Last night, I ended up hearing an opinion about me I actually could have survived without.
No names need to be listed here, but honestly I'd expect that an Artist would be much more open minded that average people. Apparently that doesn't seem to be this case.
Normally I don't bother with people's opinion about me, whether they know me or not.
But I was caught by surprise when I realized all that he ever though about me was only based on my appearence and not my actual intelligence.
So in a certain famous danish artist's opinion, people like me (read: "overly" tattoed, with metal sitting on their faces and huges holes in their ears, etc etc etc... you get the picture!) are nothing but a bunch of low IQ, lowlifes, drug users, alcoholics, society losers who feed upon other peoples money *keep adding bad adjectives*.
I'm truly sorry but last I checked (which was about 2 seconds ago)!
I currently have two full time jobs, one part time and I'm a full time student. How in the hell do I fit into his description other than the physical part of it?
Yes I have metal sitting in my face, yes my ears have been "destroyed", yes there ink under my skin! But that does not make me a criminal.
I know a lot of people in the "alternative" culture have complained and ranted about this so many times before. I just seem not to be able to accept this.
I was raised by a hard working father, raised to be polite to those who are polite to me, raised to pay my bills on time, work hard to archieve what I desire. But most important of all is that I've been raised to not put up with closed minded people's bullshit!
If he should read this, well I hope you've one day will grow some guts and have the balls to come and actually have a conversation with me so, maybe one day you can trade that nasty image of me and people alike me out of your head and get an actual image of who and what I am.
