Yall. Just saw this blipster wearing a necklace with a Game Boy on it. I wasn’t born when these gadgets were around, but I know that they were a pretty big deal. Kinda weird when people apply the whole ‘vintage’ mindset 2 technology. U assume that things ‘continue 2 get better’, but some people prefer aesthetics from the past. Kinda weird.

What portable gaming device would u use as a necklace?
a) PSP
b) Nintendo DS
c) Gameboy
d) Gameboy colour
e) Game Gear
f) blue Game Gear
g) Portable DVD player
h) Tamagachis
i) an iPhone with no music or service, but just games
j) a Super Nintendo tied around ur neck
k) a Wii controller
l) the band ‘the Ataris’
m) Choose.Your.Own.Response

Hope that the increased demand for these old machines doesn’t make the price go up. Need 2 get a good deal on ebay.

Is there a difference between a girl who u want ‘2 hook up with’ versus a ‘girl who u want to spend the rest of ur life with?’ Feels kinda weird how I feel like some girls ‘aren’t worth’ ‘taking home 2 meet ur parents’ because ur parents would be like ‘who is that skank’/'who is that altbro?’ I am not sure what type of relationship u have with ur parents. Maybe u like to ’shock them’ by ‘telling them that u r in love with pieces of garbage’?

Or do ur parents ‘worry about u getting some1 pregnant’? Or do ur parents ‘worry that u’ll get married too young and end up getting divorced, just like them’? Do u ‘take pride’ in ur significant others? Do u feel like when u tell ur parents that u r ‘dating some1′ that they respect u ‘more’, and say ‘my lil kid has grown up–what a beautiful soul’? Do u have parents who ‘get’ u, and ‘love 2 bond’ with ur significant others because they can stop focusing on their failed marriage and start bonding through you + your significant other?

Just trying 2 find the best qualities in a woman. Want some1 who wouldn’t mind pushing a dual-core ergonomic stroller through a public space with me. Want some1 who will ‘love me 4 me.’ Want some1 who ‘won’t start 2 focus on the kids’ after they are born, and keep the attention on me.

It’s hard yall. Not even sure if I am ‘looking 4 love’ or just ‘looking 2 cum.’ Hard 2 know the difference between the two. Feel like most girls who I would meet aren’t ’special’ because they are usually just ‘the last skanks standing’ at a weekly alternative club event. H8 how some ‘relationships’ feel like ur just ‘getting off’ with some1 until both of u ‘find some1 who is closer 2 what u actually want/what u think u deserve.’

Not sure if I am ‘happy with myself’ so I don’t know if I would every think some1 else is good enough. Guess I just wanna have kids so that my ‘perspective on life’ will change completely. Just wanna be a cool dad and raise a kid in an upper-middle class alternative life.

What do u want out of a relationship?

Think I just want some1 who will ’sit on a laptop with me all night’ and ‘make snarky commentary about a hit television show/reality show’ that people in our demographic are ’supposed 2 watch’.

‘poop’ humor: big on HRO in 2k9.5? Or will I just stick with ‘racist post-post-satire’ that ‘goes 2 far’? [via fearing AZNs]

I saw this bro, and I think he is a ‘human metaphor.’ I think he is sort of like a cartoon character that is supposed to help us think about racial issues. While his skin is black, he has created an environment where we mostly see white.

There is also a symbol on his sweatshirt which represents ‘the white man.’ I think it is probably another metaphor about ’something racial’ like slavery, colonial rule, and the white man’s adoption of hiphop culture. Sometimes yall need 2 do more to think about the power of imagery. Fashion is more than just ‘trying 2 look cool.’ Fashion is an opportunity to celebrate culture, comment on history, and make other people think, kind of like a progressive freshman English class with a teach with a passionate, liberal-minded teacher.

What do yall think this metaphor means?

Photo by The Cobrasnake

Think it has 2 do with Colonial America, and how black people were slaves, therefore the flag should be only black and white since there were no other races in America yet, and since society was ‘upside down’ the flag should be too.

How would u explain this metaphor? Is Michael Jackson a 60 year ‘performance art piece’ kind of like that zany Joaquin Phoenix bro?

When I was young, I thought I wanted to be an astronaut/fireman/ professional athlete / doctor / lawyer / investment banker, but now I realize that there’s more to life than just ‘having a title that people respect.’ U should want more than just money + status in a local community. U need international alternative internet fame. U need 2 be seen + be relevant. U need 2 ‘look prettie’ and participate in a more personal version of ‘the paparazzi.’

