YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE

Life will feel so much better when you listen to Johnny Boy's "You Are The Generation That Bought More Shoes and You Get What You Deserve" on repeat over and over again. It's almost like Phil Spektor didn't kill anyone and recorded an awesome girl group song instead.

i have noticed one thing from reading this site: why is it that as soon as a band "makes it", they are no longer a good band. isnt that what all bands dream of, or is it to play third rate shows for obsessed bloggers who follow each other like lemmings to the next sh#tty band. until the band actually makes it mainstream. then, they become taboo, and you become a loser if you like them? you all are a bizarre form of elitists, who view success as selling out. its the same reason you like to ding successful republicans who want to keep their own money: if a band (or a person) actually becomes successful, they leave the rest of the losers behind, forcing you to face your lot in life. good charlotte, great example. when they sucked, every one of the groupies loved them. they make it big, and now you become a fascist if you like their music.

I'm 19 and this was my first presidential election ever. For the ten minutes it took me to vote, I actually felt like I was doing something worthwhile.

Of course, the next morning I realized I lived in California and was one of the mere 17% of young people to drag their asses to the polls. I feel as voiceless as ever. Representative democracy's lost that certain special something in my eyes.

I think we were all a bit naive to think that things like the "Vote Or Die" campaign and celebrity endorsements were really going to make a difference. We're not trying to sell soda, here. Iraq is important, but we need to do more to put youth issues on the agenda of politicians...
