Lost it

I never felt as pissed off as I was yesterday.
I never cringed as much as I did yesterday.
I usually never leave in the middle of a program, but I did yesterday.
And I never imagined being in the middle of a scene in a typical sex-charged MTV video.. not until yesterday.

Girls dressing like whores.. Guys dressing like gangstas.. Knowing glances and flirtatious eyes everywhere, roving eyes closing in on cleavages and exposed thighs like heat-seeking missiles everywhere.. Dance moves straight out of strip clubs on the stage.. and all this done by teenagers who are 17, 16, 15, and as young as 14 years old. The worst part was that it was all encouraged somehow.

I had enough. I decided that I just can't stay in there anymore. I wanted out, and out I went.

Temper and lust ruled the day, if you were there.

If you asked why I was there, well.. it was supposedly organised by the Rotary Club in the name of charity. But, putting high school kids whose lives are influenced by MTV and Gossip Girls as the organising committee with no adult supervision.. I guess the result is expected.

I lost it somehow, my temper. When I caught a kid ogling my girl, I got really angry. Of course, I could be angry, but when I said I lost it.. it was because I had to suppress my violent nature. I mean, the analogy of a lion protecting his pride fits a description of me.

In case you didn't know, a lion is at his fiercest when his pride comes under attack or under threat.

I guess a few of us had enough of it all, and the whole lot of us walked out.

I don't want to go to such an event again if I had no reason to.
