im so excited...

i just wrote buddy cole, a.k.a. scott thompson, and it was the first outreach to a celebrity i have ever made, and i think will actually get there. I also written to Daniel Johnston, but i doubt he will receive my letter or write back...i am just excited to hear back from some of these living legends. I don't know what it is, or what people's fascination with other people is....

I know when i was younger, I was writing a punk magazine, usually called a zine, and i was sending all these interview questions to these punk bands that i never even met...i wasn't even old enough to go to their shows! But the ones that did respond, I thank, with all my being, giving a little kid a chance, answering his stupid questions may seem stupid, but you don't know what kind of impact that leaves on a 14 year old kid. I wasn't writing the president, my senator, or anybody like that, they don't mean shit to me, I was writing the people that moved me, that took their time to reach kids like me...that's the people i wanted to talk to, thats the people i wanted to be like if at all possible, that's the people that actually responded!

I am sad to see now, if you wanted to write a letter to some lame band on MTV, you would never get a response, or at least not an automated one. I find that amusing and disheartening at the same time...those are the kind of people that don't deserve fans....not that i should judge, but come on!

Thanks, if anyone reads this
