I'm realistic..
..when it comes to how well I know these bands I talk about. I'm friends with a few people, but just friendly with most folks. Big difference. I don't kid myself about this scene... a scene is a scene no matter what the age or place. There are cliques and gossip. I'm there but not part of it. Been there, done that.
Don't think that I think I'm cool because I was chatting to so and so in this or that band. I know very well that while most do appreciate positive comments and are generally nice people, some people don't give a shit and will even make fun of you behind your back. People still do that even out of high school. Oh well. Deal.
I'll go see a band because I like the music. Sometimes I think you're cool and sometimes I'm wrong about that. Thanks for being friendly regardless.
Some people think I like a band/musician/singer because I just want to get into their pants. I see bands for the way the music or performance makes me feel. Of course part of any band's appeal is their look, and I do prefer female singers/musicians, but enjoy bands made up of guys, or a combination of the two.
That said, bands are more than welcome to get into my pants. Well, if you're a girl and we click and the timing is right. You don't even have to be in a band, but it would help if you liked music.
I stopped going to shows for many years and missed it. Now I'm back out at shows, but this isn't my whole life. There is so much more I care about then this scene... I don't want anything but to enjoy the music, and if it works out, make some friends on either side of the stage.

Do the various commenting people read your blog? I found it funny that you turned it into a fake personal ad for your pants
ReplyDeletethat made me chuckle
Yeah there were some comments on the myspace version, and general remarks made to me in person.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a guy and have needs and wants, but I'm also realistic about my chances with girls.