Just because there aren’t tagging features on most party pix sites doesn’t mean they are worthless. Party pix sites are more authentic than facebook and flickr because you have 2 work harder to ‘be a community.’ When u r on a party pic site, u r part of something bigger than urself.

Be proud 2 be seen, yall.
Be proud of who yall are.
Be proud of ur wardrobe.
Be proud that u ‘get’ the world.
Be proud that u attend relevant events.
Be proud that u ‘get’ that u will be on a party pix site, then make a tshirt abt it[via graphic design], show up on another street fashion blog, then get blogged about by some 3rd altBlog. ( u r a meme. )

I was watching ‘the game’ at my local pub/bar/bar & grill/grill & bar/wingery/Chili’s, and I made a huge mess all over myself. I got a variety of different wing sauces/dipping sauces in an attempt 2 express myself. Kinda sucked when it dripped all over my Palestinian scarf, AmAppy hoodie, and my prepubescent chest hairs [via my Am Appy v-neck].

In the future, I’ll bring a custom rib bib to where ever I eat. Each bib will always match my outfit. Just glad to know that it’s alright 2 eat again. I want to find some classy rib bibs that might be convertible into Electro War armor. I h8 it when people try to stab me through the heart with electro Lightning bolts.

SRSLY tho…should I buy a rib bib/buy an AZN?

s00 excited about winter. I remember in my post about Pea Coats, I blggd abt how winter gives you the opportunity 2 express urself in a way that u can’t for 75% of the year. SRSLY though… not even sure what the thingies on this guy’s sweater even are. Just know that they are phallic symbols (A.K.A. “peen-shaped symbols”).

I hope this winter isn’t too much about cryptic symbols on popular clothing items. I’m not sure if I’m ready to move beyond solids & stripes into a more abstract space. Just feel like those represent my personal brand really well without ’saying 2 much.’

SRSLY tho…what’s on his sweater, yall?
Power Tools? Art Supplies? A makeup kit? Electric toothbrushes? Non-Crayola magic markers?

Yall. Don’t u hate how the Earth is getting hotter and the ice caps are melting more water into the ocean? Wonder if Spring Break will even happen if the beaches are flooded. It’s interesting how designers are meeting challenges of the future by providing ventilation within our clothing. Hopefully AmAppy/UrbOutfitties manages to integrate ventilation into their 2k10 fashion lines. It’s gonna be ‘hella hot’ when 2k10 comes around. Defs gonna suck pretty hard, but I’m confident that our designer-saturated workforce will come in handy by then. Everything will work out, yall. Have a lil faith.

Is ‘globy warmy’ ruining everything, or ‘helping us 2 think abt stuff with a critical mind? (kinda like a progressive high school history teacher)

It’s getting so hard to have a unique personal brand. I’m willing to go to great lengths to fit in, but I don’t know if I am dedicated enough to wear a pleather corset & get a progressive anime-haircut. :-(
Times r changing. Am I getting older? Do kids in suburbia wear corsets? All I ever wanted 2 do wuz 2 b authentic.

BUT SRSLY YALL…
Aren’t yall glad that we get to live wirelessly? I would hate for my body not 2 have wireless capabilities.

[Photo by Facehunty]
I can’t even imagine life before wireless internet when we had to be plugged into a wall, and it wasn’t even that fast! But now I’m so spoiled. I am as free as my Mac Lappy. I can basically go n e where in the world, since there is a 3G wireless network of natural & social resources that allow me to ‘disconnect from the machine.’ Kind of reminds me of the move The Matrices starring Keanu Reeves, which I only watch because of the epic rave scene!

However, I was thinking of going 2 a thrift store to buy this retro iBook. What do yall think? Is it authentic to ‘utilize retro technology’?

Should I get GPS installed on my vespa?

WHO AM I and/or WHAT DO I BELIEVE IN?

Sometimes I wonder how Kanye West stays ’s00 innovative.’ Maybe it’s because he is lumped into a genre(hiphop) that has stayed the same for the past 40 years, s0 it’s easier to be regarded as ‘innovative’ when ever 1 else sings about ‘butts’, ‘thongs’, ‘the act of getting women pregnant’ and ‘cumming on tits.’ But Kanye can still do that a little bit, but also throw in some ‘deep social commentary’ that is accessible to white people who drive midsized sedans.

Kanye West isn’t a good rapper, producer, music video director, lyricist, designer, aesthetic replicator, coolhunting blogger, innovator, or ‘quirky clothes wear-er.’ Just sayin’, yall. He is just another ‘internet meme,’ like the Radioheads or that pregnant downsyndrome vice president lady.
