For many a year now I've wished that I was Jewish. Not for any paticular reason other than the fact that jews are bad ass man. That's probably why I have a strange liking for Barbra Streisand.
Look, I know that the last couple of sentences horribly weird but let me explain:
I love barbra streisand simply for the fact that she actually had a little balls. She wasn't very pretty most of the time ( her nose is like another fucking apendage), yeah she could sing but you really hated that voice by the end of the movie, and she was weird. She's was okay with the fact that she was a little weird though, that's what made her cool ya know?? And then she was jewish, something she wasn't ashamed of. She wasn't ashamed of anything she did really. In one movie, she was a woman dressed as a man so she could study to be a rabbi while being in love with her study partner AND his fiancee. Then, she marries his fiancee and manages to not have her wife find out she's not a man. phew. It's a pretty crazy little musical.
Maybe girls my age, not gay guys in their 40s, should take a cue from her. It seems these days we're expected to exploit ourselves, and our bodies constantly. But, then we're chastised for doing it by other women. We're weakest when we actually act feminine and strong. When we act like a woman. We can't be proud o f the fact that we had a child, or that we enjoy having sex for us. Babs was proud that she liked politics, or that she wanted a man that was her equal. She didn't wait around for some asshole to come along. She took care of shit. She liked her nose and her religion. She liked herself.
I want to have a little more of that actually. I get a alot of shit for being very feminine, for swearing like a sailor, for singing constantly, for my nose( which is also big haha), and for not really giving a shit. In all honesty though, I do give a shit too much sometimes. I want that shutzpah, maybe today I'll try it.
