Ok... so I just recently watched this music video of "Waking The Demon" and had some interesting thoughts while watching it. Now, as a pretense, I want to say a couple things;
First: The part of the video where the guy gets his "revenge" is stupid... a lot of music videos end up being stupid in some way even if the song is awesome, like here, and parts of the video are cool. So yeah, just take from it what's good.
Second: here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pthqce7HUKQ
Third: Please, let go of your prejudgemental opinions and mindsets, or you will not appreciate this post very much.

So basically, I was thinking, while watching the video, I kinda wish I was like the guy being portrayed. You know, not that it would be fun or anything, oh no, it would be hellish. But you know something? People who go through torment at school like that... they take something home with them. They take this incredible energy of anger home with them. And some of them? Well, some vent it in ways that land them straight into a juvenile justice center. But others? Others find ways to channel it... productively. Others take it out on 6 strings, a board of wood, and a pick. Those people are driven by this incredible desire to achieve something with that instrument, and show all those who shat on them over the years that they can be so much more; that all the discrimination and ostracizing of them simply because they dressed different and embraced a different psychological mindset than most of their school's population doesn't mean anything when it comes to what they can be. Those people become bright, aspiring musicians, with real talent and burning aspiration, and full fledged emotions. The "real deal". Those people are real musicians... they grew up into it the hard way, not easily, with no burning inspiration, a good ring of friends and a place in school society that left them unharrased virtually all the time, like me. See, sometimes I wish I could be more like that, with something to fight for, or against. Me? I just really amount to a lazy gamer. And I hate that sometimes... because I idolize people like Matt Tuck, the singer/guitarist/songwriter for that band that wrote "Waking The Demon". Because, inside, I really really really want to be a crazy musician who makes music that other people love and that he himself is satisfied and content with. I just feel so fake sometimes in my musical attempts. That's all... thanks for reading if you got this far.
peace,
