random haters...


so here's the deal... everyone has their own opinions (we are still allowed to have our own opinions, right?)
here's my problem... i'm totally fine with my opinions... i don't really need yours, unless i ask for it... and i REALLY don't need (or want) anybody telling me that THEIR opinion should be MY opinion...

yep, there's music i like that not everybody likes... that's cool... don't like it... or like it... whatevs... but please don't give me all kinds of reasons why i shouldn't like the music i like... i don't care if you think it's "too popular" and i don't care if you think it's "too mainstream" or "too whatever"... and i don't feel the need to provide you with some detailed analysis as to why i like what i like... same goes for movies, books, art (whatever that means to you... or me...), clothes, blogs, cars, religion, politics... and a host of other things...

that said, i'd like to share a couple of my most favorite things about this subject...

the first is the reason i hear most from people as to why they don't like something... because "everybody likes it."  this one kills me because you're EXACTLY like the person who does like something because "everybody likes it."  why is whether you like it or not based on whether other people like it (or not) in the first place?  go ahead... it's ok to just like what you like... and not like what you don't like...  no matter what anybody else thinks...

and my second favorite thing is the haters... if you don't like it, don't listen to it (or watch it or read it or look at it.)  why on earth would you spend so much of your precious time actively hating on stuff?  is your life really that devoid of anything else to do?  how 'bout you go spend your time enjoying the stuff you DO like... remember, it's ok to like what you like... and not like what you don't like... please let others do the same...

kthxbye.
