I noticed something funny yesterday (for me at least). I just realized that “Be Yourself” by Audioslave was the only song that has zero playcount on Rhythmbox, even though it’s been weeks since I installed Lucid and God knows how many times it plays “Human Beings” by Van Halen over and over. It’s rather surprising that there’s a song that hasn’t been played yet despite the playlist is quite short (about 158 songs). Guess that’s what you’d expect from shuffle mode, but still…

Speaking about “Be Yourself”, I think it’s the only necessary mantra to get yourself alienated from the crowd. People tend to expect you to dress the same, behave the same, speak the same, and or think the same like them before they would accept you tho the group. To be yourself means being different to the rest of the group, and that’s a no-no.

But what am I kidding? We are social beings to begin with, so to submit to the peer pressure is only inevitable. Even if it’s feel bitter :P
