It has been brought to my attention that when i say, “i hate people”, it comes off a tad hypocritical…seeing how just about everything i do is for…”people”. i would like to make light of this situation if you would allow.  people have been for a very long time, and still are a crucial part of my life. my job outside of being a full time student is being an EMT. self explanatory there. my folks are in the ministry, and i have always had different strangers in my home; either sharing a meal, staying a few days, or just a few hours looking for help in some way. my passion is music, and theatre…both which are worth nothing without someone to share it with…you see where I’m going with this…

As a storyteller and a self proclaimed “talker”, finding “people” to spend time with is very important to me…and everyone sees this. now…to the point.

while being a social person one minute, and then later preaching about hating “people” the next, one could easily call me a, um…well, a lot of things….so here you go.

i love people.

i always have.

i hate society.

i always will.

there in-lies the difference folks. in a micro setting, the person is important to me…worth my time, but in a macro setting…”people” are not. “people” to me are just a tidal wave…pushed this way and that by whatever happens to be clothing their bodies, distracting them on TV, pumping into their ear buds, and filling their twentieth century-drive through-get it now-now-now-i want it big and shiny-can it be low fat-you’re not going fast enough-its all about me-one track minds.

so…

people out there…don’t worry, i love you.

but…

mr. society…leave my people alone. let them be their own persons…
