Ridicule Is Nothing To Be Scared Of

[greaves]

greaves - who has had his fair share of ridicule on JUB - is still gorgeous, intelligent, educated, paid a huge salary at work, a great cook, a life-long fan of THFC, a lover of Berlioz, ...

If you allow dickheads such as popes/imams/gurus/pastors/celebrities/witch-doctors/tabloid newspaper editors/politicians etc.. to dictate how you should live then you obviously have very low self-esteem.

The key of course is education. Knowledge is power.

 

[G-Lexington]

I'm not gorgeous at all.
I ain't that intelligent.
My degree isn't worth much.
My paycheck is tiny.
Most of my culinary creations end in "helper".
"My" team nobody has heard of.
And I'm usually listening to the likes of Rick Springfield.

But I'm still really happy.
And in fact, I hardly get any ridicule - here or elsewhere.

Maybe one of us is doing it wrong.
Or maybe, we just found different ways to do it.

While I was watching this talk show the other day
And on it there was this guy
And he was saying "When you let other people tell you what's right
when you leave your instinct and your own truth behind he said
that's a virus of the mind,
that's a virus of the mind"
Well I guess it's kinda like loosing your sight
For a second you think that they might be right
And it feeds the doubts that you have inside
It almost starts to feels like a crime
To follow your own rhythm and rhyme

I'm pretty happy, living in my
My own sweet time, living in my
I'm pretty happy, and I don't need your
Virus of the mind
Your virus of the mind

Well I went to this party thing last night
A lot of people I hadn't seen in a long long time
And they wanted to know about my life
But making me feel like it wasn't quite right
Like "Where's is your kids?" and "Where is you car?"
I said "I don't have either but I have a guitar"
And I ended up feeling like I was a freak
So I found some wine and something to eat
I talked to the dog to pass the time
I told myself "I'm doing just fine"
It's just a virus of the mind

It's just a virus of the mind
I'm pretty happy, living in my
My own sweet time, living in my
Yeah I'm pretty happy, and I don't need your
Virus of the mind
Your virus of the mind

It's in the deep of your soul, it's on the tip of your tongue
It's the feeling you get, when you feel young
It's in the sound of a beat, it's in the base of your spine
It's in your gut reaction, yeah every time
But they tell you what you should have, they tell you who you should be
It's in the pictures and ads and in the magazines
I'm kicking it off like a bug in the breeze
Cause is anyone out there inside me
I say "Is anyone out there inside me?"
I say "Is anyone?"

I'm pretty happy, living in my
My own sweet time, living in my
Yeah I'm pretty happy, and I don't need your
Virus of the mind

I'm pretty happy, living in my
My own sweet time, living in my
Yeah I'm pretty happy, and I don't need your
Virus of the mind
Your virus of the mind

Tell that Star Wars kid, Little Fatty, Moshzilla, Brian Peppers and others.

Ridicule can lead to exclusion from society.

 

[hermanding]

live up to your own standard and try to be good to others and YOURSELF - and banish that word from your mind

So Greaves is perfect.

Then why does he have any time to waste on a pornsite bulletin board?

Or time to waste ranting on and on and on and on about religion?

With his looks and intelligence, you'd think that Greaves would be a jetsetting wunderkind on everybody's invite list.

But he's not. Is he?

 

[Telstra]

"a life-long fan of THFC, a lover of Berlioz, ... "

what is THFC AND Berlioz ?
oh i think THFC is a football club.

curious, instead of saying I, you use Greaves, so Greaves isn't you.

 

[Fire]

And in fact, I hardly get any ridicule - here or elsewhere.

I'm not sure it's any sort of consolation, but I would ridicule you if it weren't against the rules.

Make the right buddies here and you can antagonize him 'til your fingers fall off.

Greaves is your wank fantasy, isn't he?

This is why you chase him around on here all the time and post in all his threads, even though you deem them a waste of time/space/whatever.

It all makes sense now.

[rareboy]

^Figures that you'd be the one to come to his defense.

You're still just sore about the gym thread.

But seriously, didn't you know?

You're my wank fantasy.

 

[Telstra]

i seems to remember a parady thread of you two, that thread was selling like hot cakes ....

Well, thats no real suprise.
You can join the long line of likewise disgusting old guys over there.

[rareboy]

^ yeah. Uh, sorry mybad. It was joke. Creepy closeted 'bisexual' guys who haunt the gym steamies and showers to get a blowjob just don't interest me much.

 

[blackbeltninja]

^Sure they don't.


Look, everyone, a flying pig!
