I haven’t seen a shaved man since the fourth grade. Well, except for my father. Otherwise, they are all artists. Suddenly, they all make some kind of art. Most often, photography. Cause it’s handy. And they are all dark and twisted. Misunderstood. Rebels. Most often without a cause. At 40+ years old. But also at 30. And at 25.
Go ahead and be; I’m not saying no. Artists and unshaven. Cause it’s hot. If it’s for real. If it’s really art, not just two sunsets and a dragonfly shot in raccourci, posted on Facebook. Sorry, and Insta.
And where is poverty? You can’t walk around being a dark and twisted artist when you make shitloads of money every month. Art, beard, grass, dark and twisted when you are an IT specialist and go corporate from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m?
I might be dumber, but it’s like…if you want to go and photograph the weed in the park on Saturday nights instead of banging the woman next to you, I’d say you’d better smoke it. Maybe it relaxes you. On this occasion, I recommend that you take that stick out of your ass, the one that keeps you straight when you tell her that you don’t hold hands on the street, you don’t kiss in public, and you don’t want to get married. Cause you are different. You’re not an ox. You’re a cow. Then you go home and sigh at Grey’s Anatomy. Alone. While you drown yourself in chocolate.
Sitting like that, blinking your eyelids like a mademoiselle while smoking a cigarette as you saw in the movies with Humphrey Bogart, no longer impresses anyone. Maybe, at most, a high school girl.
And, if you haven’t found out yet, I’ll tell you now: friend, you kind of missed the wave – it’s no longer fashionable to be dark and twisted. Unless you’re Ryan Gosling. Otherwise, it’s fashionable to be serene and happy, bro! It is fashionable to hold her hand and kiss her on the mouth and on the street, to open her door, to bring her flowers, to make her laugh, and to marry her. If you want her, obviously. If not, maybe it’s not her, but as long as you play a role that is not yours, the audience is going to match you!
