Open Your Mind

People have a tendency to call things with which they are not familiar strange or weird. What may be considered unusual in one place may be ordinary somewhere else. Sometimes things that people think of as odd become part of the norm and eventually taken for granted. For a long time I hated the word weird, because I was often described with that word. Then I came to realize that the problem was not in me but in those who describe me with that word. I now wear that word with pride. I am not the only man who would love to drink a man's urine while listening to Russian hip hop while he has me on a leash and gives me commands in German or Ukrainian. The last thing that I want to be is part of the American norm. I am the  way I am for a reason. I just haven't found out what that reason is yet.
