I’m tired y’all. (Which is why I’m not re-reading this for grammar and spelling mistakes. But then, do I really ever?) Not so much from the working stuff but from the adjustment I had to make in my sleep schedule. Then on top of that, socia obligations. I mean right now I have multiple IM convos going on. Thank goodness for the cell phone because outside of talking in my car, I haven’t had a moment to return calls either. Sheesh. I’ll be glad when things get more settled. And yes, I know I have some blog reading to catch up on.
Some inquired about the laptop. It will be small and cute like the old one. Thing is, who knows when I’ll get it. But I’m patient. Enough about work though…
Someone, Alec, who I don’t even know, called either me or one of the commenters shallow.
The more you put your thought into this blog the more I can see how shallow u r! sorry girl, that’s my opinion!
Clearly Alec doesn’t know me. Because if s/he did then s/he wouldn’t have added the whole ’sorry’ thing at the end of the comment. First, because I don’t think anyone should ever apologize for having an opinion. Be it popular or not, especially if they have supporting evidence. And even if they don’t have evidence, everyone is entitled to their opinions. Second, because if A knew me, s/he’d know that I am shallow. Not shallow in the ‘My man must drive a Benz’ way. But shallow in the ‘I like things pleasing to the senses’ kind of way. And please don’t offer a comment containing the dictionary definition. This here post is about the understood definition and its bad rep!
Who doesn’t?? Tell me one person who wants to smell sour milk or who wants to see something ugly or expereince anything uncomfortable!!! See, I don’t get how people get all undone about someone saying they have a preference for anything, especially when it comes to things assessed by their senses. The shyt is natural. Like me saying, “Short men?? I’ll pass.” (Disclaimer: Manfriend is not a giant. But he’s tallker than my 5 feet 3 inch ass.) It’s my choice!!!! It’s my opinion that Kajuana and short mofos don’t mix. We can be cool. We can kick it. We might even be able to do some recreational dating. But to be a couple? Not. No. Much!!!
Does this mean I’m not nice to short men?? No. They are cool. I just don’t seriously date them. I think when people state a preference people automatically assume that their aversion to “insert item here” manifests itself in poor behavior. Wrong!!! At least I don’t behave that way.
I also think when people own their shallowness, outsiders assume (a lot of assumptions here) that the person thinks s/he is the cat’s meow or set the standard for what is ‘all that’. Wrong!!! What might be pleasing to my senses may be completely disgusting to someone else. But the kicker is that it’s all my choice. It’s all how I see things.
I’m on the fence when it comes to racism. Can’t that be a form of shallowness too? As I’ve stated before, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having an opinon. Sure it might be wrong, unfounded, and dumb. So long as the racists doesn’t actt out, then s/he is actually entitled to their opinion but not illegal/horrible behavior because of it.
SHALLOW has gotten a bad rap. I don’t even know who started it either. All the people who commented that they enjoy their fancy gadgetry, are they shallow too?? Because they have a preference for technology?? Or is SHALLOW only wrong when it’s against peeople who aren’t attractive my mainstrean standards?
