I wanted to write something funny, because quite frankly, this is what I’m suppose to do. But today is not a good day for me. Without any details, I will just say I had one shitty day. And fuck, it is not over yet. Enough about that, maybe writing a column will clear my mind. I will write about something that I hate. When I say hate, I mean HATE. Something that confuse me to the point I ask myself if I should think like that. Today, children, we will talk about conformity.

The whole zebra’ thing is not really a good idea, but check under Conformity. "When people are free to do as they want, they usually imitate each others". Fuck, that’s so true. People, you, me, the guy walking on the street and that girl you spotted at the bar last night, are always imitating somebody. And that’s not necessary bad. What make me sick, is imitating the mass. Why couldn’t somebody get dress just like they were in the ’80? I personally think the ’80 clothes are the worst ever, but WHO CARE? Well, most people care. Because if I think like the mass, they won’t dress like that, even if they want to. And that’s BULLSHIT. It piss me off to know that since humans became civilized, to when this freaky earth will explode (no, we won’t be on mars, bastards), the damn mass will always choose for people who don’t have the mind to choose what to do themselves. WAKE UP! I, myself, is an anti-conformist. I hate big company for their child labor. I hate conformist for being part of the mass, I hate the mass for being so IDENTICAL!

Don’t even try the "We are not identical, we are cool and in" shit. Someone is cool when people talk about "how cool" this guy is. But you are fucking up everything. How a guy wearing the SAME fucking T-shirt than everybody can be cool? Well, he can, but why? Because of his T-shirt? Because the mass decided this T-shirt was cool?

Now, you have all those skaters. Skate-board, I think it’s cool. Maybe you don’t, and it’s you choice. I tried once and I just can’t get on it. I suck, it’s true. But I love to see all those guys on TV getting their head smash on the ground for fun. They are good dammit, and they fear nothing. I don’t know if they are jackass, but nevermind: They are cool. Someday, the mass decided they had enough of one product, and decided to become skaters. How many of you bought a skate, but never really did something with it? No, an holly (spelling?) is not something. You see, the mass decided that this was "in", and every fucking losers around the globes bought it. They decided they needed one.

If that year you bought a skate and enjoyed it for a long time, congratulations, you didn’t follow the mass for nothing. The mass introduced you to this extreme sport, but you didn’t changed when something else come off. What the conformist do is that they change when the mass change. When I was young, I wasn’t following the mass, but almost. I was following my best friend, who was 2 years older than me. When he talked to me about the Power Rangers, I became one of the biggest fans. To this point, the show was quite entertaining for someone of my age. 4-5 months later, the mass decided this show was cool. My God, every fucking body had an Power Rangers action figure and were ready to pay big bucks for every lunch box with the PR logo on it. When the card "Magic" became a hit, I followed the mass and paid big bucks for a great deck. When it wasn’t in anymore, the ľ of my friends stopped playing. I played during 3 years. I don’t know how much money I put into those cards, but I don’t care. I loved playing Magic: The Gathering. You know why I stopped playing? Not because some guys laughed at me for playing this "stupid" game. Not because it wasn’t "in". Because the mass decided for a short (very short) period of time that it was cool again. Kids with money to waste bought the best cards. They knew it wasn’t gonna last long, I’m sure. But they begged for money to their parents, and destroyed every opponents who like me, had least money to waste into something I had being paying for years. That’s pretty shitty.

Don’t worry, everything can’t last forever. In a couple of years, we will remember Britney Spears and pokémon just like me remember MC Hammer and Transformers right now. We will be forced to watch somebody or something else, something new, something up-to-the-date. Please, do what you want to do. If you think Jazz is cool, I beg you to get Jazz music and listen to it when you want. If you think Limp Bizkit got great lyric, maybe killing yourself is the only way to get out of misery (I’m kidding, don’t do that. Try to hurt yourself very hard and buy some Beatles/Hendrix/Doors, you should be cure).

Don’t Rape my sheeps!!!
