i'd just read the bible and well, it told me about being real inside. being real as in being honest and true without wanting others to see you in a certain way.
y'know, without the persona. sometimes, just sometimes, methinks people do things for the image. actually, a great deal of the time that people do things for the image. saying things for the sake of saying them; doing hings for the sake of appearing cool, pious, gentle, sweet... when in actual fact...
heh.
that happens a great deal in the media. people of the media have to be cool and worldly-wise because that's what they're supposed to be. they have to be attractive, eloquent, camera-ready and know what it is exactly that they're talking about when in truth... nothing against media people, honestly. i guess it's more to do with the idea that we're supposed to be cool.
that we know better.
ya think?
actually these people just may know better. it's a matter of connecting with the right questions that their knowing better will be revealed. we can't be as friendly as the westerners want to cut us out to be, because we're not. we're asians.
even westerners get tongue-tied sometimes because they hardly know a person and it actually takes a superbly friendly person (or a stupendously drunk one, for the dutch courage) to actually come to a group of people to say HELLO! my name is so-and-so and i was wondering if you would like to join me at my party at...
y'know.
...never mind. i think i don't know what i'm talking about at this hour.
and oh, yeah. my lady friend at the cafe is thinking of setting me up. i think she likes me. haha
