Oh yeah background to this photo - it had been a terrible night. I think I'd managed like 3 hours of broken sleep, hadn't even brushed my hair and I wanted a photo to remind me that I can indeed survive the hard times.

and the previous photo I uploaded was of my bicep.
I've had plenty of terrible nights. I'm surprised I even got up this morning. But you see that wasn't so bad now, was it?

Nice bicep though, you're pretty jacked.

I'm a public enemy:

Admittedly, like so many of SNK's other fighters, SS can't really compare to the Street Fighter series in terms of gameplay ballance. It's fun to play casually, but don't expect to have tournaments with your friends or anything like that. However, SS's presentation (artwork/characters/storylines/music) is actually even better than Capcom's stuff. I would describe SS's æsthetic as a strong combination of "badass" + "elegance". The artwork in SS3 was particularly good in my opinion.

I'm not sure that SS is your style, but you're obviously a fighting game fan and you might appreciate the artwork of this somewhat obscure series.

I got my septum pierced and dyed my hair back to black. As much as I liked the red it just wasn't making me happy.

Despanan and I at Joe Yoga's album release party. Most importantly, you want to listen to this man's music. Think folk almost like Gordon Lightfoot with a vicious streak of Seattle Grunge and real pain and thrown into a lo-fi box.

Jesus, he's good.

Oddly enough the only part of that explaination of his sound I was able to follow was Gordon Lightfoot(the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald), I dont suppose his music is available on the internet somewhere.

It's on Amazon for 9 dollars. Life Out East by Joe Yoga.

Bad Hero, Cody You're Breaking My Heart, and Small Hands is amazing and so sad.

Small Hands. The sound quality is really bad, but yeah. That's just a taste.

Nice facial structure, but lacking in style.

Y'know what, you should go for that weird haircut from the SGC guy. Anything extraordinary is better than nothing.

You know. I used to rock the whole clown thing, much like you. You know, on occasion when my art doesn't demand it, I rock the patched up denim vest, shredded black pants, and the bullet belt. As far as the hair goes and such, tsk, I think I'll let it grow. You see, I found out that I don't need the hot topic look to get glances... I'm hot enough. A practical neck breaker. :-/

But thanks for the compliment.

...This coming from the guy who looks like a rejected final fantasy character.

When you grow up you'll learn that all that ornamentation is no substitute for substance. Kontan doesn't have to wear a costume to be kickass.

Sounds nice. Punk basics hold up better than goth basics, I think. Probably because it's not supposed to be very sophisticated.

'Round here 'the hot topic look' refers to newbgoths in cookie cutter commercial alt-wear though, which is hardly the standard for comparison; none of it is very inspired, and it's dreadfully ironic to purchase your counterculture image from middle-aged store owners with the money you made taking on an afterschool job.

I can believe that you get ogled as it is. A guy with good bone structure doesn't need to do much else to get attention (and laid), so if that's your only objective, you're fine. Me, I dress up because I love it, and because it matters in who you get attention from - I like certain things in people, so I should offer the same. Subverting gender stereotypes and bothering xenophobes are fringe benefits.

Coming from that guy, yeah. It must be... reverse irony, or something. =P

And of course it isn't. Substance is no substitute for ornamentation either, though. I wouldn't settle for just one of the two.

Oh, so you're just trolling IRL then?

Quote:

No, see...you aren't getting it. Ornamentation is what's practiced by boring people to distract themselves and others from the fact that they are massively fucking boring. Whether it's Gold chains and a v-neck shirt, or hoop earrings a gold-trimmed blouse and a tan or even the Gay Anime Pirate look if you have enough time to meticulously sculpt your look to that degree, you've got too much time on your hands.

Kontan used to do the same thing. Homeboy would spend hours DIY-ing various looks so he could go out and pose and "subvert gender stereotypes". You know why he did it? Because he was bored. Because he lived in Kentucky and didn't do anything. It was his one creative outlet in a sea of blandness. Guy used to pick his jobs based on which places would let him wear his deathhawk and whatnot; pop that things up, slide on his fishnets and go to Olive Garden.

Then he grew the fuck up, moved to New York, and started actually producing real art. Guess what flew right out the window as soon as he found more interesting things to do with his time? Yeah...

Look, honestly I don't want to berate you: You're a cool enough dude, and I commend your DIY skills. You were able to make a really cool costume, but at the end of the day, even after all that effort, it's still a costume: you still look like Hot topic vomited on Jack Sparrow.

You know what? It's cool, do it, have your fun. We all went through that phase, and it's fun dressing up. Just don't let looking awesome distract you from actually being awesome; and for the love of God, when it's time to let it go, let it go. You don't want to be in your 30's or 40's and still looking like that, that's when it starts to become sad: When you realize you're a 44 year old dude in a kilt and goggles, rocking a waxed moustache and impressing 19 year old girls with your skills with a riding crop.
