"You know you done fucked up right?"


I've been told I'm intimidating...I look intimidating...I talk intimidatingly...I carry myself in an intimidating manner...


Hmm, how so I wonder. I've asked how this seems so to people who've said it, they've hit me with the old, "you just do" line which doesn't give me much insight at all.


Somebody once said it's because I don't smile...but who the fuck walks around smiling all the live long damned day? I tried walking around with a kind of smirk on my face...but then I just look like a crazy person. Then I tried pulling a Tyra Banks and walking around smiling with my eyes...but that shit is hard work! It's like walking around holding a sit up (if that's even possible).


Then somebody told me because I seem so "perfect" in so many words...my makeup is always done, my hair is always done, clothes pieced together, and the way I walk...but I'm not changing any of that! Shit, why would I want to? Doesn't that show pride in oneself? Taking pride in your appearance? I know if I have on sweats and a ponytail I may seem more approachable, but fuck that.


So maybe I'm just meant to be intimidating. I'm okay with that. Or maybe it's not me...maybe it takes a certain (assertive) man to see me and not read as assertive, maybe just maybe the reason I seem intimidating is because the people who say that I am are not up to my standards.


I'll go with the latter...yeah, that sounds good.

I never understood why people would go around telling folks to smile. If i look upset, do u really think that I would all of the sudden be happy after you interrupted my shitty attitude.

People who say that ish to you are so simple minded and weak. I've been told I look mean as hell when I don't smile. Does that mean I'm going to walk around cheesing all day? Hell to the no. My face can't take it. If they find you intimidating its because they only wish they were the same way. School 'em and keep it moving, pimpin'.
