let me get this straight!...because some of you'all think something is cheezy that makes it so?! and when you leave the "scene" and come back and its not the same as it was, it must be dead? believe me you dont really know!
let me try it another way...I'm in this human sexuality class and the very first day the teacher told us his theory of sexuality is "I dont know shit!"...I took that to heart in a lot of different areas of life and I have to agree with him, I think the more you know the less you really know....so I guess unless your going to ALLL the gigs out there and know all the djs on the planet, and every single rekid out thene your only going to know what YOU know...I dont pretend to know MY music is the best, hell I've been to so many parties and heard so many kinds of music, and though I may not have loved every party I know I loved the fact I was listening to music...new music! REALLY, dont worry the "scene" is not dead (god, I've been saying this for like 8 years), it just changes just like every person out there...you have different ideas, motivations, likes, dislikes, new girlfriend/boyfriend, you moved....basically there is so many different factors that let you percieve "the scene" in a multitude of ways...how boring would it be if we all liked the same music?? so if you leave the scene for a bunch of months (I've done this twice), the scene will always be there, it just looks a little different from when you last left...the only way to make sure the scene doesnt change is for YOU to create your own niche...and I just dont have the time to do this...long live change!!! peace da'Wolf --- bChoi! <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Heh...
