Silent Film Prejudice

Yesterday I did some recording work for a new song at my bandmate's house. Slept at 2 am and woke up at 7am. Freaking sleepy but still manage to greet his parents a good morning.

On my way to SMU, it started to rain and had to seek for shelter. Sat down at some unknown coffeeshop today. I was unaware of my bearings except for the spot where I parked Love Machine. I sat, closed my eyes and just slept. Literally, slept. People were just looking at me; the hawkers, the patrons. -Shrugs-.

I felt like I was like in a silent film; oblivious to what was around me and what was being said. People were opening their mouths but nothing was heard. It felt good. Really good. For an hour I slept at the seat and I could not imagine what was going on in the minds of these people. I prefer not to. I don't know why.

Picture this guys. Here sits a malay guy, with a guitar, a helmet, donning a weird hairdo and sleeping at the coffeeshop. hmm....... thinks....

I don't know what picture or perception that they might be having in their heads about me. I don't know why but if I were in their shoes, I would think of negative things. Sleeping at the coffeeshop......

Maybe I just don't like to be judgemental therefore I hope people are not judgemental about the things that I sometimes do in return; how I dress, the way I speak, the people that I have conversations with.

Opened my eyes reluctantly, glanced at my handphone, hoping to get a message from anybody and saw the time.

10am. Late. Oh well.

Lo0ked at the sky. The rain stopped at last. Took my bag, my Fender acoustic, my helmet and as I walked away, eyes were pinning on me. I just love it. Not for the attention. Don't get me wrong. But it's just the mere feeling of sorriness for those people who has nothing to do but cast negative judgements on certain people with certain attributes. I hope God sends some wake up call or something to them. Sickos. I don't deny that there was times that I have been judgemental about certain things.

This blog was just one of them.
