Well, I have all these crazy thoughts and opinions. They drive me nuts. Some days I want to tell someone about what I really feel but I know in doing that, I would be disliked, distrusted and alienated. I have the worst writing form ever. It's not that I'm an uneducated simpleton, I just have so much to convey that I just type. I dont go back and reread so if the form or grammar is horrid, just remember, this is like a thought or an outburst. Think of this a a form of blog turrets. If I say something you don't agree with, are offended by or you just find plain vulgar... my apologizes. I'm sorry you're offended but not for saying whats on my mind for the moment.
Ah well, wha'cha gonna do?
Lets start with
I'm not that old, not far past my teens. I'm not a recluse, I understand and follow trends, fashion and peer pressure but WTF?
What is with all the sheep?
The area I live in is mainly Hispanic and Asian. emo is popular world wide, thanks Japan, but especially in my area. The emo kids don't bother me, I don't know why. I guess because as much as the look the same, they all seem a bit different. Its the other ones, generally but not excluded to Hispanic. Lets start with the guys...the ones with the spiky looking helmet hair. Is there a name for this hair style? It looks like they began to spike it up, then a HUGE gust of wind came and pushed it back. Its funny, it looks like someone water sealed their head. The WAY too big "diamond" cubic zirconia earrings that make their earlobes droop. Its usually tight polo shirts with the collar flipped up or t-shirts, the same ones as some of my gay guy friends wear, kinda trendy, artsy, new wave looking ones. The hats that are 3 times too big for their heads as not to mess up the spiky helmet. They wear ugly swamp meet guy hoodies with designs usually metallic like dollar signs "bling" or fake Vuitton, I think they are suppose to be like Le Tigre, I dont know. The jeans are usually too big. Their sunglasses generally look fem with the fake bling on the rim. They pluck their eyebrows with such precision that they look better than most girls I know but get highly offended when you suggest they might be feminine. They usually run in packs or flocks, much like, sheep. They typically go after the same type of girl and they too drive me crazy. From the feet up...what I consider board shoes, black suede tennis shoes, usually the payless airwalk brand usually without socks. Tight stretch jeans that generally say baby phat or some other swamp meet version of an overpriced ethnic jean, most of the time cuffed. A t-shirt that is way too tight, considering they are a size 2 or 4 if the shirt is too tight that just looks cheap with a padded bra. These are usually again a knock-off of some ethnic brand of clothing or a long tank top that has lace on the bottom. Hoodie jackets that look just as tacky as they guys or puffy, fake fur lined jackets, FUBU knock-offs. They generally have medium long hair which they pull back in a tight ponytail with a thin headband with what I'm guessing is mousse for the tacky wet look. These are usually the same people that TyP3 LiK3 DiS. CmMnT On mY MySp@c3 PiCs. L8t3z. I really just assume you can't spell yo.
Its not a prejudice, I don't have a racial dislike for Hispanic's or any other race. Its a matter of, do people have any idea of who they are or how simple they really look? One of my big pet peeves in life is stereotypes. I can see someone of any race and not assume they do stereotypical things. I don't think all Black people have an attitude, all Asians are bad drivers or all Hispanics are illegal but if you're bobbing your head, being rude with your finger in my face, cutting me off and have no consciousness of it or standing outside of home depot and you are a certain race, don't get mad when I say... and they wonder where stereotypes come from. I myself am Mexican among a few other races. I love my cultures, I hate the stereotypes.
Don't get me wrong, I love payless! I get many of my dressy shoes there, usually on clearance. I have and do go to the swamp meet, I buy clothes from discount clothing stores, hole in the wall places, the thrift store and sometimes I make my own clothes. I'm not knocking getting a bargain, discount or even hand me downs. I think you look cheap wearing knock offs.
To be clear, I have 4 pairs of "chucks" or converse. I also have 4 pair of no name, store brand tennis shoes that look similar to converse. I don't try to tell people they are chucks, they don't have the logo and the markings are even different. I don't care that they aren't name brand, I like the shoes, they're comfortable and the colors are kick ass.
What I am talking about is this...
This is what I see most of, Baby Phat shirts with hanes tags. Why do it? We know its fake. Just save your money and buy a real one or buy the same shirt, without the fake metallic ink and rhinestones. I swear to all thats holy, you're way cuter without the fake crap. I know I'd respect you more. But then again, who am I.
Ah well, wha'cha gonna do?
