Listen! Exaggerating your swagger until it’s
too awful for words will only transform you into a mannequin. You know
“mannequin”? They’re those dummies that dressmakers and tailors display their
products on. They’ll still be raggedy-ass dummies even if they were twice as
pleasing to the eye as they appear.
And about those ‘Tragedy High School’ graduates
that I have been seeing on here lately, posting 'selfies' that are 100%
counterfeit, but courageously captioned as: “Be yourself” grin emoticon. I'm
saying screw that cliché! If being yourself implies wearing a mask of lies and
living your life on made-up stories, then being you is a disservice to decent
civilisation, and asking you to be you will also be a very terrible advice.
But they say give credit where credit is due,
and I think I have to admit that sometimes I am impressed, in the sense that
some of these “mannequins” are so artful that gullible people tend to be
foolish enough to fall for their pretence, to the point of copying everything
they do, including their blunders – poor fools!
Don't mind me! The ‘International Institute of
Applied Cynicism (IIAP)’ is where I schooled at. In there, we frequently engage
in excessive complaining, but we’re not dream killers. So if living a life of
fiction is your life’s ambition, keep it up, but be conscious of the fact that
it’s a small world and people talk – I mean people can connect dots.
