Commitment

As of recent im meeting more and more Vegan,vegetarian and Straight Edge people. Its pretty cool.
Im not vegan or even vegetarian but i respect the choices.

One thing ive recently realised is that i hate alot of the preaching attitudes thrown upon others by militant seeming vegans,vegetarian,straight edge people.

Save the world, save animals, save yourself blah blah blah.
I am straight edge but dont go round preaching to people about it, because its a general preference and most people dont understand it let alone embrace it.
Its kinda hypocritical of me because i dont really preach as such but do have convosations with people about how smoking and stuff is a bad choice (whats good about smoking?)....but whatever,fuck it.

Yes, preach if you have stuck at something for years and know what your talking about but recently ive seen a number of edge kids actin all "DONT TALK TO ME IF YOUR NOT DRUG FREE"......stupid!
Alot of kids actin that way are most probably putting up a front anyway and will change it to
"ALCAHOL IS MY LIFE!" or something equally dumb.
for example a guy/KID that goes to local shows (occasionaly) has a huge edge chestpiece but has a huge picture of jager on his myspace page and is at shows with a pint acting all full of himself.

Fair enough if he stuck to it for years previously, but he didnt.

I know what im saying has kinda gone away from the fact i dont like preaching but this is my blog and its my rules so suck it.

From personal experience i know that if your straight edge and walking around preaching thinking your ultimate and that people have to get below you to kiss your drug free shoes, that in this country your not gonna have a lot of friends.

i like this one.

uhhh i drink alot
and i enjoy it but i really DO NOT try to encourage others to do so.

i dont care if the person next to me, if my friend, a stranger or anyone i hang/party with drinks or not.

its all about personal choice i believe its something that should NOT be attempted to be changed by anyone else other than that individual.

Preaching just results in kids who dont understand the consequences of their actions.

being encouraged to drink
or being encouraged not to is total shit.

just do what you feel you want to

vegan
meat free
drink
drugs
edge whatever

just take responsibility for your choice and get on with it. you can educate someone but please don't fucking preach.

as max already said this blog entry is kinda hypocritical .... but yea... go shove it up your ass.
