Style

How does one achive stlye? How is something stylish? What is stylish? I think about these questions frequently. I love how people look and act, but hate it too because it gets me thinking. But luckily I don't stop thinking. Today I was at the Navy Exchange here in Norfolk, VA and there was a sunglass store and since I need and have needed sunglasses for a long time, I started browsing. This happens when I pass one of these stores or booths and never ends well. It usually involves me looking and my Mom suggesting what I think are ugly pairs. So I'll end up grabbing a 5.99 pair and hoping I like them later. Never happens. They are always cheap cheap material so they scratch and break real easy. Today, I spent about 20 minutes at this place, at first with just my Mom, then with my sister and her husband, then my brother jumped in. I like aviators, I'm not going to lie, they look cool on 'most' people. But I don't want to look like most people. I want to look like Martin, cool Martin. Yeah yeah yeah I sound like an idiot saying it like that, but it's the truth. Aviators have a feel, and I know the feel was about 4 years or more ago with Johnny Knoxville and Ashton Kutchler, but so what. Whats the next style? There were a boat load of shades that looked like the DBag driving down the freeway would wear and I definatley don't want those kind. So I found a pair that were sudo aviators and was about to get them and my mom goes, do you need these? I got close to a nervous breakdown and just had to get out of there, so I kind of bolted for the exit and was very stressed out after wasting 20 minutes and getting nothing.

After that extravaganza, we drove to virginia beach, think laguna beach but replace 75% of the people with ugly tourists. While driving and walking around I scoped out people's shades and styles. I had a thought that it would be interesting to go live in some stylish place like this one on the beach and just find the style. I think if you put yourself to it, you could write up a summary of most place's style. You would have to take in consideration what is unique and what is copied from other styles. It'd be a big task, but doable.

What I have learned from simple observation is that I don't have the right hair color for they 'style' I want. I would need brown hair. But I don't have brown hair. Hhmm, what a predicament. After thinking about all this nonsense, I usually just give up and accept me for what I am, and then realize that I'm smarter than most of the 'stylish' people. I hope I am at least.
yeah, I have some self image issues. But not really. It's hard to explain something you don't understand. I just work, and I know that so it gets me by.
