Who is going to hate you and/or make fun of you for what you do, what you love, or who you are. Always. I was thinking about Avatar and how there are so many haters, and I think to every movie I've seen and I've always seen at least one bad review. Then I thought about my life, and thought about all the people who make fun of me and hated me for what I've loved, loved to do, and who I am. I used to be the quiet, out of the way kind of kid, elementary through junior high. I would be in the corner not saying a word, just keeping to myself so I wouldn't cause any problems for anyone. Then people made fun of me, called me names like "freak" and "loner" and such. Then going into 8th grade, I was into the whole rap/hip-hop scene, and I was made fun of for that, people saying how it has no beat, no point. It's just full of a bunch of wanna-be's and such (now look whats popular when I left haha), then in high school I was the Bro guy. Not as much into the lifted trucks, but the style of clothing, the music (Kottonmouth Kings, Kingspade, Judge D, ect) and I was made fun of and hated for that. Now for about 2-3 years I'm into the rave scene, the techno/trance/electronic/rave music, being a DJ of the amazing genre, addicted and entranced by the flashing strobes, moving lasers, and other lighting effects (rave gloves!!!) and the beat of the music I can feel in my bloodstream. I'm not leaving this scene, and I get made fun of it all the time, my friends saying that when I give light shows its a "light lap dance" and when I practice my finger movements I'm a "sex massagist" (thanks buddy for the support I'm getting sick of it) and I told my friend off the other day because I was getting sick of him making fun of me for it. Also saying to my face at parties that my music sucks (I said it was a rave party, why did you come expecting rap?) isn't fun to listen to. Back then, I was into the rap and bro scenes because thats what I was around, and seeing other people do it I thought it would be cool, but now I'm in it because its what I enjoy, its what I love. Also my love for cars, I love the import and muscle scenes, but I still get made fun of even though I like both (mostly for imports). Same with Avatar. I love Avatar so so so SOOOOOO much, and I get made fun of for it a lot.
Taking a step back and looking at these things from afar, I watch my attitude now towards others. I try (its hard) not to judge others, I may not agree with what everyone is doing, but hey if you enjoy it, thats totally cool with me... its your life. There are subjects that I do think are wrong (premarital sex, abortion, Justin Bieber, ect) but little things like hobbies, loves, ect. Like I used to be the Twilight Nazi (haha wasn't called that but could be described like that) I would bash on anything and everything Twilight, but after seeing how people treat me for Avatar, I think back to the people I've made fun of for loving Twilight, and I felt really guilty. Now they give me odd looks when they mention Twilight and I don't say a word of hate. I don't love it, but if it was me in their shoes, I wouldn't want to be made fun of the way I made fun of them.
Just a backdrop of me, a thought I had,another way Avatar changed me for the better

Love all of you
