I figured it would only make sense to make my first rant a rant about rants. I hate how everyone thinks they're right. I even do it myself sometimes (Who the hell is he kidding; he does it all the time - ed.) When I tell people that I like LFO, or the Dixie Chicks, I always get the same disgusted looks because I'm wrong for liking that music (and because I have a habit of hanging out with neo-counterculturalists, "Artsy People"). They get all indignant because I like "those people." I've mostly overcome my distaste for others' taste in music, but I used to be that guy I hate so much. "You like the Backstreet boys!? Leave my house!" But, when I realized that I liked the backstreet boys and LFO for that matter, it was hard to dislike the music others like for no clear reason. When I hear people talk about loathing Kiss for having only three chords and being fake, I think "What self important anuses," (somewhat like a person I know - ed.) but then I think "So what?" The reason I've come to love LFO so much is the song that turned so many off of them - Summergirls. I know you know what I'm talking about "New kids on the block had a bunch of hits; I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch!" That song is great solely because it doesn't mean anything, it isn't "emotional" or "beautiful" or "powerful," Its bullshit! It's complete garbage with no purpose. The song is phrase after phrase thrown together to rhyme. "Michael J Fox was Alex P Keaton," is the best line I've ever heard in a song. Things don't have to have a purpose, and there are some things that you just don't have to have an opinion on. (This coming from the guy writing mini-papers over things he has strong opinions over-ed.). Also keep in mind, if I'm ever stalwart enough to write more than 3 rants, that my opinions are really soft and I don't really care about most of them anymore, so don't think I'm preachy or obnoxious, I just have a lot of time on my hands, so I blither. Also keep in mind that I'm doing this page because I'm bored in my parent's basement waiting for next semester to start, so I'm doing this for myself to improve my writing and my Photoshop abilities (check out our wallpaper section!). My fingers are cold.
