Unconventional, in an unconventional way.

Quick, what's the first thing you think of when you hear the word unconventional? Go, on be honest. Maybe someone who doesn't follow the rules? A person who rejects authority figures? Maybe someone who makes unusual decisions and prefers to side with the minority, all the time? Well, when I think of unconventional, it makes me think of a person who's quiet, respectful, and morally sound. So many people nowadays are being sucked into this image of being a "rebel from society" because of the way they think or the way they parade themselves about, whether their  rollin' joints, chuggin' beers, etc. It seems to me that society is working in a backwards way, and no one seems to realize it. I almost even have to consider myself unconventional at times. I know, I know, it sounds crazy. I do all my work, don't let people copy my work, and prefer to stay inside in my lonesome than party it up with friends. Now, I bet 90% of people out there would think I'm a total loser, with no friends, no life, or anything if that's all I told them. What if I told you that I have a small, close circle of diverse friends, who I enjoy spending time with, who I do care about? Would you think I'm lying? I might think I'm lying. But, see, here's my point. The average person has been so tweaked, so changed, that someone as plain and unspectacular as myself is unusual. Very rarely will you see a guy who is a loner, who doesn't have a girlfriend, and enjoys spending time in the home. Most people nowadays, from what I see, wear "geek" glasses, wear wool caps in hot weather, will have some kind of creative outlet that they use to portray themselves as open and unique, and have some sort of constant hatred in their gov't. These people need to stop worrying about what others think of them and what's going on around them and just focus on them. Many people that I know are intellectuals, and I honestly think they're a dying breed. Intelligence in mathematics and sciences is heeding way to a generation infatuated with "arts", "creative expression", and "new ideas." I just hope these people can all make it in arts careers. It's a hard business.
