Don't get me wrong. It's not that I'm racist or that I don't like black people. It's not even related the fact that I hate most hip-hop music. But nowhere else except for in this country will you see a group of white people trying to be someone they are not. You never see a black man try to be white, do you? Or a hispanic man trying to be chinese? Of course not! Sure, you could joke and say, why would anyone want to try and be white in the first place. "Whitey" was a bastard to begin with, and now us white folk are pasty geeks... or something like that. You know what I think? I think everyone else has fucking pride in who they are! But today, it's almost hard to be proud to be white, what with all the shit they shove down your throat at school about MLK, or Malcolm X (read his autobiography if you want to know what I'm talking about). Yeah, whites have done plenty of horrible things in the past, but that's no reason to destroy your whole identity. Now remember I said suburban kids. If you're from the ghetto, or whatever, and you've grown up around black culture, that's cool. That's part of who you are. I'm not saying cultural diversity is a bad thing. It's not. Enjoying and understanding someome elses culture is a good thing. But do you really have to walk, talk, act, and look like someone else?

Same thing goes for goths. I'll have to go with the great George Carlin on this one and say: Get a wardrobe that's current with the century you're living in! This isn't the Middle Ages, kids.The closest you've ever been to a vampire is seeing a picture of one at the Hot Topic AT THE MALL! You know how I know that?: BECAUSE VAMPIRES AREN'T FUCKING REAL, THAT'S WHY! I don't care how much blood you've sucked, or how you got fangs fitted to your regular teeth. They're mythical characters as far as I'm concerned. Fall asleep in a coffin that's nailed down and go away.

You wanna know why I stay the way I do? (I don't care if you don't) It's all a matter of principle It's a well-known fact to the people that know me that I have low self-esteem. That I'm convinced girls hate me. That's true, sometimes. But there are also times when girls like me, and when that happens, on come the suggestions. "Cut your hair, wear more colors, smile more," they say. I bet it's true (sadly), that if I cut my hair, lost the earrings, and traded my silver-and-black Smashing Pumpkins t-shirt for a red one that said Abercrombie on it, I could probably get laid, and more. But to do that would be to suck the life right out of me. Wearing concert shirts and being sarcastic and grumpy is who I am! Most of those things I listed, I happen to like about myself. I'm not going to change them just for you! Christ, even the fact that I don't talk a lot, something that has plagued me forever, is something I don't plan on changing anytime soon. Being quiet allows me to observe better. Hell, I think it helps me to write better.


Osama bin Suicide

This is like week old news... but did you hear about that 15 year old kid who stole a plane and crashed it into a skyscraper? Yeah, it was suicide, and he wrote in his note some sympathy for Osama. I'm not gonna write about how the kid is a tool who shouldn't be concerned about Osama, or how he's anti-American, or anything like that. Honestly, I don't care what the kid's motive was. I just found the whole thing hilarious. I mean, if he felt sorry for the guy, write him a letter or something. Don't copy his whole terrorist plan to express sorrow for him. You know, I bet if Osama bin Laden heard about this story, he probably thought "what a lamer, he didn't even kill anyone!" We got some stupid kids in this world.


Some Politics

I found this image to be quite amusing. It used to say the official seal of the democratic party, buy I find dems and republicans to be one in the same, so I just changed it to U.S. congress with my lame photoshop skills. It fits perfect because that's all politics are to me, a bunch of whiners. Democrats whine that Republicans are all a bunch of stingy, old white guys (They are) and Republicans whine that all liberals wanna do is spend spend spend (also true), and of course, nothing meaningful ever really happens. I hate politics, so I'll say nothing more
