On top of all of that I have to take a computer course, which is going very well so far, and I've got to practice both saxophone and clarinet. Let's just say that it's been fairly crazy. And I'm going to start reading Carrie by Stephen King as "research" for the genre. I've never been really scared after reading a book, so I'm gonna see if this one will be the first. I have a couple of other books of his in order by date written that I am going to get from the library if Carrie interests me. I want to see how he developed as an author, plus I've wanted to read some of his books for a while now. Now that it's summer I don't see why I shouldn't.
Then there's Lady Gaga's new album "Born This Way" which has been banned in Lebanon because of the mentioning of God in a couple of her songs. You can read the article here.
However, the song "Judas" did get me thinking about judging people. Actually that's not completely true. I've been thinking about judging people for the past few days now, which is always an exciting subject. I don't know about you, but I always feel like someone is judging me. Probably because every time I look at someone I judge them a little. Maybe not in a bad way, but I still do it. For example, let's say you've seen people around who do drugs. You automatically judge them. "Oh they CAN'T be good at school or a nice person because they do drugs!" Right? Maybe you don't do that exactly, but most of us do something to that extent. So if just about everyone judges people that way, then they must be judging you too right? It's only logical.
I'm sick of caring. I'm done. You can judge me however you want to because I don't care. It's pointless to bother worrying about what everyone else thinks. "Oh you did THAT once so now you're just like the worst possible person who does that." or "They're homeless because they're just too lazy to get a job." Have none of us noticed the economy recently? Maybe some people are too lazy to try, but is that really any of my and everyone else's business? Or just as bad, if you say something and you're considered a "good" person "EEEEW they said THAT? Oh my gosh!" What are we in fourth grade?
Nobody's perfect. We're all in the same boat, so to speak. Just like I'm done with caring, I'm done with cliches. We all come from the same place (this works no matter what you believe) we're all built kind of the same. Just because someone is in the jock category doesn't mean they can't be smart or involved in music. Who even made up categories? Maybe it was a good idea at the time, but at some point it got entirely blown out of proportion because of our need for obsessive organization. Just take a look at The Breakfast Club. Detention brought people from five different categories together and they realized that they were all the same deep down. Try watching it sometime. John Hughes was an amazing writer, especially in his eighties movies. This is like the number one classic teen movie of all time. Oh, and if you can't watch it because of the MPAA rating, here's a link to a video that gives you the gist of it-
I love the ending song. "Don't You Forget About Me" by the Simple Minds. The perfect ending to a great movie.
Hopefully I'll write again sooner than last time. Luckily tonight I had insomnia or something so that I could. Feel free to leave comments, I enjoy reading them.
