so i'm having one of those "wait til u hear this" moments. i dunno if i said it on here, but i know i told a couple ppl that i called it that this would happen. to make a long story short, some of my co-workers think i'm gay.
many of u who may know me personally, know i'm silly and friendly and like to act crazy. many of u may also know i've been rumored to b somewhat of a ladies man and know i'm crazy about them. well, that part i've played down a bit so i could keep a certain interest interested. besides, i also dont act the same way my male co-workers act when a beautiful girl walks by. thats jus me and how i am. also, many may know i have a lot of gay friends. i tried thinking outside the box and assuming that with a combonation of any of those, ppl might think i'm gay cuz i'm around a lot of gay ppl, or i'm around a lot of women and it doesnt seem i'm trying to get with them, or the way i may act.
basically what that means is what i have a problem with. one guy i heard thinks i'm gay b/c i dont act black. thats something i've had a problem with for years. not every black person grows up in the hood. and even if i did, i dont have to act like i did or talk like i did either. basically thats the only thing that offended me. i mean i'm well aware i'm not the typical or stereotypical black person. thats one of the key things that make me different. BUT i'm not gonna say anything about it unless they approach me. however i was very appreciateive of michelle's mom speaking in my defense telling them that i'm the son of a pastor and i've lived in the suburbs all my life. so how do u think i'm going to act? dare i say it? a religious white guy?! hardly actually. i've also realized i share different sides of my personality depending on whom i'm with and where i am and what time it is. the purchase ppl are probably the closest to seeing how i normally am. i guessed cuz i lived with u guys. eh, whatever.
i shouldnt b worried about it. i know who i am and where i come from. i dont let what ppl think about me bother me that much. i think i jus needed to vent about it real quick.
