blast from the corner of my mind

Are you married? Do you have kids? i hear these questions about a thousand and seven times and each time I have to answer no to both. Why does everyone in the universe expect everyone else to be married with children?

.

Is it a requirement that everyone in the known world be married with kids? Well, imagine that expectation times a billion for anyone in the military! I do not believe everyone in the universe is required to be married and have children. Some of us go through life never getting married and never being a baby daddy.

.

Next assumption - "well you must be gay!" WTF!! So let me get this straight (slight pun intended) - if i refuse to conform to what everyone expects I must be placed in the other category! C'mon people think outside the box once in a while. I use to have the idea that I would be married and have children, but over time I overcame that obstacle and just started to live my own life and did my own thing. that is okay! Maybe one day I would consider getting married, but right now its not on the table. So do not give me that look. You know the one. The one where you turn your head sideways and try to make me fit into some category you can deal with. Not married? 36? never been married? no children? Oh you are gay! Well, fuck you and your feeble little mind!
