whY

why is a question that i think needs to be asked more often. people so readily judge something without asking the why's behind it. thus they unknowingly base their opinions on the current reality as opposed to digging a bit deeper and searching for the why's involved of how this became the current reality. why is a good question. its a question that many people may be asked about themselves and not even know the answer. it does involve more effort, and i think this is why so many don't bother to ponder it or pursue it. or maybe, i've just inherited my mother's genes, and that is why i think more why's should be asked, because i think about the why's when it comes to most things. why, you may ask, am i writing about why? why, do i have a point? of course. elliott yamin is my point. so many are like, why him? why? why clay aiken? why, why why? this is the why behind my boys...as everyone realizes, when you get out of highschool, the coolness factor matters no more. you can be who you are, and are no longer put into a certain group or social class based on your cool, or lack there of, factor. ok, well maybe the heirarchy still exists as far as a social ladder, but to most, its not as in your face as it is in highschool and middle school, and usually its no longer based on coolness. so, probably, at least if they had gone to my middle school, guys like Clay and Elliott would have been in the loser catergory, or class, if you will. this sucks, i know because i was so loser status in jr high. and although as time goes on, you lose the stereotypes and move on, (and in my case, become ultra cool) you still will never forget those awful years when you knew that you just didn't have "it", whatever "it" was. and so yes, i do like the underdog. i can relate to them, we've shared a common bond, and when people such as these accomplish something like they have on American Idol, it makes me, as a former fellow middleschool loser very, very proud of what we can accomplish. and this is why i love elliott:)
