Good "common sense" ideas: inhaling & exhaling, not wetting the bed, driving on the right side of the road, not sticking your hand on a hot stove, not wearing a belt made of beef in the hood, any of the "Batman" movies, NOT the movie "Daredevil".
Bad ideas: Sticking your dick in a blender, banging a girl you've only seen in the dark & about 12 beers deep, licking a stripper pole, most Rob Schneider movies, scratch that...ALL Rob Schneider movies, bicycling on patches of ice, thong bikinis, wait..thong bikinis on Oprah...AND...
STRAIGHT EDGE TATTOOS BEFORE THE LEGAL AGE OF CONSUMPTION!
Now let me tell you why these are just god-awful ideas..
THE SHIT YOU PUT ON YOUR BODY DOES NOT VANISH WHEN YOU TURN 21!!!
You might as well tattoo "MY WILL-POWER IS AN EPIC FAIL" on your chest.
sure, people change their minds, satanist's become christians (not that theres much of a difference) racists become accepting after watching an episode of Dr. Phil...but the difference is, these people usually don't get PERMANENT TATTOOS OF THEIR PREVIOUS "WAYS". Sure, I could tattoo "Caucasian" on myself, why? BECAUSE I'M NEVER NOT GOING TO BE WHITE, but I don't.
Point being, I personally, respect straight-edge and those who choose to be just that. I do not, however, respect those who get into it merely for some "label" or because it makes you seem ultra-tough and way hxc to every other 16 yr old mosh machine in basketball shorts & sauconys. You don't pull rank by claiming edge, no one gives a shit about the gallon of water your doing your bicep curls with in between breakdowns, and no one ever will. & here is the kicker of common sense, if you can't LEGALLY consume alcohol or any other substances technically by law you do have to be "straight edge" so you're really not making a choice, the government did that for you. Basically, you're choosing to be the idiot mean mugging everyone on the wall at the party...and soon, you'll be the idiot face down in a pool of his own vomit because of the lack of practice when you decide to break, because if you're not doing it for yourself, YOU WILL.

"MY WILL POWER IS AN EPIC FAIL"
ReplyDeleteBest statement ever.
its true, it's kinda like saying you're going to win something and coming in last place, either do the roids and follow thru, or just keep your mouth shut.
