Now.. the idea starting my blog at blogger is that MySpace somehow managed to hide all of my posts when creating the new MySpace.. and I need a place to write :-D yes I know, would be better to shut up.. but I won´t, I've always been stubborn like that :-D
So anyways, if someone ever read my MySpace blog they know I wrote a whole lot of posts of stuff that we discussed at the coffee table at work.. and here I go again a post about something discussed at work this morning.. see I usually continue to think about some of the stuff even after I have had the discussion while drinking my morning coffee.
The topic of the day is : fans
Note the kind that you can put on your table to cool you down tho :-D this is about people loving people, sometimes too much.
Now, I am a fan, a huge fan of many musicians, artists etc.. BUT the fact that I just don´t get even when I try my very best to understand it, why do some people love .. well for example Justin Bieber so much that they are ready to get pregnant with his kid without even knowing the dude well ( JB came to mind because we were talking about his show in Fin and how the girls went berserk when he was here and basically were ready to do ANYTHING to see him for 2 seconds ). I mean it´s fantastic to say your are someones fan.. but for me it basically means that I respect and love and enjoy something they create and respect the person in their own field. I don´t get the hysteria though, these are just people too, not god´s or goddesses or something above these two things. I´ve met many of my fav. musicians for example during my life but it´s just like talking to a normal person.. guess why? newsflash THEY ARE normal people too. They get hurt, they laugh, they probably cry, they enjoy themselves, they go to the toilet, they need sleep and they need food and water too. The special thing about these people in my mind is that they are amazingly good in their own line of work, that´s something to respect :) I mean I have worked my entire career to be really good at what I do and so have they .. I don´t have a fan club though :-D ok well not in the extend that a musician would have for example.
If you go to a gallery to see paintings of a famous painter, do you go around screaming so loudly that the windows break and cry so hard that your eyes get swollen shut? nope.. you probably don´t.. so in my mind that is a full comparison to the hysteric reaction that a fan get´s when they meet JB for example.. and isn´t acting like that a wasted opportunity to actually talk to the artist? get a few comments of the show directly from them? or a wasted opportunity of telling them how much you appreciate the products of their souls for example? in my mind it is.. I rather talk to people than scream :-D but then again.. I've never been hysterical about another person.. crazy about them yes.. but not hysterical.. so as a conclusion.. I must be the most boring "fan" on this planet :-D
