I try not to make threads on here that are too obvious, yeah know?
I like more of a controversial topic because seeing both sides helps open up my mind to different ways of thinking.
This isn't meant to be a facebook image that pops up that says "Like if you hate things that you dislike!!!!!" LOL.
So moving forwards.
When I was younger, like 14,15, I noticed no one really cared about what each other did. It was cool to have a skateboard with spray painted grip tape, it was different but yet admirable to listen to music that no one else did.
Now my "friends" have blended together. See, I've always thought I had social problems. Its kind of funny really. I get a long with adults extremely well, and I can talk to anyone VERY easily. I guess the root of this came from not getting a long with my friends. So it wasn't that I had a social problem, it was that no one was open to try anything else so maybe I just painted myself as the weird kid.
My buddies all listen to the same music, they follow the same trends and all like the same cars. To them, a friendship isn't about being friends and doing fun stuff, its about "How can you make me look better infront of people I don't even care about".
Hows that saying go? "Too many people buy things they don't need with money they don't have trying to impress people they don't even like."
For me, I wanna do cool stuff with my friends, I like doing wacky shit thats different. But it seems no one cares about that anymore. Not to always bring in the fastlane but what MJ said is so true. They just step in line, like sheep.
While we should live one day at a time, at least accept your future. I live HAPPILY today, but I don't spend my money and not think about tomorrow. They focus on how to look cool throughout the school year, and don't realize that they aren't invincible.
Ever since this has started happening I get invited to places a lot less, really a shame too. Because when someones tire blows out and they know I have the fix-a-flat can in my trunk, I'm the guy to call. But when its "Hey lets go to the mall or on a cruise", my car isn't cool enough or its not nice enough to impress other people.
Life is strange.
