The ‘Kook Tax’ Is So Annoying

I have a feeling I’m going to suffer the “kook tax” again sometime soon. Just a feeling. The “kook tax” is when people make assumptions about you just because you’re different.

But it’s just a part of my life now. I just have to accept that being a freaky weirdo naturally leads to having endure the “sings and arrows of outrageous fortune” maybe a little bit more than other people.

And, yet, as I keep saying, the worst thing anyone ever said about me was I’m “a delusional jerk with a good heart.” If that’s the worst you can say about me, I guess that’s not so bad over all.

I generally mean well. I’m a good guy, all things considered, but I am, alas, a kook.
