Hokay. So.
Between school and Sal stuff, it's been hard to find free time. Not like anyone reads this that religiously anyway, but still ;). I do apologize for the long gaps between posts. Try not to die of suspense.
Today I'm going to discuss my view on chances. I was talking about it to a new friend of mine (codename Ash) earlier and I think it's worth mentioning on here.
EVERYONE DESERVES ONE.
Everyone, and everything, deserves a chance. Sometimes even a second chance, if they prove they have earned it. See, my stance is this: With everything out there, it was invented, and wasn't annihilated as soon as it was, because someone, somewhere, at some point, liked it. And if that someone somewhere at some point found something about it appealing, who's to say you won't too? Closing your mind is ignorant and stupid. Don't do it. Don't bash an entire project because you don't like one aspect of it. Music, especially, deserves to be tried. Don't say you hate all of a genre. If someone reccomends you a song, try it out, even if its unfamiliar to you. You just might like it. I know I used to bash heavy metal (pun intended ;)) until last year when one of my friends turned me on to Metallica, and I actually liked some of their stuff (Judas Kiss FTW!). Changing your mind doesn't mean you were ever wrong, it means you have the ability to adapt, and that's a good thing.
People, most of all, deserve a chance. Everyone out there has something special about them. Maybe you don't see it now, maybe once you do you won't think it's very special at all. But you have to at least take a minute to find out what it is. Once you've given something a shot, bash it all you want, at least you have an experience to base it on. But to just block someone out, without even trying to make something work, is just cruel.
And it will only ever lead to "What If"'s.
"Above all, remember that the most imporatnt thing you can take anywhere is not a Gucci bag or French-cut jeans; it's an open mind."
