Over the past week or so I’ve been trying way too hard to find what I want to write my first blog about, and after the excitement of last night I believe I finally figured it out. I just worked my 6th day of 7 and got the love of my life stolen (this would be my ipod), there was still one thing above all that pissed me off even more, and this was getting called narrow minded. Yeah I got my $300 ipod stolen by some shit head kids wondering through my neighborhood while I was getting smashed, and all I care about is a drunken ass comment from my good friend. Where are my priorities nowadays? I’ll give you a little lesson in vocabulary before I begin, narrow-minded means; Lacking tolerance, breadth of view, or sympathy. This came about because I was giving him shit about his bad music taste. I’ll give you a few examples, Cannibal Corpse, Death Clock, Coldplay, Stiletto Formal, Bullet for my Valentine, and Coheed and Cambria…I know no one will read this boring blog, but still horrible music. I understand not many like my ska punk experimental music, but at least there’s emotion for what they do. Anyhoo, he was going through his ipod and after every song I told him it was bad and I hate his music. This led to him blowing up wine sloshing in his keg cup, ranting about how “I’m narrow-minded about everything” How could I be narrow-minded? First of all I’m not racist, I have a black uncle and Hispanic cousin, and he talks about how he wants to kill them all…that’s pretty petty in my opinion. Is this “Narrow-minded?” I consider myself a liberal, and I think about others and try to help them through ruts. I’d rather ride a bike or skateboard than drive a damn car. I like intellectual conversations rather than talking about people. I’ll eat a salad before a big mac. I write poetry, take photographs, listen to independent music, read about philosophies and conspiracies, watch documentaries about evolution and intelligent design, think about life, God, Satan, and the after life, and I’d write a persuasive essay before getting my oil changed…am I narrow-minded?
If it were up to me I’d define a petty person as a racist, conservative, who follows people and doesn’t think for themselves, or doesn’t like to try new things. I may be pointing out a very large group of people but those are the individuals who I’d consider “narrow-minded.” Unless there’s another piece to this puzzle or another definition to the word. Can I really be in a different way, as in my little world of being different? I do admit I’m very judgmental, and I have a very low tolerance for certain characteristics and people in general. So this may be good, I could learn something from this stupid little blog entry. I think through my transition from the mainstream to an independent thinker I hit a point that I have blocked out every other idea apart from mine. I look upon other people as inferior, and everything that I do can be and is better than them. I still believe I am and I probably won’t stop believing that, but I will admit that I point at people way too much. I opened my mind to new sounds and places and I love where I have gotten, and now I have closed my mind to the old boring shit I now somehow hate with a passion. How did this happen? I have no idea and I probably won’t figure it out either. Now as for you shit heads, just think like I think and we’ll be chill, and if not we’ll have problems. Here’s to narrow-minds!
