"Yeah you told me that you were an angel / But I already know what you came for"
So much for reinvention...maybe it's time to re-adapt to a time before I started giving a damn what people thought.
For those of you who don't know, WJMC is in reference to a podcast I used to do where the rules of decency were thrown out the window in order to get a point across. While I'm going to TRY to avoid doing that, because I do want this to get some readership, the WJMC here falls under the same rules that the podcast did, meaning anything goes.
One of the things I started thinking about earlier today is how drastically opposite the people we see are viewed in society. The asshats and the douchebags are seen as the respected ones, the people everyone wants to be like. The people who are honest and try to live by some type of moral code are the ones that get spit on in the process.
Take three people who happen to live in the same house. One, A, is honest, hardworking, and dedicated. The second, B, is a manipulator and loves to lie and steal his way to possessions. The third, C, owns the house and asks A to pay rent, but doesn't ask anything of B except the house chores (and half the time, A still has to do them because B is gone all the time). Now, let's say some of A's items start disappearing seemingly at random. A few months go by, and the items turn up in the possession of B's girlfriend, G. G originally intends to give the items back to A, but B catches wind of this.
Now let's add to this--it turns out B has a major attitude problem and can barely keep his temper in check 90% of the time. A has tried to confront B a few times, but A is a pacifist by nature. So when B finds out that G plans to give A back their items, B goes to her car and destroys the items before G has a chance to return them.
Now, if you were C, what would you do?
Had this been ten years ago, the right answer would have been to kick B out of the house without question. Not this time--in 2011, the correct answer is to ridicule A and threaten to throw everyone out if B is accused of stealing one more thing in the house.
Doesn't make sense, does it?
And yet that's the attitude we've adopted as a culture. We've allowed the theives and criminals of our world to become the people we revere, and yet those of us who are trying to survive by being the decent ones are laughed at and told they're nothing.
I ain't living life like that anymore.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm going to start smacking bitches with my strong hand and telling them they can suck my cartilage. But in the words of my ex-wife, the majority of people these days can have aeronautical intercourse with a forwardly-motivated pastry.
I'm done with people who would rather be with the morally deprived people of this planet. It's time to start respecting myself to the point where I demand that kind of excellence of the people I associate with.
You can tell me all you want that you're that way, but you have to prove it.
And here's a hint--using me, lying to me, or stealing from me won't work...
I mean, I checked in the last few relationships I had...
