Today like many other days, i was forced into saying something i really didn't want to say, and something i really didn't believe and all in the name of political correctness and being nice. Which i think is fair enough as i think if we operate in these parameters long enough we will abolish, all forms of discrimination. You never hear someone call some-one a fat bastard or a skinny runt* it will be wiped out of pop culture forever and people would no longer discriminate against people because of their physical appearance. Oh i almost forgot the gingers, poor bunch of people, its sad that no matter how much they achieve in life.... at the end of the day they will still be ginger.... im joking i love all my ginger friends, but i do see what toll being a ginger takes on peoples life.... atleast im going to claim to, to sound more like the hero i am :D.
*i dont think "skinny runts" get all the sympathy they deserve. I'm one of those people that are a bit more slight of build than the average guy, but unlike many more of my kind i dont have any kind of athletic advantage on my larger counterparts. may it be reflexes, speed or strength. So sure maybe i could just go and have a burger.... GUESS WHAT IVE HAD 12, or maybe i could just go to the gym.... well yer sure maybe you could also do cardio. What im really trying to get across is that i think fat and skinny people should be seen as equals, you know a bit of gym and exercise fixes both our problems, we're really just the same. Abolishing the barriers between people of different sizes, thats what im all about.
Now, i work in a line of work where people skills are vital, so manners and etiquette are of the up-most importance to be successful in my job*. At least im sure thats what one of the HR(human resources) team told me, and i do believe that good etiquette is a vital tool when interacting with other people. Though its gotten to the stage where i suppress my opinion that much that i've become like a computer with allot of my responses question and answers that i use to interact with people (this being people ive just met, generally i find among my friends i can say whatever it is i want, without too much judgment, thats probably the thing i most value about my friends). To help combat this though ive recently taken advantage of the notes feature in my phone, where i type in what i would have said in the "room of no consequence"** , and then later going back and reading it for my own comical amusement(sad but true sometimes this is the highlight of my day), before then going through and deleting it all, so that if one day i do lose my phone people dont get insights into my thought about certain demographics, (thats me doing my bit to stay politically correct, i'm all about breaking down the barriers). It's little things like this that i think keeps me sane or otherwise. I think that wraps up what i wanted to talk about, until next time.....
*Just for the record i do a no brainer job in hospitality, where i either go around picking up empty glassware or serve patrons drinks, or sometimes i really skillful and i go all out, mix it up a bit and do both in the one shift.
**I'm pretty sure its self explanatory, but the room of no consequence is a theoretical room where i can go and say and do whatever it is i want with no consequence.... for me this can sometimes become a very dark place, though ill leave this for another entry at another time.

ReplyDeleteYes! Bring on "Room of No Consequence"!
ReplyDeleteAlso, you should change the colour scheme.. The white on black is killing my eyes...
All in good time, I'm just trying to find a good way of putting it into a 500 word diary entry.
ReplyDeleteAnd since you are one of my only readers.... i changed the colour scheme as soon as i could :), I hope its less painful to read, from an optical point of view
