Well see you there. So, tell all those matriculating midgits what they missed by not electing you as commencement speaker.
Well theyll never get that because I lost, fuckers. But theres this big Gender Studies thing, no celebration of men and women making love. I support men and men, women and women, men and animals, everythingbut the way I was madeI love men. People are so concerned with picking apart "men" and "women". There is inequality in society, but we dont have to cover up the differences between men and women. There are differences and we should love those differences.
Ever seen boys throw rocks? I was in the desert with these two boys and we were climbing up a cliff at sunrise. They started a fire with four matches in the wind. It was incredible. On a ledge, they set up a tower of rocks and walked yards and yards away. Then they just started throwing rocks. Their movements, thats something beautiful that women dont have and thats why you got to love men.
Theres lots of reasons to love everyone, and we should celebrate all of these relationships equally, regardless of their point of origin.
