New Outlook (part 2)

In continuation with the previous blog posts on a new outlook and attitude, they are many adjustments that need to be made.  There seem to be two types of people in the world : those who are allowed to do and say whatever they want and expect others to bow down before them, and those who are not allowed to do said things.  Which category am I in?  The first, not the second.  The reason that I am in the first is that when I talk to people (either face to face or on the phone), I am perceived as having an above average intelligence.  Is that the only factor?  Yes, it is.  Once another senses that they are talking to an intelligent being, they believe that you are not allowed to do and say what you want.  They even like to abuse you because they think that they can get away with abusing a person who has intelligence, verbally or physically.  Hence if you fall into the second category, the one who is allowed to do and say anything they want, you are perceived as not being very smart and therefore others take a certain pity on you that allows you to do whatever it is you are demanding. 

So with this being said, all I can say to others out there is to keep it on the down low.  Have you served some jail time?  Keep it on the down low.  Are you a slutty girl who fucks anyone?  Don't broadcast it.  I came across a guy from years ago on Facebook who actually wrote in his About Me section "5'11" very sexually active male who loves sex, camping, sex, Texas Hold Em, sex, and making POV videos of girls in thongs (up to age 40 who is in good shape)".  Ever since then, this description seems to have vanished.  It's hard to choose which from that description is more offensive, but my vote is in his lie about his height (he was shorter than me by a long shot).  Perhaps he wondered why people didn't take him very seriously.  All doubts are erased. 

The only suggestion is to do some double talking, speak in tongues, and never say what you mean or what you feel.  Because if you do, people won't take you seriously.  Pretty sad, but that's the world we live in.  Protect yourself, people.  Keep it locked down, and when you have earned a trust from others, only then can you allow others in.  Sad facts, but truth.  Keep calm and carry on.

The Distinguished Alumnae Award and the Sounds of Silence

    I got a notice in the mail (either snail mail or email, I forget which now) from my high school recently.  I usually give all materials, written or electronic, a quick glance here and there.  Besides the items that are obviously junk mail or spam, I usually pitch them out.  When I get one from my high school, I usually take it upstairs to my apartment and then give it a longer looksee.  Typically these small books are about 20 pages long, filled with updates of the goings on of those currently attending my high school.  I follow a few of them on Facebook and Instagram, maybe a few other miscellaneous social networks whose fire died down a few years ago.  Over dinner I might give a few things a longer read if they peak my interest.  This one particular one was of note because a gal who I went to high school with was being awarded the Distinguished Alumnae Award.  She was in my class as a matter ...

For Munroe

Hard to believe, but a third friend has died this year.  It's been rough having to see those who we love die around you, but this was truly unexpected.  Just last Saturday night, I was in Munroe's presence at the first Halloween party of the season and he was perfectly fine.  Bedecked in hip hop clothes, a sideways baseball cap and plastic, fake gold jewelry, he looked hilariously age inappropriate as a man in his early sixties.  We talked about nothing, or we talked about everything, or just how good the cupcakes tasted and he showed me he had brought a jug of vodka as it was a BYOB party.  And then, only two days later, he died of a heart attack (although not confirmed as the autopsy is not back yet as of this writing). Munroe was part of the Tremont scene, a staple at the main bar, Edison's (a.k.a. The Office).  He was an artist with a definite sing song quality about his voice, and he managed to be artistic without being pretentious about it.  He...

Naked part 3

Slowly but surely the movie is coming to fruition after a variety of set backs.  Everyone involved is working hard as their schedules and finances permit.  I knew that the director would one day call out of the blue and say "today's the day" and I would be off to the studio.  Fortunately I am in a position where my schedule will be fairly flexible and free for the next few weeks until I go back to work, so this is not a problem.  And since I am free like the bird, I will help in the causes around me and not make excuses for not doing said things.  I got notice from the director that the big day was coming to include me all of a sudden tomorrow.  However, I did not check my email until about 2 in the morning.  Oh no, tomorrow?!  Timing and scheduling was not a problem, I was free and able to be with them as long as possible with whatever needed to be done and I was willing.  It just so happened I had a problem with my presentation. When I ar...
