A short video I put together:

Enjoy the photo’s. As a side note, if you find yourself in one of them, and you would like the image removed for whatever reason, contact me and I will take it down.

Let me preface this post with the following statement:

I am not a fashion-follower, I am not a trendy person, so I do not have the right to make these gross generalizations, and everything following this is my opinion, so don’t criticize my statements. Yes, I may be a hypocrite… but who isn’t?

Jeans: Skinny Black or Piece of Crap

That’s my exact feeling on the current fashion trends in men’s clothing. I have been looking to buy jeans for a few days now, just a decent pair that would fit comfortably, look somewhat decent, and had no extra crap appended to them. For example, I cannot find a pair of low rise boot cut jeans that do not have rips in them, or a crappy fade. I cannot find black jeans that are not loose-fit or skinny-legged. I cannot find a pair of normal, regular, jeans that taper correctly, but don’t suck your leg or hang off of you like a blanket.

What is so wrong with Men’s fashion. Where is the middle ground? The same goes for jackets. The current jacket trend is even more idiotic.

Jackets: Fly like an Eagle or Lie like a Rug

Currently, jackets for men are also in an annoying trend. They are either covered in “feathers” or “fur”, with an aviator style. But they aren’t traditional aviator “bomber” coats, but rather, this weird hybrid of a woman’s fur coat, and a pilot’s bomber jacket. Neither of these trends need to be reenacted. I don’t want to walk around like Indiana Jones with a hankering for mink. I don’t see how trend setters can push this garbage into circulation and actually gain hype. I hate you trend setting bastards for feeding crap like this into the industry. What’s next? Ugg’s for your head? Big puffy Ugg hats that get drawn over your face and around your neck, so you can wear it with a jean skirt and Uggs on your feet?

Secondly, if the coat is not a bomber-fur hybrid, it will be a dark brown, muddy gray, or otherwise “rug” colored coat. Why do I call it “rug”? Because it looks like something you’ve been wiping your feet on all winter long.

Anyhow, enough of my ranting and raving. If you have any fashion issues, let me know, I’d love to complain with you.

I don’t really get this entire idea of blogging. Well, I should rephrase that… I don’t really see the need for it. Everyone seems to have a personal blog for the most part, and then a blog for blogging about things that are work related, and yet another blog for other material. What is this world coming to? In the offline world, do we write stories and then write about writing such stories, while telling someone what we are doing via pen and paper?

There is really no reason for any of this, and yet it is beyond compelling to follow-through and update daily. If people actually read all the blogs in existence, we would be very, very, busy people. I can’t find the statistic, but there was a general count of how many blogs existed, how frequently a blog was created, and how many per-person on average, and much more. I wish I could find that article, because it was fascinating.

What would the internet be like without blogs today? Would we be viewing nothing but video? Audio? Web 1.0 style vBulletin message boards? BBS? Web trends and technology amaze me, and always will. Maybe I am not e-fashionable enough. Should I round the top corners of this page, add some del.icio.us links to every post I create? I need to ramp up the Web 2.0 to compete with the rest of the blogosphere.

I just wanted to let you all know that I really hate Valentines Day. I think that it is one of the worst created holiday’s ever, and should be removed from the American calendar. Not only is it pathetic, and sad, that we “American’s” must prove our love to others on one and only one day. Love is an everlasting thing, and shouldn’t need a day dedicated to showing it. Be a real human and spread love every day, not just today.

I am going against my own beliefs, but only because I want to… and I have spread so much hate. This is hypocrisy in the highest possible level, or maybe the truth?
