Lately I've been having a hard time deciding what my standards are. I guess you could say I've been exposed to many different perspectives and lifestyles that I just don't care as much about the little things anymore. Two of those little things are profanity and entertainment selection.
CUSSING
I think sometimes that a cuss word can be the perfect word for the occasion. I don't think profanity is pleasant in excess, but sometimes a well-timed cuss word just cussing fits.
R-RATED MOVIES
I also think some rated-R movies are worth seeing. Usually it's worth it if it's meaningful and well known/well referenced, but sometimes it's worth it simply because it looks cool. That's why I'm seeing Mad Max: Fury Road this weekend. It looks awesome. Is it wrong to want to see something a bit edgy (at least for Mormons) just for the spectacle of it? Maybe.
The problem with admitting my moral weakness is that I might get a reaction like this:
"Oh! You have a problem with the church, too?? Let's be friends!"
And I'm like, "Whoah, whoah, whoah... I do not have issues with the church. I mean, I have some issues that are super personal and I'm not going to talk about them with someone who is openly having issues with the church, but I am a devoted member of the church. The gospel is kind of my life."
("Oh, and sure, we can be friends. Just not for that reason.")
Or sometimes the people who share my views are a bit lukewarm about the gospel. I'm not okay with that either.
And I know--not everyone is that way--but it concerns me that something as simple as a few good cuss words and rated-R movies could potentially limit my dating options.
So I'm questioning my standards for men. Omygosh. What is wrong with me?!!
Dammit. Bullshit. ASS.
