Sometimes someone makes a statement, says a quote, that just sums up how you feel at that given time. i recently stumbled upon such a quote recently reading an interview of Ian MacKaye. In the interview he said "...I care, but I don't give a fuck...".
This quote summed up much of the reason i behave the way i do. i genuinely care about life. Quality of life. i don't like to see people suffering, struggling, being treated badly. i have no tolerance for the bullying that constantly goes on in our society. All living things deserve better than the conditions we are currently existing in. As much as i may seem cynical and jaded when it comes down to it, i care. Otherwise, i wouldn't do many of the things that i do and in turn my daily life would probably be easier.
i don't give a fuck. i have no attachment to the status quo. i care very little about what other people think of me. i can walk away from most 'things' in a second. What you think of my lifestyle is of little concern to me. There is very little middle of the road for me. i typically passionately care or don't give a fuck. Not much is truly sacred. Balance through extremes?
Despite my cynical outburst to the contrary i do honestly care about people. Without my siblings, friends, and true love (listed in chronological order) i would not have lasted as long as i have. i figure most people have family, friends, and loved ones who care about them as i care about mine. We really have more in common than we commonly think.
As far as excuses, i don't give a fuck. Stop making justifications for doing things that you know are wrong and start listening to more FUGAZI.
(i've got to stop making excuses for not skateboarding every day)
