Goin Goth

Goin Goth I think I’m gonna go goth for a little while, not permenantly or anything but I’ll take a little walk on the dark side. I figure if i go goth I can get away with being really short and sarcastic with people. When people are like, “ooooh, look at these beautiful flowers I got,” I’ll say something like, “they’re just going to die anyway” and people won’t hold it against me because I’ll be goth. “Don’t mind him, he’s just goth,” they’ll say. “He thinks he’s the Prince of the Night.” Maybe that’s what I’ll call myself. Krimson, Prince of the Night. I’ll have to pretty much quit talking to people. I’ll only talk to other goth people and then I still won’t talk very much. I’ll get a hot goth chick girlfriend and make her do all the talking for me. She’ll be sort of obnoxious and nobody will really like her, but she will be really hot and I will claim that she is “the only speck of light in my dark hollow shell.” Getting the hot obnoxious goth girlfriend will be the easy part. The thing that worries me is the wardrobe. I’m going to have to throw away all my clothes. I think the brightest color you are allowed to wear when you are goth is dark blue. Other than that it is all blacks and purples. I don’t have a lot of clothes in these colors so I guess I’m pretty much going to have to start over. I think goth clothes are sorta expensive too. Leather corsets and chains and stuff aren’t too cheap, methinks. I’ll have to start listening to more Bahaus and watching The Crow more often too which is too bad becasue I don’t really like Bahaus or The Crow. I guess I could listen to The Cure too and that’s good because I like thembut I’m tring to be like a hardcore goth dude, so i’ll probably end up listening to some dark underground electronica or something. I think I can also still listen to some metal now and then so that will be nice. Some of you are probably thinking, Matt Kelley, is this going to be like the time you were supposed to “Go Metal” and you sorta just half assed it and the only thing you did to go metal was start listening to Hammerfall? Normally this would be the part were I would start yelling and saying how I would do it and stick to my convictions but in this case you are probably right. Most likely I will try even less to go goth. I like talking to people sometimes and I really dislike having obnoxious girlfriends. I don’t care how hot they are, non-obnoxious girlfriends are much better. I’m probably not even going to go as far as to start listening to Bahaus or watching the Crow. I’ve already seen the Crow. I thought it was ok but there is no way I would consider it one of my favorite movies. If anything, I might watch The Crow 3, Salvation but only because I have recently developed a taste for Kirsten Dunst and that’s still a stretch. Writing this reminded me of a sort of funny (and actually true) story. So The Crow came out when I was in like 8th or ninth grade, methinks and I sorta wanted to see it, but not bad enough to beg my mom to drop me off at the movie theater or anything. I was living with my grandparents when it came out to rent on VHS and when it did come out I rented it. I put it on and my grandpa was in the living room with me. He wasn’t really paying attention at first, but about 20 minutes into the movie my grandfather started insisting that he had seen this movie before. I told him that that was impossible because The Crow just came out to rent that week, but Grandpa kept saying he’d seen it before and proceeded to tell me the whole plot. He was right too. He had seen it. I wasn’t too upset about him ruining the plot for me because you pretty much figure it all out around that time anyway but he knew details that only somebody who had seen the movie before would know. Grandpa had seen The Crow before I got to see it and since it just came out to rent, that meant that he had seen it at the movie theater. As long as I had known my grandfather, we had never gone to the movies. He was old and he couldn’t sit in those seats he said. I have since been perplexed as to why my seventy five year old Grandfather went to see The Crow by himself. I think I was giggling to myself through the whole rest of the movie because of that.
