just listened to "the little things" by good charlotte... i used to totally relate to that song "this song is dedicated for each kid who got picked last in gym class, this is for you, for each kid who never got asked to no school dance, this is for you, for every kid who got called a freak, this is for you... like the time in school when we got free lunch and the cool kids beat us up, like when the rich kids drove convertables but we had to ride the bus..." used to totally feel that, now i listen to it and i smile. good memories, for sure... but then i look at how things are... the people i was worried about... nothing even matters like that these days... actually, the people i was worried about fitting in with, they're shit. i've got my own niche... even those people that THOSE people i tried to fit in with... i'm in that crowd now by just being myself... i had this chick who wouldn't even give me the time of day in school come up to me the other night "hey, meg!! how are you? you look great!! so, you're here w/ rudy..." yeah... uhhh.. fuck you?! so weird... and my boy, who i was there with, the one she was trying to talk to, he just comes up and puts his arm around me, plants a big one on my cheek, "Who's this?" he asks... "uhhh... shannon..." "whats up? hey, meg, you ready to go home? i'm tired, wanna lay down" and i get this nasty look fm. the bitch. so weird... like, that crowd was never my thing, i never gave a shit, but now that i'm older and REALLY don't care, i'm with the people they wanted to be with and now they're my friends?? fuck that... so weird. just so... i don't know. like, my friends are my friends. if you're down with me, i'm straight w/ you, but why are people still so worried about who's who?? like, really... how old are we?? will they ever learn??
i guess this post is reaching out to kids who are still in school. just don't give a shit. don't care who says what about you. be yourself and you'll be on top in the long run. you'll be able to turn around and laugh in those asshole's faces. i keep trying to tell my lil bro that, but he doesn't see it yet... just be YOU and whoever will love you for it... and, yeah...
