I Am What I Am
The scariest thing about art is when there is a unique piece that directly mirrors your own existence. That is the case with Hillary Duff's opus 'I Am What I Am'. What scares me is that there is someone else out there that creates something that so completely describes my own inner-soul, without even knowing me. That is scary. Hillary Duff either is stalking me, or is able to look into a crystal ball & is able to look into my soul.
And I kind of like it.
These are the lyrics of her song. Read them, read them like you're reading my diary. The diary chapter of me after a fight over my parents not allowing me to stay up & watch Dawson's Creek. That chapter which I was moved by a Pokemon cartoon. Very personal shit man.
I'm an angel, I'm a devil
I am sometimes in between
I'm as bad it can get
And good as it can be
Sometimes I'm a million colors
Sometimes I'm black and white
I am all extremes
Try figure me out you never can
There's so many things I am
I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
I'm someone filled with self-belief
And haunted by self-doubt
I've got all the answers
I've got nothing figured out
I like to be by myself
I hate to be alone
I'm up and I am down
But that's part of the thrill
Part of the plan
Part of all of the things I am
I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
I'm a million contradictions
Sometimes I make no sense
Sometimes I'm perfect
Sometimes I'm a mess
Sometimes I'm not sure who I am
I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
Of all the things I am
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
Of all the things I am
The following are actual items from the song that directly refer to me:
Angel - I have in fact been deified by God as a winged ambasador to humans.
Devil - Not literally, but sometimes I do enjoy indiscrimanitely drugging children & later in my basement saw their limbs as their tortorous screams fill the void of their life.
Bad - I'm Michael Jackson bad.
Good - What is good? Doesn't being good at being bad count?
Million Colors - I don't know, I'll ask my wife how many numbers are in a RGB value.
Black & White - That is tricky, I will have to admit I only know of Caucasian ancestory.
Extremes - I love Moutain Dew.
Special - My councelor in school would always tell me that I'm special whenever kids called me 'retard'.
Beautiful - I do have a 10 inch penis, doesn't that count?
Wonderful - Now, that is relative, but I suppose I am full of wonder. But I also have some blood. But I'm pretty sure it's mostly wonder.
Powerful - At my whim I can determine if a computer is on or not.
Unstoppable - Well, I'm no Carter the Sex Machine, but my wife has difficulty stopping me from looking at internet porn.
Miserable - My Xbox 360 hasn't arrived yet. :(
Pitiful - This is a visual, you need to see my puppy eyes. Of course I don't have puppy eyes, I just cut some eyes from a dog & I'm holding them up to my eyes pretending they are mine.
Self-Belief - I believe I exist.
Self-Doubt - But I doubt I believe I exist.
Answer - 42!
Nothing Figured Out - Well obviously that isn't true, because I know all the answers. I don't know what Lindsey was meaning when she wrote this line.
Be by myself - I like to be by myself, as long as there are other people around.
Hate to be alone. I hate being alone, as long as everyone else shuts up.
Up & Down - This is self explanatary.
Million Contradictions - I can't verify this, so far I have only been able to count 2 contradictions. One being I like Bud Lite, because of the taste but also because it is light. The other being I consider myself a moral person, but again - that whole drugging / cutting children up thing.
Make no sense - Yeah, ok - Hillary does indeed make no sense, because I think I usually do.
Mess - I have those squiggly marks over my head like Pigpen in Peanuts.
Not Sure Who I Am - I'm like that guy from Memento, I have to get tattoos like, "Clean the cat litter when you come home from work" & "Wear gloves when you bury the kid".
Thanks Hillary! I'm glad I don't have to write a song about me, because that would be hard, so I appreciate you putting in those long hours doing that for me.
