What is really scarry is I am no doubt the marker of normal... Behind the beard is a rather reasonable rational person. No beard and a suit I could be a lawyer or a real estate agent.
Man real estate tells you about crazy.
I worked a posh suburb, you know professionals, folk you go to for your tax return or surgery etc...and of course being only the hired help you listen and nod..I have had to nod to statements you don't would not believe...
Once I was prepared to consider myself a little unusual.
No more.
...I find my thoughts are rational, well considered backed by evidence etc.able to manufacture humour or enjoy it..you look at folk you know and really don't you find they are a little odd.
So many folk I talk to are just over the top..they want to kill their neighbour because they leave their bin lid open or the like..I try to say chill but that sends them into a lather punctuated with vile expletives.
Folk think I am odd because I am basically a hermit..even in the city...but I just find most people are irrational and mostly feeding egos that are insatiable.
I do hide behind my beard..no one wants to speak to a weirdo...I am not noticed thank goodness.
I listen to conversations at the shops ...I could write a book...so many ladies telling the kids..don't tell your father..re a purchaser of lollies for example.
And I am so sick of blokes telling me they will smash someone's face in..why tell me do it...or a crime boss I know telling everyone he has put out a contract on his/ was best mate...h CK if I was going to take someone out you would not know and I would be first on site to cry over the body.
The belief that possessions define a man..look at me I own this and it's one of a kind..who gives a damn.
And don't you love the guy who has all the girls after him...on his account.
And all the fighters...except they have never trained or been in a decent scrap. Look them in the eye and watch the blood drain from their face.
