Dear Friends,
One of my favorite movies is Scarface with Al Pacino. In the
movie, he speaks of being the bad guy. Most of the movie shows how Tony Montana
becomes the bad guy. In my adult life, I have been called a bad guy in the
sense of my actions. I spoke a bit about being good but this is about what I
have done to be considered the bad guy. Being the bad guy is not what it seems
but I want to see how I am considered to be the bad guy.
My favorite story of all times is when I was detained in Windsor
with a girl that I was close to. Someone else played a joke on this girl and I
tried to be the good guy but at first I acted selfishly. I wanted to leave this
girl in Windsor but someone
suggested that I go back to get her out. I got detained with the girl. I got
out first then she got out after me. Now what was done was wrong on my part but
was I the bad guy in this situation?
My issues with some of my girlfriends would be considered to
be acts of me being bad. I have been accused of everything outside of being a
choir boy. I have been called the anti-Christ, the devil, evil incarnate and
more. No matter what I have done to be good with these women, these women make
me look like the bad guy no matter what.
Like I said before, being bad is only as good as what makes
you a bad person. I don’t think I am a bad person. Being bad is not something I
am according to some of my new friends. No matter what, the stigma of being
labeled a bad guy sticks with you for a long time.
In Scarface, Tony Montana speaks about how if there is a
good guy there has to be a bad guy. That’s true with everything from comic
books to movies. In this world, no matter if you are being good or bad, there
is a line that has to be crossed. I have crossed that line many times and
either have been burnt or blessed. I guess it does depend on the severity of
what is done to be called good or bad. This discussion will not be over with
but only beginning.
