"real, raw emotions felt over sports you're not actually playing" This one has always annoyed me. Even if you are playing, it's just a game. A GAME. Unless you're in the fucking Olympics or other type of world championship type competition, chill the fuck out. Fat sloppy dudes who scream at people for blocking their view of the football game need to die.
I will have to disagree with some of them:
1. Hats (I have to say, I've always loved them, even though I nearly never wear them. Gangster movies, just looks too classy and cool.).
2. Emotions about sport (sometimes, they involve way more than sport itself, therefore the emotion xD)
3. Loved Inception
4. I don't smoke cigarretes but Hooka's and shishas (would qualify as complex smoking devices, I guess), do have a something, taste and feeling.
5. Piercings, as long as wisely chosen and discrete.
6. I loved las vegas: but the reason is quite a long story, though.
For the rest of them, I strongly agree with most of them. I guess, if we all agreed, the world would be very, very, boring.
Nice talking to you in the half-fake mexican restaurant tonight. Talk to you when I get back to NY :)!
P.D: I hate topic parties.
What the fuck, why was this girl's account on. I am not veronika, I am frankie - -'!
Veronika,
Whoever you are, you have terrible taste.
Gangster movies are lame. Hats -- unless practical -- are lame. Hookahs are also lame, especially when it's not part of your culture to smoke them (read, annoying white folks going to hookah bars to "experience the other")...lame.
Great argumentation, saying something is lame, just because.You made your point in a very clear and spectacular way. Now, apparently, things have to be from your culture to do them.
I think it's pretty obvious that this entire post can be summed up by saying, "Posers are dealbreakers." BUT, it's much more fun reading about all the stupid poser shit that goes on around town. For example, smoking hookahs. Yes, it's lame when posers do it. Try it once, maybe twice for the novelty? Ok. No need to make it a habit, though.
Thanks so much for sharing this post so far
