Rock on!

The life of a postgrad research student when the supervisor is away consist of A LOT of time wasting. TV watching is one of my favourite "pass time". (As is "passing time so I don't have to read about maths.) And today on Dr. Phil, a mother wonders whether it'd be a good idea for the 11 year old daughter to get a electric guitar for christmas. And I'm so impressed that Dr. Phil actually agree and bought the electric guitar for her!

Really, rock music is not "evil". Goth is not evil. I found it annoying when the mother in that show keep saying "I'm just worried that she might start dressing in Goth and turn into a rock star." What's wrong with dressing in Goth? It's a lot better than dressing in slut-wear. Just because it's black and a bit morbid does not make it "evil". Okay, so I hear you say "they're druggies!" Well, put it this way: if they're going to do drugs, they're going to do drugs whether they're dressed in Goth or not. Doing drugs probably doesn't mean they're "evil" either. You got to ask yourselves why people are into drugs at the first place.

I went through the whole dress in black phase too. Just because people like the darker shades and steer away from mainstream doesn't not make them freaks.

The world will be a better place if we'd just learn to live with everyone else. Really. Trust me.
