Neck Bandannas

I know, I know. The bandana thing is played out. Kids have been rockin' them for years, but in a style that doesn't make any sense.



Sorry bout' that cheek action but that was the first relevant google image.

I don't get the back pocket bandanna. Skateboarding metalcore cats have been rocking them for years. Is this just the slow evolution from the late 80s/early 90s rocking them right on the head do-rag style? I predict in a few years that these kids will just have a little corner peeking out of their shoe before the whole thing goes extinct.

Anyways, back to the point. I'm for the neck bandanna. Its tight. Spices up a bit of worldly-class to your classic rock and roll jeans and a tshirt look. Throw in some decent shades and 3 days worth of facial hair and you're big time, jack. Take the neck bandana out of that equation and you're just some fucking dude who needs to shave, and possibly get some style tips. Heres a couple:

Red is off limits. Too loud, super whack. Blue and black are the most acceptable colors here. Jeans and a black tshirt is bullshit. Add a neckie and you might get yourself a phone number. Especially if you stop going between staring at the floor and then at a woman. This move doesn't work. Trust me. I know.

I know what you're saying. Classic "scene kid" staple that you associate with garbage like effeminate man-boy action and the Kieth Buckley fan club mosh crew. Too bad Ladyhawk is the antithesis of that, and just have a look at this:



Thats Duffy on the right. Lead singer of one of the best current independent canadian bands of today, Ladyhawk. Check out his neck game. You know that look is ace now. Huge display of the hood-up, neckie action. I rock that game, its tight.

For the ladies, i'll tell you, anything around the neck is super hot. A little silk scarf tied in a knot and pushed ever-so-slightly over to the side has me out ring shopping every time. Y'alls can get away with a ton more colors, fabrics, and styles too. And if you're not half asleep you can close up an immaculate coordination on your outfit game by tying one single knot. Grab yourself a couple of little silk neckies and knock em dead with your matching retro earrings and ultra-cute cork wedges with a bow.

i'm tellin ya.

Actual Event

Some Dude at Work: Guy, where did you get those jeans? They're so siiiiick[sic]!

Me: Uhhhh...they are tattered old levis i got second hand years ago, obviously. They're fraying and ripping all over the place and one of the back pockets is missing.

Dude: Oh so you didn't buy them like that?

Me: Uhhh....no, they're old, and i can't really afford pants.

Dude: (with an air of dissapointment)Oh...nevermind then.


This is 100% true. Apparently my ratty old hand-me-downs would be totally in if it wasn't for the little problem of them being totally authentic. This says a great deal about the current world we live in.

EDIT: Upon taking 1 minute to actually look this up, rather than make it up in my head, i have now found the real facts on the happy days situation.


Phrase: Jump The Shark.

I just find it so mind-numbingly cool. A common english phrase plucked from 20th century popular culture used to describe something as past its peak, or prime. It was born when Arthur Fonzarelli (Happy Days) actually jumped a shark on water skis in a bizzare effort to boost Happy Days ratings. It didn't really work, as ratings for the show plummetted and voila! A phrase was born. The problem is, Happy Days ratings continued to rise, and the show stayed on the air until 84 (6 years after the shark jump). So its not real. The reference actually would mean the opposite, but I like the way it ended up better because its negative, which you know, is totally hot right now. It also just feels really awesome to say, probably because the word shark is involved. Its almost as cool as my new band name, Sharkitect.

Foodstuff: Frozen Fruit.

Take some frozen berries and throw em' in a blender with some juice and a dollop of yogurt or sorbet, and you've got yourself a smoothie. Add 8 ounces of grey goose and you've got yourself a party. Substitute the juice with redbull and you've got yourself a breakfast (grey goose still optional).

Record: Black Keys - Attack and Release.

No transcendent sardonic wit here, this is just a great release from a great band.

Sometimes, i wish...

Sometimes i wish i could live in a world where i could be afforded the luxury of arguing with people that think twitter is stupid, rather than people who just don't have any idea what it is.

I guess its exciting for me because i don't do facebook.

Of all the things i blurt out randomly that i will never do, why is that the only one i ever have or ever will stick to?

I guess my subconscious knows what its capable of, where as my conscious mind barely knows what it looks like.

Apparently, I just went commersh

Look whos name dropping me.

ZNAIMMMERRRRR!

Strange times are here to stay!
