a positive liar
Saturday, July 30th, 2005Julie and i were having lunch at a diner a couple days ago during my break. prior to leaving the shop she had witnessed a ruff little dealing between arno and myself, then he had said some shit to her about how i’m a negative person. During our hamburger and coleslaw Julie tried in a gentle manner to share these sentiments with me. Obviously one can only react with cool calm collectedness when someones tells you, you’ve got a negative attitude and a propencity towards overreaction. In my head i was reeling, screaming how dare you all!, you people take me for fucking granted! you don’t even consider all the shit that stays in my head! and then, my calm voice saying, but they do have a point. it’s not their faults that you’re better than all those losers, and prettier.
but the more i think about it the more i accept that alot of the bad stink in my life has to do with the the way I choose to react to situations. and even though i do not like to be responsible for bad things, at some point accepting accountablity is the only means I have of getting permanently on the outside of my frustration and fear. Things aren’t getting miraculously better in my life, and i still get hot under the collar and people alvays side with julie as they have since we were kids, and i dont know how much of this is cause i’m a scary tyrant and how much has to do with her being sweet and pretty and seeming gentle. Julie is PURE EVIL! just kidding, she’s the bomb, and if she was mad at someone else i bet i’d be on her side.
yesterday we were doing a shoot and she kept being all "but how do i look, can i see in a mirror what i look like" and i was all "fuck you cunt! just trust me, i"m not gonna make you look ugly, besides this shoot is not about how good you look, it’s about me, so shut up!" and her and vanessa were all like, " you’re not very nice" and i was like "Typical you fugly bitches! i dont even want you stupid whores in my picture anyways, why the fuck dont you get up and get the fuck out of here, i’m prettier than you two losers anyways" and they were all like "no, take our picture, we’re pretty", and i was like "suck my bad attitude"
speaking of shoots and shooting my negative outlook, i finally replied to this e-mail from a private collector who bought one of my photos last year. he was like all :"how are you what are you up to" i waited three months and then replied with a five chapter novel about my descent into loserdom, and my hope for escsape.
It’s like my mom’s dreams come true, her overly confident and drop dead gorgeous son, goes on a humble pie diet, a never ending humble pie diet and rather than trim down to a respectable shape he gets lumpy and bitter, well i guess her dream doesnt include that last part, which is why one needs to be careful what one wishes for.
anyways, as is my habit i will end this here, despite a gapeing lack of closure. Lets just say, that like Joan of Arcadia, I am learning my lessons… slowly.
BGA.
