cAn't find my idEntity... hAvE yOU sEEn it?



Ugh... crEdit cArds... thE bAnE Of my ExistEncE!

sO i jUst wEnt OnlinE tO mAkE sUrE my mOnthly pAymEnt hAs gOnE thrOUgh And mAdE thE AnnOying discOvEry thAt my cArd hAs bEEn UsEd fOr A strAight Up bUying frEnzy which i knOw nOthing AbOUt. yEs thAt's right... idEntity thEft. irOnicAlly i hAd stAshEd thAt cArd AwAy sO thAt i wOUld stOp Using it And stArt pAying it Off. mEAnwhilE sOmE cybEr thUg hAs dEcidEd thEy wAnnA bE mE And thEy wAnnA gO shOpping. AirfArEs, hOmEwArEs, pOstAgE, phOnE bills, yOU nAmE it.... thE nEw mE wEnt tO tOwn.

sO At first i wAs rEAlly Angry bUt thEn i cAncEllEd thE cArd And gOt OvEr it. bUt i'vE bEEn thinking A lOt AbOUt thE idEA Of idEntity thEft. i'vE bEEn thinking A lOt AbOUt idEntity. think AbOUt thE irOny At wOrk hErE... in this sOciEty whErE OUr idEntity is tO sUch A lArgE ExtEnt dictAtEd by thE mAss mEdiA And thE pOwErs thAt bE... And thEn idEntity bEcOmEs this virtUAl cOstUmE thAt wE cAn stEp in And OUt Of And thAt sOmEOnE wE dOn't EvEn knOw cAn try On fOr sizE. whAt is idEntity AnywAy? my nOtiOn Of idEntity might bE kindA UtOpiAn bUt i wOUld sAy it is OnE's EssEncE As shApEd by OnE's EnvirOnmEnt. thE inflUEncE Of EnvirOnmEnt is inEvitAblE bUt fOr thE sAkE Of hUmAn individUAlity i hOpE nOt pArAmOUnt.

i think jEAn grAE nAilEd it in hEr sOng "dOn't rUsh mE" whEn shE tAlks AbOUt bEing On thE right pAth tO whO shE's gOnnA bE At lAst:

"...still rEmAin whO i cAmE dOwn tO EArth tO bE
it's nOt jEAn grAE, thAt's jUst A nAmE, yOU'll sEE"

sO this idEntity hEist is rEAlly A jOkE On thE idEntity thiEf bEcAUsE thAt idEntity wAs jUst A rOUgh drAft AnywAys. EvEn As yOU rEAd this i'm tOiling AwAy in thE lAb Of lifE wOrking On thE nEw imprOvEd vErsiOn... AlwAys will bE!
