The Fashion of You – 3 thoughts.

This to a certain…ok large extent sounds like a Holden Caufield-esque rant about how what we wear determines us etc.

First of all let’s break it down into chunk then look into it.

1. How we feel on the day can be communicated by what we wear

2. The obvious ‘demographic’ look

3. Statement Steves

Think those 3 are a good start.

1. How we feel on the day can be communicated by what we wear

Have you ever looked at your rack/ stack of tshirts – chosen.

Checked the look of the jeans/ pants to go with it – chosen.

These choices were not made by, ‘this is the look I want’ but more so by ‘this is what I feel like’.

You have right?

The theory I go by is that it’s your subconscious way of saying “this is how I feel today, take a look and approach accordingly”.

Quick example. Rockin the ugly huge sunnies and a college hoody with trackpants isn’t the most friendliest way to greet a friend unless you are REAL TIGHT, in that case it’s kinda cool. (think this relates to the females more…correct me if I’m wrong)

2. The obvious ‘demographic’ look

So you’re an angered youth – go emo (you may lynch me later)

So you have no intelligence – go jock (don’t pop your collar…and fluro is not fashionable)

So you think you’re fashionable – go retard (basically dress like a dyslexic giraffe was your robe coordinator)

So you’re 50 cent – go fake (metal coated plastic chains are not hard…they’re stupid)

So you’re gay – go look at point 3 (you’ll see in point 3)

If i haven’t pissed off everyone by now you are uber resilient or yes you got it! This is all not to be taken so seriously.

We all throw ourselves under a demographic or subculture that we believe defines us…half the time none of us know what we truly represent. The other half is a stupid jock that is rich via daddy so why care.

ANYWAY the point of number 2 is to reconsider what ‘niche’ do we really think we’re in…that’s all.

And do we fit, or is it all a happy facade for recognition?

3. Statement Steves

This is the person you see often that wears something a bit too outrageous or plain ugly on purpose so people notice them.

A feeble cry – to the natural instinct of wanting to be noticed. To these people…capital punishment should be reintroduced. Which super doting idiot with a fedora the size of Kansas doesn’t deserve a douche slap?

Or the super freak that wears leather pants and a fluro top doesnt deserve a public tar and feather?

There’s more examples but you get the idea – don’t over do it…we all have elements of it – like getting out that secret dress or pants/ shirt we have for a hidden giggle.

Just don’t over do it…you look like less fun than a clown in the rain and yes just about the same entertainment value.

Apart from that. Have a great day – these are thoughts so feel free to criticize or praise. Or just say something strange.

Movie Review: Don’t mess with Zohan 3 Lessons

Movie Review: Don’t mess with Zohan

First Lesson: Don’t watch it. If you do…leave after 30 minutes, because no it does not get better…it gets worse.

Second Lesson: Adam Sandler is still alright…while he does roll out many a lamer movie these days…We all still love him for about 2-3 awesome moves. (Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore come to mind)

Third Lesson: This is not a date flick. I repeat do not think comedy of this calibre will win the hearts of a woman that you desire haha

Out of 10…. 0.5 there were its ups and downs but they were all used in the trailer so nothing was uber awesome.

If you really have nothing to do and you want Adam Sandler to educate you on the Israel and Palestine war…this is what you’ve waited for all your life.

Hope you’ve enjoyed this slender review it’s all you need.

Enjoy your week!

Bad Guys get the girls: the scoop

Image via Wikipedia

Bad guys get the girls and the nice guy always finish last right? We’re always told that this is a myth and that being a gentlemen and being uber nice wins in the end. Perhaps it does but according to this article (LINK) bad guys really do take home the ladies.

The bad traits are ‘narcissism, the impulsive, thrill seeking behaviour of psycho-paths…with a deceitful and exploitative.’ Basically what most people hate in a person.

This is pretty interesting stuff as it means that perhaps being not so nice can get you the girl of your dreams or watever the hell you’re after.

While this may hold true, the choice to change oneself away from who they really are into a ‘prick’ is perhaps not very advisable. I can understand that adding a little banter to spice things up is fine but really switching up who you are is rather messed up.

I think keeping who you are and just adding assertiveness is fine. Assertiveness is a form of confidence that takes one over the line of fight or flight…and we all know confidence is a plus.

No need to ‘mack’ your best friends girl, take the girl that your friend was after…all these friendship breakers are compromised in this ‘prick’ role. Which I see happen often…for all those newly or current pricks while it’s all good to get your ‘game’ on, just remember to never forget to be human and respect the basic codes of friendship.

Apart from that you can mack all you want! Losing real friends that’ll stick by you is worth a lot more than a fling.

So the final word I guess is…

Seduce with a human conscience.

Have a great week all you mack daddies and mummies  :p

A new saying “We meet to Depart” – how are we treating friends?

The original post is from John Maeda’s Laws of Simplicity blog (LINK)

A Korean friend of John told him this saying:

We meet to depart.

These past few weeks I’ve been thinking about human contact and the way how one interacts with another determines the whole relationship.

For example, you have 2 friends – Friend A is a close friend so you will go out of my way to meet up with them and hopefully they feel the same way.

Friend B however is one of our usual suspect ‘outer fringe’ friends, sure we don’t mind the occasional drink with them but we don’t go out of our way to really meet up with them, and to be honest we may find it irritating if they asked us to meet up with them more than ‘desired.’

Now both A and B want to meet with you the same amount but obviously more time and resources are invested into A of whom you enjoy the company thereof.

I’m quite sure each of us have these relationships at simultaneous relationships, the question is how are we treating A and B?

My ideal way would be to keep hanging out with A as usual but perhaps at least give B one (or three) chances to see if it dawns on you that they may just be a really cool person underneath that outerfriend circle.

I’ve found this true as I meet many unique people through bboyin aka breakdance. I am more accustom to chuck most people that aren’t in my ‘clique’ into the B basket.

My suggestion to us all (myself included of course!) is that we perhaps give a shot to the people that go out of their way to try and become our friends, that want to become an A from a B.

I tried it on Tuesday and you find that the more good company that one has around them where a more equal appreciation is the foundation is one of the best environments to be in.

Well that’s enough of my huge rant, try it out! Let me know what you think of this thought whether you think it’s good to sometimes jump out of our comfort zone to meet others, or personal shell comfort is sometimes the best in certain circumstances.

OH! and the meaning of today’s saying (We meet to depart.) is explained by John Maeda below:

“Somewhat sad, but ever so true. The implications are to treasure (or withstand) experiences with other people in the present as conditions will always change.”

Have a great mid week!

One way to Good Road Etiquette

Image via Wikipedia

Hey guys,

Just a quick blog about roadside etiquette and how it can make OR break someone’s day…

So yesterday I’m driving in the city and it was peak traffic, I was waiting in a lane to get onto a main road with all the cars piled…out of all the people to give way to me and let me in was a bus.

That little gesture, even tiny as it may seem totally changed my mood and day.

Has this ever happened to you? Made your day?

Hopefully it has, or you were the one doing the giving way. THANK YOU!

I know from now on I’ll definitely take that one gesture (OR MORE of course) to give way to those who definitely need the 2 metre space of the road more than I do for that brief 2 second wait while they drive on by.

Overall, let’s just keep our road etiquette to a high standard if we can, not only are we making people’s days happier in general, we’re also reducing the awful disease called road rage.

Have an awesome pending weekend!
