Fouronce?

I don't know what it is about this school, or this town, or this part of Pennsylvania, or whatever, but it seems to me that there is a greater-than-average concentration of these kids that just try SOOO hard to be "unique", to be "individuals", to go against the grain, against social norms, to NOT "conform." It's fine to be whoever you want. I just don't like the pseudo-counter culture mentality of purposely trying to be different. It is so juvenile.

I was going to divide this into two parts, the "Indie Art Kids*/"Hipsters"** being one of them. I started to write that section, but no matter how nice and polite and accepting I tried to be, I just sounded like a close-minded, disrespectful, asshole. Which is only half true, half of the time. So I deleted it. Not cause I care about what you'd think, but because the more I thought about it, the more I realized it just doesn't matter.
I don't care how people dress. I don't care what people listen to. I don't care what people major in. I don't care if you bike, skate, or fly a fucking kite. Who you are has no effect on who I am. I'm not saying let's all be friends, cause that's just silly. You can't like everyone. Oh well. Don't be afraid to talk to me though.

So, that section still turned out real stupid. To many ideas flyin around to make sense of them. To summarize, if you fall into that category, or live at the "Dude Ranch", or ride a fixxy...you're okay with me.

The second group of people that I'm gonna talk about is more serious than some art kids. But I'll save it for the coming blogs cause this is to long already.

It's Friday. Let's have fun.

I still have miles to go.
