I'm Not Sure That I Am Able

I Think That For The Five-year-old Watching Mtv Right Now, Lady Gaga Is Going To Be An Iconic Person. In 20 Years, The People Who Are Here And Talking To Journalists Will Be Like, 'oh Lady Gaga Changed My Life, Nicki Minaj Changed My Life.' They'll Be Saying Who Influenced Them And It Will Be Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Artists Like That.

I Certainly Know First Hand The Waste One Lady Can Create Through Her Primping Routine, Because I Am A Victim Of Fashion: To Me A Day Without Makeup And A Bouffant To Match Is A Day Wasted. I Love It All - Whether It's Fancy, Cheap Or, I'm Ashamed To Say, Even If It's Bad For The Environment.

We Were A Small Group Of Weirdos And Baby Punks And Gays And Free Spirits Who Had To Use Our Imaginations A Lot. We Only Saw Pictures And Read Zines, So We Could Only Interpret The Aesthetic And Message Of Punk Scenes Around The World. We Were Basically The Duck-billed Platypuses Of Punk.

We Had So Many Milestones In America. We Were On Our Way To Universal Healthcare. We Had Gay Marriage. We Were Talking About Gender Fluidity And Trans Issues Openly And Discussing Them With Respect. It Was Almost To The Point Where Educating People About Transgender Rights Wasn't An Issue. We Were Including Trans People As A Normal Part Of Our Conversations Instead Of Seeing Their Presence As This Shocking Thing To The System. We Forgot That Those Things Can Be Taken Away From You Because There Are People In The World That, For Whatever F - King Reason, Can't Live And Let Live.

I Knew That If I Wanted To Stop Being A Pushover I Had To Get Comfortable With Small Rejections Myself. That Took Some Work, But Because Of It I Can Now Say No To Other People With A Clear Conscience.
