“What the Hell is Up with People Today?” and “Be Youself”
“Bring it back or when it’s over take me home
I’m healing
And when in doubt you’ll live without all you have known
You’ve been feeling
So what if you said it’s over and out for you my friend
When painting the view, I’m standing beside but I’m all over youIf I were to die would you promise to be there
Would you say the words that comfort me, they’re all around I swear
If I run tonight and I take it overboard with a word or two
I give to you, it’s all I can afford…Now it’s just another scene to drag me in for protection
It’s just the way you choose to say
It’s wearing thin, true collection
So what if you said it’s over and out for you my friend
Just who would I call, i’m seeing a part but i’m hearing it all
If I were to die would you promise to be there
Would you say the words that comfort me, they’re all around I swear
If I run tonight and I take it overboard with a word or two
I give to you, it’s all I can afford…

What the hell?
If you read my last post (Jesus of Suburbia summary), and you went to the YouTube page and read the comments, you’d see the insluts and spews flying around that board! I mean, Jesus! What the hell! Here’s a few examples:
“I read your little posts here, son. And I thought, I could just listen to and enjoy one of the best bands of the last 20 years, or I could talk some stupid shit like you are. At first i was going to ignore you and say nothing, but that is just no fun at all. Not when I could smash your puny miserable brain with a mere thought. I don’t think that we, as civilized people should have to read the sewage that you spew forth, thinking you are world wise and tough…”
A little extreme, but yes, I agree…up until…
“…We are all sorry Mommy shot heroin then proceeded to molest her snuggy wuvkins. Sorry, I’m sure you don’t like that name… bad memories and all.
Anyways here is a tip. Stop taking all your issues out on the internet public, and go see a shrink.. get out those anger issues.”
Next…
“<Username omitted>, you are such an idiot. Why the f*** do you cut yourself? Does it amuse you? Damn!”
“I bet you have no real friends you should commit suicide. Your a fag who has no life fag. Anyone who enjoys this stupid video and likes listening to a bunch of gay posers is a fag.”
…
“<Username omitted for privacy>, you’re an asshole. I am a highschool dropout. Go to hell. I’m emo and goth. Shut the fuck up bitch.”
And the response??
“If you were truley emo and goth you wouldn’t say so. That’s a flashing neon sign that screams, ‘I’m a poser!’ “
Alright, you’ve seen the most extreme…I’ve left out all the ones just calling people “bitches”, “fags”, “assholes”, and “fuckers” out, just to spare us time…otherwise I’d be here all week…
First off, there’s nothing right about insulting someone over the internet…I mean, jeeze, find a hobby! Do you know what you could be doing other than degrading someone else right now? If someone leads a life that’s so horrible that they need to make others feel sad just to improve their lives and make themselves feel better, then they’re the real fuck-ups, not the people struggling with self-injury. If a person is doing that, they have problems they need to deal with. They don’t need some douchebags giving them more problems…those struggles are never easy, and just because one person doesn’t do it, it doesn’t give them permission to bash someone who does.
Next, the whole “if-you-say-you’re-emo-goth-then-you’re-a-poser” thing…well, here we go…if you read my posts, I say I’m an emo/goth of sorts…I only use that as a description purpose, so that my readers know what kind of a person I am…I don’t use it as a social status or a poser key…and just because people admit that they are, doesn’t automatically make them a poser…I fucking despised it when I was called an emo or a goth…but I got over it, because I knew that if I acted a certain way, or dressed a certain way, or listened to certain bands, I was going to be called those things…and unless I wanted to change myself completely, just to stop being called an emo, I was going to be stuck with those names…so now, I’ll just say that I’m emo/goth, just because that’s what I am…I wear the clothes (well, not the skin-tight jeans…I don’t see why anyone can stand those…), I prefer black things, I write emotional poetry, I listen to Hawthorne Heights, Dashboard Confessionals, Evanescence, etc., I’m sensitive, I understand emotions, I keep a journal…and a live journal! That’s who I am. That’s what I like. And I am NOT ever going to change any of it, because I’m not denying who I am…^_^
I am Dekkun, and I am emo and goth…
SO THERE! Stop calling people who call themselves emo and goth posers…because they’ll just ignore you…or perhaps it’ll amuse them…I know it amuses me…
Here are some stories…
At school, I’ve been told many things…like one girl told me I only dress the way I do and do the things I do because I only want attention. I laughed. Why would anyone want to be the center of attention? Well, unless they’re onstage performing, or they’ve won something, or accomplished a major task, who wants to be the sacrifical lamb cast out in the middle of the world for everyone to see? I mean, look at Britney Spears…she wanted some attention…and look how much she’s getting…according to the magazines, she’s been pregnant 12 times, she’s lost her kids 4 times, worn that pink wig 7 times, shaved her head once, gotten hit with a crotch shot many times, and always swarmed with papiratzos…who wants that? I don’t…
Oh, I’ve also been told I’m a poser who has a misrable life and I only say I’m goth as an excuse…that one really made me laugh…that was very very funny.
To all you emos or goths out there…or any of you for that matter…you know yourselves best. You know who you are, you know what you like, and you know what you want of yourselves. Do not EVER let anyone tell you otherwise. Be who you want to be, and only that. If you want to be emo, fine, be emo. If you want to be goth, go for it. If you want to be a back-sassing flamboyant guy who goes on American Idol and feed Simon Cowell a huge heaping dose of your sass, then by all means, have fun Danny Noriega.
My point is, if you’re comfortable with yourself, and you know who you are, then just ignore everyone else, and be who you want, because when you are who you know you are, and you’re comfortable with yourself, all the jabs and comments people throw at you will only amuse you.
And never forget that… ^_^
Konbanwa!
