True Equality = JUST ME

TODAY I HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMED WITH THE THOUGHTS ON HOW WE AS A SOCIETY ARE SUCH LABEL FANATICS. WE ARE BROUGHT UP TO BELIEVE THAT EVERYTHING SHOULD FIT WITHIN A PATTERN, FOLLOW A PATH, AND BE A PART OF SOME GREATER GROUP. WE IN THE UNITED STATES, I BELIEVE, ARE SOME OF THE WORST FOR THIS... DEMANDING COMFORMITY! TO FIT INTO A PARTICULAR PARTY, A CERTAIN SECTOR, OR FOLLOW A LEADER WITHOUT QUESTION.

WE PUBLISH MAGAZINES TO SELL PRODUCT... BUT MORESO TO LET US SEE WHAT "PERFECTION" IS! THIS IS HOW WE SHOULD LOOK... FASHION MODELS ARE ANEREXIC AND OUR KIDS DOLLS ARE FASHIONED TO BE SHOWING SOME KIND OF SEX APPEAL. GIRLS TODAY ARE GROWING UP SO FAST... LAY DOWN THE DOLL, PICK UP THE MAKEUP, BY 12 THEY LOOK LIKE THE PATHETIC POP ROCK STAR STAR. WHO IS NOW SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL ON DRUGS, PARTIES, TWO KIDS, DIVORCED AND THE MEDIA ONLY MAKES IT A HAYDAY OF FEEDING US MORE OF HER MISTAKES. OH NO WAIT!!! SHE'S A ROLE MODEL.. UR WUZ.. IS.."OH I AM CONFUSED"!!

TURN ON THE NET... LETS SEE... SELL YOU SOMETHING TO MAKE YOU LOSE WEIGHT, ENLARGE YOUR PENIS, AND LIVE FOREVER. EXCEPT... THOSE WEIGHTLOSSWONDERPILL... TRIMSPA.. ISN'T THIER MODEL DEAD NOW? LEAVIN BEHIND HER CHILD FOR THE UNKNOWN FATHER SHE NEVER MARRIED TO FIGHT OVER HER? AND, IF THERE WAS NO $$$, IF SPOKESPERSON MOM HAD STILL BEEN LIVING IN THAT TRAILER SHE WAS RAISED IN WHEN SHE DIED, WOULD ANY MAN HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR THAT BABY?

2008 ROLLS AROUND, I WENT SHOPPING FOR AN EYE ANDY CALENDAR. SOMETHING I HAVE DONE EVERY YEAR FOR YEARS. THAT BEAUTIFUL HUNKY MAN TO GREET YOU EACH MORNING AS U GET READY FOR WORK. HMMM... THAT MAGAZINE THAT YOU SUBSCRIBE TO.. THE LATEST FASHION... ARE U EVER GONNA BE A SIZE 3? HELL NO!
MILES AND MILES OF WEB PAGES, JUST THE NEXT CLICK OF THE MOUSE BRINGS THE SCROLLING PIX OF THE HOT YOUNG THING. PERFECT SKIN, PERFECT BODY, MAKING US LUST AFTER THEM, WISH TO BE THEM, OR HAVE ONE OF THEM IN OUR BED. MICHEAL JACKSON SANG IT.. P.Y.T. PAGE AFTER PAGE, HOURS, DAYS SLIP BY.... WHO CAN'T GET LOST LOOKING AT BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE? BUT WHAT DOES IT DO TO OUR SELF WORTH? I THINK I AM LEARNING IT ONLY MAKES ME DISLIKE WHAT I SEE IN THE MIRROR EVEN MORE. SO WHY DO THAT TO MYSELF? WHY COMPARE MYSELF TO 7% OF THE WORLDS POPULATION? FOR REAL... LESS THAT 7% OF THE WORLDS POPULATION EVER ENDS UP ON TV, IN A MAGAZINE OR IN THE NEWS. AND THAT INCLUDES SHOWS LIKE COPS AND THE TRASH MAGS. SO THE"SO CALLED" BEAUTIFUL PORTION IS EVEN LESS THAN THAT.

