... one of the most cliche... but most true quotes ever!
Yesterday a friend of mine realized I have a blogsite, apparently read it and said, "didn't know you were such a wordy girl..you don't seem the type." Ookkaayy... I really didn't know if that was a compliment or not and I didn't know how to take it. I asked what he meant and he said, "it's a compliment .. thought you were just a party and bullshit type of girl."My first thought: What the Fuck??!!!
"Party and bullshit" type of girl?! I understood why he said party but... bullshit?! Does he really think I'm the bullshit type?! Does he think my life is just all party and bullshit? That I was put on this earth to take up some bullshit space? As one of my girls said it, "apparently I'm just some slutty attention whore who can't read or write." I have feelings. I have a personally. I have an identity. I have passion!! I have a life and I LOVE it. My life's not over, I'm still living it. I have goals. I've proudly reached some of them and I'm still trying to achieve goals I have and will create along the way.
Within a matter of minutes I quickly responded "Next time don't underestimate or judge anyone by what u don't know." He then responded, "never thought that you were so insightful ..I'm very impressed." Now, that's much better!!
After that, all I could do was literally laugh my ass off because I've done it once again. I proved someone wrong because they simply just didn't know the facts. I don't blame them. It happens allllll the time. Just because I have a vagina doesn't mean I don't like sports. I love sports; basketball, football, baseball, boxing, etc. Just because I go clubbing and love dancing, doesn't mean I love the music. I choose underground hip hop, jazz, r&b, neosoul, and indie over top 40 mainstream mash ups. Just because I'm from Hawaii doesn't mean I'm Hawaiian and live in a grass hut. I'm Filipino and I lived in a house with a partial view of ocean from my balcony. Just because I party like a rockstar on the strip in Vegas doesn't mean I always get wasted and pass out drunk. I stop at feeling a "good buzz" and sometimes I'm the one taking care of the drunks and being the designated driver. Just because you see my cute dresses and heels on Myspace doesn't mean my whole wardrobe is all glitz and glamour. I'd rather wear sneakers and a tee or tank and flats any day. Well...Surprise! This is ME!
I understand we all past judgment or have our own inside thoughts about people (I admit to that completely) but to express them so directly and naively without knowing or asking about the facts especially if it's demeaning ... that's just plain ignorant. Leave some room for the benefit of the doubt. 'Cause in the end, you'll be the one looking like a fool foreal.
And the last thing he said was, "I guess youre not just all looks...you got brains too ;p" he fkn should've just stopped at "I'm very impressed." Because, excuse me sir, "brains too?" Ummm... I'm the one that graduated with a Bachelor of Science, Degree in Nursing thank you very much. I believe I needed "some" brain to get pass that!
