What Does A Weird Person Look Like, Ask Will Smith?

But it’s not only Will Smith, so are we. It will get worse before it gets better.

By now, many had weighed on Will Smith at the Oscars, I had. What he did was ‘weird’, but this explains everything.

When I was working on cruise ships, most of our passengers were American, and my experience with them would one day be great and the next day weird.

I remember taking a portrait of a couple, a big guy, he must be over 6 feet, he was wearing a cowboy hat on a formal night with his lovely wife.

If you haven't been on a cruise, you can have your portraits taken on formal nights for free, only when you like them the next day that you can buy them.

He made some jokes and I only smiled. After the photo session, he whispered in my ear, ‘this better be good or I’ll kill you!’

It disturbed me the rest of the night, a tall white American threatened me, what do I do? Or was it all a bad joke?

Will Smith at the Oscars

I used to watch the Academy Awards every year, but I stopped. Was there even one during the pandemic? There was, apparently.

This year was no different, there’s Twitter if there was anything remotely interesting, I knew I would find out.

Even before the show ended, Twitter was exploding and soon every major website had a story on its front page.

The ‘Angy Black Man’ at the Oscars.

Everyone has an opinion, and that should be respected. It is the celebrities who have some very interesting opinions, some really weird.

Today, I read this from an essay penned by Pedro Almodóvar.

What I saw and heard produced a feeling of absolute rejection in me. Not only during the episode, but afterward, too, in the acceptance speech — a speech that seemed more like that of a cult leader. You don’t defend or protect the family with your fists, and no, the devil doesn’t take advantage of key moments to do his work.

The devil, in fact, doesn’t exist. This was a fundamentalist speech that we should neither hear nor see.

Everyone is acting so weird

Was it the pandemic? Life is challenging, it always has been.

People will sometimes act weird and choose anger. I had in the past. I knew that the American who threatened me years ago before the pandemic, was half-joking, but I also believed he can kill me. That was weird.

Why is everyone so weird today and acting so strange?

It will be a very long time before everyone will move on from Will Smith, he is the distraction everyone needs, who want to talk about the war on Ukraine, the rising petrol prices, unemployment, etc.

Do you think this is all the work of the devil? I don’t think so, because that would be so weird.

Thank you for reading.
