The death of a hero

Like a lot of people my age, I got into punk late. People were calling it "Dead" while I was listening to my first Green Day song. My personal beliefs about it is that its not dead but has changed. It still lives with Bad Religion, Anti-Flag, and others. So after a while I found out about the father of punk Johnny Rotten and the Sex Pistols. But before I could memorize the lyrics to God Save the Queen people were telling me he was a sellout. I don't know what to think. There's no deny it, there's proof. But that doesn't make everything he said irrelevant. Does it? I'd like to think not, but an still pondering it myself. Anyway, my main point is why are people surprised. Iggy Pop did an insurance commercial. Ozzy was in a Warcraft commercial. If you watch your heroes long enough they'll eventually do something you don't like. But I say don't let their new actions counter the old. Johnny Rotten was a rebel no one would stop. Remember him for that, not the stupid butter commercial. Sure, he did it, but don't let it ruin your image of him. Some people argue that he Sold out. I say Johnny Rotten did not, John Lydon did.

I don't give a shit.

V-day, no, not the 5th of november

So I hate valentine's day just like any guy who can never get any pussy. But I'm not going to get in that because you've heard all the rants and complaints about it before. But there is one thing that I just don't get about the holiday. Okay, I don't get it at all but one thing I really don't understand. I've been lonely on V-day so I know what it feels like. Why the fuck do lonely people buy themselves chocolate on v-day? They can lie to their friends and say its from a "secret admirer" but they still know who really sent it to them. So why go and buy yourself chocolates to lie to yourself. I just took a hard look at myself and said the following:

"Tomorrow is valentine's day. I know you're gonna be pretty miserable, but you shouldn't. Relationships aren't for everyone at anytime. You should be ready for it. But whatever I say won't mean shit. But just try not to feel too bad and remember hate day is the day after. So fuck the normies, you're you and that's gonna pay off someday."
