Admittedly, there hasn't been much going on that is worth reporting. I've kind of gotten a little run-down, and need the weekend to catch up on things. I had been focusing a little too much on being hipster, which means I had basically lost touch with the reality that right now my life cannot be solely about connecting with my emotions and exploring the artistic. I will be able to do that one day, but right now is a different story.
In the spirit of diversity and expansion, though, I have created a Tumblr. Someone suggested I do so to earn more "indie cred." I think I'm trying pretty hard to do so and not doing as well as some of my obviously more seasoned friends who are much more acquainted with the world of hipster. It has made me realize that I am not the only one with such "obscure" or "exclusive" tastes--I'm not the only one obsessed with Animal Collective and Alexis Mabille. However, there is still so much of the Alternative music, art, and fashion scene that I have yet to discover. Tumblr really is the hipster's version of Facebook--you post anything you want, but since no one comments or anything, what you're positing is for privately expressing yourself in public view (even though you're secretly dying to know what people think about what you're blogging). I think my next step is to see what everyone is blogging and explore the music/books/artists that they mention. Should provide for some....eye-opening discoveries, I presume.
If you'd like to follow me on Tumblr, the blog is under the same name as this one.
I still have a lot to learn and explore. But right now, I've got schoolwork.
Hasta luego amigos.

I remember what I was going to tell you now. I am currently wearing a sweater/sweatshirt that belonged to my great-grandmother. That's one great. Tomorrow I may wear my fake, thick-rimmed glasses.
ReplyDeleteI hate fake glasses. #1 pet peeve.
