things i think

here are a few things i think about life the universe popular culture and fashion

i promise i won't be a downer this post

  1. Usb stick memory card do-dads can be a fashionable accessory when worn right
  2. a comfortable couch that you can sleep on is very very valuable
  3. Jonathan Adler is a genius . . . i can't afford anything he makes but he is a genius
  4. spending a night drinking and reading tarot cards is fun
  5. finding the perfect combo of incense is important
  6. you should never smoke so much pot that you can't get stoned from two joints
  7. cool little tchotchkes, empty airplane bottles and funky little things are awesome to have and to look at especially when placed on shelves in front of books or dvd
  8. down loading music is tacky unless you can help it buy the hole CD you get the cool insert sleeve and the correct songs
  9. making your own art weather it be painting music or writing is so so so important even if its not good (remember your mum will like any thing you do as long as its not too disturbing)
  10. your family is not just the people you're related to
  11. there is no such thing as the 'spelling police' ... its ok to make mistakes
  12. you should fall in love ever opportunity you get
  13. not having pictures and things on your walls denotes a lack of courage, inspiration and imagination (and i don't mean family photos i mean movie posters and maps and inspiring pictures, lists, old scratched CD(that catch light and are kind sweet) )
  14. buy random things from Ebay they should be things you've allway wanted or think are cool
  15. cool rings (for your fingers) are cool
  16. every one should keep a scrap book of cool and inspiring pictures
  17. post-it notes are so handy especially when combined with a mirror theres nothing better than fixing your hair and being able to jot down an important thought
  18. never buy shampoo or conditioner that smells to strongly cos you can give your self a headache
  19. classic movies are classic for a reason don't be so dense as to think that just because its in black and white or 90% of the actors in the movie died of old age the movie isn't good
  20. create your own style of dress because no one wants to see thirty guys wearing the same exact clothes (also fluro clothing is ugly)
  21. be a lone wolf instead of a sheep
  22. don't believe in anything that can't be seen unless it's at least 5 thousand years old
  23. anime is cool people who say it isn't have other A: never seen it B: have preconceived misconceptions or C: are douche bags
  24. your sexual preference has nothing to do with your fashion sense or style
  25. once upon a time people dressed up to go to the cinema its a shame to see people go super casually (i personally all ways dress a little up)
  26. sex is fun don't wait to do it but when you do do it do it safely
  27. don't just read what every one else is reading this makes for boring conversation read something none of your friends have read before (and just because you read all the twilight books dose not make you a Rhodes scholar of literature )
  28. don't let your friends decide what your favourite things are
  29. listen to as many different types of music as you can you can find something you like in every genre
  30. don't be afriaid
  31. a friend once said she wouldn't watch a tv show because too many people watch it .... that's silly and stupid don't do that
  32. being a movie buff means you watch and own movies of all genres if you refuse to watch certain movies then your NOT a movie buff/ movie aficionado or movie critic you are a movie watcher
  33. not playing or watching sports is just fine (you don't have to exercise just because everyone else dose the gym is a cult)
  34. just because you've been to university and you have a degree doesn't mean you can gloat (gloating and lauding your degree over others makes you seem petty and like a loser and it will cost you friends and loved ones)
  35. feminism is about equal rights not men bashing (women who claim that women are better than men are do more harm than good )
  36. religion is a private and personal thing don't try to convert others imagine how you would feel if someone tried to convert you (and don't try to convert people if you don't know about there religion or enough about your own)
  37. Shakespeare retellings are a great way for new audiences to see great work (this goes for any classic retelling)
  38. signing a petition will take 2 minuets out of your life and might help someone in need its the least you can do
  39. don't be scared of who you are ('what you are is defined entirely by who you are' by Tony Kushner - paraphrased)
  40. write a blog (and read other peoples)

these are my opinions and are subject to change by me alone they are right in my view and you can do a thing about it
