To Tell The Truth
***re-post from www.TonyaJoneMiller.com***
That last attempt at poetry was two haiku (haikus? What's the plural?) strung together. I guess I should have mentioned that. Lol. That's what I get for waxing poetic when I'm intoxicated by food and drink...
Ahhh, blogger's remorse. It's a new syndrome I think you'll be hearing about. Apparently if you put your life on the internet, people can *gasp!* find out about you. I keep reading these random warning articles that just crack me up. Prospective employers will check your FaceBook contacts! Loan officers can see what you write in your blog and will know more about you! What does your "online community" say about you? Cover your net tracks! The implication of course being that if "they" find out who you really are and what you really think, "they" won't want you anymore.
It makes me laugh, but it's really kind of sad too. So much emphasis on one's reputation rather than what a person actually does or the impact they have on the world around them. I guess I can't run for office, huh? I'm a pervert who writes taboo fantasies and takes photos of sperm-splattered shoes and has the audacity to openly share them. Ack! Does it matter that I am environmentally conscious, kind to my fellow humans, and generous to charity just as openly? Not if I want to tell the truth about all of me.
Some people will surely be disgusted or insulted by my erotic leanings and expressions. So be it. I'm willing to stand behind what I think and say and do so as to be a living example that a person can embrace the sexuality within themselves in a safe, sane, and HONEST way. How many politicians and law enforcement officials have to fall victims to their own hubris and hypocrisy before we realize that the current government-sanctioned marginalization of the vast expanse of human sexual experience is not just unrealistic but truly detrimental? So many lives and careers ruined because the denial of basic human urges and impluses turns people into liars and criminals.
Well, I politely decline to be either, thank you very much. *smiles* Oooh, did I mention I am looking into taking a photography class? I need to learn the language. That's what any new project is like for me- I have to learn how to communicate in the given situation first. And I figure before I spend money on a new camera or a basic lighting kit, I need to educate myself more about what's out there, what I need specifically, etc. I doubt I'll limit myself to cum-covered footwear in the long run. Photography first, then maybe film-making. I have stories to tell, you see. Words and pictures. Clean and dirty. Just like me.
