woah blog!

[23 Aug 2006 | Wednesday]

so i obviously caused a stir with yesterday's blog - i have never had so many hits and certainly never so many messages in my inbox! so to those of you who wrote, and those of you who silently wonder... here's what you need to know: no, this was not aimed at anyone specifically. it was aimed at all of you, us, them... for everytime we, as a society, feel that we can improve our self image and increase our societal status by generating faults in others based on isolated observations or assumptions. was this a response to a personal attack? no. it was a response to the countless times i overhear such conversations and pointed remarks in grocery stores, restaurants, my workplace, your house, media outlets, playgrounds, schools.... did you say something to piss me off? again, not specifically. but if you even had to ask, then you are probably self conciously gulity of the pretentious bullshit i wrote about. but then really, aren't we all? what happened to make me "go off"? moreso than ever, the past couple of weeks have given me a strong desire to express the need for people to openly and honestly verbalize their views on what is wrong with the way we treat each other in an effort to bring awareness and possible social change. nothing "happened" yesterday... it's all been "happening" forever. finally i want to say i really appreciate your feedback. thank you for listening. much much love, polly
