Popularity or Not ?

  For all the folks I've met , nothing important
  in my life has been popular. Popularity is
  commercial. It is an advertisement driven media
  that encourages popularity. Of course , I had
  my moments of group approval , but so what?
 
  I think ... therefore who cares ?
  And more importantly why do I want to sell my
  conscious ? It is fun to mess with popular ideals
  and that is my pathology .. for you profilers.
  A lot of this mumbo jumbo monkey chest beating
  is instinctive ... But , what teenage kid
  would wear a kilt in Boston ? I did.

  My dad thought the kilt was cool , but could see
  a whole lot of ass kicking coming my way.
  I hate popularity.  The kilt thing was a St. Patrick
  Day angst..

        Saint Patrick converted Ireland to X-Mass
        and he was British. This all happened in
        the days of the ancient Roman Empire when
        every man wore a tunic or kilt.

  Mind you , my sisters liked to dress me up like a
  hooker from the age of 5 to 9.. I resisted as
  puberty kicked in to walk around the neighborhood
  like a $20 hooker. I was aware of the danger ..

        * WHAT IS POPULAR CAN GET YOU LYNCHED *

  What if the government made a law that all men
  had to wear kilts ? Would the pop culture encourage
  it ? Or would rebellious antisocial teens dress in
  white collar suites and ties ?

  It's all about how you want to fit in..
  I just don't care. I guess I'm a burn out.

  Tootles!
