The drawbacks of being straight-edged.

I have one word for the current group of friends I have: Wholesome.

Yep. We’re wholesome. We do wholesome activities like
karaoke-ing, community service, dinner parties, and sometimes if people are feeling
adventurous enough we go to Dave and Busters to drink and play video
games.

Wholesome.

I was thinking about it, though, and there are some drawbacks to this wholesomeness.

1. No one will do anything illegal with me

It’s not like I’m going to, but what if I did?

I mean, what if at one point, if I suddenly decided to become a drug
dealer? My current friends would not support me in that decision.
They definitely wouldn’t buy from me… And they’d probably even try to
talk me out of it.

Hell, they’d probably try to talk me out of doing drugs let alone become a drug dealer.

So this brings me to my second point:


2. Nobody knows anyone who is in any shady business

Hanging out with shadier friends, I always knew somebody who knew
someone who could point me to someone else for something that I
needed. Fake ID? No problem. Drugs? Even easier.

These days, I get giggles when underagers want me to buy them alcohol.

As much as I love all my friends, there are days when I wish I knew more people who were a little more shady.

Or do I?

i agree completely… life is boring always doing what your told. you need an adventure. maybe a cash scheme, then retire in the bahamas and become a straight edge \ scenester

haha shady people are everywhere… just that… if you seem wholesome… they will not show you that side… they don’t want to corrupt you… it’s actually scary… people don’t want to go to hell because they corrupted the innocent…then again.. there are those who seek out the unweary and break em in…

CMDLL said,

i try to keep one or two friends around who are shady. not to close to them, dont wanna hurt my rep, but still the kind thatll probably grow up to be alcoholics or stoners or womanizers.

December 8, 2005 @ 2:53 pm

I have the same problem.
Only in a slightly more 15-year-old manner. All of my friends are people who have to be home either before dark, or by 6:00. I decided the other night to complain to one of my older, more shady friends, and wound up doing some underage drinking, lying to parents, and staying out until 11:00.
And I don’t regret it one bit.

shaddiness is overrated. at least you aren’t wholesome like church going, gossip singing, bible reading people

I have shady-wholesome friends.We go around stalking people,and pretending we do drugs.Not shady enough for you, I guess.

MT_Headed said,

December 8, 2005 @ 3:29 pm

Hmm, I always considered myself “wholesome”ish, but I never saw it in a negative light. Just don’t go around putting x’s on your hands and screamin out “straight edge” at your local music club now.

NO YOU DONT!

simplyxmoi said,

December 8, 2005 @ 3:31 pm

actually i guess you dont. because if you did want friends who were more shady, why would you pick these people as your friends anyways?
i dont know. bad activities = bad punishment. you’ll end up in jail. and thats not a fun place to be..

Ooooo, shi lives!
Shady friends. Ha. I think. ‘What if’s’ are great. Knowing people who could actually get you all of that good stuff’s great….but your life sounds good as is right now.
Sad thing is….I think I do know ppl who could get the drugs and everything right now. =(

Brett_T said,

i think in the long run, it’s a lot better that you have such wholesome friends.

cloudedfuture said,

December 8, 2005 @ 4:21 pm

it’s fun to have a mix of people who are more liberal in what they do. ( shouldn’t call it shady, that just makes them sound like bad people.) It’s always more fun to party with drugs and alcohol than juice and cookies.

SingingMonkey12 said,

December 8, 2005 @ 4:22 pm

That is true. When you want to do things outside your usual box, your usual friends might not want to step out of the box with you. That just means – stay in your box =P especially if you are talking about certain “illegal activities” =P

Jennie_Nguyen said,

i feel your pain. tried getting some drugs but no one i know does them. how sad.

Scorpi said,

December 8, 2005 @ 4:38 pm

glad i don’t hang out w/ them. i’d be too bored too fast.to find shade, get out of the sunlight.

keneke said,

December 8, 2005 @ 5:20 pm

HUZZAH AND WELCOME BACK. i have the same group of friends that you do. on the other hand i still have so called “side groups” that i like just as much. many of these side groups are of the shadier variety. i like to think that i keep a good balance although i’m more on the wholesome side than shady.

buddyhood said,

December 8, 2005 @ 5:28 pm

no you don’t.. trust me you don’t.. i use to hang with the gangbangers from my side of town.. it’s not pretty.. you watch people get busted.. get stoned.. get themselves into differing degrees of idiocy.. all for naught.. don’t even go there..

Shady friends aren’t all they’re cracked up to be….Too much peer pressure if you ask me, but it’s cool….I enjoy being with them, just not when they’re doing all that nonsense….You know what I’m sayin’….Keep it real B….Payceout….

i prefer wholesome friends. but it’s all up to you. maybe they’re wholesome. and you, well, you just aren’t.

We always want to trade the things we have for the things we do not have.You are wiser to choose a life in happiness than a seedy underworld. Those people live the way they do, because they tend to not know how to live otherwise.

SystemicChanges said,

December 9, 2005 @ 6:56 am

She’s alive! Ok, well, if you say they are your friends, but they won’t support you no matter what you do, then how can you really call them friends? True friends will stand behind you, walk through the fire with you, and for you, and will never leave your side.

ItsJusta_Lie said,

December 9, 2005 @ 11:55 am

Lmao.So true.But being Wholesome is fun too.You never get blamed for anything, I skipped class and no one could believe it.A goody goody with mad skipping skills? It’s just unheard of.

glowingstar71 said,

December 9, 2005 @ 2:42 pm

i used to be wholesome and had only wholesome friends.  then i went raving….and i still remained wholesome.  and then i decided to be unwholesome, and i haven’t looked back since :)
if u want to find drugs, go raving in l.a.!  make some friends in the scene.  wait til u find people u can trust, and then try e with them.  it will change your life!  just be careful.  i got careless one day and almost got busted.  n when i wanted to stop, i stopped.  no, u won’t automatically go to jail for doing “bad” things, but be responsible for yourself….
but…..note that u may outgrow your current crop of wholesome friends…but you will make new ones who you may have more things in common with.
just my two cents…..have fun!
(oh, and be sure and learn the difference between a nice dealer and a bad one!)

glowingstar71 said,

December 9, 2005 @ 2:44 pm

and btw…before u sell drugs, u gotta do em yourself!  if u reallly wanna go that route, just meet a nice dealer and become a connect for them.  i bet some of your friends have a naughty streak in them, but just don’t want to let their id free….

thats just where you need a balance of “wholesome” and “the shady” people.  i am the shady person, i know the good, and i know those that are MUCH worse than i am.  but you shouldnt do illegal things, its bad for you

December 10, 2005 @ 7:46 pm

ahh….i see! i thought u had only hung out with ur same straight-edge friends that maybe u had in high school…. in that case…well, i guess u could always go back to the underground scene, but i’m not sure u will find it the same as when u left it. i’ve been pretty much out of the raving scene since 2000 (though i still like clubbing).actually, i currently live in japan. i will be flying into lax on wednesday, though, but not to stay in l.a. going to visit the family after a 16 month absence :)have a great holiday!

there’s a distinction between people who are shady and people who are in shady businesses. illegal substance enthusiasts aren’t necessarily shady and wholesome dinner-party goers can still pull shady shit here and there.a good rule of thumb is to stay away from shady-ass people (whatever their “hobbies” are).

Generality said,

It’s a basic instinct to want to be shady, part of the sinful nature in all of us. Ironically a lot of people fill that void of wanting to be shady through Xanga. I would say that’s a good thing though so we don’t have people exposing, killing, hurting, copulating, masturbating, etc, in public….
