Bearded Wisdom, A ticket back to the nickel, and a Stereotype
*sniff*
That's the smell of Starbucks warm, roasted, dark, espresso, ground coffee. I like it.
I decided to have myself a pot, as I haven't had this particular bag yet.
I have trimmed my beard back again. Only took about a week to come in nicely, and I decided to go with a nice cheek bone trim, with goatee.
That's completely unimportant, but that's pretty much the definition of this blog, and especially what I have to write in it.
Tickets to the nickelback concert are pricey, and I don't know if I am getting floor tickets or not. I am completely dependent on my sister in this arena, as I don't have a credit card.
But hey, you can't walk with a broken leg unless you have a crutch ;).
I love it when people jump to conclusions.
Especially stereotypical ones.
Because I don't dress necessarily the way I used to around people, everyone thinks I am a child of satan. It's wonderful.
I love feeding people what they want to eat, because it just reminds me they don't know me at all. And it reminds me who is who in the world.
Does someone look inside me, or do they define me by what I wear?
That's one of the reasons I have significantly changed my dress, from chassidic, to rocker, to cowboy, to indie, to preppy, does it really matter? People are going to fit you into a stereotype by their own lack of intelligent understanding, so it does and it doesn't.
If you want to fit into a stereotype, it does.
If you want a good outlook, so that people will think you have a good in look, it does.
If you want people to accept you for who you are, it doesn't.
Because a gothic person is much more likely to receive shock when they stand up in class to talk about Freud, than a sweater, glasses, geeky boy would receive.
You are going to be whoever people think you are to them, so why bother?
It depends on where you are going in life.
I personally, want people to see my inside. Once they realize that they can't judge me by my looks, because they change too often, they'll look for something else.
If that doesn't happen, then they'll just think I am mixed up, and don't know where I am going - that's fine too.
Hasty judgments won't get you anywhere, and if that's where you want to end up, be my guest.
But despite all of that, looks are still important. Why?
Because you allow people to stereotype you, it's your own fault. So don't get all angry when people do it, it's inevitable, but that doesn't make it right either.
Fit in with what you think is right, and do what you believe in.
That's all that matters.
