WHAT A BUNCH OF SQUARES!

I want you to take a brief intermission from this post, and check your closet. If your anything like me, upon opening your closet, you were greeted with the soothing site of colorful t-shirts, solid and simple sweaters, as well as neutral and or earth-toned outerwear items. However, being the trendy guy I pride myself in being, im almost ashamed to admit that I dont own a single piece of shadow plaid clothing. Frankly, it's embarassing. In case you dont know excatly what shadow plaid is, its a subtle plaid pattern of black, grey, and white, and also happens to be a fashiobn must. Now that you know, go out and buy in the highest quantity humanly possible.

DECISIONS...DECISIONS

I intend to compose a music CD for my Kite Runner project. I chose this project because I was able to almost isntantly apply numerous songs to the different scenarios throughtout the book, therefore this project should be fairly easy.

Cyber Monday: calm, cool, and collective

This year, I refused to fall victim to Black Friday’s alluring advances. Don’t get me wrong, she was aesthetically appealing: wearing the Black Rinse Denim Levis Trucker of my dreams, Alternative Apparel Over-Dyed Rocky Zip-Up Hoodie I always wanted, and the pair of navy blue Vans Chukka Buckle-Backs I had every intention of buying. But that was the problem, she was too beautiful. Millions of men AND women from all over America would stand in lines stretched for miles just to catch one glimpse of her, but not me, not this year. Instead, I found a new woman of interest, and her name is Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday is just as beautiful as Black Friday, only difference is Cyber Monday is much cleaner, less troublesome, technology savvy, and solely focused on me.
