Today you're going to read a lecture. Why? Because you're reading this. I've been told by old friends and family that my piercings are trash. No, I'm sorry but trash is what comes out of your pisshole, asshole, and the things that wrap up what we piss and shit out. Why be vulgar describing "trash"? Because disqualifying anyone over anything by the way they look is vulgar.

As I had said to a dear friend of mine, Paige of IL (who did not insult me over the way I look, but just said she misses my brown mid length hair and JUST the snake bites) why I appear the way I do:

"New era in life, and helping a new era for life; to express how we all want and it be acceptable, even in the employment world. What the fuck is professional anyways? The successful [ness] in the business empire was out of playing dirty with consumers - looking professional is only a matter of society's OPINION and if my opinion doesn't matter, why the fuck should theirs? I'm breaking the rules to make new ones...or the lack of them lol"

Why should piercings and tattoo's be the disqualifying factor to survivalism? Should bald guys be disqualified from outdoor activities and jobs? Their slyly shaved heads reflect the sunlight when I drive and I have the visor down to block the sun, I want the sun to remain hidden. What do we do about that? Do we hand a hat, wig, or toupee over to them and tell them it would be nice to our burning eyes if they put the fucker on? No, we don't and no one ever will unless someone does. Why do it? It's "disturbing" much like us physical and bodily artists tattoos and piercings. What do they do to us? Stare, tell us to take the steel out or cover our ink. I don't like your fucking face, cover that up for me, okay?

The problem is, society has a bullshit image on how people should look when its our looks that don't make us who we are. I have been told (but not participated in for obvious reasons) that you'll find what we call "metalheads" at Christian concerts. Are they judged? No, not really because they're good at heart and listening to Christian music. Okay, so what if my musical tastes are NOT Christian based, does that make me a lesser man? No. If I was Hindu could I get a job? Yeah, no one that I know in the business world discriminates race, gender, religion, and such. Why the fuck should looks? Our looks don't sell our products; its the fact our products are fucking there. At a tattoo parlor does your artist sell you tattoo's because they have them? No, chances are no one in their shop did them and their tattoos don't mean a damn thing because we already picked ours out. If a man who has a fucked up face, smells like total turd, and resembles a thing that a camel and and a whale that fucked made, and a man can have an office job working for Microsoft who has multiple obvious affairs on their wife - then why the fuck can't a man who loves his body art get a job as low as stocking fucking shelves at Wal-Mart?

I worked at an ambulance shed in Cuba, Missouri and had to wear this stupid fucking snot green shirt for a program I worked for in order to work at the shed - my tattoo was showing every damn day and not once did I get judged - an EMT even had one. The "average" (whatever the fuck that means) person who gets picked up doesn't want to see a tattooed monster, but that dude just saved the judging asshole's life.

The point is, everyone is this...thing we call "human" and what we look like does not make us who we are. I can wear a cross and love it to death, but not be Christian - my neighbor could eat six different pills outside in front of kids, a S.W.A.T. team, and some traffic, but not be a drug addict because her doctor helped her out from a shit load of unwanted physical agony. What we look like does NOT make us who we are - we may wear something that has value to our beliefs or wear something that expresses who we are, but again, does not make us.

I find the color brown and when someone wears clothing that is brown, I see them as an over sized piece of feces. but in reality does that person really have the biological compound of being a living breathing piece of man shaped shit? No. So here's my messaged to the world. My opinion my not matter to you, and your opinion may not matter to me - we deal with it though. In the same sense, most people won't like the way I look, and chances are I don't like what they look like - but I deal with it instead of kicking their ass, striping them of their clothes, and tossing them over an overpass. I put it that way because all those fucks that keep me from having a job because I like my brow, septum, ears, and lip pierced and love showing them off might as well kick my ass, strip me, and toss me over that overpass.

In conclusion, I'm going to write up a formal document against physical discrimination in the employment world and will stand on the side of the road with those who agree with me hold picket signs defending that looks don't mean shit. If a fat man can marry and fuck a banging hot chick and be happy, then I deserve to have a job as a GM at a multi-million dollar making store with my tattoos and piercings HAPPY.
