You think so? Go ahead and psychoanalyze meI think that death is one of the most fascintating topics possible. I mean, really, it's always original. It's always a onetime limited engagement, and (depending on your theology) it's either the defining moment of existence or the final corporeal sensation in the universe's most remarkable coincidence. How can anyone not be consumed by that?! Fuck, I could talk about this forever![]()
the universe's most remarkable coincidence? that's a romantic way of referring to it, and somewhat anthropocentric

Um, the daily drawings were sort of a new years resolution attempt to stimulate my creativity and shit. Also, I often go through phases where I don't draw at ALL simply because I'm too busy and lazy, so I was trying to prevent that as well
No, no. I really don't roll in high circles.
In the "general chat" section I suppose that I am prone to hyperbole and at times really can be full of guff, but generally outside of there I'm pretty genuine, I would say.
I guess that the events that I attend are simply associated with my location in the country, some of the people I know and the subject that I do - it's pretty middle-class comparably.
Last week was rather busy - the lounge suit has taken a bit of a battering. I don't really like lounge suits though; they're an uncomfortable compromise, I would much rather just be casual or go the whole hog and don evening wear. <_< Morning dress though.

I probably am a bit of a "toff", in truth (maybe 'wannabe "toff"'; I'm kind of on the cusp - looking critically, I fulfill the stereotype, to an extent, but lack the public school background).

In my experience, resolutions are good but rarely last beyong January.
You're doing well if you're still going in March.
Maybe its the difference in vernacular, or maybe its because I just woke up... But anyway, I'll try and reply
All of those social events did sound pretty upperclass because, seriously, what the hell is a lounge suit
Yeah, don't think too highly of me, though. I had another failed resolution not to eat McDonalds, which was completely unrealistic considering that I work there 3-4 times a week
But, in my defence, I don't eat a lot of McDs. I can't really, considering that I'm veg and my mother is a nutrionist <_<







Good post! ![]()

Funny commercials
All I eat are vegetables and fruits
that's good (Y) I feel like I eat too little vegetables
Oh wait, today I haven't eaten any fruit, too :|
Have you seen new Lacoste ads? The ones by Terry? I thought they were going to be REALLY different than previous ones.
But they are just "normal and happy"

oh, you know what? Everytime this week when I shop in this little market close to my place, they had Lady Gaga's "Poker face", like, almost always

Is there anything you would like me to clarify?
By lounge suit, I pretty much mean "suit". A dinner suit (evening wear; black tie) is more like one of your "tuxedos" (I really quite detest that word
). Rarely one gets to wear white tie, which is really rather swish.
A "toff" is someone who is rather posh or upper-class, it comes from the phrase "toffee-nosed". ![]()
To be honest, any person who manages to take a resolution past January commands some kind of respect, in my book at least.

How do you reconcile working at McDonald's and being a vegeterian, by the way? Have you always been a vegetarian? ![]()

Impressive drawings again. I love the 1st, 2nd and 5th in particular.
You clearly put alot of work into them!

^ Thanks
But I have to say, the 3rd is my favourite. I love Egon Schiele!
Maybe next year!Thank you for the birthday wishes! If I had known of your daily art-project I'd have commissioned a piece to mark the day...![]()

Yeah, I've seen the new ads. I agree with you, they're still very Lacoste
I went into American Apparell the other day, and Terry shoots their ads. Anyway, the guy I was with was like "I feel so uncomfortable in this store! These ads look like child porn." And I thought that it was so bizarre for him to say that! I mean, the ads seemed so softcore to me! Maybe I've just become desensitized because I've seen Terry's most hardcore semi-pornographic work.
I have such a high tolerence for explicit material, it's ridiculous
Oh god, could you imagine working at that market and just hearing Poker Face all day long? :|

You've pretty much clarified all that I didn't get. I was also just half-asleep, because now I'm reading the post and it generally makes sense. Its funny that the term "toff" comes from "toffee-nosed" Its always interesting to learn the roots of common sayings.To be honest, I only understood, like, 70% of this post![]()

