My own lyrics right there.
This is probably going to be a brief one, but I have a rant to go on.
I'm sick of the ego-tarded, "me" centered society we live in. People feel so entitled to be themselves that they've reached the point of trying to force others to accept them at face value for no reason other than "that's the way it should be."
Maybe that's the way things should be, but it's not the way things are.
There's a push on the ol' FaceSpace for Tattoo/Piercing acceptance in the workplace, and I think it's a huge crock of crap. SORRY KIDS! Just 'cause you want to have the "right" to express yourself through images placed on your body for the world to see doesn't mean I have to accept it.
As a former, and probably future employer I'm just going to come out and say this. If you look like a mook, I don't want you to represent me. As the person on the right side of the desk, this is my prerogative, not yours. Sure the "mook" look is arbitrary, but that's the beauty of being the employer... It's MY choice, and YOUR choice is to do what you can to suit the "socially acceptable" image and work with me... Or not.
No stupid (curse word)ing Facebook group is going to take that right from employers.
I make a big point in my own life, but sometimes you have to fit in to get in. That's just the rules, and if you're not willing to follow them, you're not going to win the bloody game.
I'm not against a person's right to present themselves as they see fit, but I am against being told I should accept it. If you wear a dunce cap in public, chances are people are going to look at you like you're stupid... And that's not their fault.
Or, as my mom would say:
"If you can't run with the big dogs, stay off the porch."
Ugh... My stupid generation and their desperate need to stand out even if they have NO qualities that make them EARN it in a respectable way.
