How The Hell Was I Mistaken

Would you rather be poor and be mistaken for being privileged or be privileged and mistaken for being poor?

I would rather be privileged. Food and shelter are more important than image.

What actor is often mistaken for being brilliant when they're just OK and just have one hell of an agent?

That’s a long list~!!… Some actor’s delivery is just not believable… It’s like their heart is just not in the making of any movie they are in. Which may be why so many of our actors are presently coming from Britain, Canada, or Australia… Some American actors are so bad that one wonders what they did to get their first job… But some just keep coming back…However… There are some directors that are terrible too… You see these great actors, who are apparently held back by bad directors, who have a screenplay that should have been great material that ends up a really disappointing piece of shit… Robin Williams could take a bad movie premise and make it a good movie. But one year we went to see a movie that he was in, and you could tell he was upset and out of sorts throughout the entire movie. The next thing we heard was that he had gone off the wagon after years of sobriety. Not long afterward, he died… And that director has a long history of turkeys. I think being under that talentless tyrant sent Williams into a depression he could not come out of… But those terrible directors continue ruining movies year after year, decade after decade…And it just does not take a really great movie to please me, cause, my favorite movies were ‘The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas’ and a more recent crazy but very entertaining movie was ‘Oooh Brother… Where art thou’ with George Cloonie… And I loved ‘Forest Gump’… Of course, I’m a redneck… Like blue brass music and silly entertainment… I guess I have an eclectic eccentric tastes… Just grumbl’un…

What is the strangest thing you have ever been mistaken for?

For about three years I had a job in a secure custody facility for young offenders. My job was to get students ready to be released, get them enrolled in a program or high school, support their efforts, intercept the efforts of vice principals who wanted to kick them out the first time something went wrong, and to explain my education plan to youth court judges. I was to try to keep them in school and out of jail.I had an 80% success rate, and I loved that job.One day I was assigned to a teen from a different facility. He was already in school. All I had seen was a picture, so I went to the school at lunch time and walked slowly up and down the tables looking for him. Within a few minutes, the students speculated that I was a narc.When I told the principal about this, he laughed and asked me to do this often. Come every day, he said.I found the kid at the smoke hole.

Why do the seven heavens in Islam seem illogical? Or am I mistaken?

First, I think you misunderstand. The “Seven heavens” are not seven different spaces in the afterlife. Contextually speaking, it would be the same as saying “I looked toward the heavens” in English to say you looked at the sky. But this is not interpretation this is literal fact.You see, whereas in English Heaven can mean skies or afterlife, there is no word equivelant to that in the Arabic language. The word for paradise in the afterlife is “Jannat.” The word for sky or space in arabic is “Samawat.”“Lahu mafis samawati wa ma fil arz.”“All things in the Heaven (lit. Skies or space) and the earth are his.”This is what the Qur'an refers to when it says the Seven Heavens. The seven Samawat, not the Seven Jannat.This misundersranding, however, is completely undersrandable given many translations often fail to capture the meaning of the verses for the sake of poetic flow--and inso doing fail to account for english context.Now for the second point, as to whether you would get jealous of someone else or want the things of someone else on a higher level of heaven. Suppose there are multiple levels of heaven. Suppose some people do get slightly better things than others. Then what you're saying actually makes no sense to me. You are in Heaven. You have achieved complete divine intimacy. There is no envy or want in the afterlife because you are in such spiritual bliss you really couldnt give a second thought to anything else. God would not permit envy or want to flow in paradise and as the infinite power that He is youd best believe you would feel no envy or want. Just pure bliss in your constant dwelling with the Almighty. You would not care.

In a case of mistaken identity, would a straight man rather people mistook him for a woman, or for a gay man? Why?

As a poet, there was a group of PhD’s who claimed they could judge gender by writing style. I loved the hell that they said I was a woman. Better yet, they claimed the probability that I was a woman was between 65% and 95% likely! They were that sure of themselves. (they were that full of themselves). I bragged to everyone in my writing group at the time. I didn’t care.Currently, with my stutter returned in full force, when I place an order through those horrible speakers something really strange happens. People call me “ma’am.” I really do not understand this. I’d love to do a psych study on this. What in the hell does stuttering have to do with mistaking men as women? I didn’t think my pitch rises that much. It does a little as I try to force the words out, but I didn’t think that much. Anyhow, when I get up to the window I love watching them squirm out apologies.So much fun. :-DWhen I was younger, in my teens, it was exceptionally painful to be mistaken for gay. Then it was used as an insult and one of my close friends turned against me and started telling lies, very disturbing lies that convinced everyone for years I was gay. I lost all but one of my friends. So it was painful then when I was very young. But honestly it doesn’t matter. I know who I am.Your opinion of who I am doesn’t matter worth a pile of beans.I’ve suffered far worse than than that through my decades. That’s old minor stuff. Seriously. I’ll pull a Cyrano de Bergerac and teach you how to do real insults. I’ve known some of the masters.But mistaken identity? again… like I do with ordering … I’ll let them them squirm or wonder or something… maybe be ambiguous. I don’t know.TL;DR: Mistaken identity is just mistaken identity. Have some fun with it. Enjoy it!!
