R.I.P. Michael Jackson
Sad ...."Thriller" & "Remember the Time" were my favorite joints. Its sad we'll NEVER see him moonwalk again. I'm still waiting for the media to say that they were just playing. Mike's passing fucked my shit up today. May his soul rest in peace.

Are you a Homophobe?
Well.....are you? (Whoever is reading this). You know what I hear all the time and it bugs me??? "Yo son...That's gay" or "This is gay" or "this place is gay". Why do we refer to something being bad as being gay? In my opinion these are typically fear-based reactions, but the fear is usually that of the social stigma of being labelled homosexual. Are heterosexuals scared of homosexuals because they think they'll catch something? I HIGHLY DOUBT IT...but I do wonder what goes on in ones head that thinks this way. For real for real, you might as well say that Homophobia is like RACISM or ANTI-SEMITISM and it dehumanizes a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood. In this day and age (the No Homo generation as like to call it) it seems like people are trying to put up a tough exterior and show off there masculinity instead of being who they are. I know MOST people aren't this homophobic!!! Are they? I blame some rap music. The machismo in certain rap music is so high that it easily influences people to not be themselves and fight anything that is different. Unfortunately being gay is at the butt of most songs jokes and it carries over into day to day life and regular conversations. Like some people, and myself, have been accused of acting a certain way or liking something different than the usual standards of living. But who is to say what I like is gay? Or what I'm doing is gay? I can see if I was actually doing a homosexual activity but if I'm just doing something that someone else doesn't believe in why is it considered gay? People should try seeing someone else's point of view on something before judging them and calling them something there not.

Conformity Is A Foul Way To Live
Why do people conform to other ways of life? Shit hit me like a ton of bricks a moment ago. Why do some people dumb themselves down to fit in? Is it to be cool or are they scared of being a social outcast? Personally, I don't know. Recently I found myself getting sucked into a situation where I wasn't being myself by a friend. Once in a blue moon this happens so I usually have to snap out of it and give sterl a hard evaluation. Are the people who submit to conformity so easily influenced by the social pressures of society where we can't think straight and give up our own individuality??? I've learned tonight that I'm tired of toning myself down or trying to be cool for friends and others. Its all about what I want to do and how I feel at certain moments. If I feel like being silly and acting like a cornball or acting conry or listening to a certain kind of music or dressing a certain way, that's on me and I'm comfortable being this way. Who are they to judge? Sometimes others make you feel that bad, thats what makes you try to be more compliant to there standards. Shit is tough. I'm trying to snap out of this mentality and so should others. We're born into this world individuals, don't die a copy.
