SCRUNCHIE ME, GLOBAL YOU

From The Right-Side...

I freely admit that boredom is not my friend.

Routine, to me, is like some sort of enormous bag of designer clothes crushing me from head-to-toe.

Fortunately, The Left-Side and I are simpatico in this area and we mix things up quite a bit, not necessarily cool and hip things, but things WE enjoy.

Goofy?

Oh, definitely.

But, let's step outside the world of Clash 'n Dash (like there is anyone here in the first place), and speak of the world...in a general sense. Is the world having ANY fun? Is the world trying too hard to be cool and part of the global-group?


Every day I am amazed to see how we are moving together, GLOBALLY. It is NOT a good thing. It seems we are becoming the same. Behaving as one. Liking the same things and shunning the same things. Is it so uncool to have your own likes and dislikes, even if the popular kids don't agree?

Evidently, but how very BORING!

When did we become so one-dimensional?

When did our behavior become so lock-step?

I find it appalling and quite scary.

It starts out as an opinion by some ass-hat 'celeb', or other sort...and then it rips through the universe (social media, movies, television, discussions over dinner) like fire in a dry forest.

You want examples of things that have been stabbed through the heart and died or are slowly being choked to a slow death?

*The Scrunchie-Killed by a scene in Sex and the City (see video above). Carrie blathered on about how horrible they were and NO one in Manhattan would wear them to a restaurant.

Yes, I even wore this color.

I wore them. Not to fancy restaurants, but to random daytime places. They looked better than a bare rubber band around a half-assed ponytail. DEAD.

*Waist-Touching-Jeans-DEAD. Killed by Mariah Carey when she sliced the waistband off  hers and exposed her toned middle  (this was when she was real) in a video. Calling non-low-rider denim, MOM jeans is a travesty. What in the hell do they call jeans that settle around the waist of Dads?  You can't answer that, can you?

If you want to wear higher-waisted jeans why should you be slammed? If you want to flash a low-riding camel-toe front...get it done. Why must we all wear the same thing?

*Keurig coffee-Languishing near death. They are trying to kill this, but it is fighting back. I still say Mr. Coffee is behind all this coffee-pod-controversy!

*Your house (especially the kitchen) must look the same as all the others on HGTV, or you are OUT of style!

*Movies-Rotten Tomatoes does a great job of trying to kill movies that may not be exactly intellectually stimulating, and I suppose it has a place if you want someone else to decide your entertainment. Personally, I will decide if I want to watch low-brow humor for grins.

CLASHERS, for the love of all that is INDIVIDUAL, let's move past being sheep (if you have ever been around real sheep, they are cute, but they really do follow each other off cliffs), and stop thinking GLOBALLY. 

Wear a SCRUNCHIE if it feels right...even to a restaurant. Wear HIGH-WASTED JEANS if they are comfy. Use your PODS if you want (you are not polluting the world anymore than the next fellow). Enjoy the movie of YOUR choice, and forget the tomato throwers!

Decorate in YOUR style, even if no one else approves! Who cares what others think? I never have.

The Left-Side and I probably bore the hell out of others (that's their journey), but we try to do what WE like.

Think on, and be your own PACK!

Gotta dash...
