I didn't read that last night and I wish I didn't scroll for the second time so didn't find my name on your post.
Wthell are you talking about? ^^
Just like you and everybody else: I have things that excite me wholeheartedly and some just on the surface. Wthell you label me as an absolute mainstream? Do you know how I've been shaped and my personal life? No,right? So shut it!!

I do not care about you, I only write about what you write

I dont care about you either. I just want you to STOP cussing my name with your 'lame' car in your parade!

I just attended a wedding yesterday and could not eat or drink a single thing due to my ulcer. I know people still think that stress causes ulcers but the real answer is: alcohol + aspirin = ulcer.

That realization threw me into despair and made me reevaluate a lot of what is going on in my life. I'm not happy with most of my so called friends. I really don't like my job despite it paying well. I'm still hopefully single. I know I'm not "clinically depressed" but I just don't feel satisfied with anything around me. I would have thought Orlando would have brightened my mood as a break from "Boston" but it only made me realize the things I hate about where I am. I am sure a change of scenery would be nice but I need that motivator to pack up and move: something, anything.

That'll definitely do it. I pretty much have to take aspirin or related products with food nowadays, precisely because of my tendency towards reflux and ulcers. Alcohol, or at least, hard liquor, is just stomach lining rape no matter when I do it. Can literally feel the burning as soon as that first shot of vodka is in.

No shade Max but... I believe you when you say you're unhappy with most everybody and most everything around you in your life, because that's fairly consistently reflected in your posts. But if that's the case, do you really think it's just a case of whether you're living in a city named this or a city named that?

In other words..:

C'est au repos d'esprit que nous aspirons tous;
Mais ce repos heureux se doit chercher en nous.
Un fou rempli d'erreurs, que le trouble accompagne,
Et malade à la ville ainsi qu'à la campagne,
En vain monte à cheval pour tromper son ennui :
Le chagrin monte en croupe, et galope avec lui.

In other words:

Do I? I have no idea. I wish I could justify my "mood" with SAD but I doubt that's the case either. Maybe it's the feeling of being trapped on a mobius strip and it having sucked all the life out of me. Even the day before I left Orlando, I was drinking with two friends at a bar and just completely bored with the whole situation, I got up and walked out without saying anything. I know that was very atypical of me but I wish I knew the "why".

Without knowing any specifics, and operating only from the fact that you report this kind of sensation and reaction towards the people in your life very frequently, I can say it has to be one of two things. Either you are not interacting with the right kind of people for you to be around, or your expectations of everyone else is too high and so you are constantly feeling frustrated putting up with behavior from people that is normal but below what you think it should be.

Not sure which it is, though. I don't know any of the people you hang out with.

The reason why I became so cranky and lonely is precisely because I feel exactly like that in my late teens, early twenties.
You don't seem like the sort of person who would just be happy to be drafted by the current along with the other borgs, but that is not enough if you haven't the impulse of to lead your life in another direction, even if it is not very definite at first, deriving from an aspiration, an interest in something that may develop in a life of your own, not something to just be hanging from the borg wagon. You have more life and talents than others around you, but right now you seem to be lacking the one to develop them.

You sure have been taking a lot of pot shots at the Borg lately.

They are so easy to mess around with

Brave words. I've heard them before, from thousands of species across thousands of worlds, since long before you were created, but now, they are all Borg.

He's just mad because he received the same components as every other drone. He thought he was going to get a designer, fashion-forward optical implant.

Perhaps he could use a little... feeling... in that cold exterior of his.

Brave words. I have read them thousands of times from those who believed they were the end of all old and the new beginning of all time and space to come... and now barely a few dozen can recall their existence.

Erm, nope... my thing with fashion is that I am to be forced to bother with it and with its creation at all, when it should just be there for me to grab, like a book, a score or a recording... or a ho.
Nothing disgusts me more about clothing and fashion, even more than the vutlgarity, the total lack of discernment and the blind pliability to the mass, even the upper masses, to those ridiculous, dull shows and advertising that are supposed to showcase sophistication, exclusivity and fun.

Whenever people (including those in the fashion industry themselves) go on too much bemoaning the lack of originality or whatever else in fashion, I roll my eyes because they're barking up the wrong tree. Clothing is a mass product for as mass a market as can be managed. So it's always going to be an "art form" compromising itself for marketability and affordability, and not for pure artistic achievement or extraordinary originality.

You are talking there like Boileau very firmly believing , in the XVIIth century, that only poetry can appeal to feelings because music is a meaningless, powerless medium of communication and expression... or my deceased grandma stating that you can not land on the moon because the moon would crash.

You are just pontificating from the clueless conviction of your total lack of imagination, about something you can not even conceive, yet firmly believe to be in a very definite way

I intellectually pity you

If you had utterly on response worth reading why'd you bother to make one at all?

You are mixing art, craftmanship and mere production as applied to a single general concept, clothing, that can be as exclusive or mass-oriented as those three modes of handling allow it to be.

If the product is based on a general abstract formula of elaboration, that is, clothing or jewelry, not dependant on the actual raw material or the excellence of its elaboration by further refining on that basic formula, as is the case with perfectly cut perfect diamonds, or high-end cars or haute couture, any sort of elaborated product can equally be either exclusive or mass-oriented, provided you have the right technology to support it without any special cost... all that you can think of can be a luxury, from just water, or the access to it, to a computer, depending on the society you live in and the technology that runs it.

So don't get me any more of that bs concerning clothing being mass-oriented per se. Covering your body may be more or less basic and mass-oriented, but clothing is so general and complex in its intefiniteness as to invalid your statement under its own weight... is leaf-covering clothing? is it mass-oriented by nature? or would that rather be leather clothing more fundamental to serve the purpose of covering and, therefore, more truly mass-oriented?
