Thinking about rebranding myself in 2k9 [via tatty ink]

I have always wanted to show the world what is inside of me. I want them to know ‘who I am’ and ‘what I am made out of.’ While I often approach this from a ‘personality-based’ perspective, maybe I should start trying to convey to the world what is inside of me (physically). If I can find a tattoo artist/doodler who is willing to tattoo all of my organs+skeletal system on me, then I will be ‘transparent.’ People will know that I am human after all.

2k9 may or may not be all about ‘getting back 2 basics’ 2 find out that ‘we are all the same’ from a biological/anatomical perspective because we don’t want 2 seem like ‘care about’ ‘material things’ like fashion/trends/social status.

My other Rebranding option is getting a tattoo of all of the things I own on my body.

I think the task of tattooing all of my personal belongings on to my body might be tedious. For example, will I still be using a Macbook in 1-10 years? Will I still have my Blackberry Razr? Will I still be ordering pizza from Papa Johns? Will my TV only be a 104 inch flat screen in 2k40? I need 2 figure out how long I plan on being alive, and then predict which products will still be in my life in 2k__. How dumb would I have looked if I had a can of SPARKS tattied on my palm?

If I am scared to get a tattoo because of the ‘pain’, I might just morph into a digital camera. This would make me a CameraBro. I think having the opportunity to be ‘half-human-half-technology’ would be kinda like being a robot, except without ‘losing ur sense of humanity/emotion/feelings that humans experience.’ There are a lot of movies that have robots who ‘want 2 b human bc they can’t feel emotions’, but if I were just 50% camera and 50% bro, I think I could

I still have 2 decide whether I want 2 morph into a Point-And-Shoot Camera or a dSLR. Point-and-shoots are kinda entry level at this point. If I choose to be a dSLR, I think I will have more opportunities to implement other accessories, like flashes and lenses. However, being a point-and-shoot means that I will be really portable, and won’t be a huge douchebag. I just need 2 make sure that I come with a pre-installed way to upload my photos 2 the web [via flickr/photobucket/ tinypic/facebook/cobrasnakeHTMLgenerator/etc.]

What do yall value in a digicam?

Do yall know what I should do to upgrade my personal brand in 2k9?

It’s Fashion Week, Yall!

Should I skip my psychology test this week to focus on blogging [LIVE] from Fashy Week? I read an article from a message board that said that NY Fashy Week had to hire an extra 50 people just to deal with turning down [press requests] from startup internet alternative magazines/blogs/partypixSites/newspapers/zines.

Official Fashion Week Flier

Fashion Week is important because it is where designers let us know what trends will be big in 2-10 years (for rich people). I wish American Appy could get a Fashion Week show, but I was watching ‘the Devil Wears Prada’, and I don’t think those kinds of people like large-scale retail enterprises. :-(

Are yall excited about what fashions will be big in 2k14?

N e ways… I read on a STRIPESONLY blog that Stripes are going to be huge in 2k11.

In the future, all humans will have sillie horsey bags. Wish they had those when I was stuck with a boring Jansport backpack as a kid. :-( I h8 thinking about how limited my personal brand used 2 b.

In the future, every1 will walk around with their arms crossed over their chest to show off their multitude of wrist accessories, particularly their DoucheBaggyLeatherBand & post-metaphorical rings.

In the future will every1 be a deviant twink? I’m scared, yall. :-(