I AM DECIDING THAT I AM WORTH MORE THAN THAT. THAT IT SHOULD NOT MATTER IF I AM A GUY OR A GAL. THAT IT IS IRRELIVANT WHETHER I SLEEP WITH A MAN, A WOMAN OR BOTH! BEING REPUBLICAN, DEMOCRAT, OR INDEPENDANT DOES NOT DEFINE WHO I AM! NOR DOES BEING BUDDIST, PENTECOSTAL, BAPTIST, AGNOSTIC OR WHATEVER... NONE OF THESE DEFINE ME AS A PERSON!! THEY ARE LABELS! THEY ALL HAVE REASON, THEY ALL HAVE WORTH. BUT WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT IS THE PERSON... ME!! ME AS A PERSON HAS MORE WORTH!!! IT MATTERS NOT WHO I LOVE, WHO I AM MARRIED TO, WHO I DIVORCE, WHO I HANG WITH OR DECIDE I DO NOT WANT TO HANG WITH... NONE OF THOSE ATE THE DEFINITION OF ME!!

SHOULD YOU BE JUDGED BECAUSE YOU LIKE PURPLE? OR BECAUSE YOU LIKE TO EAT YOUR CORN MIXED WITH YOUR MASHED POTATOES? YOU LIKE BJORK... OK... WE CAN OVERLOOK THAT... lol!

ALL I AM SAYIN IS "WHEN DID WE BECOME SO DAMN JUDGMENTAL?" I REALLY DISLIKE IT ABOUT MYSELF... I WANT PEOPLE TO ALWAYS FEEL THEY CAN BE THEMSELVES WHEN THEY ARE IN MY COMPANY. AND ALL YOU CHRISTIANS OUT THERE!! YEA I AM TALKIN TO YOU! YOU WANT TO LIVE LIKE CHRIST? THEN LOVE... LOVE=ACEPTANCE LOVE EVERYONE!!! THAT'S WHAT CHRIST SAID!!!
E V E R Y O N E !
YEP.. ALL OF EM... BLACK, WHITE, MEXICAN,FAGS,STR8, BI, FANATICS, REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS.... YOU HEARD IT!!!
EVERYONE!!!

PAUL McCARTNEY WROTE "EBONY AND IVORY" IN 1982... HE AND STEVIE WONDER SANG ABOUT HOW THERE IS GOOD AND BAD IN EVERYONE. BLACK & WHITE LIVING SIDE BY SIDE... GOD BLESS EM!!!

MICHEAL JACKSON AND LIONEL RICHIE ORGANIZED "WE ARE THE WORLD" ALONG WITH OTHER SINGERS IN 1985 IN THE "USA FOR AFRICA" RAISING MONEY FOR STARVING PEOPLE... BUT WHAT ABOUT HERE IN OUR OWN CITY? OUR OWN STATE? OUR OWN COUNTRY?
WE DON'T EVEN HAVE MANDATORY RECYCLING IN THE MAJOR CITIES IN THIS COUNTRY. WHAT ARE WE DOING TO CONSERVE ANYTHING FOR OUR CHILDREN?
THE POPULATION OF THE USA IS LIKE 7% OF THE WORLDS POPULATION, YET WE USE 33% OF THE RESOURCES USED UP IN THE WORLD EACH DAY.
NO WONDER WE ARE LOOKED AT AS THE ARROGANT AMERICANS... MAYBE WE SHOULD LOOK IN THE MIRROR... AND GO OMG!!!
FAT... WASTEFUL... JUDGMENTAL... PORN ADDICT... CHICKENSHIT!!!
GROW SOME BALLS... STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU WANT.. FOR WHO YOU ARE.. LIVE YOUR DREAMS... GO GET THEM... STOP WAITING ON THE WORLD TO BRING THEM TO YOU!!! CAUSE YOUR LIFE WILL PASS YOU BY AND YOUR DREAMS WILL MELT LIKE SPRING SNOW...

MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE TITLED THIS AFTER THE HEART SONG "TELL IT LIKE IT IS"
MAYBE I WRITING MORE TO MYSELF THAN ANYONE ELSE... EITHER WAY...
I HOPE IT STRIKES A CHORD WITH SOMEONE! IF IT PISSES YOU OFF.. WELL GOOD... THEN AT LEAST YOU GOT YOUR COALS STOKED TODAY! CAUSE I WANNA BE YOUR FRIEND... BUT I WANT YOU TO ALWAYS BE KNOWIN WHAT I THINK.. AND WHERE WE STAND!!!
