ControversME!

Ok, so I've been told I am controversial and that I enjoy being so!  So what?

Now sometimes my controversy gets in the way of normal everyday activities and I must remember that I am not on stage or on the radio or being published, although I am publishing myself here.

My thoughts, jokes, opinions are not sugar coated and are not aimed at the majority.  But I do not and will not placate the moral majority in order to make them feel safe and secure while I feel muffled.

I have struggled realizing there is a time and place for my comments and jokes, etc., but who are YOU to define where the line is?  Why do I gotta worry about steeping on your toes?  Maybe you should lighten up.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a kind and vast heart; that I'll stand up for you when everyone else has turned their backs and let you down.  People who don't know me wanna label me as angry, sad, mean, controversial.

I like being controversial.  It means my thoughts didn't come out of a cereal box.  I spend every waking moment trying to accept and understand others, even when doing so sometimes drives me to the brink.  Is it so much that I ask for the same in return?

Words are meaningless and harmless unless YOU make them harmful.  Letters assembled to form words are not real weapons although their substance can take down armies and I admit that.

That's what I like best about myself, you can say whatever you want and I will not be offended.  I will hear your thoughts and opinions and try to understand where they came from and what they mean, but I will never make you feel like you cannot speak your mind. I will never tell you not to use, "that word".

Feel free when you're around me, and if you want a little controversy then bring it on, just be ready for my response.
