Uhh, you should probably keep being human.




Ok. Oooook. So the other night I was at a show watching my friends bands play when ever so suddenly a couple of females (I think) walk in wearing standard Hot Topic attire (see: bondage pants and Twilight shirts). But that my friends, is nothing. You can stumble across that every friday night at the movie theater or the local strip mall. What I saw when these two turned around was more than alarming. They were wearing...TAILS. TAAAIIIIIILLLLLLSSSSS. Not rat tails in the hair sense, not Tails the Sonic the Hedgehog character, but legitimate animal tails. I believe these were raccoon tails to be precise. I'm pretty sure that my friends and I collectively and simultaneously turned to each other with vivid looks of shock and confusion. Are these people? Real humans? Was this venue really a time warp back to B.C.? Were we on an episode of the Twilight Zone; Teen Wolf perhaps? Man, I almost wish it were one of those. Unfortunately, these were people finding acceptance in pretending to be less than 100% human.

My friends really wanted to get the scoop and ask these girls why they were wearing tails, but didn't want to offend them (yes, contrary to what goes on from my mind to my blogs, my friends and I are nice people). The great thing was that we were informed by our friend that his friend sent him a text, telling him that she asked the girls in the bathroom why they were wearing tails. According to the girl who asked, they got pretty peeved, but actually gave an informative answer. This was the answer she received: "It is a belief that humans take on animal form and vice versa." WHAT? WHAAAT? Have you ever heard something so bizarre and embarrassing that even though it is funny, you can't even laugh? This is what happened to me when I heard this.

So as my mind begins to break down this extremely abnormal concept (I have many of my own abnormal concepts but I am proud to announce I am secure in being 100% human), I think to myself "isn't this just a new age attempt at recreating evolution?" Think about it. They are pretending to morph from animals to humans. Like, are they extreme Darwinists or something? Putting a Darwinism Fish (the ones with the little leggies) on your car is one thing. Please, if you have strong beliefs, leave it at or around that. Like, we are already humans. It already happened. I'm sorry you don't like it, but it really isn't going to change. King Kong sort've tried already.
