Piercings and Depressing Mix CD's

I think people who have piercings and the culture that they simulate are hypocrites.

Usually, people get extra piercings to make a point that they are different, or are making a statement to go against "something." The fact that a large number of people do create an alternative culture to be different makes them hypocrites. If you are so different, why are they're so many others who commit to an alternative culture? "I'm different, just like everybody else."

So, really people with piercings are just as judgmental and just as "similiar" as people who wear polo shirts, ties, or don't have piercings. These preppies are just assimulating into a different culture, albeit mainstream... and usually they admit to submitting to a culture, which really makes them less hypocritical than the people who claim not to be.

The next time you make a mix CD, consider the following:
1) Do I have a song on this mix that isn't in a meter slower than 4/4 time?
2) Do I have a song on this mix performed by a person struggling with or singing about substance abuse?
3) Do I have a song on this mix titled "Funeral"?
4) Do I have a song on this mix with a metaphor about death or winter, or rain?
5) Do I have a song on this mix that was on the soundtrack to any film, television show, or newscast montage about 9/11? If not, COULD it be?
6) Do I have a song on this mix performed by a person who committed suicide via a self-inflicted sword wound? (This is key)

If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, your mix cd is depressing and you should consider:

1) looking for other songs by the same artist; the artist might not be depressing, maybe just that particular song is.
2) looking for songs performed by Barry Manilow or Neil Diamond
3) looking for songs you could listen to whilst running or skipping
4) looking for a song you could dance around to in your underwear and maybe a funny hat
5) dividing the depressing songs up amongst cds
6) looking for a song performed by an African male, white English female (not male, that's trouble) or white Australian female
