If there is one thing I love, and adore in this world it's a person who has the bollocks to be exactly who they want to be. You know those kinda people that march to the beat of their own drums. I love those people. This is not to be confused with that horrible concept 'individuality' of which there is no such thing on account of every twat seems to be 'an individual' now, thus making all those people who just go with the flow 'individuals', see where I'm going with this?
Look, I'm gonna give you an image: Wes Borland. Yep, that's right, Wes motherfuckin' Borland.
Don't worry, you are not the only person who doesn't know who he is... but by the time you're done reading this, you will - and hopefully, you'll appreciate him in all his weird and wonderful glory.
He's strummed his way through many, many bands over the years (absolutely no euphemism here whatsoever) but none more famous that Limp Bizkit - love them or hate them, one thing you cannot deny is that collectively they clearly do not give a fuck, which in my book rewards them with a big fat thumbs up. That red cap wearing frontman Fred Durst is pretty much a household name, and he's cool in his own way but the strings holding the whole band together is Mr Borland. He is ridiculously talented, he is one of the greatest and tightest guitarists in the biz so if he wants to dress up in this gruesome outfits then more power to him.
To me, he absolutely defines the word 'cool.' In a band full of metal hip-hoppers wearing baggy shorts, wife beaters and baseball caps, he rocks around on stage in all that bizarre make-up (no one actually knows why) like it's nobody's business- I mean, this guy was even in Marilyn Manson (the eponymously named band, not inside the man himself) and he out Marilyn Mansoned Marilyn Manson, and that is sayin something is it not?! Yes, I absolutely do have a bit of a penchant for all things creepy so I'm bound to be a little obsessed with a guy who wears all black contacts and paints half of his head white just because he wants to (am I the only one here who thinks that pic of him smoking is HOT - not the smoking part but the everything else part?), but the message here is simple - There's always room to be yourself. (unless of course your an axe murderer - seek help for this, being yourself in this scenario is not cool.)
Blending in nicely there...
