I hope as you keep reading my blogs you will learn more about me and about who I am. But one thing that you may not know about me is I am an outcast. Dictionary.com describes an outcast as some one who is cast out of, groups, society and just about anything you can be cast out of. That great definition is a great one. You don't really hear stories about outcasts, because no one pays attention. Well being a professional outcast I am coming "out" and talking about what it is like to be treated different. I'm not trying to say I am discriminated agents but being and outcast means most people don't listen to you, friends, family and especially peers. I think that being an outcast is being who I am. I will admit I am not the most athletically fit or the smarties kid out there so that means I am right in the middle. When it comes to basketball at school I am almost always picked last, unless people pick me first as a joke. I almost never get the ball and if I get the ball people call me out if I don't do exactly as they say. As a matter of fact I was called a "Faggot" because of my lack of basketball skills. You may ask why do I keep playing if everybody is a jerk to me. That is because I like the sport and I am not going to mope and whine and stop playing a sport I like just because I am treated differently. I am not only treated differently but frankly I am different. Instead of texting people that I'm board I do something about it. I usually write in my blog or go outside and get some vitamin D. I come up with ideas that I know will eventually fail but I stick with it until the end. I have tried to start many different writing related ideas such as a school newspaper or a magazine. I would get asked "do I get payed?" Those words that I would hear over and over made me decide to make a actual paying magazine. I passed out flyer's to my idea and just a little taste of what my peers thought about it was. One kids actually picked up a piece of dog Dun and through it at another kid. I went into deep despaired but because of my one law I obey is "They are just jealous." That one law as helped me start my blog and keep my writing career going. I just want everybody to know to never let someone out of a group just because they might seem different.
