* this burgeoning new(ish) anti-abortion crisis/legislation in the states (hallo, south dakota) is making me even ANGRIER about these... these... JERKS
( Read more... )
ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i know exactly how this goes. i don't even think i know you, but i got here from craigs journal.
anyway... i'm obsessed with music and being a musician and song-writing... etc. in general, i'm a very good-natured person. so i go on this message board with people who associate themselves with music and/or musicians, thinking i'm gonna have a great time and have all these awesomely deep and poetic discussions...
wrong. holy shit, i've never met such a disgusting group of sarcastic elitists in all of my life. and to think they're only haligonians. i would hate to see what people are like who're in new york or toronto... or somewhere that's actually *important*
i'm pretty much 100% sure we don't know each other, since i only know craig through the internet and i haven't lived in nova scotia for any amount of time in 5 or 6 years.
it's not people, per se, that are the problem. it's a certain KIND of person, and unfortunately a lot of the ones who gravitate toward the arts are That Variety. there are good ones, but you really need to make an effort to seek them out.
my theory is that the people we both seem to have a problem with are unbelievably boring and kind of stupid, and the only way they can trick other people into not realising it is by being belligerent, overly-ironic and totally humourless. picture, like, thousands of these people all making SO MUCH EFFORT to do that. amazing! i bet you could set up a pretty good social experiment around it.
if you're actually talented you don't need to do all that because you're, you know, too busy actually DOING stuff rather than talking about how blah blah blah just sold out or whatever.
