So Many People in My Skin

pvchina
I am me and I live in my body, they say your personality makes up who you are. What about the other people who live with me. Me, I am a half way decent person, I don't kick dogs, or spit on the street. Nevertheless I am who is standing in front of me. I am you. Let me explain.

I have many different friends,which I tend to keep separate from each other. Because of where I live, the people are very diversified. I have some very conservative friends, when I am with them, I become conservative. My old pot smoking hippie rock and roll listening friends I will share a pizza with. My gay friends I become the fag hag of Vallarta. These examples still fall under the me category.

Like dolls on a shelve I keep my other self's. Some I like, some not at all, some I even name. Mary shes the gal I pull out when I am stopped by the cops speeding. She is soft and gentle and oh so famine. Personally she makes me sick, so she is never out for very long.

Then there is Jade, I am telling you, she is a bitch, she say things I would never say, the other day I am out in the car with a friend, we had gone shopping, As I am driving out the the parking arcade the attendant gave me a hard time, next thing I know Jade is there.

So you speak English, she said

Yes the attendant said

Well, enough to understand the meaning of Mother Fucker, Darlin, she asked.

I dislike Jade and never invite her off her shelve, she just comes out like a banshee, with her cutting tongue, ready to do battle. She is not at all like me or Mary.

I try not to put myself in some positions because these people in my skin, like to make themselves known. Not always wise.

I am not a writer, but there is the writer in me, I am not an artist, but the artist in me paints, I am not cold and hard but there is a doll on the shelve who cold freeze the entire tropics with one look.

One women cares about todays issues and how they effect the world, an other who couldn't give a rats ass.

Sometimes every thing is quite and calm, and I live in my skin alone, other times well......

Me, the primary person is a few lbs over weight, every now and then I think about going on diet, but were would I then house everyone, so on that note, I think I will have some chips. Oh and yes I use the word we all the time. Ignoring them would be so impolite, don't you think.

Night Jade, night Mary, night Gracie. night all..

I decided to get out of the rat race, find some more peaceful way to live my life. For the pass 10 years I have called Puerto Vallarta home. Bussiness lunches are often tacos in the street or a margarita...  View profile
