I feel... like one of them Date Friday, April 19, 2024 - 01:33 PM PST Topic Lemmings on Parade I want you all to know this... this is also sent to a young woman... someone I wronged... I hope she understands... This is an interesting story... last week... wendesday... I ran into this very attractive professional type who was eying my ink... (for those of you who dunno - I have over $7,000 of tattoo work)... the expression on her face... was unreadable... My response to being stared at.. by one of our own... is less than pleasant... I said something... pissy, snotty, degrading... and outright mean... and she just... looked shocked, ordered her food and walked away... Now... fast forward... Tuesday night... last night... I went out to goth night... and saw my friends... wearing my favorite mesh shirt. (shows off my tattoos really well.) and there is a touch on my shoulder... as someone says, "that is some truly impressive ink work." I turn... and you guessed it... there is this girl... standing there... the business suit is gone... her earrings were in, make up on... knock me down, step on my nuts and fuck me gently with a chain saw, hip high boots... I had... been the biggest prick to her... when she was one of ours... and had not even noticed... and I find myself wondering... how many times have we done that... how many times have I done that... I write this to urge us... to... look beyond... and give the "status quo" the benefit of the doubt... as we may be judging people before we see them... before we know who they are... THe sad thing is... is... she just blew it off... she wants to be my friend... I feel like such a jack ass.
