I had this idea for this post a while ago, around the time of graduation in June.
Now I have finally decided to type it up, partly because I want to actually finish something I start writing.
One thing that I learned from highschool is that, so often we make assumptions about "who people are" based on our first experiences we've had with them or experiences many years ago.
I mean, personally I do this probably more often than I would like to, and I think we all do this because it is natural. It's human nature to stereotype;
the first humans probably tried to avoid lions to not die, and who ever decided it wasn't ok to put all lions in the same boat of predators was probs killed (Sorry if that joke was awful, but I wrote it so it fucking stays.)
Anyways, what I'm trying to say is these assumptions seem to often bring out the worst in us.
I'm only 18, and to be honest I don't know much about what life is really like after high school, but this is what I've observed so far.
I guess how we often define people is through how
we view them for the first times. And a lot of the time, we grow and learn to see them for who they really are and not just as a stereotype.
BLAHGH! I feel like what I've typed so far is pretty crappy, I'm having trouble with my words conveying the thoughts in my mind. I guess I will try to use example.
I feel like, I've pretty much always loved humor, and I wanted to be a funny guy. That seems fitting since I was voted our class clown in high school, but I was not always viewed as funny by those around me. I was a shy quiet kid. Then for some reason, I stopped giving a shit about making a fool of my self and made a fool out of myself.
(I think I was the only kid who looked forward to pep rallys)
What I realized is that I'm lucky, ya know, people didn't only view me as the shy kid, they were open to let me be funny... a comedian is only as funny as a the audience lets him be.
But the thing is, Some kids a trapped in these cliche stereotypes, where people refuse to view them any other way. There are some kids I knew who were much funnier and wittier than I was, but no one would see it because in middle school they were viewed as "the weird kid" or something
I guess the main point is that people can change, or at least situations do. We need to view them this way.
But anyway here's another topic, that I will type really fast and not spellcheck!
When i made my blog name I thought of Rich Brenner, my cousin or something like that, who thought of the name when we were trying to make a band name. I really liked it but I speled sauce wrong, I though suase was the righ spelling.
Ya, I'm done writting for today, sorry if it left you empty and longing for more like music by the smashing pumkins or a low quality pizza which was kinda small, but you want more food not neccesarily the medirocre pizza
PS. If you buy a PC sometime soon it comes with this one song "Kalimba" by Mr. Scruff on the album Ninja Tuna. It's a sweet song
-The Sause
