Thoughts and such

Tuesday, January 03, 2006

Who is Bob, Part I. This is the first section of hopefully many sections. In each section, I will choose a trait of mine, or a skill, or a habit, and give some background about it. Sound fun? Alright then. For my first part, I'll share about my lack of concern for other people's opinions of me. First off, you're thinking, wow, this kid is original, and he uses a lot of comma's, anyways, you're likely thinking that this very first statement is a plea for attention. Not so, I managed to get along my first year of High School just fine without attention, admitidly I do enjoy attention, it isn't necessary. So, if you deem it necessary to ignore me for a short while after reading this, that's your choice. Now, having a lack of concern for other people's opinions is hardly ever a good thing, but is quite commonly a bad thing. First off, it is difficult to get anywhere in this world while completely ignoring everyone in it. Which brings me to my first exception, people whom I genuinely care for's opinions DO mean something to me. My thing is, that I feel no need to impress a complete stranger. I don't get the same sick satisfaction that quite a few do, from seeing that everyone likes me. Would it be nice if they did? Yeah. But I don't think I need to make any adjustment to myself to make things that way. Now, examples to prove my point. Keep in mind, I don't do these just for the result that you all see. First off, the music I listen to. Most of you probably know that I listen to Metal and Classic rock. Now, why would someone as mild as me do something like this? Because it is enjoyable to my mind and my ears. Few things get me going like a killer guitar riff, or a high-pitched voice yelling about the man putting him down with a dominating drum beat behind it. Secondly, my clothes. Now, some of you know that I wear the same shirts quite often. Once a week being quite often. If it's clean, why not wear it? I mean, come on. This falls under one of those things were people sometimes get taken aback by it, just because I enjoy wearing the same shirts. If you ever think one of my shirts is dirty, then come right up and sniff me. Being a larger person, I sweat more than others, so if the shirt is being re-used before it has been washed, you'll know. Side note (I don't just randomly sweat mind you, I do have five dogs to take care of, and other chores around the house.) Back to clothes. Have you ever seen me walking around in a "Name brand" shirt? No! I don't and likely never will, see brand names as a fashion statement. I wear T-shirts, and something nice over it. (Wearing two shirts is the best way to dress, allowing for you to make the most out of your outfit in diverse weather and possibly stain situations.) Alright, I think I got my point across. Now it's time for your input. What could be the negative aspects of this lifestyle choice? Go ahead and leave a comment. Don't be afraid, you can do it. Come on. Leave a comment. I know you can do it. I really do. Just type something constructive, and hit enter. There ya go! Nice work.

  • You do use A LOT of commas, most of which are unneccassary, but that is beside the point. My philosphy on clothes is the same as yours. Why wear name brand when, say, Sears clothes are of the same quality and mor comfortable. Plus, the places where I get my jeans don't have rips in them. I believe in getting more denim for the dollar.
