beautifully human
Damn! What a shit storm these past couple of weeks have been! But do you know what the good things about shit storms are? Waking up and realizing that it hasn't blown you over, and you're stronger for it.
In fact, I feel reinforced in my stance on life. I'm Southern and don't fit that WASP-model, I'm gay and refuse to conform to that media-proposed mainstream gay culture (trivial.. trivial...), I'm intelligent but won't let academics run my whole life, I'm not going to believe or like something just because I am supposed to, and I'm not going to live my life to anyone else's standards... I'm David Lindsay Bishop, beautifully human with my own shortcomings and strong points. I believe there is a goodness deep inside every person, although sometimes it is extremely masked. I believe that humor is necessary in life, to lighten the load. I believe in the power of karma and the cleansing power of truly forgiving someone. I can be a hypocrite, but everyone is to a certain extent. I can't run away from the bohemian legacy, because no matter what I wear or where I live, I am still a hippie (ugh I hate labels, but oh well)... You may think I am weird, you may think I'm pretentious, but honestly -- Who cares? At least, I won't reach the age of 50 and feel unfulfilled.
You can tear me apart and examine the parts of me for better or for worse, that's your agenda. Ways that I fall short.. ways that I piss you off.. That's cool.. Just don't expect me to truly care
Well as much as I see the goodness in every person, here is an example of hypocrisy
The business department are a bunch of douche bags! They don't give a fuck about the individual, just their corporate, synthetic world they want us to accept. Hey, we use deceptive marketing in the business world, and that's cool! Hey, I'm a douche bag professor that is going to make fun of Jessica's test with the department head in ear shot of the students. I hope you all choke on the ridiculous amount of money Western spends on you, and NOT on the arts.
