Mistakes were made! (But that's ok)

We all make mistakes, it's human nature, nobody is perfect and as the saying goes; "to err is human, to forgive is divine". As the picture above shows, one of my all-time favourite bands made a mistake. A joke was made that, in hindsight, probably shouldn't have been. Kyle Gass apologised at the time and subsequently on social media. His bandmate Jack Black also apologised and then went one step further and cancelled the rest of their tour and future projects. I feel it was just a misjudged joke and the uproar about it was o.t.t. considering they both apologised and I've definitely heard worse bad taste jokes on a stage before. I will always adore Tenacious D and just chalked this one down to a spur of the moment joke that ultimately was a mistake. 

This story made me make a mistake too - I posted about this incident but maybe should have worded it better and checked if anyone else got hurt at the Trump rally, (I genuinely thought he had just got shot in the ear, I never knew anybody else had died), so I stood up for Kyle Gass and some people in my friends list got upset as they believed I was dismissing someone's death, I obviously wasn't but this doesn't matter as I upset a few people, some of which I class as friends so that sucks. I never seek to upset anybody if I can help it so I rarely post topical things online as it may upset or offend someone. So, I made a mistake and apologised to those I upset...yet, the lingering cloud of feeling bad still very much remains. I have vowed never to post vaguely topical and stick to dumb videos and other light-hearted nonsense. 

I guess the point of this blog is to point out EVERYBODY makes mistakes and that's ok, I feel I will probably make more mistakes many times and each and every time I will sincerely apologise as no offence is ever really meant. I hope by writing this blog I can forgive myself for this error in judgement and get some sleep tonight. 

Go make mistakes but own it too, apologise and move on folks!
