Let's face it.
As we (are supposed to) evolve, our lexicon changes, our perspective changes, and it's happening all around us. I hear new terms and before I can react, I have to look up what it is I am reacting to.
It took me years evidently, to realize that Karen was a pejorative term alluding to heartlessness and entitlement. If you met my Karen you would find a pure heart with a genuine love for all mankind, the planet, and its resources.
So there.
I can't keep up with all the sexual alphabets and a seemingly endless string of letters to acknowledge the simple fact that we are a diverse, multi-faceted group of INDIVIDUALS.
Let's just leave it at that.
Not every single variance needs to be recognized or established as a sect worthy of differentiation. There is no imaginary sportscaster "calling" the action: Let's welcome John to the game. John is a twenty-year old from Worcester, Massachusetts, and he is already a gay woman, but likes tea-bagging, so let's add a TB to the string.
Enough.
Here are Maddogg's new rules of sexuality (to be imposed when I am over everything):
Do whatever you want to do sexually as long as it is mutually agreed to and you don't go out like some asshole and post anything online about it. Don't jump on a tree stump and shout to the world what you are or what you think you are. No parades. We don't give a damn. Shut the fuck up.
You know we always thought our parents were so square, but as deviant as I was, I always kept the details to myself.
Work is another word that has undergone a total metamorphosis.
It used to be that work was a conduit to success in our country. Now it is just a by-way to "whatever" for the next generation. They just seem like better-educated and more world-wizened than either the "hippie" generation of the sixties, or the "far out" generation of the seventies.
I think we had more fun.
How about another four-letter word introduced to us in the political arena?
Woke.
I seriously had to go online to look it up because I guess I haven't been paying attention.
Now, my interpretation leads me to question how on Earth is it a negative to be "aware and attentive to racial and social injustice?"
And that is now a bad thing?
So if you are accusing someone derogatorily of being "woke" you are defending the fact that you are definitely NOT aware and attentive to racial and social injustice?
I guess you'll show them.
I am certainly in no hurry (Lord, are you listening?), but I can understand how some people with less of a desire to live could actually say they've lived too long and it isn't their world anymore.
Heartbreaking.
As much as I love them, we don't have any children. My books and my blogs (857 and counting) are my progeny. In keeping with my renewed interest in pushing forward with my novel, I will publish an next excerpt in tomorrow's blog.
Stay well.
