Hey. So it's been exactly one month and five days since I updated. Now, for some reason, everyone wants me to join MySpace, which I have, but I don't know how to use it. But everyone is using it, and a small part of rebelliousness is crying out "Don't do it! Don't follow the crowd!" And I must agree. I don't want to follow. I want to lead. But it really doesn't matter, because I don't know how to use MySpace anyway.
Just because everyone is doing something, does that mean ou should do it too? No. Let me tell you a little story about someone I sort of knew:
Because of certain reasons, I wont use names, so the boy I am talking about it going to be Bill.
Bill wasn't really the greatest student, and he wasn't the nicest. He wasn't very loud, he wasn't very funny, he wasn't really anything but himself. But one day, he decided he wanted to change. He wanted respect. He wanted to be a gangster, as sad as it is.
Well, Bill did change. He didn't listen to his teachers in class, he would act rebelliously, he would act like he controlled everything. Yet this didn't get him the respect he wanted. So he tried something a little more durastic.
Bill went to a gas station, for reasons I don't know. He saw an open car door. And the keys were in the ignition. He jumped into the car, started it up, and reversed it to get away. He ran over the owner of the car, and old man, and the result was death. Bill killed this old man, on accident of course, but he killed him, trying to become one of the dumbest things people could want to be.
Bill is now in jail, 25 years to life. All because he wanted to be something he wasn't.
This is why I don't follow.
