    Modern fake lips are ridiculous looking. Christ. People on fashion shows don’t reflect what most people wear/look like.

    But it reflects an urge to be EXTRA ...different.

    Pink hair was once ridiculous. Now its common place.

    Fashion shows change what people were. I mean the materials used. Or the outline.

    I mean if you had shown skinny jeans on men at one point that would be ..ridic ....and they came from the catwalk.

    There are those that don't want to look like everyone else. And when they get it 'just right ' 'like so' ..then everyone else wants to look like them.

    That is the way it works.

    Sandles with socks and crocs are both fashionable at best and inoffensive at worst nowadays. What a reversal in fortunes.

    Board games. Used to be for fighting families at Christmas and relatively easy to pick up and play, now played by adults and with rules that are almost impossible to understand and remember.

    I read a bit of the hobbit ...honestly it seemed like they were in a forest for the entire book and that was it. That was the story.
    If you think that's bad, try reading The Old Man and The Sea.
    It can put you comatose in ten minutes.

    Penney's were selling Ramone's t-shirts worn by young ones who wouldn't be able to name one of their songs, about 15 years ago. I think you're a bit late to the party with the band t-shirts being cool for youths again.

    I found the fact you could buy Metallica tees in Penneys a couple years ago beyond depressing.

    At least us middle aged fat rockers actually know the bands that are on our t-shirts. Was talking to a friends daughter recently.....she's about 19 or so. Commented on her Ramones t-shirt - she hadn't a feckin clue who they were!

    I still have my battle vest and would wear it with pride if there were any gigs to go to.

    In all fairness it’s 127 page in a half size book. Not much longer than 10 minutes to read. I loved it though. As told by Santiago the sentences were short and simple. But that’s the complexity. And that’s what made Hemingway a genius.
