You're an individual, aren't you? You think for yourself, don't you?
Just like everyone else.
you ALL claim to think for yourselves.
How many actually do? I don't know, but there's plenty that don't
Ninety-five percent of you don't think I'm referring to you.
I AM.
I'm also referring to myself, though. I'll admit that. We all
try to express our individuallities, but sometimes I see someone else, or
worse a group of someone else's, expressing what I thought was MY
individuallity. It's very upsetting.
It's so hard to have an original thought these days. Even when you do
come up with something that hasn't just been subconsciously regurgitated
from TV, a comedian, or a book, or whatever, there's the nagging thought
that someone, somewhere, has already had the exact same thought. So
your thought, even though you thought of it yourself, is already old.
Eventually you'll run into someone whose had the thought a long time ago,
and they'll scorn you. Or worse, you'll express your thought and
everyone in the room saw it in a movie last year. There goes that happy
special-ness.
The vast majority of you have never even considered this, you're just
sheep. Blind, stupid sheep following each other around in circles. Your
shepard rapes you at night. Where the hell are those wolves?!? They
should eat you all.
A lot of you think your different and better than everyone else
because you dress in a statistically smaller style and listen to music
that isn't "popular". Stop deluding yourselves. If you and your friends
dress alike and like the same media, you're not a nonconformist, you're
just following a different herd.
Of course you hang out with people who have similar interests, so do
I, nearly everyone does. But who much of the stuff you like do you like
because they like it, and do they like it because "everyone else" doesn't
like it? Do you have many interests outside of the overlap?
Get pissed at me now. Who am I to judge you like this? How arrogant
of me! Do I really think I'm any different?!?!
Probably not. I try to be unique, and I get a lot of shit for some of
it. I guess if people aren't intolerant of you, you're really not that
original. Hell, you've probably heard almost everything in this little
rant before at some time. Sometimes I wonder if I'm really a
freak, or just a wannabe. Sometimes I wonder if ANYTHING I ever do
really is new, or if it just seems like it because of my finite exposure
to an infinite world.
Of course, most of the people around me have a similarly limited view
of the total acts of humanity, thus it's new to them. I like the ones
that are frightened by the newness.
I want a Slushee.
