The general mistrust and rudeness of others

[tsumik]

So lately I've run into just alot of really not so nice people and I'm baffled why people are the way they are. Like beyond just having a bad day not nice. More like outside of ones normal range of thinking is acceptable not nice.

Last night I had to deal with Paul Oakenfold, Liquid Todd and his tour manager getting all up in my grill. And if it was just me I'd probably just write it off as they don't like photographers but it was everyone. The club staff, the promoter, the fans, I just fail to see why being mean to everyone accomplishes much. One thing my father taught me was to be nice to EVERYONE no matter what they do or where they come from. It's helped me so many times in life when I was just a little happier/nicer to someone working some place and watch them bend rules, provide extra information, or even go out of there way to help me get what ever it was I needed done.

I guess I believe to much in kindness in others. And while that's a good trait I think it sadness me to think there are so many out there that beat that trait into hiding and makes me a bitter individual. So for my sake and others go out of your way to be just an extra smidge nicer to someone please. =)

You and me both brother. I very seldom do something mean or don't smile. Always be optimistic. Seems like to me there are enough tempers to go around now adays, we need all the smiling faces we can get. ;) Remember, I'm sure you've probably heard this quote before but those that care don't matter and those that matter don't care. And trust me, I'd much rather hang around you than a famous DJ who's a jerk because he isn't getting what he wants, any day of the week. People aren't going to hang out with others who are pissed off all the time. Just hang in there and be patient. ;)

I haven't seen or talked to you in ages. Let's play soon!

How's that for nice.
