Why Believe?

Is everyone now beautiful? Is that what we have come to? I'm in favor of it, though I'm not sure that it's true. I'm in favor of the notion even if it is known to not be true. After all, what else is there? Why believe in self-defeating things?

Most of the ugly people I know are strangers. I wonder if there's any meaning to be harvested from that? The seemingly heuristic only thing is that I even like myself now, at least as far as appearances goes. If all the ugly people are strangers to me, I would seem to be in a very good place, wouldn't I?

Where are the rest of you? I wonder about shit like that. You need not necessarily expect a big wet kiss on the mouth, though! Life goes on, and halitosis prospers while brain cells decrease, you know!

  2. YOu're welcome. But since you know me, do I very often tell the truth? Just a question.

  3. You know I'm not picky about beauty, except in art. In people, I prefer the worn and quirky.

    It applies to me and the way I feel. Guess that's why I'm here, too.

  4. You have such odd taste in music. I used to listen to Jerry Jeff back in the day, but he's a Golden Oldie by now.

  5. Well, I'M ugly AND disgusting!

    Which may explain WHY no one knows me! (Or WANTS to!)

    Beat ya' to it, didn't I, Sir Rat???

  6. We don't hear the term "The Beautiful People" nowadays, do we?
    People used it a lot back in the ...er...70s, 80s(?)

    I reckon that as long as we're breathin' we're beautiful - all of us.

  8. C'mon, just LOOK at my profile---does it look like I'm interested in BREATHIN'???

    Add 30 years, change the hair to grey, plus the addition of a "considerable" number of pounds, and---business as usual....!!!

  9. Thirty more lbs. and we could make two of you. Why we'd do it, I don't know just yet! You'd probably just keep yapping in about the same way and wondering where the beer is.

  10. Why, you would ENJOY two of me! Put us BOTH inside of a large, easily-cleaned cage, and watch us beat the fuck outta each other!

  11. if there was a cage that large, you'd already be in it, wouldn't you? You could talk to yourself all day, whether to one or two.
