for her and love her im just not in love with her.. well with my best firned.. i got scared that my ex was going to kill me if she found out about us sleeping together and it wasnt just taht.. we held eachother and talked and everything.. i love it.. i love her...anyways.. i was scared.. so i told my best friend....that sleeping with her was a mistake.. and ehn 1 week later i knew i made a mistake.. and we made up.. well then 2 days later.. my ex was back talking to me.. and she wanted to be with me.. and i told her i wasnt ready.. and she got pissed abou tit.. i got scared. i didnt want her to be unhappy.. so i blew off my best friend on us going to a dance together.. the next morning i realized.. how i kept doing what my ex wanted.. not what i wanted.. so i finally left .. my ex.. i dont want to see her talk to her.. or anything.. shes not very nice once i saw past the mask.. anyways.. well now my best friend doesnt want to talk to me anymore.. she wants nothing to do with me.. she says she wants time away from me.. and it could be anywhere between 2 weeks till 2 months..or never.. and tahts so frustrating to me.. cause she said she loved me so much.. and now i aparently dont mean shit to her.. do you think she still loves me? i personally think she still does.. she loved me for like morethen a year.. and it wasnt a planned love.. it just ahppened.. grrr.. im so upset.. anyways.. so she deoesnt want to talk to me.. and i really do love her and would never hurt her again.. like i did the way before.. it wasnt intentional. .."

All the "queers" who are engaged at 16. All the girls who shave their heads just to prove to the whole fucking world that LOOK AT ME! I AM GAY! THAT IS HOW I WANT TO BE PERCEIVED BY THE OUTSIDE WORLD. I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW AT ONCE THAT I AM GAY! I'M SO PROUD! I'M GOING TO COLOR MY BODY WITH RAINBOWS!
big fucking deal. If all you define yourself by is your sexuality then you're in for some big surprise - nobody cares.

Why is everyone trying to prove something?
What are you trying to prove?
You think you're changing the world? Well you're not.
You're just a fart in the wind. When you die and engrave something like "I WAS GAY" or "I WAS GOTH" or "I WAS A DUMB CHEERLEADER SLUT" on your tombstone people who'll see it will give less a fuck than people who see you on the streets today.
Don't shout out your fakeness.

I am not outspoken. I am myself. And what i say or do does not have a "i do it to prove something" behind it. What i say or do is because that's what i REALLY think or feel.

We lack genuine people in this world.
And the rest of the world is turning into America, the queen of fake values.

I wish we could go back to the beginning of times when knowledge was knowledge and power was power.
As simple as that.

"This girl, her latest "work" was stuffing a teddy bear with dog shit. She worked with her hands inside blue rubber gloves so thick she could almost not bend her fingers. According to her, beauty was a stale concept. Superficial. A cheat. She was working a new vein. A new twist on a classic Dada theme. In her studio, she had the little teddy bear already gutted out, its fake fur spread open autopsy-style, ready to turn into art. Her rubber gloves smeared with brown stink, she could hardly hold the needle and red suture thread. Her title for all this was Illusions of Childhood".
