Prejudice #1
Probably one of the most hated things that I truly can't stand. Whether it comes down to skin color, clothing, attitude, etc. it's truly amazing how quickly people are to judge someone.

Example, I was delivering pizza to the bowling alley in one of the nearby towns and I was playing Impending Doom on my car stereo. Take note I love having my music loud and I enjoy air drumming and singing / screaming in the car from time to time. However, this was one of those days where I just cruised and enjoyed the music. I dropped the pizzas off and got back in my car and started to pull away. As I left the parking lot, I passed a family. Mom, Dad, 2 boys and 1 girl. The mother saw / heard me pass by and instantaneously covered her 2 little boys' ears and stared at me while shaking her head. In all honesty, I get this a lot and people really don't like it when I drive by. I don't really care because I'm not out to please people that I don't even know, but I'm not sure why my music is so "evil" when they haven't even listened to the lyrics nor know the meaning. The current song was "Death. Ascension. Resurrection." and if you're smart enough to interpret that along with the fact that they're an extremely religious group, you can say that they're singing about God in this song. I'm not pushing my religious beliefs here so don't worry guys. Tongue I'm just saying that too many people now-a-days are too quick to judge and it's really sad.

Another story is something else completely different and has to do with homosexuality. Honestly, I'm not for it, but I won't be against it since I think we're all equal human beings and no sexual preferences and appearances should differentiate us. He is actually one of the best bowlers I know in my area and helped me strengthen my game by 10x. He's one of the primary reasons I was able to shoot 300 / 800 since that was after 3 weeks of dedicated hard work. I spent about 3 hours a day for 3 days a week with him at the bowling alley just doing drills and basic instruction. He gets judged for being gay and I do at times get bagged on it for being friends with him. It's usually silly jokes and most of the time, it's out of friendliness and in a joking manner. However, I really wish that there wasn't such separation because he is gay and I find it pretty fucked up.

I'm not going to lie, I am prejudice at times towards certain people. It is most certainly not to their face and it's really only to myself where it's not relevant or noticeable.


I'm not going to lie, I really like this section and I love to rant about things.

Sadly most of the world is like this. It's very annoying. It's mostly out of ignorance, as most people that subscribe to this logic are the ones that never 'leave home' and experience the world and its differences.
