I'm Emo

Nothing's working anymore. Things were getting better, I was getting better. I don't know what happened.

Wait, I know what happened. But I won't say it.

For a while I experimented with happiness. It wasn't really happiness, so much as simply a state of mind where the chaos and loneliness were in the back burner and I was just okay. I liked it, but I knew it wouldn't last. That little beam of light creeping out through the cracks was enough to make me smile, but I've exhausted it and it doesn't work anymore.

Now I feel sorry for the people who thought I was okay. It wasn't my intention and it wasn't a lie. It's just that now... well, now I'm back and I hate myself more than ever cause, most likely, I'll end up hurting every single one of them.

I'm not sure what's causing this massive outpouring of emotion, but it probably has to do with the fact that I've spent two days doing nothing but sleep, cry and cope with a nasty headache, and I just needed to do something desperately before my body starts to slowly decompose.

I'm sorry.

Token Gay

Watching Desperate Housewives tonight, I finally paid attention to the show after months of just having it on TV while I do other stuff on the computer. I was somewhat familiar with the relatively new gay couple in Wisteria Lane, cause they've been on the show for a couple seasons now, but today I got to actually see them in action.

How fucking gay are they?

I'm perfectly okay with gay people on television and blah blah, and it's cool that big TV networks are finally being "open" enough to put gay people on their hit shows. It's all good. What I don't like is the way they oversimplify homosexuality and dump it into the vast stereotype pool of television. I'm sick of seeing the same goddamned leather-pants-wearing, Madonna-loving, totally FAB gay guy and his down-to-earth, less gay partner throwing cocktail parties for their equally gay/troubled women pals.

Bullshit.

Dude, next time you big TV writers wanna have a gay character in your shows, why don't you try a little thing called CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT and try to puff up your flat, stock gay people. There's something you could be proud of. Turning people into stereotypes ain't good. Mostly because we all believe in that little ditty called individuality, and even gay people think they're unique and stuff. Crazy, right?

Brah, I can't watch TV anymore. Don't even get me started on House. Grrr.
