Have you ever met anyone and within 5 seconds you knew they were an awesome & genuinely nice person? When I went to Philly Folk Fest I met some people who were really this way. I didn't doubt for a second that they had a bad/dark side. Maybe I am being naive, but I don't think so. Of course there were people I met I didn't feel that way about, but the majority of people I met were very awesome and nice. I can tell that is how they live their lives.
It has happened to me lots of times and usually I was not mistaking. But it happened few times that those people turned out to be what I thought they weren't.
I have done this many times. I'm sometimes wrong but hey I met this guy named Jeff here in my town and w just clicked like that. It was weird cuz I thought I knew everyone in this town but apperently not. We were friends in like ten seconds. It was crazy. Really cool guy ya know and I never woulda thought him to be shady or shitty in anyway but then he got off on the Oxycontin and using needles for everything and now hes a shady bitch who rips people off and dodges friends. I wanna blame the drugs but you can't do that because he chooses to act the way he does. What I really hate is when I meet someone and something doesn't seem right and I'm sure that they are bad news or something and I don't want to be around them and then come to find out they are like one of the nicest, greatest folk ever and I had just misjudged.
Same thing happened with one of my best friends. When we met we felt like we had been friends for years and we were like instant sisters. After a while she started rigging everything as well. I dont if that has anything to do with why she became shady all the sudden, but it did seem to go hand in hand. I have a hard time being around her these days, she isnt the same. Anyway, I usually have really good intuition about people. I can usually tell if they are genuine and all that. Sometimes it is scary how well I can read people. I used to be really trusting of folk when I was younger and that got me into some bad situations.....so I am a little more cautious these days.
i tried to stop making definite assumptions about ppl. b/c alot of times they prove me wrong one way or another (good or bad). I dunno, I guess I know too many ppl. that are so good at acting like they are the most genuiely nice ppl. ever and aren't. They turn that side of their personality on like a faucet or a light switch. So maybe I've just grown skeptical...
One of my best friends is like that. She has a wonderful personality, she's always true to herself and to others, she has such a good heart and she genuinely cares about other people. I'm so lucky to have her in my life.
Ive met loads of these people for some reason its maily been women not allways but about 80% of the time ... im not complaining im not gay and prefer the company of gals anywho Anyone in the uk that hasnt had the opertunity to meet alot of these people they congregate ...(ha ha ha) well in my opinion mainly in south wales and Cornwall but dont despair the all gather together for social events such as the amazingly peaceful budah fields & Big Green festivals Peace and Love to all of you funky jazz cats
