  • Apperance apparently is everything..


    So my friends and I have known each other for years now. I met a majority of them in high school, and for the past 4 years i've faded in and out with a majority of them. Obviously, everyone has changed but it's quite obvious I was definetely the biggest change. Why is this? Well it was all an apperance thing. I went from your typical American Eagle look. Ya know the short hair, and baggy pants. Around junior year is the type I completely changed the way I looked. I grew my curly medium brown hair out, and changed it up to black and straight. Those baggy pants, took a while to get rid of but at least they were gone and the skinny jeans were in. True, it looks like I was on made from being "Mr. Popular to Emo Kid." Trust me, that was never my intention it was more less to stop looking like every other kid, and it doesn't hurt to try anything new.

    That's relevant because everyone should know the saying "Don't judge a book by it's cover," that's what this is about. Most of my friends stuck with me up until now, and they continue to do so however it's finally that tonight I've thought about all of this. I was on Skype talking to one of my buds, and we started talking about winter coats. Trying to help him out I suggest a few coats, he hates them all. Okay, he sends me a link to this Kenneth Cole Peacoat, which looks exactly the same as the one I sent him [Heritage 1981.] I send him this one coat, it's more of an edgy style and his exact words were "trash, i wouldnt be caught dead in anyone of those coats." Obviously this doesn't suprise me, but I figured it was worth a shot. Then he goes on to say, "you're as trashy as those coats." WHOA! was definetely my first though. Let's just say, it was a wake up call. It's sad but it's then that I realized why my relationships were going sour. My friends hate the clothes I wear enough to ruin our friendship. No joke, I haven't talked to a former friend for that exact reason. We stopped talking because I'm stick thin and I fit into American Apperal t-shirts [Fitted] and he doesn't. One of my closest friends apparently is "embarassed to go out in public," because I'm some "long haired, tight pants freak." Don't I have awesome friends?

  • we're all on the run

     

    it's been a month since my last blog, so it's been a while. yeah, i've been busy but also lazy. my 18th bday party was lame. clubbing afterwards was a blast though, even though some creep started hitting on my friend. however, i got home really late but it was completely worth it all. next saturday is my friends 18th, and it's going to be similar to mine. we're all going clubbing, and then the next day we're headed down to the beach in chicago. hopefully, north avenue or whatever one is by watertower place.

    some of you may remember the idea of me starting a line. if not, then i plan on starting a line. this dream i've had is actually coming along a lot better than i had expected. i've got 1 design down, and soon have to transfer it to the computer. the lucky thing is, my mom knows someone who owns a printing company. this makes life so much easier. however, he's been on vacation for the past 2 weeks so we haven't talked to him.

    anyway, life is okay. a drag at the moment, i'm still looking for a job. i had an interview with the picture people, but they didn't want me =[ ehh no biggie. i applied at caribou coffee, and hollywood video lets hope one of those take me. i need a haircut, i need my laptop, i need to do so much stuff before school starts. i realize you don't want to hear it, but it's true. i'm actually excited about this whole college thing though, however it sucks having to wake up at 7 :/

    PS - i will be blogging more often ;]

  • hanging with the chameleons

     

     the funny thing about this is, it truly was all your fault. ignoring phone calls, and texts seems to be the latest trend and you just joined. however, you could expect this out of you now, but not before. you actually stood for something, except now you've lost morals, values, and friends.

    strange, how you survive to leech off others marks. while others can only attempt to find the inner beauty, you prevent them. instead you choose the simpler path, the path of the chameleon. where blending in is the essential quality of life. whereas the chameleon depends on camoflauge, and you do not.

    unfortudently, you haven't dig deep enough into yourself to figure out where or what you want. now that you've grasped what you've wanted, you're not completely satisfied. and so the cycle repeats itself. hanging with the the transparents never got you anywhere, but you're to blind to see.

    but clearly, no one is good enough.

  • as the clock runs

    i haven't actually blogged in a while because i've just been running around like a madman these past couple of weeks. anyway, my graduation/birthday party was lame. but at least i got to see everyone, and that was my main priority. afterwards me and a few people went clubbing that was amazing. i'm definetely gunna be going more often..

    yesterday as I was driving around, i witnessed an accident and an almost accident. the accident i witnessed, had to honestly been the stupidest way anyone could get in an accident. the white car drove into the middle lane, and waiting for the blue car to pass. but since the white car was in a rush the blue car hit the bumper of the white car. the white car spun out, and the bumper and all the parts flew. so instead of waiting for another second, and avoiding the ridiculous insurance rates he now has to pay for every little thing that fell off that car. fail.

    i would have been the victim in this next accident. i was getting off the highway onto a ramp, around 12:30ish and out of nowhere the car in front of me pulls over the shoulder. my first thought it must be a cop, except going the wrong direction. [against the traffic of the ramp] but instead guess who it was? a drunk driver. yeah, he was swirving on top of going the wrong direction. obviously, i pulled over to the shoulder too because i'm not going to get hit by this moron.don't drive drunk, i hope that guy got caught. fail.

     

    ps - does anyone like that hoodie sweater vest thing?

    this is a photo that i took from the beach today, i thought it was interesting so why not upload it? i don't really show anyone my photography, so i started considering putting my flickr account to use but i'm not quite sure. anyway, today was the best day of summer so far but the weather was horrible. a group of us decided to go to the state park beach about an hour away from where i am. this place was seriously amazing. even thought it's not your typical palm tree, and crystal clear water beach the overall theme was relaxed. we spent at least 6 hours there, good thing we brought lunch. the burgers were way to greasy for my liking :[  However, today as i was walking along the beach looking at all the couples there and how happy they were it made me realize, why summer exists.

     friends, carelessness, spontaneously running around and enjoying the time together.
