Am I?

I was indirectly called a bastard today.

In my acting class today we watched a rehearsal for one group's final scene. There is a pair of lines in the play: "You're a bastard" "Yes I am." Professor Scott was talking to Eric (the actor) about this line and was saying to him (in regards to his character) "you know you are a bastard and you're OK with it." Heidi, who is my scene partner for the class, then turns to me and says "Kind of like you." This was obviously meant as a joke, and I say stuff like it all the time, but there's certainly a different spin on it when someone else calls you a bastard rather than when you do it to yourself.

I talk about being a horrible person a lot, and I typically stand by that point. I'm very unsympathetic, and I have the tendency to find the negative in people and things and point it out. It's not meant as a hurtful thing, and I try to play it off as good natured, but I sometimes wonder if it doesn't come off that way and I actually hurt people.

And then I say to myself, "Oh well, whatever" and reinforce the whole being unsympathetic thing.

Love is always lovely in the end

This is just one man's blog. You will read about my life and what happens therein. Will it change your life? No. Should you read it? Probably not.

I guess this is a good a time as any to welcome any intrepid readers that have stumbled here from facebook. It should be noted that there is some heavy stuff that gets posted here. I should also note that this blog is about me and my outlook. This is one of the few places where I am 100 percent honest. That's not to say that my feelings don't change. What I wrote here three years ago is very different than what I felt three weeks ago, and that is decidedly different that what I felt three days ago. So intrepid readers, I invite you to comb through the archives, but be warned, if we know each other you might be mentioned, I might have used a pseudonym I might not have. Any thing on here is something that I deem worthy to posted on the netterwebs. That means it's important to me. If something I post here bothers you that's OK. But rarely (read:never) will I edit previous posts. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I may not be proud of what I put out here but I mean it. If you want to talk about it go ahead, I have comment links for all of the posts, or you can just ask me about in the real world. If it's here it's fair game for discussion.

Everything here is the intellectual property of the owner unless otherwise indicated. Steal it and I will have my posse of legal students attack you face. There is no fair use of it, just stealing. If you want to quote me, ask first.

Woot! Links!
