Anywhooo.
The current facebook trend is a little game called "Why, whassup?" In this game, people put the question "Why, whassup?" in their status in whatever variation of the question they feel [i.e. why, what's up? why, what it does? why, whattup? etc.] A person likes the status, and that person gets a paragraph or so full of questions that the person with the status would ask to describe the person that liked the status if someone asked them if they knew that person, and it all ends with, "yeah, i know _____, why, whassup?" I tried to avoid it for the longest time, but it's interesting to see what people have to say. So I liked a couple of the statuses and I thoroughly enjoyed them. They all made me sound like such a good person. [I've been called a sweetheart, a musical genius, and pretty much everyone said I was funny. *shrugs* Who knew?]
Once again, I made observations and asked some questions. Basically, it all came to: how come, when people are asked to give their opinion of a person, they say the nicest things in the world? Like, I'm flattered and all, really, I am. But how do you really feel about me? How do you really feel about the people that you say all these sweet things about? I think the most unflattering thing that was said about me was that I was short. [lol more specifically, I'm "the short one with the smart mouth." And I'll accept that.] And that was from one of the most real people I know, that would honestly say any and everything that she feels, no filters. And I'm not saying these people are being fake, I'm just wondering, are there filters being used in the things everyone else is saying?
I also noticed that more people are liking these statuses than the "Truth is...." status game people were playing. I think people are afraid to hear the truth. They see a trend of super nice wall posts with this game, so people are more gung-ho about this. I say we bring the Truth is... back and tell the honest to Bob truth. No filters. If you don't like somebody, let 'em know. I have yet to see a "Why, whassup?" that says "that girl I'm not fond of? that kid that snaked me? that one person I don't generally fucks with? that dude I don't even know like that?" I'm not saying I want to see shit get started. I'm just wondering how real people are being with this.
And, on another note, I thought this whole thing was stupid to begin with. I just thought it would be fun to see what people had to say about me. And then they started asking me to say stuff about them. And it went from there. And, thankfully, I don't affiliate with that many people, so it's only people I like that are liking my status. *phew* lol.

Oh. And today, I'm thankful for music. Not just Kid Cudi, even though I haven't stopped playing this CD since I got it..lol. But I'm thankful for the discovery and constant re-discovery of one of the most mysterious, amazing things in the world. It keeps me sane. It keeps me here. My music class is definitely my favorite class, and it might be because I always leave there in higher spirits and a thoughtful and somewhat inspired mood. I'm thankful for my guitar, my voice, and my sense of hearing. I'm even thankful for the shit that gets passed off as music that does nothing but give me a headache. It's nothing but a lesson in what not to do and an example of what the world does NOT need to take seriously. But, other than that, I wish it would be forbidden throughout the world... But, yeah. The end ^_^
I hate that you just took the words right out my mouth... As I was doing my why whats ups and people Im not really all too fond of were liking my status, it took my forever to think of nice stuff to say to them. :p I really wanted to be honest but not publicly humiliate them