Resolutions are really difficult to keep :|
Something that I found to be so interesting: In January, we were totally dead at work! Sales went down and it felt like we had no customers. All because of New Years Resolutions. But, of course, everything is back to normal now and we're constantly busy because people broke their resolutions.
Weird how we can see the effects of New Years Resolutions on the fast food industry, eh?
This post is probably going to get very long, now
I can justify working at McD's and being veg because I don't consume the products. Sure, I give the burgers to customers, but they would get them anyway. If I do think about it, I realize that McD's is responsible for the death of millions of animals and that should make me feel bad, but it doesn't. Supermarkets and clothing stores are also responsible. Everyone is responisible. No matter what, animals are going to die in mass amounts because people are always going to consume them. I'm not delusional and I know that I'm not going to impact any aspect of animal husbandry by choosing not to eat meat or work at McDonalds because I'm just one person. I work at McDonalds because it's the only place that will hire a 15 year old (where I live, anyway) and I choose not to eat meat simply because I love animals too much. I'm not trying to change the world or anything, but I believe that I make a lot of effort to help animals in my life and I don't think that I'm directly resposible for hurting them by working at McDanks.
I've been a vegetarian all my life because my mom is actually a vegan nutritionist and I was raised by her so she never fed me meat. I'm not vegan, though, because I have consumed dairy products (I love cheesecake, I'm sorry.) I could have unintentionally eaten something with meat in it, but not that I'm aware of. My grandmother tried to sneak meat into my meals numerous times (she finds it tragic that her hippie of a daughter refuses to give it to us) but I can always tell. I'm also not too anal about stuff like cross-contamination, either. I can sit at a table with anyone who is eating meat and I don't look down on carnivores at all. I try very hard not to push my beliefs onto other people.
That said, I do think that vegetarians are better and I will shit on anyone who eats KFC. ![]()

What I ate yesterday was: semlina with milk and tea in the morning, at school 2 sandwiches with cheese and multivitamin juice, buckwheat and fruit juice, some chocolates...and...and....I can't remember, maybe nothing more :| But I ate my dinner around 6:30 PM, so.... And after midnight, I was dancing :|
to the music video and watched some concerts on MTV Hits a bit.
I haven't seen AA ads, but I heard such comments as: they look like child porn before. But, your friend probably haven't seen Terry's s/s 2008 for Tom Ford
esp. fragrance ones :|
If you have such tolerance...hmm....check new/not new eds from Self Service magazine. I think in either their s/s 2009 or f/w 2008 there is a photoshoot with Lydia Hearst....well, Terry works a lot for SS.....SS had also this hot ed with Natasha Poly in their s/s 2008 issue. It really is :shock: how can such skinny girl be so sexy
but it was by Alasdair something
talking about nudity&controversy in photography, you should also check "Nunhead" editorial from POP f/w 2008 (with Magdalena, Jourdan etc.).
:| yeah
but I remember you saying some time ago here "Hot'n'cold" is played at your work around 3 times an hour!

By the way, glad to hear you don't look down on us carnivores. Here in Argentina we have the highest consumption of beef per capita in the world. Mmmm two steaks a day!!!

smoking is hot ![]()

^ Really?
I must confess, I love the smell of smoke more than anything in the world
Particularly cigarette smoke.
Everyone thinks its disgusting, but if I say "You smell like smoke" to someone I usually shuffle closer to them
HOLY SHIT
She looks so hot

I've actually shown my friend Terry World before, so he's definitely been exposed to hardcore work by Terry
Hes just not as used to it
I'll check out all of those shoots later. Probably tomorrow. Because I'm quite busy at the moment
You have a spectacular memory for these sort of things :| I used to be like that, but I fell off the fashion bandwagon about a year ago when I went away for dance
Maybe I'll get back into it during the summer
Hopefully

Sounds like you've thought things through vegeterianism-wise.
(Sorry, that question probably came across as a bit 'pointed'.
) Have you been working there for long now or are you still relatively new? You find it alright then?
