Oy, my thoughts on cold weather. It just plain stinks. It just freakin sucks. ((Why in the hell did they remake Stephen King's Carrie?)) Wait a second, let's go there.
Is there no orginality left? Can we come up with nothing new? Why the hell is it that everything we see these days is a remake, or based off a book, or a cover song, or a song that sampled some one else's song...and even when they think they've made something new it ends up being something that's been done before.
I have a goal. To create something new in my life. Something no one else has done before. I think it'll take awhile, but I suspect it can be done.
Dont get me wrong, I dont hate all remakes and so forth. I rather enjoy some, every once in awhile it's done a little better than the first time. But when it comes down to it, what can be better than an original? I spose it doesnt help that one of the "rules" in art and entertainment is that it's okay to "steal" from parts of other people's works. I agree with this to an extent. Sometimes someone have a brilliant idea that ends up fitting into other people's ideas.
Lets move on to individuality. Am I the only one who's noticed that being an "individual" these days has almost become a fad? So, in a way, being an individual is almost a remake, a stolen idea, something someone else has done before. Take that little punk rawk kid down the street who's fighting for their right to party, to be free, to be an individual, to be different from everyone else. But down the block is another punk rawk kid who's feeling the same way. They have the same interests and the same clothes, music and tastes. OF COURSE there are things that set them apart from each other but the bottom line is, there's always some one else that feels the same way.
All I want to know is, how do we do it people? How do we set ourselves apart from the rest? Have you been successful in doing so?
We're all guilty of this, liking someone else's idea or way of handling something....and then we use it our selves. I think it should be clear that I dont think there is anything terribly wrong with this at all. We're all culprits. Ive done it myself. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.
I hear kids using the words "poser" and "follower"...words that were around when I was a teenager. How can you not be? How can you be completely different? How can you not look like someone else every now and then?
Yeah, so it's cold out, and I dont like it. It makes me uncomfortable and then I bundle up in layers and end up sweating when I get into the subway. It burns my face when I walk and stings my ears when they're exposed. Cold weather sucks.
*oink*
