What's hitting me?

Greetings and salutations,

My inaugural post on here is going to be short. I want to compose more, but just don't give a shit right now.

Across the social-matrix that has taken over our planet, I have subscribed to some interesting people and get regular updates from them. I, on the other hand am not always ready to blog about the 4th time I've picked my nose today... So sue me... (don't sue me, I don't have any money anyway...)

What I am getting to is that of all the subscriptions I have to view other people and their lives, the most interesting updates and blogs I have been getting of late have been from workers in the sex-industry. That's right, I subscribe to Hookers, Call-girls, Strippers, Porn-stars, et al..... They have not compunctions about what it is that they do. No apologies (at least the real ones don't apologize) for putting food on their table and a roof over their heads. Fact is.......I think that they are less embarrassed about how they earn their money than most of the average Joe/Jane Doe is over their mundane careers.... Sad huh? I personally equate the life of a sex-worker to the life of a Actor/Musician/performer.... "DANCE MONKEY, DANCE....here we may pay you for your time.... Be back tomorrow....rinse and repeat."

weird comparison??? Not really. All performers are media-whores. But, unlike the sex-industry workers, one must be exceptional at their performance to make a living from performing. Sex-workers just have to satisfy a small contingent of audience to make their money. Even if the sex-worker is merely adequate, they can still earn a decent buck or two. I.E. The Skyway Lounge in downtown Mpls. They are the C-Squad from all the other strip-joints in town. Not a pleasant place, especially on amateur night....

So, think about this next time you see a nasty-looking hooker on the street... "Do they really have it worse than you?"
