I actually wrote this one the first semester of my senior year but kind of forgot to put it up with the rest of the web page until I randomly remembered it today a year and a half after I wrote it.
Basicaly it was a responce to a teacher I had who thoroughly frustrated me. Whenever someone would do something 'normal' i.e. what the masses did, he'd give them crap (fairly jokingly but somewhat seriously) about not being themself or not doing their own thing or not being unique. Now, I am all for being unique and doing what you like (as in your views, the clothes you wear, the music you listen to, etc) but what if you happen to like what the masses like in a particular category. That teacher would give me crap occasionally about things I liked doing, that I chose to do on my own (sometimes unaware that it's what the masses do) just because it was stuff a majority of other people do. This was more for other peopler who get this kind of persicution because I often find myself in a different direction than the masses. None the less, I hope you get that from this story.
