I like looking up lyrics for songs when I can't make out the words. It is very satisfying to know what Daniel Weyandt is growling so the next time someone asks me, "Can you even understand that?" I can say, "yes." I like listening to Underoath when I'm driving. They're so freaking good that it makes me feel sad. Sad because me and my band are no where near as talented. I mean, they're a metal band with a frickin' keyboardist. Enough said. Cool Hand Luke is also an awesome band. Totally outspoken about thier beliefs and not just in their songs either. I heard their lead singer is like 4 feet tall and only weighs 80 pounds. I mean, I'm sure it's an [enter word for blowing out of proportion that I can't think of] but still, he's probably totally small. Like Chris Carrabba style. That guy's small. And balding. It's sad really. You know what else is sad? It's almost midnight and I'm sitting here talking about crap. Nothing. I don't know anymore.

Tommorrow at my school there is going to be a forum for people to speak their minds/hear other's opinions about the war. I think it's going to be cool. I'm definately going to be there. The thing that pisses me off though is that I know there's going to be a bunch of people that get up and start talking about how Bush is a moron and America is stupid and all that crap. It's not that I'm super patriotic, or that I like Bush or anything, I just think it's gay to not support your own country. Why am I the only person who actually says the Pledge of Alleigence? It just seems like being anti-government is the cool thing to do these days. All those stupid kids with their stupid AFI shirts and "Drop Bush not bombs" scrawled over everything they own. It makes me angry. "Ooooh! Anti-flag is a great band! They're all about burning flags, we should be too!" You know what? Screw you guys. Look at all the things America has done for you. Like I said, I'm not like patriotic or anything, I just use common sense. Sure, America has problems. I mean, no government is perfect, but why don't you go live in Afghanistan? Or how about China? Or India? Then let's see how much you complain about living in America. Don't you see that we have it easy? Geez, get over yourself and your "political views." These stupid trendy kids are all about being individuals right? Then make up your mind yourself! Don't just blindly accept song lyrics or whatever rabble your parents are spouting off in your trailer. If you want to be an individual then open your eyes and open your mind. Think! There's not enough of that in the world today. If there was, then Avril Lavinge would not exist.
