Belief

I am having a crisis of faith.

Faith in myself. 

I wonder... just what the hell do you believe in? 

What do you stand for?

And if it's not yourself, 

then what?

What do I believe?

I don't believe in God.

("To quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people." ) 

I believe in Television and in Film.

I believe in stories and books and imaginings...

I don't believe in lies.

I believe in pride.

I don't believe in Xenophobia.....

Or Nationalism.

I don't believe in ignorance,

Though I believe I am ignorant on many subjects.

I don't believe in being an asshole about a subject

Of which you are intrinsically...

Ignorant.

I believe in the Universe.

I believe that some of us are new on this planet..

And some of us have been here many times before.

I believe in ghosts and aliens and spirits.

I believe in things I have never seen,

And don't understand.

I don't believe in John Edwards.

I believe in History.

I believe in knowledge.

I believe in shutting up

And I believe in speaking up.

I believe Kyle Sandilands is a cockhead.

And that Peter Serafinowicz is a funny, funny bastard.

I believe in the power of comedy

And the danger of reality.

I believe in love.

And the Universe's ability to provide it.

I believe in marriage.

I believe in my marriage.

I believe in friendship.

And commitment.

I believe in family

And my commitment to them.

I believe in risk.

I support living on the edge....

Or the fringe.

I believe in experiences.

Kick Ass experiences.

And safety....

I believe in safety and security.

I believe in solid ground and defined parameters.

I totally frickin' believe

In feeling safe.

I believe in art.... and beauty... and light and colour....

I believe in dreamers and thinkers and jesters.

I believe in creating

(but not Creation)

I believe in my talent.

I just don't believe in my identity.
