Ok...here goes everybody. There's been rumors, stories. It's time I made it official. I'm only gonna say this once, so pay attention. It's been weeks..no months of torture..trying to hide it - trying to pretend that it's not me. But it is. I hope nobody will be disappointed in me or think of me differently because I really am the same person. I really am. So if you can't deal with what I'm about to say, just tell me. I'm sure now I'm gonna find out who my real friends are. Ok..here it goes...

I like Green Day.

Wow. That feels better. Whew...what a load off. I've really tried not to like them, but I can't help it. Their songs are catchy. I respect what they have to say - and their catchy way of saying it. Sure, I know they used to have songs about masturbation ("Longview") and things like that. They were fun back then. But now they're grown up and have opinions. And, even though I totally disagree with their opinions, they present them with such catchy tunes that I can't help myself. I mean, there's "Wake me up when September ends" and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and "Good Riddance." They're really good. They're not punk, as they would like to have people believe, but they are great. So friends, please don't look down on me. I held off as long as I could. It feels better to have it out there...for everybody to know. I'll understand if there's weirdness between us now. Don't worry...it'll wear off. And if you're not like me, it's ok..not everybody is. That's what makes the world go 'round.
