Your trend, his fad and my icon

So, I know you maybe be wondering why I named my title "Your trend, his fad and my icon". Well, I write it off in different sections, three sections, that way you get the picture, the bigger picture.

#trending is the latest thing on MTV. (I believe even the '#' is just a fad) but seriously, here are some things I believe to be currently trending: Turtle necks, Ray-ban glasses, Uggs (Did you know that it's short for "ugly"?), hair extensions, Bench brand, and many other things but I do not care to list them because they are utterly stupid and are not worth mentioning (You know what I'm talking about Soul patch - link) I don't believe in following trends. Because most of them are stupid and everyone else is doing it, why not be your own person? I do not believe in conforming with the rest of society, and no.. Just because people are wearing a certain piece of clothing that I won't but generally, if it says something retarded like "BENCH" on the back, I won't wear it. Bench is a place to sit, not something you wear. Most trends become fads and some times are revived but generally are buried underground, where they belong.

Fads are such things as Heely - wheelie shoes, guitar hero (number 5 was my favourite! ..I admit it might have to do with the song Mumbo number 5 which is not associated any way with guitar hero, but seriously, you know it was the best if you played) and possible the worst fad ever.....SIDE BURNS. Jesus, side burns were a fad for a reason, they are horrible hair that does not belong on one's face. What man walks around feeling proud of the hair that grows out too far down your face and makes you look like you do not know how to shave? Well, I suppose I do give them props for being able to grow atleast some facial hair. But, I have to say... There was one time I was at the store and this teenage bum clerk had side burns and I swear he looks like Billy-Ray Cyrus without the the soul-patch, minus the ugly long hair. There are very good reasons why such trending things because fads - because it was a quick, premature thought to purchasing the item.

My icon, this does not necessarily imply that they are MY icons, just the ones I am more proud of. Iconism is a great status to reach, it means you beat fads in a sword fight and slayed it to the core. This also means you are more than a trending moment, and for that I shall give you a high five Mr.Icon status reacher. Steve Jobs is a really being icon right now (ha ha, notice the double negative? An icon lasts longer than trends - therefore cannot be just for the moment). Bob and Doug McKenzie, Don Cherry and also Celine Dion. Well, this completes "Your trend, his fad and my icon". Before I go I have two things I would like to mention. One being I choose specific colours, font adjustments and such things for a reason: I hope you can figure them out. (I.E: Why I choose red and what have you) Second, I will end this off with a quote:


"Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people."
-Ferris Bueller



......anyone else excited for the new Ferris Bueller movie coming out?!?! SAVE FERRIS!          -E
